Thank you, to everyone who responded and for all of the ideas!
ImageMagick seems to be one way to go. Posting them to Picasa online,
the other way. I agree that emailing them to everyone wastes a lot of
bandwidth. I must make them available to the Webmaster of the official
web site and one of the chorus singers (a serious amateur
photographer) has a blog and he wants them. And now I have people who
participate in the forum who want them to. If I can get them posted on
Picasa for free and they can download any of them they like, that's
the best way probably and the easiest for me. I was standing about one
meter from the stage, so I have some very good photos, along with some
bad ones. Thanks again! I will check out how to get them uploaded to
Google's Picasa, since I have Picasa installed.
