How do I batch resize 5,000 photos via PS CS4 Extended?

Apr 13, 2012 11:51 AM

I have 5,000 photos that I took with my Go Pro camera in hopes to make a timelapse movie in Premiere. These photos come out of the camera roughly 1900x1200, and I'm interested in resizing all of them. I know that there are ways to do batch resizing, but after searching the web for hours I cannot find a tutorial that is much if any help in this matter. Help? Clearly resizing each photo would take WAY too much time, especially when discussing 5,000 photos.

I would use Bridge select you photos and then clck on Tools/Image Processor.

There you can set the size you want.

Would suggest you try it with a few before you go whole hog.

I didn't think about that. I tried a smaller version of the batch and it worked great, so now I've started the whole shebang... It's taking roughly 4 seconds per photo in the batch, so Im' estimating that I'll be able to start my editing in another 5 3/4hrs or so...

For that many photos I use FastStone PhotoResizer (free)
