Are you implying that you don't want to resize them,
just reduce their quality greatly?  I resize photos
for web and email using ImageMagick via something like:
  convert -resize 50% -quality 90 bigfile smallfile

What is the point of having crappy looking large photos?
Better to have good looking small ones, IMHO.
