Kathy,

I would not recommend resizing all your photos on your PC unless you absolutely need the disk space. Each time you resize and save as a compressed file, you lose some resolution (detail) in the photo which you might want in the future. If you do need to shrink them all, save the originals to CD or DVD. After all, backup is a must for your digital photos if you want to see them again in a few years. It's not quite as easy as the box of grandma's photos in the attic, but you will still be able to play that CD in 10 years.

Merry Christmas!
