What's a good image management program?
What's a good program that can do operations including compression on multiple images? I just noticed my new camera folder album exceeded 2GB, which is ridiculous. I've noticed the given resolution of taking a picture with every digital camera is always twice the real resolution less. It's so obviously blurry it looks upscaled. Same thing with 1080p Blu-rays, they all look upscaled 720p. Pure waste of bandwidth and storage.
So is there a program that can resize all my images to 50% and then apply compression, preferably the compression being customizable. I always go with 95 for photos I need perfect and 80 for the rest. |

Can't speak to the specifics bc I only use about .02% of it's capabilities... but it seems to me like it has some pretty serious functionality. -- Pete Cresswell |

With a lot of cameras, especially the ones that are designed primarily for taking videos but have a stills feature, it is my opinion that they're often let down by the optics - i. e. the lens. If you're pretty sure the camera isn't capable of doing justice to the theoretical maximum resolution of its sensor, then set it to use a lower resolution: most of them can be so set, though few people bother, or even know this.

I always go with 95 for photos I need perfect and 80 for the rest. For sorting the ones you've already taken, try IrfanView: it can certainly do batch shrinking by half (really quarter, i. e. half in each direction); it's free, small, and fast. I _think_ you can set the compression too. -- J. P. Gilliver.
