    Photoshop help

    Can anyone help please

    I've got LOADS of photo's from Blaze, which need to be resized!

    I know it can be 'batch' edited. But i've forgotten how

    The trouble is, some are portrait and some landscape.

    And at the moment, they're all huge, file size wise and normal size wise.

    Is there a quick way?

    If they're all the same proportions, then you can make an action & batch them. Which version of PS do you have (if it's PS2 or beyond, then using Bridge is the easiest way of batching)?

    I've got as far as copying them to another file, ready to 'save for web' but I can't see an option for reducing the file size.. unless its for emailing.

    I thought about emailing them to myself, which would automatically reduce the size but you need to have one of the following emails options, Gmail, Microsoft outlook, picasa mail and something else that I don't have

    Thats the trouble, they're not all the same proportions, I've cropped many of them. I've got about 150 (not ALL worthy of posting, I might add) but i can't face doing each one individually.. not today anyway!

    If you're on Windows, it might be worth trying the resizer in Windows PowerToys download: Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

    (If you just want the resizer, I assume you can install it using the link in the far right on the same page).

    It's not the most powerful of tools, but if you just want a quick solution it can be very convenient.

    Okay, then how about you download a trial version of iview (mac & PC).

    Create new file & import your images. Select all, then under the 'Make' menu, use 'Convert image files' and choose which size you would like the images to be (under 'Settings', tick the box for target size). Make sure that the box for 'replace original files' is not ticked. Press the button for 'Convert' and you will get an option for where you want the new, smaller files to be. Have a cup of coffee while it converts then post.

    PS Before converting, iview is spectacularly good at renaming files, so you may want to do this first, select all, then - choose something like "Blaze-Oct07-" in the renaming box and '1' in the 'start from' box, so that all of your chosen images will have relevant file names.
