I currently use Photoshop 5.5 to manipulate batches of images.

Via actions, I resize and save for web, optimize the image and save the batch via the automation process.

This has worked fine but now I want to resize one image to 3 sizes and automatically rename them as different images.
e.g. ImageA has been resized 3 times and so want the actions process to save 1 size as ImageAhuge.jpg; 1 as ImageAlarge.jpg & 1 as ImageAthumb.jpg

Does anyone know what command I could use to enable Photoshop to do this via the actions.

Alternatively does anyone know a work round?

It’s been a while since I used actions in 5.5 but one suggestion is to run three different passes of an action.

Action 1 resizes to Size 1, Save as Name 1
Action 2 resizes to Size 2, Save as Name 2
Action 2 resizes to Size 3, Save as Name 3

I can’t help more than that since I’m not running 5.5 anymore…

Peace,

If you want to conserve the file name of your original Image You must make three folders: huge, large, thumb.

Then you write the action this way.
1) Resize
2) Save as (do not write a new name)and save to huge.
3) Resize
4) Save as to large.
5) Resize
6) Save as to thumbs.
7) Close (when asked to save say: No. because you want the original un touched.

You can put this folders as sub folders into an other folder of your pictures or separate.
