Batch Resizing?

Is there option in Photoshop or elsewhere that allows batch resizing?

Yes. Do you know how to create an action in photo shop? And do you have Bridge installed?

Well nvm.... u are only resizing. Just open bridge, select the images you want to resize, click tools>photoshop>image processor

Then tick the box that says "resize to fit" and enter the size you want it to be. you can put the same value for both and it will resize to fit within a box that size.

For a better version of the Image Processor - use Dr Russell Brown's Services. http://russellbrown.co​m/scripts.html

Although I am far from qualified to answer anyone's questions, I have just been batch resizing quite a number of images with the FREE program "FastStone Image Viewer 5.5"

I use and action in PS.
I place the images I want to resize in a folder (you can select them manually) and then run a batch process using my jpg action to save all the images in the folder as jpg and at my action specified size.

You can download resizing tools that seem to be MUCH easier than running through PS or bridge. Right click > resize. Done. If you're interested I can get the name of the tool I use when I get back to my office.

OP asked about doing the resize in Photoshop.
Bridge is the simple solution, easy to use, nothing to install or buy.

"photoshop or elsewhere"

This leads me to believe that he just wants to resize in batches and doesn't really care of the method but just that it can be done quickly and efficiently. It takes no more than 2 minutes to download the free resizing software straight from download.com. I can resize 100 images in less than 10 seconds. It probably takes longer to open bridge.

Point taken, and I agree, there are easier ways. I must have read it wrong.
I have used Bridge, and one fo the advantages is being able to also apply a custom sharpening batch to the resize, say for reducing to web etc. Certainly not exclusive to Bridge, but it means you can use your pre-rolled actions/settings and not need to experiment with a new apps sharpening etc.

For a lot of less critical work I do batches in ACDsee,. an all purpose image viewer app that has an interface I have grown accustomed to. It's really not very popular anymore.

Any program that offers Batch Scripts can be used to do repetitive tasks across groups of selelcted photos. For example PaintShop Pro has batch command creation and execution, which I have used to take bunches of photos and process them all identically, including resizing. Just a comment for all the non-users of Adobe photo software.

I'm surprised that no one uses irfanview. I remember several years back, it was very popular. Small footprint, a breeze to batch process, and good amount of options.

7 year old tutorial, this stuff has been around forever. Everyone should have a copy of this software.

Also available as a plugin for Lightroom.

If you have LR, no need to download anything, just export at the size you want.
