My Canon produces huge photos. I'm not talking about their dimensions, I'm talking about poor JPEG compression that produces incredibly huge photos that look exactly the same as better compressed photos. So I recompressed them with IrfanView. Details are practically the same as before, but photos are 300% smaller. So I repeated that in 5 different folders, before I gave up. Too much work. Later I found this utility called Photo Vacuum Packer that does the same job as Irfan except it automatically processes all subfolders. This is only useful if you have tenths of gigabytes of photos like me. You can also squeeze your photos a bit. My Canon produces huge photos.

So its worth giving a try, maybe you end up having a gig of extra free space :) @ da404lewzer
