does anyone know of an action that one can feed in the final dimensions and then have a pix automatically and serially upsized 110% each time?

Hi!

1- Open an image in Photoshop.
2- Go to the Windows menu and choose "Actions". 3- In the open palette, click "create new action" button (the one before the garbage can).
4- Give it a name "Upsize 110" and a function key "F11" and you might add "Shift" and "Ctrl" if you want.
5- Then click the record button on that palette (upper right hand corner). 6- Click the photo again, go to "Image", "Image size". In the window that opens, be sure you click on "Resample image", then click on "width" or "height" and change the "Inches" or whatever you use for "Percent". 7- Change the 100 to 110, then click OK. The window will close. 8- Go to the opened "actions palette" and click on the "stop recording" button (I think it's the first one).
9- Afterwards, with the image still there, click on your "F" key that you chose, say "F11 + Shift + Ctrl".
10- Everytime you push on those buttons, the photo will grow by 110 percent. You can also click on the arrow of you opened "actions palette". 11- When you have a new image, all you need to do is to press the "F11 + Shift + Ctrl" as many times as you want the image to grow by 110%.

I learned this from Scott Kelby (The Photoshop Book).

Start recording a new action, in the size requester choose percent rather than pixels set to 110, click ok, stop recording

now just run the action on any picture

super! i've ordered his book, sounds like a good one ... being greedy ....do you think there's a way to have an 'input' box so you say something like ... make this say 14x as large or something like that and then have it do multiple resizings automatically?

I haven't done it, but if I remember, there are ways.
You can also look into the actions box. If you click on the small arrow at the top, you will see "Photoshop actions": Commands.atn, frames.atn, Image effects.atn, Production.atn, Text effects.atn, Textures.atn ... and of course you can make your own as previoiusly illustrated. By the way, Kelby has other very good books such as "Killer Tips" Marcel
