 Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 4:24 pm Post subject: Photoshop Action problem!? |
 |
|
I work for a print and multimedia company as a web designer. I have ran into a problem dealing with image batching (actions). Basically I start with a template image 368x250. I record and action of opening the image. Then stop action. Then I go into "Automate/batch" in file menu. Tell it to take images from "this" folder, put into "that" folder and give it an _03.jpg extension. For some reason my images are being optimized. And I did not put this in the action.
The file should be the same size in the end as what I began with. I have not had this problem until recently. I have made no changes to anything in Photoshop. We have reloaded Photoshop 6 on my computer. It was optimizing worse before we re-loaded. I would have an image at 27k and after bacthing it was 16k. This is quite a loss in some of these images. Can you help me with this? Is it a preference, or something that is set? I am lost! Thanks for your help!....v/r Todd (web designer) |

Have you tried including a save as step? Maybe if you save as with the quality at 12 it will keep it the same size. Keep in mind if you do use a save as step it will remember which folder you save to. So, every time you use that action it will save to the same folder.

Hey OYBRO! Thanks for you advice! This would probably work for say 1 size, but I use the 368x250 images as a template for the 4 other sizes I batch for the web (200x136, 140x95, 100x100, 50x50) horizontal as well as vertical. Plus I have to keep file sizes to a minimum. The file sizes are already cropped at 72 DPI and saved at 60% quality.

|
|
I have had on and off issues with image batching optimizing my images when I do a batching process. So therefore the smaller sizes down from template size are poor quality. If I were to resize image and save out, it would have a better quality, than if I batch. But with hundreds of images I cannot do that with 4 sizes. Is this or can this be a preference setting, or cache issue? All I am doing in batching process is defining size and name. I have a seperate droplet for optimizing. Any help in this matter would be great! Thanks! |
