Well I tried that approach with the client and they were very well
extremely clear they are not going to do that . 
They want the website to do it for them.

Another option is not to upload such large files.

Prep them first with a photoshop action.  Have the customer take the
images from the CD and run them through a photoshop action to resize
them to the max size used on the web site.  You will have to apply some
sharpening in photoshop also so plan to use the un-sharp mask filter in
the photoshop action.  

Then upload the images to your app.

You will have to explain to your client what is going on... no software
can take large images and reduce them without some tweaks (sharpening)
to make them look good.

Thanks for the comments. I will see if Alagad has a sharpening option.
If not, I may have to change to ImageCR. Just have to see if the hosting
provider will install it.
If not, may have to change to a new provider.

ImageCR works great.  We use it for our photography studio's proofing
web sites that I built.  It can handle the large images you are talking
about and caches the resized image so it does not have to be processed
every time the page is requested.

It also has a sharpen setting if you find that the images are bit soft.

Any time you take large images and reduce them you are tossing out a lot
of pixels and you will need to add some sharpening to them.  This is
true with any image resizing program.

What kind of resolution (crisp look) can you obtain using ImageCR3 for a
19MEG file? 
If it can keep a sharp look for the resizing of the image, then it will
be great!

I am downloading/installing and testing it now as well.

> 2. If you convert the photo for the client do you use Alagad, another

I have used CFX_ImageCR from Efflare (version 3) in the past with
excellent results.  See www.efflare.com.
