Preparing photographs for your Blog/Website by using Batch Processing in Adobe Photoshop Elements for resizing, renaming and exporting into new file-type
We can also do batch processing in organizer for exporting low resolution files for my blog or website. I prefer this method when I don't need watermarks, because this mechanism does not support adding Watermarks.
Lets come to the point and discuss how to do this. I will proceed with the workflow I prefer.
1. SELECT YOUR FILES AND OPEN EXPORT DIALOG
Normally I organize my similar or relevant photographs through Albums in PSE Organizer. I select my Album and it shows all the files in Organizer Image-well. Press CTRL+A to select all the files in album which I want to export. After Selection, Go to File > Export to New File(s). It will the dialog shown below:
2. SELECT FILE-TYPE YOU WANT
In first section of this dialog, select the file format you want to export. There are five options :
1. Use Original Format
2. JPEG
3. PNG
4. TIFF
5. PSD
In my case, I use JEPG normally... Its your choice what you need...
3. SELECT RESOLUTION AND QUALITY
Next step is to select appropriate resolution. I prefer 640*480 for my blog and its your choice but its preferred to use file-size less than 1024*768....
Quality is only applicable for JPEG files and we will talk more on Quality parameter on this blog...
4. SELECT THE LOCATION WHERE YOU WANT TO EXPORT
Next step is to select the location where you want to export the selected files. It gives you option to launch Windows Explorer to locate the folder or create a folder.
5 GIVE APPROPRIATE NAME TO YOUR FILES
Last step is to give appropriate names to your files and click on Export to get renamed, resized files in desired format...
