Hello all,
I have a Holiday delima! My sister got my parents one of those Digital Photo Frames for Christmas. She needed my help in "pre-loading" the images she wants in it. I told her to make a folder and I would import them into the digi frame. She is loading it with pictures from her wedding.
Simple enough, right?

Here is the problem. It is a 512 meg frame. She just showed me a folder that is like 2 gigs! The reason is they are the raw wedding shots each at around 3 m3gs a piece. Is there a way to import the entire folder into photoshop and reduce the size and weight of all the images to one setting? She spent the entire night doing this and I just told her it was a no go.

I have photoshop elements 6.

Please help!!  :)

The only thing I can think of is going and saving each picture to be in .jpg and playing with this bar when you save:


I've tried to convet more than one at a time but I've found no way to do so...

Found it.
Thanks!

Photoshop has a batch processing function. If you want to do the same changes to all photos (change resolution, convert to jpg), you can use this instead of changing every photo one by one. It is very simple to use and explaned in the photoshop help menue.

Depending on the version of PS you have (most allow this) you can "export to web" under the file menu tab. The compression is fantastic and coupled with batch processing...takes about a minute.

I mention this incase the file is not a .jpg
Gif - bmp - tiff - and a few others are covered in this. Set the quality setting and calculate your size for all of them and it's very simple!!
