Image Resize and much more
One issue with capturing imagery in the field is that images usually turn out to be very large. At the same time upload times depend on what internet speeds are available.
A quick way to resize images is to use Microsoft's PowerToys for Windows 10..
Two tools that you may find handy is Image Resize and Power Rename. The latter will allow you to quickly rename a large number of files. You would, for example, name them after WIMRS mission number, location, or any other name.
