    Batch Resizing???

    I thought this would be a very simple question: How do I re-size several pics at once?
    I've received a disk full of high-res photos, and want to make them all web-able (I'm going for around 800x???, matching aspect ratio).
    I've tried to look up how to do, "Script," "Macro," "Batch," "Record," "Resize" and none of the hits in Help show me what I want.
    Any suggestions?
    Oh... I should say that I'm using Photo-Paint X3, Version 13.0.0.739
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much, Jeff.

    The link appears to be a pay only tutorial (if I was looking at it properly).

    I don't feel that this kind of info is something one should have to pay for.  It SHOULD have been in the Help of X3.  It's a basic feature, as far as I know, nothing "advanced," so I'm stuck wishing Corel was more helpful with their feature set.

    I understand that when someone makes a tutorial, they should be compensated for that work, but in this case, it's not for me.

    I do appreciate your sending the link, though.

    Mjroddy,

    I do not work for Corel and thus I have no control over what they do or
    don't supply in their help files.

    You asked for information and you are certainly not the only one to ask how
    to do this. My job is to help people get more out of the software they have.
    I also enjoy having food on my table every day. So yes, I charge for some of
    the tutorials I write including this one as this is my job. Not only does it
    tell you how to do it, it gives you scripts to use with batch process that
    do EXACTLY what you want. I'm sorry you don't feel that something that will
    save you hours of work isn't worth $7.

    I CERTAINLY meant no offense.  I tried to be pretty clear that I thought you deserved money for your efforts.

    Keep on keeping on, mate.  I'm sure your services are well worth it and I genuinely hope you have many, many folk who purchase the tute.  Your giving the scripts along with the material is a definite bonus.

    Me, I'm used to forums where you ask a question and you get a half-dozen ways to accomplish the desired results.  I was hoping for similar results here.

    Again, I appreciate your efforts and hope you have many sales.  Time is money - or it should be in many cases. May it be so in yours.

    After a good deal of Googling, I finally answered my own question.  For anyone else interested try here:

    This, however, does NOT include the cool macros and scripts of the previously mentioned tutorial.
