Photoshop: batch resizing for web

Photoshop: batch resizing for web

"I would like to take a group of 65K images and downsample it so that it is around 10K.
Can someone tell me what I need to know to do this? I am not as concerned right now about each file being the same filesize, but if anyone has recommendations for that I am all ears. It seems like color profile settings get in the way of uniformity."

"I haven't done any batch processing in Photoshop in a while, so I can't comment. What I want to share is that if for some reason you aren't able to do what you need via batch processing, Photoshop can also be scripted via AppleScript, VBScript, and Javascript.

Here's an article about Photoshop scripting. Here's Adobe's current documentation. If you need older docs, you'll need to google for them."

I know this isn't helpful (Why are you writing the answer then ?), but such things weren't, for a fact, available in older verions of photoshop (around 4). I don't know about the newer ones, but I usually gave up on photoshop, and started using Imagemagick tools for anything remotely similar. Install them once, you won't be using them too often, but every once in a while, something like this will pop up, and then, they'll be a lifesaver.
