I have a folder of a wedding that i shot and would like to resize all photos to same size to save on disk.Can that be done in photoshop cs?
the customer wanted a cd.What is a size that i can use to save it to cd that will look good on monitor but not large enough to print anything over 5x7? Is this asking to much.Any suggestions?
thanks

The answer is Batch actions

A good size for monitor viewing is 800x600 pixels or so

Start by reading the help file. Come back if you still have questions.

Patricia, while an action will do what you want, there is an easier solution: Dr. Brown's Image Processor, which is available as a free download for Photoshop CS (it's included in CS2 as the Image Processor). Go to <http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html> and scroll down 2/3 of the way to the bottom, under the heading "Adobe Photoshop CS Scripts", where you will find a description, download links, and movie demon links for Dr. Brown's Image Processor 2.3 for CS. Alternatively (or in addition), you can download the next item down, Dr. Brown's 1-2-3 JPEG. This works like the Image Processor but will only save as JPEG.

Patricia:

Michael's advice is a good solution. If Dr. Brown's script doesn't cut it for you, shoot me an e-mail (click my name above) and I will be glad to walk you through writing the action and invoking it in batch. Not a big deal after you've done it a couple times.
