| how do i use PSP X to batch resize a number of pictures all at once and not
indivdually?
i want to resize them all to same size but small size and lower resolution
so i can use them in a word document

You probably don't mean what you said. You can't do anything all at
once. You can do it in sequence, though, and automatically without
human intervention.

Open one image. Use File > Script to record and save the step(s) you
want to perform on every image. Use File > Batch > Process to run the
recorded script against a list of files you specify. Isn't this
explained in the revolutionary Learning Center? One word of warning.
Please test this procedure first on some duplicate images you don't
mind losing just to get the hang of things since it is possible to
overwrite things if you aren't careful.

I should make it clear that the steps you need to record are whatever
transforms the image, in your case Image > Resize. You do *not*
include opening or saving the image as part of the script since this
is handled automatically by File > Batch > Process.

| Or you could open the thumbs_150 script in notepad and edit the dimensions.
Resave with a different name so that you don't overwrite the original. Be
sure you don't change the spaces and indentations in any way.

This is true but from his other post the original poster seemed to
want to avoid knowing about scripts as much as possible so I thought
opening one could be terrifying for him. You have to get into all
that stuff about white space being important to the interpretation
of Python, and that Python isn't a snake, etc., etc. :)

| You're probably right. He did sound a bit like one of the new target
customers.

| thanks for your help on this and yest i guess i am a sucker for some new
software but do have a definite need to upgrade my cheap and nasty
pushbottom stuff.
I dont know what the thumbs_150 script is or where to find it.??
In the end I found a script tutorial on the following site which i pulled to
gether using the first and second turtorials.
http://www.khiba.com/PSP/Spring03/52203.htm
yes this is nice software and for the money a good buy in the uk and yes
years ago i used to use the PSP free and then shareware and then my old
employers up to 1year ago used to buy adobe etc and but but now i work for
myself and needed to buy something that i considered appropriate.
i dont always want to just plonk in resized pictures which is what i had
been doing and do have the need to alter the content.
i cannot afford adopbe now but this (PSPX) in the right hands is very
comparable and much cheaper.
i now have a nice little script which also improves the quality of the
photos for my survey reports on building in the UK
I take generally 100 pictures a buildign and use a lot of phots in my
reports and like them to be visible.
Once again thanks for some help.

Thumbnail_150.PSPScript.
The script "Makes a thumbnail of the current file at a size of no larger
than 150x150, preserving the aspect ratio."
You can change the pixel dimensions from 150 to something that meets
your own needs.
You can use the Batch command to run this script on a folder of images
and generate a group of thumbnails if desired.
Script is located in your Programs folder in the sub folder called
"Scripts-Restricted" within the PSP8, PSP9 or PSPX folder in the Jasc or
Corel folder. so, for PSP9 it will be in
Programs->Jasc->PaintShopPro9->Scripts-Restricted
PSPX is similar: Programs-Corel->PSPX->Scripts-Restricted
After opening an image, You should be able to find the Thumbnail_150
script in the Script tool bar.
No script tool bar? View->Toolbars->make sure Script is selected.
The script should be available in the script pulldown menu on the toolbar.
If not, Make sure "Show all" is chosen.
Still nothing?
Sometimes PSP doesn't get all the file locations set .
File->Preferences->File Locations.
click on Scripts-Restricted in left hand window that appears.
Make sure that both the My documents and the programs file folders are
listed in the right side of the window. Add them if they are not.
You may need to restart PSP after this.
You should see the script listed in the Script dropdown now.

[snip]
It comes with Paint Shop Pro. For more about how to locate, select,
alter, and execute scripts, see Help > Contents > Automating Tasks >
