Use photo management packages that are aimed at production for Web sites. If
you have access ti Linux, you may have this capability built-in. Konqueror
can resize these automatically (Tools -> Create image gallery...), in 'batch
mode'. If you install a package like Gallery, it will handle sizes rather
well too.

If you have ImageMagick (free software), you could use the following as an
example:
for file in ls *.jpg
do
echo ${file}
convert ${file} -resize 800x600 +profile "*" ${file}
done
