Topic awaiting preservation: creating a resize script

I'm a novice at Photoshop and am trying to create a script to automate batch image resizing.... a script which will resize all images in a folder from eg. 1024x768 to 400x300 ... I've tried searching the forum for similar posts but haven't found anything (perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms !) HELP !!! Thanks ;o)

Why bother with a script when the built in photoshop automate function will do this anyway.
find it in File-->Automate-->Batch

Ya Morph's correct here... BUT... you'll still need to create the Action yourself first before you can run it through the Batch command.

Is this an attempt to produce thumbnails from originals by any chance ?? If so, and if you're on Linux or have access to a unix/linux server, netpbm is a big set of graphics convert/manipulate programs, some of which can be strung together to either generate thumbs on-the-fly, or batch convert a directory of images to thumbs ...

It runs on any system which supports the pnm library. On *nix, if you want to know if it's on your service or your box, type man netpbm at the prompt and look for some pnmto???? conversionm files. The documentation has some interesting examples.

The home page of the development is at http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/ and there is a Widows version at the home page http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/netpbm.htm .

I work with PS7 and I use it to resize pictures for the web.

Just go to FILE>AUTOMATE>WEB PHOTO GALLERY.

PS7 generates thumbnails, (resized)pictures and webpages but I ony use the thumbnails and pictures.

You can specify the size of the thumbnails and the pictures.

Very easy.

I hate being beaten to the post. Good Show... Thats the method I used to remod my family site.
