Hello everyone,

I've got one query :
I have 100 TIFF pics (11 Mo RAW converted pics) that I liked to convert into 600dpi JPEG pics. Of course I know to do this one by one... but that's so long!
Is there any way to process this conversion automatically with Photoshop 6.0?

Thank you

You can do this with actions. I explain how to build and use actions in batch here:

Thank you Roger.

Would anyone know how to automate the following action :

"Set up the longest side of pictures to 600 pixels (for instance)"

If you create an action with let say a vertical shot (longest side = vertical side), the process will set up all vertical sides to 600... and horizontal shots' longest sides will be set up to 900 or so.

Thanks for the tip !

Open one picture in PS. Start recording a new action, perform all the modifications, stop recording the action.
Done!

You can also create a droplet and place that on your desktop. In that case you only need to drag and rop files on to it and PS will do the rest.

Good luck!

Use File->Automate->Fit image and set the width and height parameters both to 600 pixels.
