mueller - Thanks for the post. I played with this for quite a while yesterday using Photoshop Elements 6. I scan each image in - then do a batch resize. It works very quickly and is very easy - but my images are larger than they were with the old program I used - so I'm still playing with things to try to decide how to resize them and keep them small.
For my purposes most of pics don't need a lot of detail. I have over 12000 pictures (not all loaded products yet). My customers that purchase cross stitch from me will sometimes view over a thousand pages before completing their purchase - so bandwidth is a huge problem for me.
I try to keep my larger pics around 50 KB and my thumbnails 8kb or less. For my jewelry I sometimes opt for more detail.
Thanks for the link - I appreciate these kinds of posts as they lead to things I haven't tried before.
