Question
I have 100+ photos that need to be resized to be put on the web. I need them to be 600 pixels wide at the max. Can you reduce the picture size of mulitple photos in a batch? If so can you please explain the steps to me so that I don't waste months doing one by one?

I use Photoshop 9.0 but I do not know if I have a bridge installed. Please send your email address for easier reply next time.

Thanks
Dave

Answer
Hi Dave,

I haven't used version 9 in a long enough time that I had to go do some research on what was available. In doing so, I found what looks to be a great solution for you:

http://www.pagecurve.com/tutorial.php?id=5_0_1_0

This tutorial should cover all the elements you need to resize and save your images easily. And it works at the folder level. Note that you will have to set your own image size, and it's very important to work on a copy of your images in a separate folder - you don't want to overwrite your originals!

Please let me know if this solution works for you.
