How do you folks do your batch resizing... I have heard several different explanations, but none are very specific...

I just got a DSLR, and want to shrink all the images in the folder the same way... then I can post etc... and still have the originals also...

I don't have photoshop on the computer I'm currently in front of, but there is a built in function for it. If you need specific step-by-step instructions, I'm not going to be much help at this point.

Look in the file menu, under batch or automate or something like that. There should be a place to setup your own process. Then use the action window/tab to record a sequence of steps. That will basically create your batch process.

Then go back under the File menu (where you were before), and select the process you just created, specify a source and desitnation directory, and let er rip.

It took me a few tries to get the sequence of steps just right, but it's not complicated.

There is a batch tool in Photoshop, but I use IrfanView for all of my batch resizing.

I know, I know, I'm like a pimp for IrfanView... it's a great program, though, and it's free

I'm a pimp for Irfanview too, I use it for batch re-sizing as well.

Use Photoshop. You need to record an Action (show the machine what you want it to do) and then apply it to the rest of your images.

Irfanview is great for quick and easy stuff like resizing or brightening up a picture.

so if I open one image from a set folder, I would perform the action, such as dropping the ppi from 300 to 72 (for use on the web) and save that action? then do I apply that action to the folder? the help menu for PS is kinda vague...

I will check it out on my Home Comp. here at school they don't like us dropping other programs on the machines without checking with them first... but I looked at the site and it looks like a good easy program!

There are dozens (hundreds?) of tutorials on the web.

picasa is a nice easy free way to do this as well.
