Hi,<br>
<br>
I have about 9GB of photos. These images are 2560 X 1920 and are roughly 2mb each. I assume I could get away with a much smaller image.<br>
<br>
What size should I reduce these to?<br>
<br>
During my research most suggest using ImageMagick from the command line. Is this the best practice?<br>
<br>
I'm sure I will want to use some type of script since I do not want to do this one by one.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help!!<br>
<br>
Keith<br>
