 * //Objectives: //**

 * Create a successful action

 * Demonstrate how to automatically resize images
 * [[image:http://in703.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/placeholder?w=200&h=118 width="200" height="118" align="left"]]Create two folders at a location on your computer which you will easily find and be able to recognize.


 * Call one folder orginals, and the other folder thumbnails.


 * Put the default.jpg image in the originals folder.

Go up to the top menu and go across to the right and select window. From the drop down select actions. **ALT + F9**
 * Open Adobe photoshop CS5

Now the actions tool bar will be visible on your screen. Drag it to your desired location. Hover over the icon on the bottom of the actions toolbar (2nd from the end that says create action and click on create action.

Fill in the desired name for the action. E.g fullsize image to thumbnail image. Leave the defaults and click create.

Your action will now be created and listed at the bottom of the list in the actions menu tool bar. To make your action perform tasks you will need to select your action on the list and click on the record action button on the bottom of the actions menu toolbar. Now that the action is being recorded it will mimic every action you do in photoshop until you stop recording your current action.

Go up to the file menu and click open. Browse to the folder you created earlier called originals, and find the default.jpg image that should be in the folder. Click on open to open the image inside photoshop.

Go up to the menu bar and click on image, and navigate the drop down and click on image size. (shortcut Alt+Ctrl+I )

You will now see the image size dialogue box on the screen. Select a width of 180px and make sure constraint image size is on and it will automate the width to suite the height of the image. You can choose alternative image sizes depending upon your usage for the thumbnail images. This size is what your original image will be saved as in a copy as the thumbnail image. Click ok to select your image thumbnail size. You will see a smaller version of your image on the canvas in photoshop. Now go up to the top menu and click file and browse down to save as or shortcut (shift+ctr+s) The save dialogue box will pop up. You need to save this image in the thumbnails folder you created earlier. Once you have the folder selected, click save to save the image in the folder.

Back into photoshop, navigate over to the actions panel and click on the stop recording button at the bottom of the panel. Your action is now created, you now need to run the action to actually use it. Now go to the top menu, select File à Automate à Batch.

Leave the set drop down box as default actions. Under the action drop down box, select the action you created (full size to thumbnail.) Under the source drop down box, select folder, and then click the choose button underneath.

Browse to your originals folder you created and click ok to select this folder.

Tick the “override action open commands”, “suppress file open options dialogs” and “suppress colour profile warnings” check boxes.

Now under the destination drop down box, select folder from the drop down. Click the choose button underneath and browse to the folder you created called thumbnails. Select the folder and click ok.

Make sure you tick the “override action “save as” commands or it won’t work properly. Leave all the other default setting s at the bottom. Click run or similar, and you will see photoshop opening your image and saving it as a thumbnail.

Check it has worked by opening your thumbnails folder on your computer and verifying that the image has been converted to the smaller thumbnail size.

You will now have the original image in your original folder, and a smaller thumbnail sized copy of it in your thumbnails folder.

We tried this with just one image and creating an automated thumbnail copy of it. You could have 1000’s of images in an original folder and do the same thing. You can run the action again, and it will do the same thing for 1000’s of images. This can be useful for a website photo gallery using lightbox or similar jQuery. Where you need a page of thumbnail images, which once clicked on expand to view the fullsize images. It saves heaps of time.
