This is a busy time of the year as many parks are finally organizing last summer's photos for use on their website, advertising, brochures, or post cards. If you're storing your digital photos at their original large size or about a 1 meg per photo, you probably have the best resolution possible from any print work. However, if you plan to use those some of your photos for either an email campaign or your new website, you'll need to make the photos smaller for faster loading.

About once a week a friend sends me a pitcher of a their cute baby or new puppy and I have to wait and wait while the huge file downloads! To prevent this problem, I use a FREE program call VSO Image Resizer. It is a Windows based software. The link below will take you to the site to download it, but you might also view the free demo.

After installation, you select the photo you want to resize, choose the new size, and click OK and in seconds it makes a copy of a large photo and resizes it in seconds! The photos stay clear with bright colors, only the resolution is now manageable.

You can ignore the message to buy as that is for commercial use only. Just click continue and you can do as many photos as you want. You can fix dozens of photos at the same time.

Save this tool for the next time you have a batch of photos to prepare for your web gallery. It will save you time and make your photos look great!
