Automated JPEG copy and compress

[The late XV105]

I already have a process, thanks, bnt

My primary process:

1. Download RAW images from card to a dedicated "Received" folder on a dedicated "WIP" HDD. This disk is NOT backed up to avoid file locking and performance problems especially with the large video files also edited
2. Perform all RAW editing
3. Produce JPG copies of all RAW files that I haven't deleted
4. Perform all JPG tweaks
5. Perform a self-critical slide show of the result
6. Re-do any editing if required
7. Re-perform a self-critical slide show of the result, if required
8. Copy all JPGs to their respective final resting place in a logical file structure hierarchy which is on another HDD
9. Observe from System Tray icon that Memeo AutoBackup has woken up
10. Monitor Memeo AutoBackup and wait until all three backups* have finished automatically running
11. Manually verify the NAS and USB backups by random sample
12. Delete all RAW files from WIP/Received
13. Delete al JPG files from WIP/Received
14. Reformat memory card

Secondary process, once a week or so

1. Start Karen's Replicator
2. Run a saved photo net change job that copies only photos added since the last run to the USB HDD connected to the NAS
3. Verify when done that the root folder shows the same file count and total size as the source root folder

It is the latter process that I simply want to modify to include JPG compression

*eSATA HDD which serves as a convenient backup (no fire or theft protection) if I have a primary HDD crash, RADI1 NAS in the garage via gigabit network, and external USB HDD swapped periodically with another kept off site.
