Picture shrinker

I'm responsible for posting the cast pictures to the Civic Theatre website. Typically a photographer goes to the theatre to take the pictures, they send them to me, and i resize the shots and post them with along with a brief bio. Normally that's not a lot of work; however, Wizard of Oz has a gigantic cast (half of which seems to be trees oddly enough). The part that had taken the longest in the past was the image sizing. I had Photoshop on my old box, and it ran really slowly. I wanted to see if i could find a more lightweight helper. A short google expedition dug up an app called ImageWell. It helped me resize, rename, and upload the pictures in no time. That made me happy.

ImageWell rocks. I always use it to throw a quick drop-shadow on images. If you resize/upload a lot of photos, I recommend EasyBatchPhoto from Yellow Mug. Their stuff is simple and very well done.
