Crop & resize multiple images in PS ?

[Laurey]

Anyone now of a method to Crop and then resize multiple (20-30 images) at once? They all need to be cropped at the exact same spot and then resized. I was going to make a cut layer filled w/an off color to denote my crop area, and paste that layer into each so they are same crop - then resize, but there must be a more automated method - any know it?

That will work keyplyr. Laurey: Record a set of actions (windows> actions). Open one of your images. On actions pallete> create new set. Name it Crop. On actions pallete> create new action. Name it First> record. You'll see the red record button is on. Crop the area you need (best if you can do it without zooming.. or return to % after selected area)> Edit> Copy> File> New> Ok (leave filename Untitled-1)> Paste. Resize your new image. Now you can add File> Save actions as you wish. On actions pallete> stop.

Leaving the filenames and windows open Photoshop will name then Untitled-1 Untitled-2 Untitled-3 etc when you batch them. You can delete and inset actions after clicking stop. Put all your images in one folder and create a destination folder. Goto File> Automate> Batch> select your folders and let em rip. When done File> Close all.
