Ingmar:

To summarize, you need to:
* Create an action that resizes a test image to the size you want * Once the action is created, - Put the images you want resized in a (what's called) source folder - Create a destination folder where the resized images will be placed * Invoke the action above via File > Automate > Batch

CREATING THE ACTION
Assumptions:
* All images are the same size
* All images are the same orientation, e.g., portrait or landscape, but not mixed.

* Open any test image
* From the Actions Palette dropdown menu, choose New Set. This will create a folder for the action you're about to create. Name it something appropriate like "Resize actions"
* From the menu again, choose New Action. - Give it a name, e.g., "Resize to 5 x 7" (or whatever makes sense)
* Click the button labeled "Record" (you are now in 'record mode') * Image > Image Size: Enter settings as needed. When you click OK, this command will be recorded in your action.
* Click the SQUARE button at the bottom of the actions palette. This will STOP (terminate) recording.

Action done. Close resized test image.

Create your destination folder, e.g., \processed images

INVOKE THE ACTION VIA FILE > AUTOMATE > BATCH
* File > Automate > Batch
* Your action should be selected in the boxes near the top of the dialog box * Source: Folder. Choose (browse to source folder)
* Destination: Folder. Choose (browse to destination folder)

Click OK... and away you'll go.

Note: The reason you specify a new destination folder is in case things go completely sideways, your original images in the source folder remain unchanged.

Hope this gets you moving.
