I am learning photoshop and I would appreciate if anyone can tell me how to resize multiple files. For example lets say I have 20 JPEG files that are 500×500 pixels and I want to resize all twenty at the same time to lets say 150×150. I tried on the file browser section, I selected the 20 files and clicked on batch but couldn’t find anything on resizing. Is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance

thanks for that, I created the action by calling it "resize" then clicked on record and the file that I had opened I clicked on Save for Web and resized it then I saved it as a web file, after that I click on stop on the action.
But when I try that in the flie browser section using batch it wants to save it to the same file name, how can I make each file save to its own name?
Thanks again

Reading the documentation that explains this rather complex and version specific set up of "actions" is the best advice you’ll get.

As you have been told creating the action is the first part, you must also specify folders for saving the batched files in the menu that pops open when you select the batch command. One more helpful piece of this puzzle and that is your action must include a save or save as command to work. I typically chose save as and that way files are not over written and lost in the event something goes horribly haywire. 🙂

RTFM.
