Supressing jpg options popup in Photoshop Batch Processing
Posted: October 4th, 2009 | Author: Liza | Filed under: cs4, photoshop | Tags: batch processing, cs4, photoshop, supressing jpg options |I rarely do Batch Processing, but I find it incredibly useful when I do.
I had an issue kick up where every time I batch processed images (just basically resized them and saved them again), a “jpg options” dialog box came up.
So instead of Photoshop just batch processing 300 images I would have to sit here for every image and press “OK” for each, which kind of defeats the purpose.
The solution was to tick the “Override Action “Open” Commands” in the Automate area.
Also although I wanted to use the “save for web” options, It didnt seam to work and also kicked up the same error. So I just used “Save As”. this technique worked for me anyway.
I JUST found the way around this in CS4 that doesn’t involve as many steps. Add a “save” item to the action, (file - save) then when you get the JPEG Options dialogue box, click OK and end the action recording.
When you want to do your batch processing, have destination as “Save & Close” This means that the file is saving itself twice, but you don’t have to touch a thing.
