Photoshop :: Optimizing Images For The Web ---> Large + Thumbnail
Jun 6, 2006
As a long time Photoshop user I regularly use batch automation in my normal daily routine but there is something I would like some help on...
Currently I have a folder that is filled with hi-res retouched images and I have a batch set up to save each file first as a large (web optimized) version in one folder and then as a smaller thumbnail version in another folder.
This is how I usually save the images but when I submit them they all need to be inside a single folder with specific extensions explaining the size of the file (ie the original file named "file123" would be saves as two versions called "file123_large" and "file123_thumb") in the same folder...
Is there a way I can add these extensions onto the file when it's being optimized for the web? I've always renamed these manually and it's just so repetitive and seems like a waste of time.

I'm working with large files starting at 24x48" @ 240 dpi. Usually with a few layers, Smart layer, then processing several plug-ins like NIK, TOPAZ, etc.
It can take a long time to save the native PS file (around 1.5G), and then I save off jpgs at full res for the printer, and use save for web to process a web jpg around 1200 pixels wide.
This is what I have. Win7 64, a 1gb Nvidia GTX 460, 12gb ram, the OS is on a 64gb SSD.
which of the3se can speed things up?
1) Add a second SSD for the Cache/APP/ and working files (PSDs)
2) I don't think my system can go beyond 12gb RAM unfortunately it is a couple year old i7
3) Would a different video card do anything? More video RAM?
I do believe the latest NIK plug-ins use the GPU, but I will check. Would any of these thing make a noticeable performance boost?

I've been using GIMP for a while now, but have come across an issue I'm having difficulty solving regarding the optimization / shrinking of a large HD sized PNG image.
The dimensions of the image are 1920 by 1028 with opacity set at 33%, for a website background. The website template uses another image to create a 'noise' effect. If I leave the image as color and optimize with the "Save For Web", it comes down to 968KB from 3.7MB! If I remove the color / De saturate and save as GIF, down to 424KB. If I save as GIF and Dither, comes down to 125K, but the end image is dithered, and very ugly .

I'm creating a portfolio page on my website, and a while back I've seen a beautiful effect on someone else's portfolio site.
What they did was create a fairly large thumbnail image about 300 or 400px wide. And they took the home page and a details page screen grabs from their portfolio and combined 2 images into one thumbnail. The images were positioned one to the right one to the left, but angled (I can't figure out how). And one was over the other a little, but you could see the majority of each image, and there was a cool shadow effect behind both. I really wish I could create something like that myself, but no matter what I try I can't get anything that looks like what I remember seeing. I tried perspective, distort, skew, etc. Just can't get it to look cool and keep the images legible.

I am in the process of resizing Tiff images to JPEG thumbnails, 640x433 pixels. The problem is finding the best solution to do batch processing. I have archived my "Clouds," files on 10 DVDs so far and still have the original folders on my HD.
I want to now resized them to archive on CDRs, for distribution to stock houses etc., thus I need your assistance. The integrity, color, quality has to mirror the original images.

My gimp opens all images in small thumbnail size (160 120). How can I get rid of this and get the files opened in their original size. I am running ubuntu 11.04 and gimp 2.6.11, and utilizing .NEF (nikon raw)
I have tried to remove $HOME/.gimp-2.6 - that didn't seem to work. I have installed and uninstalled ufraw - that didn't seem to work I have looked at gimp preferences, don't see there anything which would define reading in images into "thumbnail" size.
I am suspecting that after installing ufraw this problem appeared and I seem not be able to get rid of it. Removing $HOME/.ufrawrc didn't useful.

I've just started using Lightroom 5, and right after importing them I noticed the images are of very poor quality. If I try and blow them up bigger using the slider they get even worse.I've used Bridge in Photoshop to do this before and the images look great, so I can quickly look at them and sort the good from the bad.I can't do this in Lightroom with the quality of the image thumbnails. So how do you make the thumbnails better? Also does the camera MP size determine what the thumbnails look like? In other words If I used an 8MP camera, would the thumbnails look as good as they would coming from a 20MP camera?

The thumbnails that appear on the BOM list do no update when changing the part. The IDW file is open and the part is opened from inside the IDW environment to change view, visual style etc. then saved and closed.
When returning to the IDW and re-creating the BOM list the thumbnail the image does not update. Why does the BOM list not automatically update the thumbnail images on the IDW ?

In Bridge you can enhance imported thumbnail images to a high quality, however in Lightroom 3 or 4 this does not appear to be the case, with images appearing of a lesser quality. Is there a process in Lightroom which will enhance thumbnail images to a high quality as in Bridge.?

I'm using Photoshop CS6 to assemble and export a series of extremely high-res tiles. Long story short, they will be used to make up a large map in a mobile app.
I have a pretty tight deadline and I've just been stopped in my tracks by an error I get when I try to scale them up.
Each tile is a layered PSB file, 16384 x 16384px at 72dpi, about 2-3GB in size. All I want to do is scale them up to double their size - 32768 x 32768px.
When I try to do this, I receive the error, 'Could not complete the Image Size command because the result would be too big'.
What exactly does this mean in terms of size (filesize or pixel dims)? What's the problem?
Since I'm working in PSB format and I'm resizing within the bounds of the 300,000px limit, I don't understand why I'm not permitted to scale up to 32768px.
I need to preserve the layers as Smart Objects in order to upscale them... so no flattening.
All I can think of is splitting the files into smaller tiles (I currently have 28 tiles to upscale).

This is probably a basic one for most people, but I'm pretty clueless... I've got a fairly large image (3000px) that I need to scale down to 500-ish px. How do I best go about doing this without getting that awful 'halo' effect? I've tried gradually scaling down without much success.

I'm currently working on a huge image and remembered that a version of Photoshop used to have the function that would allow you to open one section of a huge image at a time to work on. From what I can recall you used to go to open the image and a Navigator looking window would pop up and you'd choose which area of the image you would like to work on, click ok and it would load just that area.Is this feature still around?

I'm going to take a family portrait photo and touch it up a little before printing it. Thing is ... I will be printing at least a size 16'' by 20'' photo. I'm not familiar with working with images this large. When I have it printed I want to be sure that the photo looks clear/normal.
I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me in regard to...
1) What color mode works best for quality printing results
2) How I should crop for best results
3) How to save file to ensure best printing results

Downloaded Gimp last night, and when I opened up to view the images, I see only a list, not thumbnails. Gotta have thumbnails to see what exactly I'm looking at, regardless whether the images are named or numbered. don't Gimp have that option to change the viewing mode, like Windows?
I have Windows 7 (64 bit).

Why is the thumbnail border for some images a different color in grid view? Please see the attached image. I can't figure out why the image on the left is a lighter gray than the two in the middle. The far right image is lighter because it is selected.

I want to output jpg files as a slide show (not video) to various large LCD screens. Can someone advise me of the best image pixel dimensions and ppi for this? I have tried 4256 x 2835 at 300 ppi as generated by the psd file and it looks dreadful on a large screen. I don't have ready access to large screens, so I am not able to experiment myself. Also, when resizing images (both increase and decrease) is it best to have the "resample" box in "image size" ticked or not?

I work at an architectural company and I need to resize a lot of images in our database. We’re talking about roughly 40.000 images, but that is not the hurdle.Previously I have made an action that resizes my images in two steps, because I need them in two different qualities When I open the image and runs the action, it does something like this:
Convert mode: Convert to RGBSave: As JPEG, quality 10, and in a certain folderImage size: width 800px, constrain proportionsSave: As JPEG, quality 8, and in another folderClose Now I want to make a change to that action, by resizing the image two times instead of one.I want it to look something like this:
Convert mode: Convert to RGBImage size: width 4000px, constrain proportions (BUT ONLY IF THE IMAGE SIZE IS LARGE ENOUGH, OTHERWISE LEAVE IT AS IT IS)Save: As JPEG, quality 10, and in a certain folderImage size: width 800px, constrain proportionsSave: As JPEG, quality 8, and in another folderClose
How can I do this? Do I need to add a variable or?

I have a very large PDF that I need to open in Photoshop (It is a template image). The size of the image is 125.9843" x 91.5354".
However, when I open in Photoshop the image is automatically resized to about 106" x 79". I have tried to manually input the dimensions upon opening the file, however, when I open the file and check "Image Size" the dimensions are 106" x 79" again.
I can open the image in Illustrator at the correct dimensions automatically, and the PDF file itself is at the correct dimensions.
[I am using Photoshop CS5.1]

I am not able to save the changes that I make to the starting position of my scenes thumbnails when I use a Thumbnail Menu to create my DVD. I am using Video Studio X4 with Service Packs 1 and 2 installed running on Windows XP Home, SP 2 with all updates installed and DirectX 9.0. The scene changes work fine when I Preview them but they are not saved when I close the Create Disk sub-menu. When I return to the “Menu and Preview” section of the Create Disk sub-menu, the Main Menu scene change is present as is the Chapter 1 scene change but the other chapter scene changes are gone. What can I do to correct this?

Today, after moving some folders that were incorrectly located (based on year/month/date) back to their proper location, I optimized the catelog. I then discovered that all my keyword tags were missing, but the image caption and description ("Notes") were not lost. This amounts to approximately 10 years worth of images.
Why did did I lose all the keyword tags? How can I recover them? I have not closed or restarted the Elements Organizer, nor have I tried to Repair the catalogs for fear of overwriting something that cannot be corrected. When should the repair catelog be used?
I am using a Dell desktop computer with Windows XP. We have an external HD for backup that is supposed to be constantly syncing for backup.
