Ken,

A faster way to resize is to open the image in paint, pick RESIZE, key in 800 for the pixel width and then a SAVE-AS.? This will usually drop the image size down below half the original size.? Should you need to go smaller, use the 640 for pixel size or the smaller 480.
?
There are FREE programs that can take a folder of images/photos and resize, save and put into a common file type all in one pick.? You just select a default setting or enter the resizing manually.?? This saves a HUGE amount of TIME.
Here are two of many programs out there ...
Flexxi - Batch Image Resizer?
?
Batch Image - Batch Image Converter, Resizer?
So doing a hundred to a thousand images in a batch program would take a mere few minutes instead of hours upon hours of resize, clip, paste, and save.
