resizing 450 photos

[nominees]

I have about 450 photos and want to upload them to my website. Are there any tools that can make the images smaller? I don't want to resize them in photoshop one by one.
Thanks.

make a macro in photoshop and then file > automate > batch, using that macro you've created. and voila ;)

hi, Prewe,

Thank you. How to make a macro? :) do I need to know programing? I am not good on this:confused:

MrBean, I will try the software you suggested. does it support batch rename? I want my image name like this: DSC06637_small.JPG . the original image name is like this: DSC06637.JPG.

just open Actions (windows > actions) and create a new action, start recording, resize one image, or what it is you want to do and when you're finished with the first picture, press the stop-button, and it's good to go. i dunno if it's called macro in english, i roughly translated the swedish word i use for it, sorry if i misintepreted ;P

Thank you so much.
I will try it.

prewe, yes it is called a macro. Nominees, when you've recorded your action or "macro" load all your files into one folder, then open photoshop, file>automate>batch. Choose your action, whatever you called it, then choose the folder where all the files are. Photosop will start crawling through applying the action to every file, this may take some time.

Thank you everyone.
At last I choosed that software. It's totally suit my needs and easy. The only problem is I need to pay for it:mad:

Thanks again.

i think there's a Photo Thumbnail Webpage Automation preset alread built into photoshop, you just have to determine how many you want per page.

Irfanview. Powerful, fast, and feature-rich batch converter. Awesome.

Does it work on Mac, Broacher? Always looking for alternatives, especially with the word "fast" in the description.

I've used this before, it was pretty handy:

It's the "Image Resizer" - it lets you select a bunch of files in windows explorer and just right click and resize to a specific size. I think that's how it works.

This might work. Haven't tried it. It's an online image resizer tool.
