Turbo-charge your photos: Phoenix, Flickr, JPEGCrops and Qtpfsgui

There are assorted options to process a bunch of images, perhaps when resizing for the Web -- like this story 'ere. JPEGCrops, a free download for Windows, uses the clever approach of cropping via thumbnails. You quickly work your way through a batch of mini-images, then crank the handle and stand back as the excised file data is discarded for each picture. The remainder of each file is unaffected, so you don't lose any data in your finished image. Other options include a range of preset file sizes and ratios, and straight-up resizing.
