I have 1000s of large (1mb+) photographs stored on my laptop and backed up on external memory.
I don't need such large file sizes, so is there a simple way to re-size them for storage?

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?  |

Is it worth keeping them as they and burning them to a DVD disc and then deleting from your lappy or external disc? Or get some cloud storage such as box.net or dropbox?

I don't want to store them in hyperspace Andrew. How much storage room is on a DVD? |

I would still like to resize them BTW, just so I can keep a folder with them all on my lappy.

Careful about re sizing them Tom as you cannot make them bigger again. Ok if you just want to keep them on your lappy but not if you intent to print any off. |

A single layer DVD holds 4.5GB. Cheap as chips so you can have as many copies as you feel content. And Kevs right about re-sizing.

If you have paint in your accessories programs you can do it through there. |

DVD is a good shout, as is external USB, you really shouldn't have any qualms putting them online in a service like the cloud, but if you really want to stick with your original plan, googling 'batch resize photos' / jpegs / images will throw up some possibilities. You may have to pay for a program or download an illegal copy.
Highly doubt paint has a batch resize facility.

Have to be done individually on Paint. |
