139809 2003-04-29 05:54:00 Do you have Adobe Photoshop? I know it can do batch jobs like yours, but I don't know if it can read PNG files. somebody (208)

139811 2003-04-29 06:05:00 Yup, both Adobe PhotoShop 7 and Adobe ImageReady 7 can save and open PNG.

I suspect version 6 could too (and probably even 5 or earlier), but it's been awhile and the memory cells are degrading somewhat.

139812 2003-04-29 06:07:00 I have made a post earlier about this.

Yes Photoshop can open PNG files.

Here are the instructions:

1. Go to the 'Actions' palette and create a new action.
2. Select the action and hit 'Record' - round button
3. Open one file, and save it as whatever file format you want.
4. Click "Stop" - square button

5. Go to File-Automate-Batch.
6. Select your Action in the top

7. Change 'Source' to "Folder"
8. Click on "Choose" and select the folder with your images
9. In "Destination" select "Save and Close"
10. Click OK.

Wait for it do process the photos - could take a while.

The Photoshop's Help file has a very helpful document on how to use the Batch processing.
