I've taken a large quantity of digital photos during the rare snow we had this year. Am new at digital and unfortunately I took at too great of a resolution for what I want to do with them.

I am making GIF backgrounds for PPT, and some grouping will have as many as sixty pics in them. But the file sizes are HUGE (my goof) and GIF animators can't handle them.

Is there any way to compress batches of photos all at once? (Can't find that on the Batch command unfortunately) Resizing them one by one is laborious, even using hotkeys. Time is an issue.

Thanks

Windows/Actions (or simply Alt+F9).

Click on "Create new action".
Name it to resize or something like that, then click "Record".

Now do all that you wanted to do (resize, borders, effects etc.).
After that click "Stop" on the actions window.

File/Automate/Batch
From there choose your action, select your source and destination folder, click OK.
