Resizing images (batch) in PS CS5 ?

Hi
I have a client who needs images of his products sized to 320 x 230 px-72 ppi and I'm having problems, I'm sure the software is fine, I just can't get my brain wrapped around how I get the images resized to this exact dimension.
All the native images are in .psd and are huge. If I can figure out how to achieve this with one image, I'm sure I can figure out how to create an action and resize the entire folder, but then again if you have a better way, I'm all ears.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thank you for the reply.
I'm in PS CS3, how do I set the crop fro 32.23 ratio?
Thx

Best way to batch resize images in nested folder hierarchy?

Hello,
I'm looking for help on [what is probably] a classic problem related to content sites.
I'm launching a content site that has numerous articles, and attached to each article is a number of images. The raw site assets are currently set up in a folder hierarchy like this:
Overall site assets folder
Category One folder
Article One folder
Unmodified images folder
Resized, production-ready images folder
Article Two folder
Unmodified images folder
Resized, production-ready images folder
Etc..., etc....
There are hundreds of articles in this hierarchy.
I'm looking for a script that will take every image in each "Unmodified" folder and save a resized copy to the "Resized" folder, preferably with different settings for vertical and horizontal images (though I'll be OK with just fixing the width if need be).
I realize that I can do this manually and locally within each folder with a droplet, but between droplets / actions / plug-ins or third-party tools, is there an easy way to accomplish this across a large nested hierarchy with many folders as long as the Unmodified and Resized folders are nested together? And what about horizontal vs. vertical images?
THANKS!!!!!!
Scott

Ahhh, I understand what you're saying. I'm downloading and installing this CS6 script, which might be along the lines of what I'm looking for:
Dr. Brown Services - Image Processor Pro
http://www.e-zest.net/blog/photoshop-cs6-save-for-web-images-batch-processing-keeping-nest ed-folder-structure-intact/
Photoshop supports recording the actions and the facility to run that action for batch processing. But it also has a couple of limitations up to Photoshop cs6 as mentioned below –
Photoshop does not maintain the source, hereditary/nested folder structure for the output (destination) images. Save for web only saves all the files to the folder specified when you record the action.
In case of some file handling issues, Photoshop action throws an error & pauses/stops working, wherein we need to skip these errors manually.
I I tried to Google it to find answers and also tried couple of JavaScript solutions such as the – SFW Batch Processor, SFWCS4-5, Picture Processor etc., but unfortunately all of them didn’t work for me. Either it gave up or stopped working or even threw errors for PhotoshopCS6 and CS2.
Thanks to Russell Brown for providing new CS6 Extension script to resolve the ‘save for web’ batch processing issue like maintaining the images nesting folder structure.
Not sure if it does exactly what I need, but checking....
Best,
Scott

Problem trying to batch resize images from bridge.

I am trying to batch resize images from bridge. I am on windows 7 desktop and using CC, I select the images in bridge, tool bar>tools>photoshop>image processor. After doing this, photoshop CC opens but no images open.

open photoshop, open actions pallette, click new action (windows > actions (or Alt+f9)), click record, open your image, resize it, click stop action.
then use file> automate > batch
the action you just recorded will be ready to use, select the folder with all your photos (wise to work on a duplicated folder incase you mess up)
run the action. wait while photoshop opens and resizes the images one by one.
check in folder if the images resized how you expected.

Cannot resize images after CS5 and CC updates

I recently installed Photoshop CC and the CC app recently updated both my own CS6 and CC. I find that I now cannot resize images using the "image size" dialog. Any changes I try to make in dimension or resolution are ignored. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or does anyone have any info which will help me discover what I am doing wrong? Before, I simply entered the resolution and size I wanted for the image. Now I cannot .I have tried suggestion here: e.g., deleting pixels when cropping, etc., but nothing seems to work for me.

Thank you, Mylenium. Just curious... the CS5 update was done before I had
the CC app. Some CS6 updates were done before I joined the CC (the CS5 in
my problem subject-line was a type--should have been CS6), and one through
the cloud. CC, of course, was all updated through the cloud. Am I to
understand that CC would have done something to my owned, personal version
of CS5, which has the same problem?
Not an auspicious beginning with the cloud if complete
uninstalls/reinstalls are necessary right off the bat. I wonder how often
this type of problem will occur using the cloud, which obviously now
monitors my personal version of CS6, as well.

How do I batch resize images with different aspect ratios?

There will be a set of Landscapes that that have a narrower aspect ratio the 1960:1103 that would also need the top and bottom cropped like all Portraits would could be. You need to realize that center cropping Landscape image that have aspect ratios near 1960:1103 will usually produce acceptable compositions. However Cropping wide panoramas and portraits will only produce acceptable landscape 1960:1103 composition occasionally.
Here you will see what happens when image have aspect ratio the do not fit the desired aspect ratio. Where Landscape are forced to portrait and portrait forced to Landscape. Here are two Collage I populated with a mixture of image with different aspect ratios. One collage has all 3:2 Landscape places and the other 2:3 Portrait places.
I create a 1 image 1960x1103 collage 72dpi and create those too. Note the landscape boy foot is cropped off 3:2 is narrow compared to 1960:1103

Photopshop CS5 resizing images

Hi, I recently moved over from CS2 on windows to CS5 on Mac. I am a photographer and design my own wedding albums. My current issue is, that when I move images from one to another to create a montage, the images do not stay at their current size but instead automatically enlarged so that they fill the new canvas size (in fact they become greater than the canvas size). This means I have to re-size every picture back into its oirginal size within the canvas to create the montage (the monatge being - an album page with multiple wedding pictures of various sizes designed on it). I have tried changing numerous "property settings" within Photoshop, and particularly the "resize image during place" option, but not have been successful. This never happened in CS2 so am not sure if its a bug in CS5? Can anyone help as I have ran out of ideas how to solve this. Many thanks

The resolution of the images is important since an image dragged from one image into the montage image will take on the resolution of the image its dropped into (the montage image).
For example, if your image is 300 ppi and you drag it into your montage image that is set at only 100 ppi the image will be a lot larger than you expected.
Also the pixel dimensions can be important regardless of the resolution. Something 2000x2000 pixels dragged into an image that is only 1500x1500 pixels will be larger than the canvas size even if the resolution is the same.

Resizing Images in InDesign CS5

Hi,
I jumped from CS3 to CS5. In CS5, when I resize images they enlarge or decrease from the center and no longer resize from where my curser pulls from. Is there a setting that I can change for the image to resize from my curser and not the middle of the image?
Lindsey

I'm goint to presume you mean you are grabbing a sizing handle and dragging. Behavior has not changed. The point opposite the one you grab should remain fixed and all others should be moving in or out (if you're holding the shift key) depending on which direction you drag. In this case the proxy doesn't affect things. Are you seeing something different, or doing something different?

Resizing images

I am using Photoshop CS (older version).
I am having a problem with resizing images. Prior to sending this, everything was working okay and now nothing will resize. my file path was file menu > automate > batch > and then I would choose my source and destination for the resized images. In the end, all the newly resized images would stay the same size as before. Can someone please help me with this???

Neil,
Have you selected the "resizing" action in the Batch dialog?

Resize for the web in cs5

Having problems resizing images for a website template. Images must be 1275x650. I'm in Cs5. Is there some trick to cropping the image to fit the size without distorting the image.

You may be confusing the Image Size dialog with the Crop Tool. Select the crop tool and, in the tool bar, type in the pixel values of your desired image (example: 1275 px, 650 px). Crop and Save for Web and Devices (under the File menu).

AppleScript to resize images and save with new name

I want to make an apple script, which resizes all images of a folder regardless what kind of filetype.
The source folder will change every day.
With the script i want to choose a source Folder, resize all images and save the files with my jpeg options in the same folder, but with adding „_ipad“ in the filename.
I tried to edit an existing script from this forum, but in Photoshop 5.1 i get the error-message "This function is possibly not available in this Version" in line 18 "save in file newFileName as JPEG with options myOptions"
How can i save the documents with new name in the existing folder?
Thanks.
This is the script i’m working with:
set inputFolder to choose folder with prompt "Wähle einen Ordner:"
--set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Wähle einen Zielordner" as string
tell application "Finder"
          set filesList to (files of entire contents of inputFolder) as alias list
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1"
          set UserPrefs to properties of settings
          set ruler units of settings to pixel units
          repeat with aFile in filesList
open aFile showing dialogs never
                    set docRef to the current document
                    tell docRef
                              set newFileName to my getBaseName(name)
--resize image height 240 resolution 72 resample method bicubic sharper
change mode to RGB
resize image resolution 72
                              set myOptions to {class:JPEG save options, embed color profile:true, quality:12, format options:progressive, scans:3}
save in file newFileName as JPEG with options myOptions
                    end tell
close the current document saving no
          end repeat
          set ruler units of settings to ruler units of UserPrefs
end tell
on getBaseName(fName)
          set baseName to fName
          repeat with idx from 1 to (length of fName)
                    if (item idx of fName = ".") then
                              set baseName to (items 1 thru (idx - 1) of fName) as string
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
          return baseName
end getBaseName

This seems like a Photoshop error not an AppleScript one. Have you looked in the Photoshop dictionary to see if the command you are getting the error on exists and if it has those options?
If all you want to do is resize image files and save the resized image file you might want to look at Automator. Specifically the Scale Image action under Photos.

Looking for script to auto resize images

I have a commerce site and we have 3 sizes of images thumb
nail, standard
and fullsize. Ideally I'd like to maintain just one image
folder so I don't
have to keep synching and batch resizing.
I'm looking for a script that would resample/resize images on
the fly so I
only have to maintain one directory. Does anyone know of such
a script? It
doesn't have to be free.
Thanks

What language? With PHP for example it's quite easy using the
GD
functions.
Another way would be to use an external software. I prefer
Paint Shop
Pro for all image-related stuff. Things like creation of
thumbnails in
different sizes can easily be automated by using its own
scripting
language (based on Python).

Resize image code doesn't work for some JPGs

Hi. I'm using the below code to resize images and store them on the server. However, with some JPGs, the resize produces a reddish tint on the image. Any ideas what could be causing this? Here's the original image: http://www.unctv.org/tWxkBbq_10M6wKRRL/PNCWWD01.jpg and here's what it produces afterward: http://www.unctv.org/tWxkBbq_10M6wKRRL/PABDFC01__1289231445291.jpg
Photoshop CS5 is used to produce the JPG input for this app. Thanks.

I don't know anything about the jpeg encoders, but I do see code that doesn't make any sense to me:
Image resizedImage = null;
int iWidth = image.getWidth(null);
int iHeight = image.getHeight(null);
// This code ensures that all the pixels in the image are loaded.
Image temp = new ImageIcon(resizedImage).getImage();What is the point of creating an ImageIcon from a null image?
int newWidth = (int)this.targetWidth;I don't see where you actually use this variable, so how does the image get resized?
For more help create a [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE, that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour and maybe someone will take a look at it.

Does Photoshop CS6 autosharpen resized images?

Hi all,
I've been using Photoshop for my Photography for quite a long time and I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6. Whenever I resize my images in CS6, I get the feel (from looking at the images) that the application has autosharpened my images! I am quite sure about that effect because my resizing principles have remained the same since using CS5. And in CS5, whenever I resized to that same size I am resizing in CS6, I used to run the Unsharp Mask Filter to get my images look at their best! So there must be something going under the hood in CS6, or am I missing something obvious? Basically, I want to be in total control as to how much sharpness I want to apply to my resized images!!
regards,
Ali

In fact Adobe added the new interpolation method Bicubic Automatic new in CS6 and Adobe change Adobe's default Photoshop's Interpolation preference setting to the new method. However Adobe did not do a good job adding the new feature. If you leave Photoshop Preference set to Bicubic Automatic you may run into problems if you use scripts that transform things. For if the script tries to retrieve, change and restore your Photoshop Interpolation method Photoshop will wind up with an internal error. There are many bugs in CS6 this is one Adobe has not address yet.
Bicubic Sharper may work well on large un-sharpened soft images. It does not work well on images that have been sharpened.
Adobe scripts like the Fit Image Plug-in always uses Bicubic interpolation. Layer Transforms prior to CS6 always used Photoshop Preference Interpolation method. That is why the script I write retrieve this setting change it to Bicubic , transform then restore the Preference. CS6 now let the user set the interpolation method for some forms of layer transforms not all.

"process mutiple files" freezes computer when resizing images.PSE3

This function has always worked perfectly for me for years. It started about 2 weeks ago and I have no clue why it is doing this.
Whenever I try to resize a folder containing mutiple or even single images, it freezes the program and computer until I restart everything.
More specifics;
files are being downsized not upsized.
the original image loads into the program, then as it is being resized, it freezes up at the same point each time. This is when the "progress bar" (not sure of exact name) at the bottom of the page shows about 25% progress.
I have cleaned up the hard drive and done a file reorganization.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program.
I can resize images directly through the image/resize function one at a time. The problem is that I frequently have to resize large batches of images.
Thanks for any help.
Dave

Dave
This has caught other people. Check you Resize Image box to see if some strange value has been entered. One user had accidentally entered 4 pixels instead of 4 inches so all his pictures came out really small. I wonder if you have the opposite problem and are resaving to some extremely large size that Elements does not like.
If not post back.
Additional question-are you having problems with the same set of pictures? If so, could you run a test on a second set of pictures. Perhaps there is something strange in the source files.
