I recently needed to optimize around 30 photos that I exported from iPhoto. These files are huge and not ready for the web, but saving all 30 manually seemed a task for the mundane.

I then remembered Droplets, a little known feature of Photoshop to convert any Action (save, resize, filter, etc.) into an icon that you can drag and drop files to, and have it perform that action automatically - a productivity booster indeed.

Learn how to create a Droplet in Photoshop by checking out my video tutorial and article here:

Bulk Image Compression with Photoshop Droplets
A word of caution, always check the results to ensure quality and filesize are in total harmony!
