If you feel you want to explore Photoshop a little bit more, drop me a private message - I can describe the keystrokes required so that you can automate the process I described to you in my first post.
In other words you can 'programme' Photoshop to downsize all photographs contained in a folder as a batch, at the touch of a button. It's an easy process and needs to be done only once.
However, as you have seen there are many utility programmes out there that will do something similar, but probably not with quite the same finesse as Adobe, though saying that, resizing is a very basic edit, so most programmes, even very cheap or free simple ones should be able to do it satisfactorily.
High end programmes such as Photoshop etc really come into there own when you start using the more intricate edit tools.
As an aside
I have never really used Adobe photoshop, tho it somehow automatically grabs photos when i download on computer
It sounds like you have Adobe Photoshop set up to be the default programme whenever you double click or click and open a photo file.
To get round this you can do the following:
Using the mouse hover over the photo you wish to open and 'right click' on it (press the right hand button on your mouse). You will get a drop down list which has
preview at the top of it.
About half way down you will see text saying
Open With with a black triangle next to it. Hover your pointer over the text 'Open With' and another drop down menu will appear. You will now see a variety of programmes that you can choose from, or at the bottom, another bit of text saying Choose Programme.
If you select one of the top options the photo will open with that programme on that occasion only. However if you click on choose programme, you get another box which will let you choose a programme or even browse for it.
On this menu there is a box you can tick to tell your computer that you always want the programme you choose to open that type of file ('always use the selected programme to open this type of file').
So once you have decided your favourite programme you can use this facility and from then on it will always use that programme to open files.
However you will have to do this for each different type of file i.e. jpg,bmp etc, though if all you are doing is opening photos from your camera, then they will always be the same type of file anyways.
Good luck!!
