Have you ever noticed that digi cameras take pics at a different ratio to that of the prints, 6x4, 5x7 etc. So you always get a bit cropped. I thought I'd take matters into my own hands and using photoshop automated thing I spent 3 whole days resizing them all and auto colour correcting etc. What I'm after is a tool, desktop or web, that you can say 'here's a stack of photos, fit them all into 6x4 inches and make them 300dpi, then save them for me'.Or, for blogs etc say' here's some more pics and I want them 72dpi 450px wide, and save them damn it'. There's one called image resizer that's ok but doesn't do the 6x4 thing - it's all in pixels and I don't have a clue about that! Do you know of any decent things that will do this?

that can easily be done in Photoshop using the batch function

umm yes its called saving an action and batch processing in photoshop.

You can run Actions as a batch in photoshop. They can be quite powerful and do what you're trying to do. Only thing you'd have to probably do is sort your photos into landscape and portrait and do them differently.

yeah, thats kind of what I've been doing...but because I'm far from computer minded, I have been having to save each image individually, setting the quality etc etc. Is there a way of over riding that bit and just have it save over the original?

I used PS for this for a while, but found that it was a LOT more convenient to use Irfanview's batch processing settings. Resize various images to percents or hard-coded sizes. Smart to figure out picture orientation. It's a small, FREE application that I can't live without.

Irfanview is pretty cool.
I use JavaScript and the Scripting plug-in for Photoshop for most batch stuff. It's kick butt for content generation as well.
