ACTIONS...
- You can try using the Actions Window in Photoshop to record what you do.
- After recording any image size changes, you can replay them...
- Then you can go to: File, Automate, Batch...
- You can apply these actions to a folder filled with images files
- And, save yourself hours of time, by not having to reopen, resize, rename, and re-save all your images

// JavaScript Tutorial

VISIONARY ART:

// Slide Show #1

var slideimages = new Array() // create new array to preload images
slideimages[0] = new Image() // create new instance of image object
slideimages[0].src = "1.jpg" // set image src property to image path, preloading image in the process
slideimages[1] = new Image()
slideimages[1].src = "2.jpg"
slideimages[2] = new Image()
slideimages[2].src = "3.jpg"
slideimages[3] = new Image()
slideimages[3].src = "4.jpg"

</script>

//Image Src:
<img src="1.jpg" width="500" height="500" id="slide">

//AND more JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
// put this javaScript after your image src.
//variable that will increment through the images
var step=0
function slideit(){
//if browser does not support the image object, exit.
if (!document.images)
return
document.getElementById('slide').src = slideimages[step].src
if (step<3)
step++
else
step=0
//call function "slideit()" every 2.5 seconds
setTimeout("slideit()",2500)
}
slideit()
</script>
