Anyone care to recommend an app to make photos a nice small size but not
forfeiting the quality?
Thanks
PS - An addon to the likes of Paint Shop Pro would be helpful

I've used Irfanview (3.98g) to run batch reductions and renaming of
files. (One hiccup: v3.98, which is the one currently availabe on
most websties, has a bug preventing batch processing. 3.98g fixes that
and is on the irfanview forum: http://irfanview-online.de/phpbben/.

I've also used Gimp 2.2 (gimp.org) with an extension called "Dave's
Batch Processor" DBP (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html).

I can recommend both of them

Both were used to reduce and/or rotate and/or rename dozens of jpg's for
the purpose of uploading to my coppermine (coppermine-gallery.net) photo
gallery. I chose to reduce the images down to 800x600. The results
were excellent/very good. Neither proggie overwrites the original. A
big plus, imo, is the *large* communities that both of these products
engender. The problem that came up w/Irfanview was solved in 5 minutes,
for example.

I strongly recommend that you take the time to read the doc for DBP
(members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html) and try the tutorial for
irfanview (coppermine-gallery.net/tutorial/irfanview1.php). If I had
not, I wouldn't have been able to figure out either of them.

Both of these proggies do more than just resizing. If you're looking
for a proggie that *just* resizes, trying googling
pricelesswarehome.org. There seem to be good ones there, for example,
I've heard good things about faststone's Image Viewer.

Regardless of what you choose, let us know!

Do you have PSP? If so, the more recent versions have a built-in JPEG
optimizer:

"The JPEG Optimizer dialog contains two tabs where you configure the
settings and a third that displays estimated download times of the
image at various Internet speeds."

Maybe the PSP newsgroup could be of help to you:
comp.graphics.apps.paint-shop-pro
