making a bunch of photos 4x6 all at once

[bjc]

i have a bunch of photos i want to make 4 x 6 ...i know there must be a way to do them all at once... is there??? any ideas???

I'm not sure about PS, but I have PSP, and although I can't do a bunch at once, what I CAN do is open them all, then set my crop tool for 4x6, and just go through each picture and apply the crop to them. It's actually pretty quick. Just don't forget to Save As new or you'll have to do it all over again.

If you want the actual photo to be RE-SIZED, I'd do the same thing - open them all up, then, after applying the resize to the first photo, use whatever keyboard shortcut PS uses (PSP's is ctrl+y) on the remaining ones.

HTH!

PSE will print multiples and automatically crop them to 4x6 but I haven't seen any way to batch crop them to 4x6.

i have photoshop cs 2 not elements and should've said that in my question....looking for figure out how to crop a whole bunch of different photos all to same size without doing each one at a time..thanks for any help

You know, the problem is, unless your focus of each photo is in the same place, cropping them all to 4x6 may not give you the results you want. If the originals don't have the same aspect ratio of a 4x6, what gets cropped could be something you don't want cropped. It is really better do do them one at a time. I don't know if cs 2 has Process Multiple Files (but PSE does). But, I know in PSE you can use Process Multiple Files to RESIZE (not crop) the pictures.

Bjc you might want to try asking the photoshop guys at photoshoptv.com is you can't get an answer here. I'm sure they showed some sort of batching fairly recently.
