Sussed how t do it in PS3

With one of our images open we head to the Actions palette. You can get to this via Window > Actions. We want to create a new action. Give your action a name and then hit ok. You will see the red record button is now on, meaning that anything you do in Photoshop now will be recorded.

Create New Photoshop Action

Resize the image by heading to Image > Image Size. I'm resizing my image to a width of 1024 pixels wide. Then Save the Image by going to File > Save as. Choose a different folder to save the file into than your originals. When saved close the original image and then click Stop on your action.

Stop Action
Automate it

Now you have your action we can use it to automate an entire folder of image. To do this go to File > Automate > Batch.

Automate menu in Photoshop

On the options you want to select your Action under Play - Action (pick the one you have just created). Then under Source choose Folder and then select your Source folder. Then you should be all set. Click OK and it will start to run through each of the images in your folder! Magic.
