Squeakyclean Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi Everybody,I wish to assemble say 100 images prior to selecting them to make show.The slides are at present all fairly large file sizes (taken at a high resolution with a 6MP digital camera)What is the best option ? .... can I use some sort of automated process in Photoshop? Any advice?Squeaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi, Squeaky,IMO, unless your show is some sort of a documentary, you are best to custom-edit each image one at a time in Photoshop (or other image editor such as IrfanView) as some of the images probably need to be cropped and you will want each image to look its best. In Photoshop you can resize each image at the same time as you crop it.However, once the initial editing (cropping, sharpening, colour, brightness and contrast adjustment, spotting, and other digital manipulation) is finished, or if your images are so good they do not need any cropping and other individual treatment, then you can batch-resize them in both Photoshop and IrfanView. The latter is a free download from their web site. In Photoshop, set up the details of the automation in the "Actions" window (next to "History"), and then use the "File / Automate / Batch" menu to set up the batch process.

ContaxMan Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I've just prepared a tutorial on this for our camera club. Look at:http://www.bishopthorpe-camera-club.com/Re...ces/goodies.htmwhere you'll find a pdf file of instructions and also a ready-made Photoshop action to resize landscape images to 1024 pixels wide, portrait to 768 pixels high, and allow you to select values of unsharp mask for each image individually.The tutorial explains how the action was made and how to use it for batch resizing of images for PTE.But, as Al says, you need to do some levels adjustment first, then save your original images in two folders, one for landscape & one for portrait.

Ronniebootwest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Of all the tutorials available on this subject, one of the best is a CD available from www.beckhamdigital.co.uk. Have a look at this web site and see what you think. The CD is called 'Tips & tricks with PTE'Ron West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
