Do you find pictures are eating your hardrive space?

This little darling will save you space by resizeing your picture to a much smaller scale and there you have it. Its perfect for those facebook photos that you just cant bring yourself to delete.

Just remember thats its gonna seriously lower your image quality if you go and shrink everything to a tenth of its size and try to enlarge it again to print, so dont be doing this for those wedding pics.

Hope it helps someone.

I hope it doesn't automatically shrink 'everything' for you.

Another bit of French software - PhotoFiltre - will allow you to change an image size (keeping aspect ratio) but not 'automatic' - you'd need to individually select photos.

Also, with the price of external hard drives coming down so much (45 to 50 quid will get you a drive holding 1000 GB) it might be better to backup all your music, documents and photos onto an external drive and store it away nice and safe!

Many laptops and desktops come with 160 GB, 320 GB, or 500 GB (and some have up to 2000 GB in brand new desktops), so how big is your drive that you are filling it up ? If your machine is 40 GB or 80 GB, then perhaps worth looking to upgrade in next 18 months, anyway.
