Expert: Scott Valentine Date: 4/22/2008 Subject: making multiple pictures same size one step
Question I know I have read how to do it somewhere but..... my mind is fogged and I cannot remember.... I am creating a 12 x 12 layout I am using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and also have elements 2.0 as well, anywho I wish to use about 12 photos on the page and want them all to be the same identical size, say for instance 2 x 3, is there a way to choose all 12 photos and do some sort of automation to make them all 2 x 3 at the same time? Would there be an action to create for this? Just curious. Thanks so much!
Thanks for any help.

Answer Hi Brenda,
In CS2, you have the option to print a Contact Sheet or a Picture Package. I think your best bet will be to use the Contact Sheet and specify your page size and number of rows/columns.
This feature can be found under File > Automate > Contact Sheet II
You will need to do one of the following: select your images in Bridge, then automate; create a new folder and copy all the images for a given page there; open all the images you want to use on a given page. This will let you create a custom layout, and gives you the option to include the file name as a caption under each photo.
I hope this helps! If you have further questions, please feel free to ask =)
