Our photographs are taken 3:2 so when we resize using the email/web utility, we use 1024 x 683. However, I want to resize as part of a filter and the batch edit image window only allows 4:3 ie 1024 x 768. How do I persuade it to let me use a 3:2 ratio, please?

Hi Anthony.
Assuming I am reading you correctly, you want to crop your image to a specific ratio, and you want to be able to send it via email?

So far, easy.... Make sure the crop scissor is on, and place your image into the Image Editor. Now locate the crop lock box and make sure there's a check mark in it.
There are two text boxes to the right of teh check box. Type in a 3.0 in the first one, and 2.0 in the second one.

Now using your mouse, drag your crop and slide it where you want it positioned as you would with any other crop.
Click DONE and OK out, saving the crop as a filter.

When you go to resize simply, click the thumbnail to select. Do a Make email copies, click 1024 size, and you will keep the 3:2 ratio.

If you like to use the other Web Size box where you type in the sizes, make sure you have a 4 x 6 print size selected.

I don't want physically to crop and I don't want to email; I just want to adjust the resolution of an existing filter and apply it to a batch of photos. Your message has explained why the resolution ratio is fixed (because it's picking up the ratio of the first photo in the batch edit) so thank you for that. But I'm seeing something strange: I put a couple of 4 x 6 (original resolution 3648 x 2432) photos into the queue, go to batch edit, open my filter parameters from file (the filter has the resolution set to 1024 x 683) and the image displayed in the batch edit window is adjusted appropriately and to the correct size (1024 x 683). However, when I then "Save filtered images", "Create new images" and "Apply the filter to ALL images in the queue", then the results in the output folder have the original resolution (3648 x 2432), which I don't want. How can I get the resolution in the filter to stick on saving?

Ok so no cropping!
I am still a bit lost!
If you want to make a downsized copy of a batch of images, all downsized to the same size, you need to use Make Email/web copies.
On downsizing in the Image Editor screen, it is downsizing. It is saving, but it is only a filter. It still is showing the size of the image. If you hover the thumbnail over the image and hit spacebar, you see the new size.

I am not up on what you want to do... If you want to make a batch of downsized images form your original size, use Email Web copies.
If you want to change the aspect ratio, then you have to permit some cropping. Otherwise the image will be skewed /distorted.

Please explain:  "I have 15 images all 3:2 ratio but 8.0 mega pix in size. I want to...... ?

Using a filter to re-size is possible but if tyou want to e-mail that, the you need to make a new image: save filtered image.
E-mail copies is the "right" way to do it, or, a little more complicated, "Convert".
To retain the image aspect ratio, make sure Honour print crop is un-ticked. Also set the pixel size to be, for example 800x800 to get the longest side the set pixel size.

I have 400 images all with a resolution of 3648 x 2432. In *one operation*, I want to use a filter to remove the effects of the fluorescent lighting under which the photos have been taken AND reduce the resolution to 1024 x 683 AND create new images which have had the filter (including the resolution) applied. It seems to be possible to create new images from a filter so why is that process (when I do it as described earlier) ignoring the resolution (1024 x 683) that is part of the filter?

Ok, now that you explained,
Put a bunch in the queue, Open the first one in the image editor.
Set the White Balance to correct the fluorescent lighting.
Set the resolution to 1024 x 683.
Click DONE
When the dialogue box opens, put a dot in apply to all images, and another dot in CREATE NEW IMAGES.
Click OK
If it asks how would you like to apply the filter, say ADD.

That's all there is to it!
See snap
Fred

PS. You can save the filter, the white balance and the size by using FILE SAVE FILTER in the Image editor screen, for use again in future batches of the same group.
