Batch Processing

[Deacon]

Help! Photoshop elements is really easy to batch process to rename or more importantly resize photos for uploading to Smugmug. Just got CS and cannot figure out how to do this on CS. Can anyone walk me through the batch resizing process?

I was going to try and give you a step-by-step to follow, I'm horrible when it comes to explaining things. So instead, here is the ball-park answer:

What you need to do is create an Action to resize your images. Once you have the Action recorded, you can then use the File Browser to select which images to apply the Action to.

Some places you might go to get more information:



Look under Automation in the Photoshop Help
ActionFX.com (http://www.actionfx.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=list_pages_categories&cid=2) - Great info on Actions
CBTCafe.com (http://www.cbtcafe.com/photoshop/batch/batch.html) - A tutorial on batch processing
I hope this helps!

Thanks, good link (they're both the same.) I didn't realize I could dictate how many actions the history palette would remember. Woo hoo - up to 40, now.

Woops! I don't know how I mangaged to screw that up. I've already fixed my first post, but here are the links again:
