Batch Resizing issues with Image Processor
I am trying to use PS CS2 to batch resize my photos but cant get the image processor to work. I select the folder where my images are at, click the option to resize them to be a specific size, and hit run but it gives me an error: "Error: No such element 1271". If i can do this in Bridge and add metadata, that would be a bonus. I can use FW to batch resize them as i can set that up in a minute but i would rather use PS to resize my pics as i think it does a better job than FW! :)
And can metadata be edited by someone other than me? Say if i add metadata with myself as the owner of the image, can someone later change it to them?

I could, I was just wanting to know what i was doing wrong with the image processor. I suppose an action may be a bit better though ya?
CS1 doesn't have "Image processor" and that's what I have :(
ASKER
so how can i apply an action to a bunch of images?...

ALNMOO,
Image Processor is a Russell Brown script first seen for Photoshop CS. Adobe then bundled it in CS2. You can download Image Processor 2.3 from http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html.
Just make sure you get the version for CS rather than CS2 as they aren't cross compatible.

in response to second post, i have cs2 so ill get that version. ;)
I followed your steps above but it is renaming them all, adding a 1 in front of their name.
ex: img_2034 is renamed to 1img_2034...
i dont like that.... and dont know why its doing that...

scratch that, it worked like a charm. some of my images were named funny... :$
it did put them into a /jpgs folder but easy enough to move.
dont know what i was doing wrong. I believe i was running image processor from inside PS...
thanks!

Glad to help! Thanks for the grade and points!
It always does create a JPEG folder and PSD folder, etc so you don't accidentally overwrite your originals, I guess.

thats what i was thinking as i believe that you can make a change to all 3 formats at once...
Why don't you create your own "Action" of resizing and apply it.
