How to resize multiple pictures in photoshop
Image Processor
Generally when you take photos with your digital camera, you want the images to be as large as possible, allowing you best results when pictures are edited for print media.
However if you have images for a website, Flickr, facebook etc, large file sizes will take longer to load if allowed at all, so you may need to resize a batch of pictures.
Step 1
Create a second folder in the folder where your original images are. Call it small pics.
Step 2
Open photoshop, Go to file – Scripts – Image processor
Check out the screen shot, just fill out as required
(Note: it might be worth doing a single manual resize to get the correct dimensions for your batch job)
Step 3
So choose folder where you have your images, and folder where the resized ones should go
Step 4
Hit run, go and check your resized pics.

Centering text on the canvas in photoshop
Photoshop tip
Centering text on the canvas in photoshop
It’s been bugging me for a while, getting used to what where familiar functions in corel photopaint.
For eg. Right click on text, a drop down box appears: Arrange – Align and distribute – to center of document.
Easy when you know.
But what about photoshop:
I found the answer here, also easy when you know, but alas I didn’t find it until I googled.
Select the text layer and the background layer in the Layers panel,
Click the text layer as shown below, and whilst holding ctrl select the background layer.
You will see a marquee around the entire canvas.
and then pick the Align Center button on the Options bar.
That’s It :0)

Well today I went to see this film, expectations high, although I must admit I still haven’t watched Titanic, so disregard any director faith input.
Friends love the film. Amazing.. Fantastic etc.
I did enjoy the 3d aspect, very nice, particularly the cognac ad that preceded the feature.
And all is going well into the first half hour, Character introductions, building the premise, allowing the mind to soar with wild and unimaginable expectations..
But what the hell.
The Matrix meets Dances with wolves, chuck in a little Brave heart spirit and we are done.
There are no twists, or unexpected eventualities, the plot proceeded into the full hour disregarding any humour that engaged you initially, You like a child, a baby… ‘I paraphrase’, but for FFS, Gaia, James Lovelock eat out your neural connections and root your arse to the ground and shimmy.
The idea was delightful, too many explosions for my taste, and the moral implications apparent and obvious.
I did, squinting eyes exit the cinematic arena feeling slightly sad that I could not live among the trees and connectivity of their planet, and couldn’t help but bring a smile to my face for the inhabitants of Pandora.
