Photoshop question
i know i should hit the tutorials but i'm waiting on 60 3D images to render lol and can't really open PS right now is there a way to mass crop a set of PNG movie images with photoshop? the view window in poser will only reduce so far so i have a fair bit of wasted area to get rid off since i formatted i junked PSP because the one i had was version 7 where as the new one is now part of Corel and is aweful, version 7 had animation shop but that srewed png's up anyway :roll: sorry if its a dumb question but i'm new to PS

yes there is Sir. http://www.multipleimageresizer.net/ Need net frame work.

I'm not familiar with that solution, but I'd say the easiest thing to do would be a create an automated task right within Photoshop. Have you ever used the PS "Actions" panel? It's sort of a power-user feature that I know I didn't use for years. Still have infrequent need for it, but boy is it handy for stuff like this. Basically, open up the actions panel, create a new action, then click the "record" button (the controls are kind of like a VCR). Open, process, and close one image, then stop recording actions. Review the action steps it captured. You should be able to customize the "open from" and "save to" directories. Then, run the action on a folder. It batch processes the contents of a directory in the same way you handled that one image.

cheers guys, i'll have a go PS is an awesome tool, i wish i'd took the time earlier to use it, but like everything its easier to stick with what you know

Yep, but 53.2 million creative professionals can't be wrong right? (and yes, I did pull that number completely out of the air)

that actions thing sounds useful greg, id never heard of it before. Does anyone know of a more detailed tutorial on it?

I know I'm turning geek now. Even though I don't use PS that much (Fireworks is fine), my first thought was, "that's a sexy tip". :oops:

I just found a thousand-foot overview of actions at: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/digitalphotography/l/blps_batch.htm It doesn't get very in-depth, but it at least introduces the interface and explains the general use of the panel.

thanks Greg, mission successful :D it also means i can do the ghost effect in on easy step http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/tutorial/tutorial/-/?id=1474 it wasn't such a dumb question after all :lol: edit Jeeezuss i feel like i've got a new toy :lol: 60 frame ghostie effect in 20 seconds :D
