Batch Resize in Photoshop 7?

[Kris]

Hi Guys,

Anyone know if A) it can be done and B) How can it be done?

My DSL is finally back online so I need to resize a LOAD of images in Photoshop to maintain some level of quality before uploading to my webspace

Thanks for your help

Make an action.

OK

Birddog, can ya able to type the intructions for those who cannot come to the meet?

I'm interested in this shortcut as I always reduce the size so it can be user friendly in the net.

Nexxus - for reduction in size simply use bicubic and enter the final dimensions or percentage reduction required. It's only for enlargements that you should increase in 110% steps. Manually type in the sequence Alt+I, I, 110, Tab, up arrow, enter, then rinse & repeat as necessary, or record an action that does this for you.

I used a little app called Advanced Batch Converter. It will do images a firectory at a time or you can just select a bunch.

Works very well. http://www.batchconverter.com/

Allows you to resize, rotate, flip, mirror, crop, filters, watermarks, morphing effects, color enhancements to pictures. The only limit I find with it is that it doesn't dicern Landscape and Portrait photos so I have to select them seperately before doing a bulk resize. But that could be just me not wating to read the manual

and the worst thing it did not work with NEF and that's only format I can take with my cameras

Open one of the images and go to the actions pallette. Click on new action and give it a suitable name...something like..(resize for email), etc
Then click the record button and go to image/image size...type in 680 for the width and accept the default for the height. Click ok. Save your image to a new folder. Click stop recording.

To run a batch file go to file/automate/batch
Choose the action in the drop down menu
Choose the folder that contains all of the images you want resized
choose the folder into which you want the new images saved
Click/start
Watch the magic.
WARNING! TEST THE ACTION ON A FEW FILES THAT HAVE BEEN COPIED BEFORE COMMITTING TO ORIGINAL FILES. JUST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
