well, such a tag would suck and deselect itself from your short list,
wouldn´t it ?
Use ImageRobot batch image processor from www.Jasc.com. Just about
everything you could do to an image in PaintShop Pro 4, you can do with IR,
to 1000´s of images at once.
IR let´s you set the jpg compression ratio, of course.
You can also lay around a border of 1 or more pixels, overlay a trademark,
logo, etc. Scanned photos are almost always too pink, with insufficient
saturation and contrast. All can be corrected with IR.
Hint: re- / down-sizing an image by resampling will cause it to lose
sharpness, to soften it usually too much, esp withthumbs where you´re
already at squinting size.
So we always run our thumbs through one level of the sharpen filter as last
IR process before saving. makes a visible diff.
