PhalPlal do you know about Actions in Photoshop ?

Basically you set up an Action, and name it Geeks for example, and record it to resize your images to 900 pixels, longest dimension and to Save for Web.

Have a specific folder where you drop your raw images into after you have renamed them from the number the camera inprints, to a descriptive title for the forum. You then create a second folder for your images to be saved to.

I have two folders on my computers both at home and work, one called Raw, one called Manipulated for this purpose residing in a mother folder named Geeks Stuff.

You then point the Actions to the Raw folder and tell it to save in the Manipulated folder, then you point the Manage Attachments to the Manipulated Folder and Bob's you Uncle.

This sounds long and complicated, but it takes a lot of words to describe what is basically a simple procedure.

The longest part is setting up the Action, from there on it is plain sailing.

If you don't know about Actions PM me and I'll help you with screen shots, once you know about Actions you'll use them for all sorts of things.

I use them at work to manipulate up to 200 images at a time for our teaching slides. It probably takes Photoshop 10 minutes to do what I would have to spend a week doing manually.

As mentioned, the only tricky bit is setting the original Action up.
