now to rezize for web? I have 500 photos!

"dan spader" wrote in message

Hey folks,

Ive got photoshop7 and about 500 photos at about 7 megapixel in size taken with my new digital camera
Now I want to put them all on a webpage.

The original jpegs are about 3,000 to 4,000 kbytes in size
My question: can photoshop do a batch resize to about 600×400 and save at

a

lower quality jpeg setting (ie level 6-7).

I’m aiming to make no more than 100 kbtytes in size.

Thanks in advance!

Yes.

You just create an action, and then apply it to a whole folder of pics, with saving instructions included.

Or use Irfanview’s batch mode to resize and resample the pictures for the web. See http://www.irfanview.com

Much more simple/easy.
ACDSee has a similar tool.

If you want people to "enjoy" your images, you’re crazy to try and do a ‘bodge’ (sorry ‘batch’) job, except for maybe the sizing only.

To get it right you have to do each image individually, the cropping, the colour correction, lighten, darken, sometime selective changes, and finally the ‘unsharp mask’, before "saving for web".

For dial-up users (55% of all users) 800×600 is just too big. 600×400 is fine for web use and try to keep the file size down to 60K or below if you "really" want people to look.

There’s no point in buying P/S 7 and doing a cheap job.

You’re getting worked up over something he neither said, nor implied. 🙂
All he was talking about batching WAS CROPPING.
That was IT.

another idea:
create a thumbnail-site (also possible with irfanview) where everyone who is interested to see a specific picture is linked to a view of better quality

As others have said, an Action can automate this for you. And there’s IrfanView too.

Another trick I use when I get lazy with Actions is to use Photoshop’s Automate tool for "Web Photo Gallery". You can then use the html pages or just extract the jpg files from the "images" folder.

As another poster pointed out though, automation can have its problems. The images will not be optimised for quality and/or size. I find that when I resize that I need to apply differing levels of sharpness. Again, Actions can do this for you to some extent by applying some level of sharpness but it will have to be a good guess.

Good Luck!

"Getting it right" seems to be the least of concerns for the new digital mavens.

Irfanview is a LOT faster too.

JpegSizer will do this and a lot more during the batch process, such as re-sharpening after resizing, and adding captions (watermarks).

It will also let you generate resized thumbnails AND full-screen images in the same batch run.

Heh, its 500 photos of some drunk parties i was attending 🙂

Getting it right will be for my serious photography for which this is not 🙂

I have routinely cut over 7,000 images a day with Photoshop Actions and Droplets. It seems a shame to go looking all over the world for a solution you have already purchased.

Because knowing PhotoSlop Actions is basically a dead-end skill?

for i in *.jpg; do
convert -geometry 800×600 -quality 90 $i x.jpg
mv x.jpg $i
done

A whole 5 seconds of typing. A few more and it becomes "safer", and about 30 seconds more and you can do the conversions from one tree into another tree or anything else.

Standard unix (or even Windoze) shell scripting is VASTLY more flexible, infinitely more convenient, and best of all, you can leverage these skills to do _much_ more than dick around with images. http://www.imagemagick.org

Install Power Toys. It has a good image resizer. integrates with Explorer. all you need to do is right-click and click on resize

Use Dr. Brown’s Image Processor 2.2
http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html It is easy, fast, and great to do things just like this.

Irfanview batch processing .. does anything you want in one stroke if needed … just converted 1200+ scanned slides to fit standard 1024×768 size, mixed landscape & portrait pictures .. works like a charm ..

FWIW

This is great! Is there a version for Windows 98SE?

The man already has Photoshop which will do what he wants. Why should he go with your program? Or is it spam?

ImageMagick "convert.exe" is what you want.

If yer on windows, head to http://cygwin.com/

In the installer, make sure you get ImageMagick selected.

Here’s an example of how it’d be used to downsample your photos in batch:

He would probably have the job done with Irfanview before he figured how to use the Photoshop CS actions to do the job.

I have PS CS too, but I still use ACDSee for quick re-sizing of large quantities of images for the web…
WAY easier than photoshop–even than using batch/action commands…

It is very easy to use the Windows command: File—-resize pictures. It can be applied simultaneously to a selected group of pictures and besides the choices of Small, Medium, Large and Handheld, a Custom size is available. I haven’t tried it for more than about 30 pictures at a time but I see no reason why that number should be a limitation.

I am using Windows XP and, when a graphics file is selected in Explorer, the File button displays Resize Picture as one of the options. I’m not sure but, if you don’t see the choice, I may have installed it with the Tweakui Powertoy for Windows XP from Microsoft.

Further to my message, I did a little checking and the resizer *is* available as a download from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppow ertoys.mspx

The download is only 512kB and has never caused any problems, so much so that I use it automatically and had forgotten that it was not part of the basic installation.

I have been using this PowerToy for almost 2 years, it works great! The largest batch that I have converted at one time is 200 pictures. Processor speed and RAM make a big difference.
Too bad it only works in XP, I miss it on my machines that have Win2000.
