Hi
I have almost a 1000 images i need to reduce in size and ‘save for web’ with exactly the same file name. Trouble is some of these images have long names and photoshop (version 7) seems to clip the file name down when i save it.
E.g
Big-Ben-748578436583474689.jpg Becomes Big-Ben-7485784365834746.jpg

Is there a setting in photoshop I can change to stop it clipping the file name down?
Many thanks,

Yes. As these names won’t work on some platforms that are likely to be encountered on the web, PS defaults to making the file names compatible with the "Save for Web" feature.

Just use "Save As" (JPEG, as a copy) is the easiest way.

Much better than "save as" is to change your default settings at "save for the web".

Go to the "Save for the web" window, choose "Edit output settings", in the drop-down menu choose "Saving files" and change file compatibility to Windows checked only.

Save these preferences, and your worries for the remaining 999 images should be gone.

Not if you’re using automation to re-save 1,000 images and want it to complete some time this week.
