Anyone know of a free easy to use program for reducing the size of photos - I thought there was one here before but alas I can't find it ?
I know all the prof photographers out there will have one of these....
Thanks

Are you using Windows?
This is really handy if you have Windows XPXP/Vista/Server/NT/etc :
VSO Image resizer(Just be sure to unselect the checkboxes for the ask.com toolbar during the install wizard.)

Try 'GIMP' it's a Open Source application so totally free, but it has pretty much all of the functionality of Photoshop.

Powertoys Image resizer is perfect for quickly resizing pics, as it becomse an option inthe right click menu when you select picteus.
Gimp for everything else, it might take a bit of playing with to get to grips with it, but it does the job perfectly!

Prish becomes a right click option to. Its no Photoshop thats for sure but if all you want to do is resize for email, upload to web etc then it will do the finest.

Lots of suggests there (which I'll try later)...
At the moment, my personal favourite is www.picnik.com - which is free.
Not to be confused with piknic.com - which isn't...
