Converting several jpgs to tif at a time

[lindacc]

2 questions.
I am new here on the website and a hobbyist with a passion for digital photography. The more I learn the more I know I don't know. I am so excited with all the fabulous galleries and the depth of knowledge available here.
1. I have just gotten PS, and am in the learning curve. (I'm a newbie)
I have been converting the original jpgs I am taking to tif for print, although one at a time. This is consuming a lot of time. Is there a way to do a whole folder at once or atleast several pics at a time?
2. I see some really great looking framing (bordering) on some of your galleries. Some with a 3D shadow effect, etc...... How do I get these effects?
I am just starting my galleries so I do not have very much uploaded yet.

Thank you
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you're using a PC then download a copy of Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com and do a Batch Resize (under File).

Great program. Makes a good companion for PS and PSE, better for thumbnails, sorting to folders, batch resizing and converting, slide shows, etc.

Thank you so much. Downloaded Irfanview. Can't wait to use it. Will save so much time. Looks like it has alot of "Bells and Whistles". What Fun!!!

I am no PS professional but I have found a lot of PS support sites. some of them have free actions for download. There are actions for framing as well. What I suggest is to run them on one of your pictures and see the results, some of them are excellent. Just a quick link to get you started,
