Does anyone know if Photoshop can do "Batch Resizing?" And if so how?

it's pretty easy, you can use PS or ImageReady, both already have "resize actions". adjust one of those or make a new copy to fit your specs and then select FILE --> AUTOMATE --> BATCH

Select the resize "Action" you need and change whatever settings meet your needs.

basically you make the action to do the "legwork" and run the "batch" function on your action to do all the "legwork" for a whole directory...

hope this helps,

I tried this once but I got in trouble :-( I had several files that had to be the same size. So i made an action and wanted to do this automatic. However, i had to click each item on it, opening and run the batch. Is there any option that i'm probably not aware of, to make this available for a whole directory, select and processing at once (2 button clicks away)? Would be very helpfull!

Probably doesn't matter in my case, cuz I CAN'T even find "Resizing" in the field settings of the batch window. Just as well...Infranview can do all of this quickly,efficiently, and effectively.

i think there is a follow-up window, last time i did a batch,(& it's been a while) it did the contents of a whole folder, there might be a sub-directory option.. (?)

@ez, the "action" is called Resize 50% in a "action set" resizing. The reason you can't find it is because i made a bunch of actions for my own "resizing" needs.

You need to make an action first that will do the resizing to the specs you need. Actions are real easy to do, They are basicly recorded step performed with the software. Record yourself resizing an image and name the action "resize".

Then close the image and open the "Batch" function (FILE -> AUTOMATE --> BATCH) and select the action you just made in the PLAY: drop-down menu.

@Divi, you probably would want to select "Folder" from the SOURCE: drop-down menu and clicking on the CHOOSE button to locate the folder containing the images to be "resized"...

back@ ez, you are right Infranview is a wonderful prog (i'm still amazed it's FREE) and it does a great job renaming as well as converting graphic file formats for folders full of images, but i've not found how to batch the resize/resample function...

anyway glad you were able to get the stuff done all-the-same...
