Hi Everyone,

I need to convert about 150 raw images into 300 x 400 pixal jpgs at 72 dpi.

Is there a way to create an action or batch script in Photoshop Cs3 to convert all the images at one time.

I have tried to create an action, but I can not seem to get it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

i dont think it will work with raw files, but to batch convert large numbers of files i use automate > web album,
set the 'large' image to the size and quality you want, photoshop does the rest, when it's finished dump the 'pages' folder the 'thumbnail' folder and any script, html and index pages and you have the images folder, all converted and resized Smile

Thanks guys,

I just learned that in Photoshop CS3 there is a Script named "Image Processor" that will automate a folder full of images to the desired size and format all at once.

It worked perfectly.

To get to it: File - Scripts - Image Processor

To get to it: File - Scripts - Image Processor
The Image Processor is CS2/CS3-specific. For CS and older you can process folders of images with action(s) in Batch mode (File - Automate -Batch)

EDITED after Splodge busted me Embarassed

Well, whaddayaknow. You win Bow Bow Bow

I was looking at the CS version I was running at the time of writing the incorrect message above.
