Click the Action Panel Record button, and then start recording the operation. So each step of the operation will be recorded, to be used in bulk operation. Select Image > Image size in the main menu, set width to 1000 pixels, tick the zoom style, maintain proportions, and resample. Set the resample mode to Automatic, click OK. Instead of worrying about the size of the canvas, the action record records only the values of the marquee, such as the width you just set and the Drop-down menu you resample.

Step 5

After adjusting, save the image and let the action continue to record. Normally, you don't need to save in one action, but because you want to use bulk automation, you need to output to the correct file type. Select File > Save As, select file type as JPEG, and check the IIC configuration file. As shown in the following figure. There is no need to worry about the location of the image save, because in the batch operation, we will be required to save the specified folder, but in the action record to select the file type.

Step 9

You do not have to tick the ' open ' command in overwrite action because no files are open during the recording process. Also uncheck "Include all subfolders" because we do not include subfolders in the footage we use. Check the "Prohibit the display of File Open Options dialog box" and "Prohibit color profile warning", so that you can avoid each image processing pop-up confirmation profile changes the options and dialog box. Most JPEG images adopt an embedded sRGB color profile, and the PS default RGB mode is sRGB, so there is no need to warn and confirm. If the image itself does not have a color profile, PS defaults to using sRGB to operate. If you do not check the "Prohibit color profile warning", it will pop up again and again, can not automate the operation. After choosing good, click OK, PS began to work.
