Resizing files

[Erin Webber]

Hi damien, i am submitting about 30 photos to a blog and i have to submit them in 72 dpi and a width of 900 pixels. Is there a way to batch do this in Bridge?? Many thanks

There sure is.  Do you need to watermark them too?

Just to clarify, the 72dpi part is completely meaningless, you don't have to worry about that.  Only the dimensions matter.

ok great, no watermarks, the 72dpi is just for emailing them correct?

I believe that I've figured out the most of it through image processor and resize the width to 900 but what do i use for the height?

The height will figure itself out and adjust automatically to maintain the aspect ratio of the image.

No, ppi is not relevant at all when the images will only be viewed on the computer. All that matters are the pixel dimensions. PPI/DPI comes into play when you are resizing for print only.

Image Processor makes a "box" for your images to fit in. If you set it to 900x900, for example, it would make all the landscape images 900 wide, and all the portrait ones 900 high.

ah ok, they want 900 for both so i will set it to both, thank you

So i did the resize and now they have disappeared off my bridge screen, the original is there but i do not see the new size, is there just a long lag or something

I found them, it put them in a jpeg subfolder  thanks again

Yep, that's what makes Image Processor completely foolproof.  It is literally impossible for it to ever accidentally save over original files.
