Quick Help PLEASE :)

OK,
just finished a "test" shoot for a magazine position.
Had very little directive (shot model before) but was asked to basically "have at it". Really they wanna go through "their process" and not take my work before etc.

Anyway, shot about 500 images.
Now, they (although said little thus far) want them sent to "proof" and see which ones they want processed for use.

I shoot in RAW and download using LIGHTROOM.

Usually I do 1 image at a time and export to CS3 if needing much PP.

What is the best/easiest way to "batch" these images for easy 'net transmittal to the magazine in NY?

They said they have used Yahoo Messenger alot to do the transmittal. So basically I need to know how to get them small images (with enough content to "proof") so they can tell me which they want PP'ing at 300 ppi.

Not done this before but am sure LR or CS3 can do it. Whats best way (whilst maintaining orig. files to work with) to do this?

Thanks so much in advance,
Nick

 

OK,
have more info. but due to tiredness/stress this is still kicking my ***  

I need to process X amount of files (say 20) for "proof".
I PP them as usual/needed then need to save as;

8.5 x 11 inch jpeg at 300ppi (to send over net to magazine for proofing).

Easy help PLEASE  

 

all great tips thanks!
However, they are NOT eing to forthcoming thus far and seem to want FTP of about 12 images to proof.

What am doing is this;

Download to LR.
Open in CS3 and PP.
Save (goes back to LR as modified file, TIFF).
Export in LR. This allows file dimensions and size.

However, when right clicking the saved file the dimensions seem to be different than that inputed to save. I.E. need to save at 11" by 8.5" and saved file appears to be bigger (although the 300ppi is correct) hmmm.
