Batch resizing, CS2

[Alter_ego]

I have a few hundred wedding pics that I want to convert to 6x4 jpegs @ 300ppi. Unfortunately, when I processed and cropped the pics I didn't set the resolution, so now I have several hundred pics in landscape and portrait at various ppi settings.
What I need now is a method of batch resizing which will give me 6x4 jpegs @ 300ppi.
I DO know how to do this if all the pics are the same orientation, but is there a way to do it when the pics are mixed up.
The purpose of this is to put the pics on a CD in such a way that the client can reprint the pics herself straight from the CD in the future without having to use any software.

Allan try this link its one i use and it works a treat, Download BD Sizer 2.5.0 - Enables you to resize images based on user defined dimension or a specific target size - Softpedia

Dont matter what orientation you have as it will do it all for you at any file size
Also i think ifranview does the same
IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide
Both are free downloads

Thanks Martin. Have a Karma.

You can also use Bridge to do this. Select all the images, go to Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor and fill in the details you need. You can batch resize and save to JPG, TIF, and/or PSD.

Russel Brown's 1-2-3 Processor has even more options that the Image Processor script (he wrote that one too). The Russell Brown Show.

John, thank you very much for that information. I just upgraded to CS3 on my Mac G5. I followed your instructions, and they worked like a charm. Like many people, I get in a rut. I learn to do things a certain way, and I stick to it, no matter how inconvenient it might be. Thanks for making my life a little easier tonight!

I didn't realize you could do it straight out of bridge. I always create an action to do the conversion and then from bridge do a batch to that action. Usually I am going from Tiff or psd to jpg. I can do that also it sounds like??

Some scripts don't work strait out of Bridge, so you have to create an action that runs the script, and batch that. Thankfully the Image Processor and 1-2-3 Process aren't one of the problem children.
