The Microsoft image resizer is a good way to accomplish this task.  The amount of disk consumed by a JPG file is controlled by two factors.  (image resolution and JPEG quality).    The most common way to change the file size of a JPG image is to adjust the image resolution.    There are many programs that allow you to change this resolution, but the attached link is a very easy and free.\n\nhttp://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe

You can get jpeg optimizer and image optimizer for free, just do a google search for them.  They reduce the amount of space the images take up.\nTo actually resize the oicture, use a tool like Infranview, Paint Shop pro, or something like that.

open the picture in paint shink it (ctrl w then 20 and 20 or whatever percent you want it)  \n\nresaving the picture out of paint will make it a smaller file even if you dont shrink it\n\ngo save as... and save it as whatever and it should become a smaller file

JPG is definitely smaller.  I had a 1.5MB BMP that when I saved it as a JPG it was only about 200KB.

I'm sure you have graphics programs on your PC. Look for paintbrush.\n\nLoad paintbrush, open one of your pictures, select File, Save As and save it as a 'jpg' file format (pick a different name or you'll lose your original picture). Keep doing that for all your pictures.\n\nJust make sure you make backups of the pics first.\n\nIf you use jpg for the output, they'll typically (using default settings) be reduced down to a 10th of their size (750k would be 75k for example).

Any image software will do good reducing size of files and retain the quality. However, if you want to enlarge an image and retain image quality, that is impossible.

open the file in any photo editor that supports TIF formats and re-save it as an optimized JPEG or, if you can, a regular JPEG. You can also use an image type converter, but those are very tedious.

You need a converter.\n\nThere are freeware and retail. You have to check online for the files you wish t o convert,

JPEG is not a lossless compression format, so every time you save an image as a JPEG, some information is lost by the JPEG approximation algorithm. \nTo prevent this, either save as an uncompressed format, such as bitmap, or use a lossless compression format, such as PNG. You may also use software to adjust the compression factor for your JPEG to decrease information loss.\nA good piece of free software supporting these functions is IrFanView, which can be downloaded at the link below.

Right click on the image, choose to open it in "Paint".\n\nIn Paint, choose File, then Save as...\n\nOn the bottom of the little window that comes up you can choose what format (extension) to save it in. Choose .JPG.\n\nRepeat for each picture.\n\nThere are programs that do them in batches (many at a time) but  that's a different set of instructions.

You could do as suggested with Disk Utility as well.  Try making it into a Sparce Image.
