I also found a batch resizer on CNET ( that doesnt make you load a mass of advertising gunk and tool bar changes ) http://download.cnet.com/Bulk-Image-Resize-Manager/3000-12511_4-10837108.html in effect once i have changed the pic size and got the exif info then it gets easier still. since now i just need to put the exif data on each pic that doesnt have it..
for me thats about twenty pics for a complete 360 pano.. but i have to say.. Autostich does a very good job.. it made this.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/54706462@N04/9486226415/sizes/o/in/photostream/ from the resized pics..
