Looking for recommendations on picture management and presentation technique &/or software. Presently in the office we download from the camera to a sub-folder within the project directory i.e. "17xxx-EXISTING-MONUMENTS-11-17-17", then import to a word document and add annotations.
My biggest gripe about this method is the fact I have to edit each photo, individually (haven't found a global way to do it) to 4x6 so it fits on the page. Which isn't bad for a couple dozen, however Friday I had to photograph a stream that bisects our site and took a 107 pictures (7gb worth); which now need to be captioned and cobbled together into a pretty presentation for export to the review firm and state agencies.
-Is there a software that handles this task better?
or
-I'd settle for a way to globally edit the photos to 4x6 before importing to word?
Thanks

Try imageresizer . It is a very small plug in for windows that works really good. You can specify size or use a pre-defined size.

If you have a powerful PDF editor, such as Bluebeam (one of the best). You could convert all your pictures to 4x6, convert these to PDF and edit your pdf on the editor.

Yep, use IrfanView to batch resize, or other common operations. You can batch rename them too. Been using it for years.

That program loads a formfinder plus tries to change your homepage. I hate those kind of programs.

It did stop it. Actually I have Windows 7 on this computer. That webpage tried to trick me into loading a bunch of other stuff also. I'd stay away from it.

We have to deal with a lot of photos when doing flood studies and other projects for a government client. I actually handle them in AutoCAD. I insert them as a raster image into a basic template I put together, add text as needed, and then print them for the report. The best part in my mind is that I have full control of the size, I can put text over the top of the photo if I want to, and it's in a software I'm familiar with.

That's how I handle my Elevation Certificate photos. Might be a little cumbersome for 100 photos though.
