I took photo the total size of 800mb. The problem is each photo are about 3-5mb. How can i reduce all of them at once to smaller resolution and maintaining the size? If i were to use paint i can reduce it to about 100kbs. But the problem is one by one reduce will take time.
How can i do it? I do got a photoshop CS2.

Seriously, this is not bad.. Friendly users... Just select which picture, then right click and resize to the size you wanted. Easy as that

it's very simple, even my dad knows how to use it laugh.gif. Just launch the program, click file, batch convert, choose the stuff you want to convert and "add all", set the advance option (picture size by W X H or by %, and etc) then click START...BAM all done in a couple of mins.

Will reducing size take times? Photoshop CS2 can't do this stuff?

adriankhoo: press 'B' and you'll arrive at the Batch processing dialog box. Navigate your way from there. I wrote a tutorial somewhere, let me dig it out. Will post when I find it.

1.0 How to resize ONE picture at a time
    ===================================

0.  Download and install IrfanView from http://filehippo.com/download_irfanview/
1.  Open the picture you want to resize with IrfanView
2.  Select "Image -> Resize Resample" from the menu bar OR press Ctrl-R
3.  Select the button "Set new size as percentage of original"
4.  Adjust the percentage accordingly. Try out values from 20% to 30% to get a
    suitable size. Keep in mind not everybody has Streamyx so resize the picture
    so that it's small enough to be viewed by dial-up users but still large
    enough to be viewed comfortably.
5.  Press "OK"

    ===================================

0.  Download and install IrfanView from http://filehippo.com/download_irfanview/
1.  Make sure all the pictures you want to resize are in a common folder. Not a

9.  Select the button for "Set new size as percentage of original"
10. Adjust the percentage accordingly. Try out values from 20% to 30% to get a
    suitable size. Keep in mind not everybody has Streamyx so resize the picture
    so that it's small enough to be viewed by dial-up users but still large
    enough to be viewed comfortably.
11. Make sure the box for "Preserve aspect ratio (proportional)" is checked   
    (ticked).
12. Make sure the box for "Use Resample function (better quality)" is checked
    (ticked).
13. Check (tick) the box that says "Sharpen".
14. Put in a value around 25.
15. Check (tick) the box that says "Save files with original date/time".

depends on what size u resize la..... most of the time, the moment u resize a pic (i only used microsoft power toys) the size will reduce - even if it's a 3000x2000 shot and resized to the same 3000x2000 reso. ther'es no way it'll stay the same. quality drops the moment u click resize.
