Resolution

[pcMan]

I have around 800 pictures that are 2048x1536 and I need to make them 800x600. I know I could photoshop each one but that would take a while for 800 pics so is there any app that will do this to all the pictures instead of opening one by one?

Photoshop Elements has a batch processing feature that can do this without any problem. I would imagine (though I don't know) that Photoshop full has this same type of feature in it already.

Or check the programs listed ^^^.

Cheers.

why not just make an action in photoshop to do it?

just record an action and just take a picture and change the resolution to 800x600. i don't know how well it'll run with 700 pictures though. i just use actions for my pictures because of the simplicity of the action feature in ps:cs

i concur on the action, i built one to resize to 800x600, add frame and signature, very quick, very slick.

Irfanview has an easy batch save option.

thank you, I used the action and batch option in photoshop since I already have photoshop... just one question, my pics are jpeg and every time photoshop runs the action it opens up a window (JPEG Options) that gives me some options on the quality of the jpeg about to be saved and since I want them all the same quality then I just press OK. This happens for every picture it does. Is there any way to specify the quality settings just once and make it apply it to all the pictures? thanks

yes, leave the action recording until after you save for web and close the original file (be sure to save somewhere other then the original directory) and you won't need to touch the batch once you start it.
