r/Photoshop's list of helpful learning resources (Start here if you are new!) This group is for general questions, tricks, techniques, troubleshooting and so forth. Welcome to the Adobe Photoshop subreddit. This can be different from the folder you’re processing from (if you’re processing images from a folder).Click here to show unsolved question posts (and try to help the posters) The Sidebar You can also select a folder in which to save the processed images. Choose which action to perform and which images to run the action on.įor DESTINATION, choose NONE to perform the action and keep all the images open or in the same folder. To execute an action on a batch of images, go to FILE > AUTOMATE > BATCH. Once you’ve created actions, click PLAY to perform them on a single file. Stop recording when you’re done with tasks.

Set the dimensions within which to constrain an image. As soon as you name the action and click OK, it begins recording tasks exactly how you perform them.Īs an example, we’re going to use the FIT IMAGE command found under FILE > AUTOMATE. Give it a name that reflects what the action will do. Start by creating a new set in which to group your new actions. Make sure the actions palette is visible by making sure it is checked under the Windows menu. You can download a set of actions specifically created by the Colgate Visual Resources Library for use with creating PowerPoint (and Keynote) presentations.

A hint for naming the image is to refer to it size, which can help distinguish it from the larger file. This provides maximum compatibility and optimal file size. It is best to save the file as a JPG if it will be used for a presentation or a document (e.g., PowerPoint, Word). Choosing SAVE would replace the original larger image with this new smaller image. This is the best practice to use, just in case you later need the bigger image. To save the image, go to the FILE menu and select SAVE AS, which allows you to give your modified image a new name. The width automatically changes to maintain the original proportions. The newly adjusted size in the example dialogue box is still too big to fit into a 1024 x 768 pixel slide, so we’ve adjusted the height to fit. The only part of the box you need to adjust is the PIXEL DIMENSIONS box.Ĭhange the value in either WIDTH or HEIGHT and the other dimension will automatically set itself.Ĭheck to make sure the new size fits into the area of the slide you want it to occupy. In the dialogue box, make sure that the three boxes at the bottom left are checked. Go to the IMAGE menu and choose IMAGE SIZE to open the IMAGE SIZE dialogue box. Open Photoshop under FILE choose OPEN, and select the image you wish to resize. To resize an image in Photoshop, simply open the image, reset the size, and save the image with either the same or a different name.
