> ## Image resize scripts

> Other settings

> At any time you may click 'back' to change any settings that you require. You may of course click 'cancel' to finish using the batch process.

> On this page we're going to assume that you followed the tutorial successfully. We will give you a few more screenshots and settings for you to use. Lets start over but show you how to use different settings. Click 'Back' and you will come to the screen below.

> We no longer need to grayscale our images, so simply click to highlight, then click on 'Remove'. Click on 'Scale' and 'Rename' and alter the settings as required.

> Look at the screenshot above and below. These are the settings for the _main file.

> Now all you need to do is continue as before. Click on next, and if the 'Custom Location' doesn't point to the folder you require, simply click and browse to the correct location of your 'finished_files' folder.
> It should however already default to the folder you last used.
> Click on 'Batch' and off it goes again. Processing all the files as before, and saving them in your chosen location.

> You now have 2 sets of images in your 'finished_files folder. (We are using the file extension of .jpg as an example only').

> They should be,

> > yourimage_thumb.jpg - resized to 125x75px's, converted to greyscale and renamed with the suffix _thumb.

> > yourimage_main.jpg - resized to 350x200px's and renamed with the suffix _main.

> > Now go 'Back' and process the other images.

> You will need,

> > yourimage_over.jpg - resized to 125x75px's and renamed with the suffix _over. (Remember your sets of thumbnail images must remain the same size).

> > yourimage.jpg - this is you original image. This will need to be in your 'finished_files' folder. You may therefore like to run a batch process on these files, and resize them as you wish.

> That's it. If you followed this tutorial you should now have a basic understanding of Fireworks 4 batch processing and be able to write you own simple scripts. Here's a couple of tips to give you some more help.

> Tip 1.

> In the right window you may click and highlight a command you do not want. Click on 'Remove' to remove it.

> Tip 2.

> You may prefer to try to use 'percentage' in the scale dropdown menu for your _main or original image. This retains the dimensions of the image preventing distortion. This however cannot be used for the thumbnail images, _thumb and _over as these must have set dimensions.

> And don't just stop there, try experimenting with this useful feature. Happy Batching !
