resizing pix for tv -process multiple files

[Elizabeth Haines]

two questions about resizing pix for tv. In the dialog box for file>process multiple files

1. should I check constrain prop or enter 1000 by 750?
2. in convert to file type, can I specify PSD if the original format for saved pix is psd and I plan to create a slide show in photoshp and export to premiere?

A good workflow Elizabeth!

I think you want to check the Constrain Proportions box and then specify the final format as PSD, right Steve?

[Steve Grisetti]

Oh yeah. Sorry. Didn't realize it was a multiple choice quiz.

Yes, you do want to constrain proportions. Otherwise, the process will force your photos to 1000x750, even if it squeezes them out of shape.

So yes, constrain proportions, and just set the 750 height. (That way even your photos that are taller than wide will be sized perfectly.)

As for the PSD format, that's certainly as good as any. JPEGs can be a fraction of the size though, and the format works just fine for photos.

Thanks. Actually, in my first test project, I checked constraints and just entered 1000 for the width, and worked with jpegs from scanning to importing to the slide shows, and everything worked out just great.

and everything worked out just great.

Glad to hear it
