Is it possible to use Exiftool to reduce size of Images for EMailing ?

[Andy Quinlan]

Hello Phil,

Your program is Super to use.

Is there a single option I can use to reduce the "Images size"  for Email sending ?

Kind regards
Andy

Hi Andy,

ExifTool deals with image metadata.  To reduce the metadata size to the minimum, use this command:

exiftool -all= FILE

This deletes all metadata.

However, I think what you really want to do is to resize the image using an image editor.  ExifTool will not do this.  I usually resize to 800x600 for emails.

I know that you can create a "Macro" in PhotoShop to resize images. I would not be surprised to find out that other editors have the same ability. With this macro, I can re-size two, or two hundred images in one setting. Something like this might be what you are looking for.
