To all,

Is there a way of skipping the JPEG options box while batch processing?

I have several hundred images to fine tune and save as jpegs on almost a daily basis. My definition of heaven would be not having to hit the enter key for every file while running my actions! Could I save a "preset jpeg quality level"?

Thanks!

Mark

I think that the answer may have something to do with the way you record the action. Take a look at this in the help file

"Setting modal controls

A modal control pauses an action so that you can specify values in a dialog box or use a modal tool. You can set modal controls only for actions that launch dialog boxes or activate modal tools. If you do not set a modal control, dialog boxes do not appear when you play the action, and you cannot change the recorded values.
A modal control is indicated by a dialog box icon to the left of a command, action, or set in the Actions palette. A red dialog box icon indicates an action or set in which, some, but not all, commands are modal. In Photoshop, you must be in List mode—not Button mode—to set a modal control."

Translated into English:

In computer lingo, something is "modal" if you have to enter information for the command to finish. For example, let’s say you make a selection, then go to the Select menu and choose Feather. A modal window appears; it asks you how many pixels to feather. Until you type something and press Enter or hit a button, the command stops.

You can record an action and tell it to put in values into modal controls. For example, you can record an action and tell it to feather a selection by 8 pixels.

When you do this, the dialog windows do not appear.

If you open the Actions palette, you will see the list of commands in your action. Some of the commands will have a little red square next to them. That means those commands will stop and wait for the user to enter something into a modal window.

If you put the Actions palette into List mode, you can enter values for any commands that bring up modal controls. If you do this, the action will run with whatever values you specify; the action will not stop and ask the user to specify the values in the dialog box.
