Automating Compression of Digital Photos

Can anyone help me out with a way to create a script or something to automatically compress photos into JPEGs so that the file sizes shrink?



I took about 250 photos last week and people want them but the entire thing is over 250 MBs right now and I don't have the patience to do each one individually.



Anyone know how to make an applescript or folder action to do this or an app that does it?

    Use could use a photoshop action.



    Or you could use a Graphic Converter Batch.



    Or you could AppleScript Graphic Converter



    Or you could use a Debabelizer batch.



    Photoshop is probably the easiest.



    Step 1. Image Size

    Step 2. Save For Web



    If you need more details let me know.

    alright. I figured I could make it a photoshop action. Next time I go into OS 9 I'll try that.
