174 Macros and Batch Processing
Using macros
Macros (see p. 167) can be applied to a batch process easily (via Use Macros).
PhotoPlus doesn’t differentiate between pre-recorded and recorded macros. If
available, they are selected from the same Category and Macro drop-down
menus equally.
Changing file type
It is possible to convert your photos into one of many different file types
available in PhotoPlus (via Change File Type). In addition, conversion options
such as bit depth, palette, dithering, compression/quality, and matte can be
selected depending on the file type.
carried out independently
or in conjunction with
macros (the dialogs
shown opposite converts
each image to 24-bit PNG
format).
Changing image size
As well as changing file formats, PhotoPlus can use batch processing to alter
image sizes in bulk (using a choice of resampling methods) via Resize Images.
Typically, this is a quick and easy way to make your images scale to a maximum
image dimension (height or width) with aspect ratio maintained, to absolute
image dimensions (with stretching/shrinking to fit), scale by percentage, and
scale by resolution (DPI). Use for sending your digital photos via email or
perhaps to publish your images online via a website.
