Resizing Multiple Images

You can resize a group of images by specifying their dimensions in pixels, specifying a percentage of their original size, or by constraining them to a physical print size.

The resize operation cannot be reversed once implemented.

To resize multiple images:

In Manage mode, select one or more images.
Click the Batch button and select Resize.
From the Resize pop-up menu, select one of the following options:
- by Percentage: Resizes the images to a percentage of their original size.
- by Size in Pixels: Resizes the images to a specific size in pixels.
- by Actual or Print Size: Resizes the images to specific printed dimensions.
Do one of the following:

Click Save Preset to save your actions as a preset for future use. Enter a name for your preset and click Save. Next time you click the Batch button you will see this saved preset listed as an option.
Click Run Batch to resize your files.
