Am doing a shoot in a nightclub in the near future. Pictures are for web use only and have to have the promoters watermark applied. Therefore, I am trying to do some of the work as an automated action.
I have got the watermark bit done but would like to apply some sort of noise reduction as the majority of shots will be high ISO. I have never used photoshop for noise reduction so would welcome advice.
Secondly, as part of the action I will resize for web. I was going to have two different actions, one for portrait shots and one for landscape but is there any way to automate this and resize LONGEST side to 900 pixels ?

Many thanks
 
Yes it's under file automate fit image.
Are you shooting raw or jpeg? IMHO the raw noise reduction is better, although personally I prefere noiseware pro.

Thanks for reply.
I normally shoot raw + jpeg but for this shoot I had been planning just to shoot jpeg. I am hoping to be doing just a crop and quick levels tweak (maximum) on each pic before batching the action for the resize, watermark, noise and a quick sharpen. We will be providing 100+ images from this shoot so am trying to keep processing to a minimum and automate as much as possible. As shoot is in nightclub, reckoned most shots will be 1200+ ISO, therefore probably a bit noisy in the background. Dont know if it will really distract from the shots as most background will just be blurred lighting etc enyway and images will be reduced to about 900 pixels on widest side.
I normally use external noise reduction but as I say want to automate. My other option is to whack up the in camera high ISO noise reduction but I have not tested it in this environment.
