OK back on track. When you upload your pics to Flickr, you get your original size, then a large , medium or small size. But you don't get to choose what those sizes will be. If you want to upload to post here for example, it's best just to upload an 800 pixel image in the first place.

think i may start dooing that from now on then. oh well, i may even resize one by one.:eek:
 
1. Chuck out your Mac and get a PC.
2. Get Photoshop (or photoshop elements 7 if like me you are on a very tight buget)
3. File --> Process multiple files
4. Select source and destination folders
5. Tick resize images, enter a resolution and click ok.
6. Upload it all to flikr.

BINGO!

:)

Might be the best way - then you can choose what the eventual file size will be, batch resizing just gives you a few options - max quality down to min quality so you have no idea as to the final file size until you check in the destination folder (using any of the PSE versions from 2 - 7).

If you're doing just a few pics for uploading, a quick and dirty way to save a minute or two is to set the crop tool to crop to the required size. Then just crop the pic (you can crop the full frame if you want) to the required size. Save as then select the level that gives the file size you're after.
 
PSE batch process does give options for resolution in dpi as well as width/height in cm, and also quality and file type conversion settings. (but no indication of file size...)

If you want to see the file size, you can use the 'save for web' tool, but last time I checked you could only change the quality setting and not the resolution, which as I understand it is not what A.Gibson wants.

The only problem with Save for Web is that it strips the EXIF data.
 
i understand that you use cs3. have you looked into File>Automate>Batch. you can define your own actions and do any kind of repetitive task. Resizing multiple photos should be quite easy.
 
Yep, very easy, although I use PSE which does pretty much the same job.

As for pchidell's mac comments..... :razz: :bang:

Whats the process for resizing using CS4?

The few images that ive put up on flickr ive not bothered resizing, whats the point in resizing anyway?
 
I used to have an image resizer, it was a windows powertoy, its on this page the download is on the left.
It integrates with windows, gives an option on a rightclick drop down menu to resize jpg's, you could highlight one image or a thousand and it just got on and did it.
Don't think there were too many options on the output size but it was quick and easy.
Doesn't work any more on my machine, I dunno why.

You've got yourself mixed up - those are the benefits of Vista! ;):p

Edit: Sorry about the massively off topic post there! Just noticed this thread is 3 times as long as I thought...
