    Evening!

    I have a ton of travel photographs in a folder, that I want to resize to be able to upload to my server. I had heard that in Adobe Photoshop CS or ImageReady CS you were able to create a batch that allows you to resize all images from within one folder

    Is this true, and if it is how do you do it?!

    Thanks

    Darren

    Fireworks has an option to batch resize and it works really well.

    You select the folder and select all and then save the whole batch, one thing to watch for though is whether the picture is landscape or portrait, because it will resize them all to the size that you specify!

    You can open the portrait ones with microsoft picture viewer and change the orientation before doing the batch process and then change them back to portrait afterwards.

    Seems you already have a solution, but in case someone else finds this thread in the future and does not already own the program, AutoImager also offers batch image resize features.

    Also, you should be able to batch by percentage of the total size, if they are all the same dimensioned images. This way you can re-size a whole folder of images regardless of them being landscapes or portraits. Obviously it doesn't work if you have a bunch of images with different dimensions, but for resizing a folder of digital camera images or similar, it works perfectly.
