Hi Patrick-- Imagemagick is a good tip, and I've just been looking into it, but it is a bit daunting since I've not much experience in command-line. If I wanted to convert all the jpgs in a given folder to a file size of say maximum (or exactly) 200kb, do you know what command I could type? Or is there another way to dramatically cut filesize for all of them in a given folder? (If a command for a whole folder doesn't work, then the jpgs do have names in numerical order, like p100161.jpg for example.) --Doug
