Those are BIG

I always use BD Sizer on the images I post. The program does bulk resizing and adjusts the compression according to the desired file size (so no trial and error playing with compression ratios). Besides, it's free.

Those are a little big. Usually I export my files at 1750px as its max size either portrait or landscape then upload to flickr and let them do the resizing. It kind of sucks that they sharpen it when they resize, but sometimes its not bad. At least it doesnt accentuate grain and stuff. Didnt leon post a huge thing on resizing images to web and downsampling them correct and such?

I was going to say they're big... but from what I could see they seems to be great!

I thought I was the only one using BD Sizer. It's been around for years and is the only software that avoids a lot of buggering about with trying to second guess file sizes. I haven't quite worked out batch processing yet and, to be honest, I only resize for the web.

I find 630 - 650 pixels along the longest edge is about optimum (especially in landscape orientation) as. otherwise, bits hang over the edge.

Very nice!  I especially like the first; the headlight is so clear and sharp.

(and I see Richard S. is in the board - welcome Richard!)

Actually, I think you're the one who introduced me to this program in the first place.

I must admit batch processing is a bit awkward.
You just drag a bunch of photos from explorer into the "apply in batch" box. Select the output folder. Select the settings you want applied and press the apply in batch button. That's for version 231.

For version 333, it's a bit different. The photo list is on the top left. You just drag files there like usual, select the options and click "run now".

From testing both on my machine, I find the earlier version faster than the new one...

Thanks, happy to have found this place, and start off with a Rollei thread at that.

A very nice set they look OK size wise with my browser. I tend to shoot a fair amount with my Rollei's too and if I can be so bold as to recommend you buy a Rolleinar close up lens as well as this addresses the main shortcoming —the close focus.
There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

I bought the Rolleinar 1, 2 and 4. I have to shoot more with these diopters.

All of these are very nice indeed! I particularly like the first and third shot of the child (outstanding!) as well as the one of the fellow playing the guitar. Very well done!
