Adobe Photoshop CS5 : Working with Automate Commands - Using the Fit Image Command

The Fit Image command is a quick way to adjust an image to a specific width and height without changing its current aspect ratio. While the same process can be accomplished using Photoshop’s Image Size dialog box, this way is quicker and works more reliably when used to change the size of an image within an action.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 : Working with Automate Commands - Processing Multiple Image Files

The Image Processor command in Photoshop allows you to convert and process multiple files without first creating an action, which is something you need to do with the Batch command.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 : Sizing Digital Images - Resizing an Image (part 1) - Image Size, Canvas Size

Shooting on film is still a valid choice. Film offers greater flexibility for low-light situations, and it offers some aesthetic options not afforded by digital capture.

Filters can save time and in fact can even be fun to use. Before you rush in and try out every filter in Photoshop, you need to make sure the image is ready to be processed. Many filters are render intensive, so there’s no reason to spend extra time on pixels you will be throwing away.

The method you just learned has you making a selection, and then filling it using Content-Aware Fill. If you’d rather paint than select, you can use the Spot Healing Brush—just make sure the Content-Aware radio button is on up in the Options Bar, then paint right over what you want gone.
