I'm not sure if this is fully acurate but you can figure it out.

I use photoshop seven.

 

Open up all the files you want to resize or whatever

 

Window - actions

down at the bottom of the actions window - new action and record.

resize the image and whatever else you want to do later to all the files.

Stop recording

Then go into File - Automate batch and have it do whichever Action set you just recorded.

 

Not sure if that is the best tutorial since I just figured it out myself.

Yeah, Photoshop has some craziness hidden in the batch automator. You just record whatever it is you do to an image (crop/resize/filter/make it blue/put a border around it/anything goes) and then go ahead and apply the same process to all the currently opened files or a folder of files. Takes a few minutes to set it up correctly, but it's worth it.

in photoshop i use a two step process:

open an image

in the actions palette-create new action

do what you need to do-in this case resize(you can do anything like auto color,flatten,etc)

save image

close image

STOP RECORDING action

 

step 2

file>automate>batch(or maybe its file>batch>automate)

pick source folder

pick destination folder(i usually make a second folder inside the source folder for the new resized images, i methodically save images when i add or do something to them)

doner!?

 

i'm not at my computer right now but this is the best i can remember.
