Hi,
is there a more flexible batch image processor for CS3 that allows me to use a scale factor for each image to be converted into JPG, instead of a fixed size?

I presume you mean a percentage of its pixel dimensions.

Sure – Image, Image Size, and then in the top boxes select Percentage.

Make it an action or droplette and be happy.

Another way to do it is to make an action with these steps:
1. save for web and devices – select jpg of the appropriate compression
2. go to the box on the right and hit the Image Size tab
3. type in the percentage (bottom box)
4. save

That’s it.

If you look for the program with a brain of its own and crystalball then the answer is no.

May I ask you a question (just ignore if you are not plexible). Do you know what I may want with my images?

Any specific SIZE would be FIXED size and that’s what Loquak (what the heck is loquak.. some type of duck with Low Quaking sound?) doesn’t want. And the Percentage is the option to work more with the pixel than the size (yes, it does change the size but base on the in/decrease of pixel).

I don’t read his question as that at all, but if he wants to ‘scale’ the amount of reduction, he can still specify a percentage in a different dialog box of the Save…for devices.

Yup! and that’s why I got the wrong answer. Do you have reading problem? if not then post your right answer. And thanks for pointing it out for me.

Thanks for the answers, I hadn’t used actions before but it did the job fine.

NO, he wants a little more than that and that makes the whole thing becomes impossible.

YES, he wants to RESIZE

NO, he doesn’t want to resize to FIXED size but variable sizes

NO, he doesn’t want to do manually but automatically

YES, he can do whatever he wants to do *but* NO AUTO.

And the Percentage command you try to give to him isn’t the normal resize command but the Enlargement feature. The option to enlarge the image to a larger scale for larger print.
