Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem and I'm sure there's gotta be a better way
to deal with this. Ever since I bought a digital camera (about 2 years
ago) I've been taking a lot of pictures. I store them all on my
laptop's drive and I think this is a bit of a waste of space. I do
like having my pictures with me, but there isn't any need for full 4-6
megapixel images at all times.

So what I'd like to do is archive all my images to an external drive
(and DVDs for safety as well). Then I want to downscale my images and
keep those ones on my harddrive.

This project would have two parts...first converting all my current
images, then coming up with a process that isn't ridiculously arduous
for the future.

Any thoughts? I already use Picasa and I know I could use it to scale
my images...Is it reasonable to get it to do that for a few thousand
pictures at once though?

Thanks!

Josh
