Batch processing

Steps for Batch Processing!!!!

Open up Photoshop and go through File>Open, select one of the images and click Open

Give a name to your Action and click Record to start, I named my Action Resize


From now on, Photoshop will be recording every command you make, so make sure you follow the following steps correctly. Select the image and go through Image>Image Size, and just change the width 3 or 4” and the height will fall in proportion. Make sure the image is 300dpi.


Save your image into a new folder. Close the image, go back to your Actions Panel and click on the Stop button. This has stopped the recording so that the action has been recorded until you closed your image in previous step.


Now that all of the actions are recorded all you have to do is simply Automate the action on a batch of images saved in a specific folder. Go through File>Automate>Batch . The Batch menu allows you to play a previously saved Action on multiple similar files. The Source section is where you select your desired source folder and the Destination section indicates where will the output images be located at. Finally, the File Naming section allows selection of various ways to save your output files, in the screenshot below the output images will have their original file name along with their original extension
