How do you convert multiple pics from TIFF to JPEG in Photoshop 7?

Jeff Martin , Feb 03, 2007; 10:29 p.m.

I'm new to photoshop 7 and I'm also a dummy. But I can't figure out how to convert multiple images from a large TIff file to a small JPEG file so I can e- mail them. It's really easy to do in the Canon Software that I use to convert from RAW to TIFF, but I can't figure it out in photoshop. I can duplicate one image and save it as a small JPEG, but how do you do more than one? What is the best size for e-mailing? 600 X 400? What else should I know about this? HELP!

Create an action by opening a copy of one typical image, then open 'actions' window (Alt+F9), go to bottom and click 'create new action' - beside garbage can, name it whatever you want, then go through the exact sequence of steps you need recorded, including save, the go back to 'actions' window and click 'stop recording action' - far left of garbage can.

Now go to File, Automate, Batch - the action you just recorded should be there and simply select the folder you want the action applied to and where you want it saved to. You should never save a new file on top of itself until you are sure. Done

ACDSee? Irfanview?

upgrade to CS2 and use the IMAGE PROCESSOR

Exactly what Doug said, make an action then batch.

Maybe easier to copy them into a folder and then use File > Scripts > Image processor
