File names

Using a template gives you control over the output file name. If you choose not use a template, the file name is unchanged. Duplicate files are given an underscore and number suffix.

Check the Use Template to rename files checkbox to create a renaming template. You can specify a numerical or alphabetical sequence for the new file names, and use the original file names, new names, or names based on image metadata.

Output size

Select this option to specify how to scale the images.

Use this option to determine the method used to resize (resample) the image:

• Bell: smoothes the image.
• Bicubic: produces good results with photo-realistic images and with images that are irregular or complex. Uses interpolation to minimize the raggedness normally associated with image expansion.
• Box: displays considerable tiling or jaggies (jagged edges) when you resize an image.
• B-spline: produces smooth transitions, but may cause excessive blurring.
• ClearIQZ: slower than Bicubic and Lanczos, but produces the best results when enlarging photos, especially those of people.
• Lanczos: produces the sharpest images, but may also introduce some ringing artifacts.
• Mitchell: produces smooth transitions when enlarging photo-realistic images. This filter is good compromise between the ringing effect of Lanczos and the blurring effect of other filters.
• Triangle: produces good results for image reduction and enlargement, but displays sharp transition lines.

Select this option to force the exported images to fit the set dimensions independent of landscape or portrait orientation. Enter the dimensions in pixels, inches, or centimeters

Select this option to resize the exported image to fit within the values entered in the two boxes.

Select this option to resize the image to the long edge only. Enter the dimensions in pixels, inches, or centimeters

Select this option to resize the image to the short edge only. Enter the dimensions in pixels, inches, or centimeters

Select this option to resize the image to a percentage of their original size. Enter the percentage dimensions in the Width and Height fields.

Enter a resolution to set the number of pixels per inch or centimeter.

Enlarge only resizes only those images that are smaller than the specified height and width.

Resizes only those images that are larger than the specified height and width.
