[Brewster Baker]

[Mercer]

I just found out how to use the automater in photoshop after years of time waste.
Self taught by an uninformed teacher.

[HESHIANDET]

image resize was called "photo scale", there is also a crop tool one and some others.

[Brewster Baker]

damn I need to look into this...

I hate when I come back from benching and gotta resize 100+ photos

photoshop>osx

[HydrogenPeroxide]

in photoshop isnt it the droplet thing? asl files...

[Mercer]

I'm not sure if this is fully acurate but you can figure it out.
I use photoshop seven.

Open up all the files you want to resize or whatever

Window - actions
down at the bottom of the actions window - new action and record.
resize the image and whatever else you want to do later to all the files.
Stop recording
Then go into File - Automate batch and have it do whichever Action set you just recorded.

Not sure if that is the best tutorial since I just figured it out myself.

[Brewster Baker]

hmmm ill try that! ill give you props now but if it doesnt work im gonna take them bacK!

[HESHIANDET]

word pshop does it to? man, they hide the best most useful shit in these programs

[El Mamerro]

Yeah, Photoshop has some craziness hidden in the batch automator. You just record whatever it is you do to an image (crop/resize/filter/make it blue/put a border around it/anything goes) and then go ahead and apply the same process to all the currently opened files or a folder of files. Takes a few minutes to set it up correctly, but it's worth it.

orly? I am gonna have to figure out that new photoshop tip when I go home tonight seems helpful

[ClueTwo]

Truth is out...You do learn something new everyday.

[Harvey Wallbanger]

Holy shit... this probably wins the title of Most Life Changing Thread I've ever read on 12 oz.

Seriously, the time this is going to save me will probably more than make up for the time I waste in here.

[EGG]

who is macos?

[seeking]

hesh, fuck books.
where can i find this thing?

[bahleediddy]

in photoshop i use a two step process:
open an image
in the actions palette-create new action
do what you need to do-in this case resize(you can do anything like auto color,flatten,etc)
save image
close image
STOP RECORDING action

step 2
file>automate>batch(or maybe its file>batch>automate)
pick source folder
pick destination folder(i usually make a second folder inside the source folder for the new resized images, i methodically save images when i add or do something to them)
doner!?

i'm not at my computer right now but this is the best i can remember.

[SayOne]

WOW finally used this bitch....

And it totally rules!!!

[heavyLox]

[Dick Quickwood]
