Hi Naturenutz,
there is a free program named Faststone Photo Resizer, (free download from CNET) that allows you to resize and rename your pictures singly or in batches, and to most formats (jpeg, bmp etc)
pretty simple to use, once you have used it a few times,
worth a try ?

ashgale,

These are all common & widespread species. Agaricus impudicus is probably the least common of the three.

Andy,

What visible features are you looking for which rule out similar looking agaricus species (Augustus for example)?

I was being guided by the lack of yellowish tones to the overall colour of the cap. Also even though the veil hasn't managed to from a annulus on the stem, there are signs of small brown teeth at the edge of the veil where it joins the cap. A characteristic I find fairly constant with A. impudicus.

Hope this helps?
