Resize batch in mm for print

[middlearthimages]

Hi,

In cs4 I want to make ten images smaller so I can place on a new layer. The size I want is 20mm at its widest.

I know I can do this as a single photo but when I try the batch process it only gives you pixels size.

Regards,

john

Work it out based on the resolution of your image.

If you are using 300dpi, that is 11.81 (300/25.4) pixels per mm. For 20mm you need approx 236 pixels.

Do do it in a batch, you could select in Bridge, then use Tools>Photoshop>Image Resize and set the max width & height. Tell it what output you want and where and PS will run the job in no time. (copies of images in a new folder - originals untouched)

I use this for resizing shots for AV's or Camera Club competition entries.

Irfan View - http://www.irfanview.net/ - will do this and more. Its got a very powerful batch renamer / resizer etc function. And its free.
