Re: [Gimp-user] batches for web

  Resolution (as in dots-per-inch) is irrelevant for images used on
  web-pages. The only thing that counts is the number of pixels.
  
 Huh, I thought that lower resolution would make the file size smaller so
 web images would load faster.  No?

Absolute resolution (aka 'image size'): yes

Relative resolution (aka 'pixels per inch'): no

 Does Resize not do what you want? (I don't have DBP installed
 right now, but I thought it could scale images and looking
 at the web page I would guess Resize is what does that.)
Do you have a link to that plugin? I've searched quite a bit and David's
Batch processor has seemed the best so far, but I'm still(after a couple
years now) new to GIMP.

Depends what you are *really* referring to.
