I need to work with some pictures on the net and indeed had a couple of hitches largely a function of the sizes of the images. Discovered imagres, and I must say it works just the way it is described.

With Imgares, in a few clicks you can shrink batch of photos, and reduce transfer times. All you need to do is to simply drag and drop your photos to the application’s window, change the size and press “Start”. As simple, as that.
