I've looked in the book and checked the file browser and no luck. Is there any way to take a group of photos that I just uploaded from my camera (2500x1900 px) and resize all of them at once? I would want to make them all the same size of course.

Thank you.

Hey Hammy,
Simply use the "script" function: You create a script with all the operations you want, then use "traitement par lots" (maybe:" batch treatment" in english), to apply all these operations to a group of photos.

I have Adobe, Classroom in a book. I guess I just didn't know the term I was looking for thats all. I'll try to "create a script." I never heard of that but I'll defiantly read up on it.

Thanks guys.

<edit> where do I find the script command? I just opened my book to the index and I can't find anything about that.

OK... here we go.

Click on Window > Actions.
In the small window that appears (on the right) delete any actions that are there and click on the white page at the bottom which means "Create new action". You will be asked to choose a name. Let's choose "Resize" for this example.
You will notice that the record button has been activated in the actions window.

Do what you need to do to the image (ie, re-size and save at an appropriate compression).

Now click on the stop button at the bottom of the actions window. That's the action part done.

To execute the command for lots of pictures, click on File>Automate>Batch.
In the window which appears, in the "Action" part, make sure that "Resize" is chosen.
Where is says "Source", choose "Folder" and browse to your folder of photos.

Now you have a choice of simply saving the images on top of the originals, or creating a new folder with the resized pictures. It's up to you. If you just want to overwrite the original (a bit risky the first time round), where it says "Destination", choose "Save and close". I would recommend you back up those pictures first though. Otherwise, you can choose "Folder" instead and then browse to where. Up to you.

Good luck!

Here is another option..Irfan viewer is a tool that can be found on the internet which allows you to do batch conversions by size, file type etc. It is free and can be downloaded
from the following site: http://tinyurl.com/4zbrb

If you want a quick start on the resizing protocol, please PM me, and I will do my best to
give you a quick rundown on which buttons to push to make it happen..

Stu, I liked your comprehensive workthrough on the Photoshop actions palette related to the batch resizing protocol. I didn't know how to do it in Photoshop until I read your help file.
Thanks for the information..
