Hi,

I am trying to create a batch process in Photoshop using AUTOMATE that will open my images across a number of sub-directories and then save them with web optimisation using the SAVE TO WEB function.

I can create the batch and it starts to process but it won’t progress past the image that I used as the sample in the AUTOMATE recording process, and it keeps presenting the Save dialog box for that one image.

How can I automate the SAVE TO WEB function so that it will automatically go through images in a directory?

Thanks in advance.

In the Batch dialog, check ‘Ignore Save As command’.

First, make a "receive directory" for the save-to-web resulting files. ( I named mine: "batch result" ) Then, create an action that does the modifications you want, – I usually resize and apply an unsharp filter – and usually add auto-contrast and add some text – and then I save to web (at around 50%) to my "batch result" directory without changing the name (this is important, or all the files will take the new name and you’ll end up with only one) and finally I close the file WITHOUT SAVING.

When I run the action in a batch file, I set "Destination to ‘None’ ". (I am using PS7.01)

Hi Mike,

Thanks – the not saving the file is the trick!
