He/she want's to batch process thousands of different photos taken on many different point and shoot cameras (one can only assume, over a significant length of time)...

Why we are actually replying to such a ridiculous statement in the first place is beyond me...

How about this...

OP...can't be done!

We you born with a silver DSLR in your mouth?

I didn't think so.

Point is, the OP probably assumes that post-processing means "do the same things to every image." I would think this is an easy assumption to make...... If you're not familiar with the process.

Since none of us took classes Photoshop in first grade, the OPs question is a natural one that deserves an honest answer.... Not ridicule or scorn

You know, you could always not reply! Just for fun.

What if he wanted to resize them all and add a black border? Could that be one?

I have thousands of pictures taken from regular point and shoot digital cameras, most of them with auto set. I am not an expert photographer and always prefer to take a picture in auto mode. I would like to enhance all my pictures (if there is a room for for it) in batch so I don't have to select one by one. Can anyone please suggest any software to do my job? free would be better

Back to the OPs question...he does not appear to have interest in going pro...he just wants to make his pictures look a bit better.

Search online for Camedia Master 1.2 It is ancient software that came with the early Olympus digital P&S cams. You can find it for free.

Open an entire folder in the software, select all and hit instant fix.

It won't fix every little tweak, it won't get you published in Nat Geo, but your photos will be brighter and crisper.

Just add a filter on it, and it's awesome.

oh, wait, that's instagram, nevermind.

LOL!

People are pretty cynical on this forum because they think they are gods in photography I guess and are too high and mighty to help those who have real questions. Anyways, there are lots of free software that can help make your photos look nicer.

As already mentioned, for batch processing, camedia master is an option. If you want to take the time and selective choose the best photos and then edit there is picmonkey (which charges money for a lot of features now), photocat, piizap, etc.

I read the OP's message as they already have older photos they wanted to enhance. OP, since each photo will need something different you won't be able to do the same thing to each photo. If you have some time you can download the free trial of lightroom and you can tweak each one without opening them up individually. If you have some settings that will work for a whole series of photos, Lightroom will let you apply those setting to selected photos with a click of a few buttons.

I vote for lightroom you can group your photos and then batch them in groups based on what they need it is user friendly and will help you post to file sharing sites flicker Facebook etc, also the catalog will make it easier to keep track of your photos. Stic you are being not nice do not hate on the camera used as we are all fond of saying it is not the camera it is the person holding it and not everyone wants to be a PROtogjerkheadsnob like you so let OP alone.
