What is the easiest way to convert 300+ photos to a smaller size? Is there a way to do it without having to do it to each photo? Also, can I put PROOF on each of these in this way as well? If so, how?
Thanks,
Lorrie

| You can probably do it with an action on Photoshop. |

This program here converts images quite nicely. //www.stegmann.dk/mikkel/porta/
There's no watermark option, but it's the fastest batch resizing program i've ever used. None of that fancy looking GUI crap.
It even converts crap to SimpleViewer albums.

you'll get bajillions of results if you google "create photoshop actions," but here's a simple overview:
//www.dpandi.com/actions/
once you create an action, you can use the File/Automate/Batch command to run that action on an entire folder full of files.
for resizing tons of images to post on the web, i've found it's easier to just use the Photoshop Web Gallery automation instead. then you can just copy the images it creates and delete the HTML files if you don't want to use them. |

My favourite way of doing this is by using IrfanView, which has a batch processing function. The reason I'd use it is because it's lighting fast and would resize hundreds of photos in a fraction of the time that other programs would take.
Edit: IrfanView could also add text to each photo.

member skiprowemailed me this how-to a little while ago...

this is assuming you don't know anything about actions. if you do, then skip down to the part you don't know...
and, please, please, make a backup copy of the folder with the images you want to fool with first, before you start doing stuff to them!!!
1) in ps, open the file browser: File | Browse
2) navigate to the folder you want to run the batch process on
3) open up a single image
4) open the actions pallete (Alt-F9 or Window | Actions)
5) click the 4th button from the left on the bottom (it says Create New Set)
6) give it a name and click ok
7) click the 5th button from the left on the bottom (it says Create New Action)
8) give it a name and click ok
at this point, you are going to be recording an action (in other programs/platforms, this is often referred to as a 'macro' or a 'script').
1) click on the Text Tool
2) draw a rectangular box across your image
3) type in "Copyright Max Jordan © 2005" (the © you get by having your numlock on and typing 0169)
4) move/rotate the text to where you want it to be and hit enter
5) click File | Save and save your image
6) close the image
7) click the first button on the left on the actions pallete to stop recording
you now have an action. if you select the rest of the images in the folder, you can go to Batch | Automate and play this action. |
