I returned from Bogotá and have a Folder with 272 photos that total 419.9 MB. I would like to email them to several people who were there for the concerts I attended. I have Picasa, gThumb (not really an Editor but I believe it can reduce the quality of photos) and The GIMP installed. Is there a way I can have a photo editor reduce all of them to VGA size, without doing that 272 times? The people who will receive them are using M$ Windoze. Also, they are in a folder and it doesn't seem possible to attach a folder in gmail. A good way to zip them up in one file that can be unzipped on Windoze boxes? TIA!
why not post them on a website like picasaweb.google.com (since you mentioned picasa) and then just email the URL ?
picasaweb will autoscale them to a variety of sizes and show them to the user sized to his screen. for instance, my pictures of an astronomy campout I went to last fall... http://picasaweb.google.com/jhn.pierce/CalStar08
Or just install ImageMagicK and use convert and zip in a script:
#!/bin/sh mkdir VGA for im in *.jpeg; do convert $in -geometry 640x480 VGA/$in done zip BogotaVGA.zip -r VGA
