Ok…..
I have been fumbling around with actions. We require 3 different sized images 400×400, 200×200, and 120×120, adding "lg" and "sm" to the end of the 400 and 120 file names respectively. I have been batch automating each set and am wondering a few things about saving. When I make my Lg img action, It has the following steps: Image size width 400, canvas size height 400, sharpen. Those are the mains steps I need in all my actions, with exceptions to the exact size. What I am having a problem with is Saving for Web. Most of the images we get from vendors are over 300 k in size and need to be under 20k. I want to run an action for each resize that will allow me to save for web. When I add SFW at the end of each action, It does not work save in the correct folder and saves the original and the resized image. I have a sperate SFW action that I run after I do each set of 400, 200, 120 but it asks to replace the existing file. I know I could switch the folder I am saving them too, But It would be easier if I could figure out how to add SFW at the end of each resize action without asking to replace.
What I need: Image Size 400 width, canvas 400 height, sharpen, Save for web
Any links to tutorials on actions? The manual and Evening’s book dont give enough info on this … Thanks in advance. Ark
