Batch Image Resize

flyingfridge · February 9th, 2006, 2:41 AM

Does anyone know of a program that will do a batch image resize or do I have to do all my photos manually?

I have a heap of photos that I want to e-mail, but a 75MB file is a bit large, so I need to shrink them down. I really can't be buggered doing them one by one though.

Thanks in advance!

photoshop will let you make your own batch image resize by recording a macro. what you would do is on the right side, there is a toolbox named actions. you use this for the macro recording. have a picture open, click record, do the resize that you want, then stop recording. you can then run this for all of your pictures. hope that helped you.

Yep, I just use the windows XP thing that Matt posted. The quality of the resized pictures isn't great, but it's really fast and easy to use. I find that it's fine if you're just e-mailing the pictures to somebody.

I use Photoshop Elements for this. It has a "Process Multiple Files" feature right on the File menu. The quality is what you'd expect from Photoshop: top notch.

i use that one, too. you mustn't forget to enable that resample function under advanced options in IV though, otherwise the quality will suffer.
