I've never had to re-size numerous images at once.

I'm not seeing a re-size option under the batch dialog.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

I'm on a huge deadline for this.

 

Thanks for any help

Will everything be resized to the same width or height?

If you can't find a way to do it with Photoshop, Irfanview (free) will do batch resizing. http://www.irfanview.com/ To do with Irfanview, File-Batch Conversion/Rename, use advanced options to select size by pixels or percent, along with many other options.

I forgot all about Infranview.( I usually use PhotoShop for everything) I used to use ACDSee, and it did a pretty good job,but don't have the time to look for it right now.

 

Client wants a PowerPoint presentation put on 100 CD's with labels for a trade show.

I was supposed to get all of the content last Friday, but they didn't give me the stuff until today... Now I've got to rush the thing.

 

Isn't that always the case?

 

Thanks for the help.

Euhm, couldn't you just open the first file you have in Photoshop, press the create new action icon; name it and start recording? Resize it as needed, save as whatever and press stop at the bottom of the actions palette? After that go to automate; batch and just choose to perform the action you just created... That's how I would do it...

Coming soon

Yes, you would have to record an action of the resize on one of the files and use the batch to run the action. You can even make a droplet. Then sit back and watch it work.

Thanks...so many of them were horrible scans, and different aspect ratios , I just used the lo-res versions and cropped and resized right in Power Point.

I'll work on that Action/droplet approach for the future.

Thanks again

Theres a pretty cool windows "power toy" called image resizer that might be helpful

You can select single/multiple images, right click and choose sizing options.
