Automating export low res web jpgs

Picturequest Mar 26, 2014 12:54 PM

Hi!

I work on some very large, many layered Tiff files. I often need a 1000 px sRGB jpg for email or web. When I go to export for web, the processing/preview time is VERY long.

Is there an action or better way to export a WEB/sRGB 1000px jpg in one step?

I haven't tried it yet but I know their is a new function where PS wills ave out web assets if you label ther layer (seay .jpg or .png. But I think that would still be at the original large size.

Just trying to streamline. When I'm in Lightroom, I can just go to exoport to email and it does the 800px conversion instantly. 800 seems to be its largest scaled size.

Thanks

Max

Are you wanting different layers turned into jps or the entire file? If it is the separate layers, you can use Generator, as you mentioned above, by renaming the layers with the proper tags and sizes. If it is the entire file, you can use image processor and set the size limitataion in the dialog box.

Okay, I tried Image processor, but two problems. As an action, it doues pop up for user input. But the only option for me was process open images. But I really only want the working document. I don't need to export every open doc, and it would be too much work to close the other images, then reopen them after exporting the jpg?

For posterity.

I found this link helpful using GENERATOR:IMAGE ASSETS. seems to be the easiest way to generate the jpgs I needed without the wait caused by Save for Web.

Thanks
