Resizing images made easy

If your like me you end up with hundreds if not thousands of photos from a day of shooting and now face the tedious task of organizing, editing, and resizing your photos. While photo software suites help with performing batch resizing jobs you often need to pay an arm and a leg for quality software which often presents you with the tedious task of getting it to do what you want it to do.

If your looking for a quick way to resize a large amount of images to reduce the overall disk space your pictures are taking up you can use a great free utility called Mihov's Image resizer. This tool lets you resize .jpg, .gif, .bmp formats as well as perform several types of picture conversions.

You can download Mihov Image resizer @ http://www.imageresizer.com/

When you first install the program be sure to take a peek at the options section. There you can specify the way Mihov saves your new images either by appending a new file name or saving to a new folder.

There are also services such as Photobucket.com that let you upload your images an online account. This is a great way to store backups of your photos as well. You can also specify if you would like to have these images automatically resized upon upload.
