Macros and Batch Processing 181<br />

If you don’t need to perform the manual operation, click Continue to<br />

continue the macro without pausing.<br />

Copying, duplicating and deleting Macros<br />

With the vast collection of macros and commands at your disposal, it’s useful to<br />

know that you can copy preset or user-defined macros to any user-defined<br />

category for modification—simply right-click on the macro to be copied and select<br />

Copy. You can paste the macro by right-click then selecting Paste (the macro will<br />

be added to the end of the category list). Additionally, commands can be moved<br />

(as opposed to copied) between any user-defined macros by drag and drop.<br />

You can't copy macros or commands into any pre-defined category.<br />

<strong>User</strong>-defined macros and their associated commands can also be duplicated (or<br />

deleted) by right-click and selection of the Duplicate (or Delete) command.<br />

Batch processing<br />

The batch processing feature is especially useful if you want to repeat the same<br />

operation again and again... Batch processing allows you to:<br />

• Use Macro: uses pre-recorded or user-defined macro as part of the batch<br />

process.<br />

• Change File Type: to bulk convert images to a new file format (with different<br />

file properties if needed).<br />

• Resize Images: to resample images to various widths, heights, or resolutions.<br />

• Change File Name: to alter the file names of images in bulk.<br />

For any of the above, you specify separate source and destination folders as your<br />

input and output. There are several advantages to this, mainly that your original<br />

photos are not overwritten.
