Batch file conversion/sizing

[JRR]

We have had threads about batch running files to a size that works well for AV shows. Several options were discussed: Irfanview, PhotoShop etc

Well here is another that does even more...

My wife just gave me a day-late birthday present

She pointed me to the following site that has a free utility to convert a series of images of one file type to multiple file types, convert the colour space, "fit image" to maximum size length or width, sharpen, save jpg to desired quality etc.

(But I don't think it makes kitchens sinks )

The one thing I would like it to do, but it doesn't, is to save jpg's to a file size (# of kb) rather than quality. That would be a unique request from AV'ers? (I have found that for plain background images, you sometimes need to bump up the quality to preventing pixellation particularly when projecting shows)

The site has a tutorial, plus a second shorter tutorial that updates the first one, plus the download

Look for Image Processor 2.3

Thanks JRR for a great website URL. I just scratched the surface but for Photoshop CS it's a great plug-in. There are many other tutorial movies on PS CS which are well done - I only looked at a few. Long downloads unless you have broadband.
