Here's the part where you get to line up a group of images and resize all of them at once. Start by creating two folders on your desktop. Name one "Originals" and name the other "Resized." Put all of the images you want to batch resize into the "Originals" folder. Then, Step-1: Go to File > Automate > Batch to bring up the Batch dialog. Step-2: Find the "Resize Image" action that you just recorded in the Actions drop-down list in the play box. Step-3: In the source box, Select "Folder" in the drop-down list and click Choose and browse to the "Original" folder you just created on your desktop. Step-4: Check the boxes to suppress warnings and options dialogs. Step-5: In the Destination box, Select "Folder" in the drop-down list and click Choose and browse to the "Resized" folder you just created on your desktop. Step-6: Make sure photos will be viewable to all by checking all of the "Compatibility" boxes. Step-7: Every time click OK, Photoshop will save that image and automatically move on to the next. Photoshop will now open each photo in the "Original" folder, resize it, and save it to the "Resized" folder.
