Batch resizing - how does it work?

[VB.NET]

I have about 100 images. They all have the same width and height, and I need to resize each to a fixed width and height (let's say 200 pixels by 200 pixels). Can I resize all 100 images with a general setting? I've been told this is possible in Photoshop, but it doesn't seem to be part of the "actions" defined. Please help.

Well you have to create the action... Then under File is automate then batch.

Basicly tell it to run the action on the source folder then have the batch save the files in another new folder/ desination folder.

The action is easy open your example file resize the image then save the action.

It may take you some trial and error but it's much faster than doing all 100 images by hand.

I had this task done before. On the advise of our friends here I used the program called IfranView. Takes about 20 seconds to do a batch conversion.

It was perfect for me.

Hey Daria. Thanks for the link. I did this in Photoshop a few days ago, and it was a pain because the task consumed about 300 MB of temporary SWAP file space, and I had to stop several times because I didn't have enough space.
