I see some guys here that appear fairly knowledgeable with resizing actions and batch automation.. help!!
using ps7 in windows
I got stuck doing a grunt job for the company I work for. I really need some automation to get this done faster.
Problem: I have multiple folders.. in each folder contains a small image called 100×100.jpg
I want to run a batch process (and create a droplet to drag the root folder containing all folders to) using a created action to take the above file and instantly resize it 3 different ways and save all three files.
I created an action doing the resize 3 times..
I’m not sure if I need to open the file in the action or not. So I tried both ways, no luck. I would change image size of 100×100 file, then click Ctrl-Alt-Z to change image back to original size, then changing image to next size, repeat, and finally change image to final size of 88×88.
I made 120×120.jpg, 90×120.jpg and 88×88.jpg from the first one so now there’s 4 files in that folder.
Imagine having to do this manually for 30 websites, 30 folders each.
So, I keep getting the REPLACE FILE? popup.. it worked fine when I did it recording the action. But when I run the droplet or batch, it won’t write the files to the folder and seems like its replacing or trying to overwrite something.. doesn’t make sense.. and I need to do it recursive style.. all folders inside one root folder.. so the batch operation should go into all folders, resize the image creating 3 new ones, for each subfolder.. saving them in their respective folders, NOT a new destination folder..
again, each 100×100.jpg has its own folder, there’s 30 folders, each with one of these files in it.. diff pics of course, just same filename..
Please, if someone can give me a step-by-step to try, I’d truly appreciate it.
thanks so much
