AboutNeal Ziring Expertise Experienced user of versions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and X3 mostly for
web page graphics, some photo retouching, some technical document
illustration. Right now I only have versions 12 and X3 available to me,
so I'll be best at answering questions about those.
Question I have over 1000 images in different size - same resolution
is there a way to make them all the same size?
outomatically
thanks

Answer Mark,
PhotoPaint has a feature called "Batch Process" that you
can use to apply the same processing to a large number of
image files. To use batch processing, you need to do
these steps:
0. Figure out exactly what you need to do to fix the images the
way you want. Rehearse this procedure a couple of times to
make sure it works.
1. Load up an image that is representative of the images you're
going to process. (File->Open..)
2. Open the Recorder docker (Window->Dockers->Recorder).
3. Hit the little Red "Record" button at the bottom of the
recorder docker.
4. Follow the procedure from Step 0 that processes the image.
(Don't save the image; the batch process will take care of
that.)
5. Hit the little square "Stop" button at the bottom of the
recorder docker.
6. Save the script of actions from the recorder docker, using the
little Save button at the top of the docker. Remember the
name and location of the saved .csc file.
7. Close all open images.
8. Open the batch process dialog (File->Batch Process..)
9. Use the Add Files button to add all your files to the dialog.
(I usually put all the files I want to process into one
folder so that I can add them all at once.)
10. Select the script to apply using the Add Script button.
Choose the script you saved in step 6.
11. Under Options, choose On Completion: Save to new folder.
Also, check the box labeled 'Close on completion'.
12. Choose a destination folder using the Browse.. button.
13. Click on Play (then go get a cup of coffee, because if you
have 1000 images, this is going to take at least 20 minutes
and probably longer, and your computer will be too busy to
do anything else)
That's all!
Using batch process has worked for me in the past, though I have
sometimes had to manually tweak the CorelScript script if I'm
doing something complicated.
