Resizing Multiple Images

You can resize a group of images by specifying their dimensions in pixels, specifying a percentage of their original size, or by constraining them to a physical print size.

To Resize a Group of Images:

In Manage mode, select one or more images, and then click Tools | Batch | Resize.
In the Batch Resize Images dialog box, select one of the following options:
- Percentage of original: Resizes the images to a percentage of their original size.
- Size in pixels: Resizes the images to a specific size in pixels.
- Actual/Print size: Resizes the images to specific printed dimensions.
Set the options for your selection as explained in the table below.
Click Options to specify how you want to save and store the images.
When you are satisfied with your choices, click Start Resize.

You can also resize an image, and use alternate resampling filters, in Edit mode.
