Photoshop :: Save For Web In Action - Change Output To Pixel Width
Jan 28, 2013
We do hundreds of images for our main client for print purposes. As part of the work, they want all of the final images run through Save for Web saved as both a .jpg and .png file at 1000 pixels wide.
Â
The problem is, if you try to create an action for this, the size the action saves is a percentage and not a pixel width. So it's impossible (so it seems) to save an action that sets the scale as a proportional resize with a fixed output of 1000 pixels wide. Since all of the images vary in size and it insists on saving the size as a percentage, you can't create an action that will work.
Â
I've tried to see if there's a way to modify the action to change the output to a pixel width, but can't see how to do it. Is this even possible? It would save us TONS of work not having to manually open each image twice and saving for each format.
I created an action to change the width of an image. I execute the action using DoScript javascript method. Â The first action Obj1 will select the whole image and second action Obj2 will open the transform panel and change the width of the image. Â app.Open("D:LWW_Castoff45991_09_03.eps")Â Â Â Â Â Â Â app.DoScript("Obj1", "LWW")Â Â Â Â Â Â Â While (app.ActionIsRunning)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Thread.Sleep(500)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
[Code]...
In the above code, the second action 'Obj2' is not getting executed. Both the actions are getting executed individually. Let me know the problem and how to execute both the actions.
I made an action that does a bunch of stuff, and then saves as to a folder. How do I change the save to destination within the action? Every so often I need to save to a new location.
I just re-built my PC with Vista x64 and re-installed PS CS3 from scratch upgrading to 10.0.1 from the auto update. I need this for LR2 to integrate.
Since the re-build (I was on XP x64 previously) one of my actions which includes a 'Save As', which saves the image to a specified directory and as a JPG (not the directory the image opens from), is unexpectedly displaying the 'save as' dialog, waiting for manual input. This opens on the source image directory, suggesting it's ignored the suggested destination path, and it suggests the PSD file type rather than JPG as suggested in the action. It seems to be looking for input simply because it thinks I'm trying to overwrite the original image file.
I have created an action script where I change the color of the objects in a photo and then have the action automatically save for web as a PNG-24 image. My issue is that the save for web continually overwrites the existing file at that location. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
needs to overlay a grid over a photo and then save it as another file. In CS5.5 or earlier, no problem, but in CS6 it is not working for either of us.Â
The batch action (run from either Photoshop or Bridge) stops and prompts at the Save command every time no matter what format we save it in (psd, png, jpg, save for web, etc.).
I have been through the Web and the Adobe Forums and cannot find a work around for this. He cannot just hit enter everytime the popup window comes up because he has over 2700 photos to put this grid on.
I'm having trouble with the spacing of my text when I import a .rtf file. The spaces change width based on the width of the columns. The problem does not effect all the paragraphs only select ones. If I change the width of the column the spacing of the text will fix itself. All of the text is the same text style. I have attached a copy for reference.
I drew a cured line with the brush tool in illustrator CS5, but when I select the new "width tool" to change the width, it doesn't work. Â Here are my steps: Â 1. Select the paintbrush tool 2. Draw something 3. Select the "width tool" 4. Try to change the width but it won't work. Â Since I draw with the paintbrush tool, the "width tool" can be very handy if I can get it to work.
I do a lot of animations so I create FG maps and freeze them. I normally render at 1280 x 720 and create my FG maps at 480 x 270 and samples per pixel at min 4 max 64.
Does samples per pixel effect FG maps. I read somewhere it doesn't and that you can quite happily render FG maps at min 1/64 max 1/64. Which would increase the speed of the crateing FG maps.
Would I be better lowering my samples per pixel and highering my output size?
I'm usually in a constant battle with flickering especially with folaige
I'd like to create an action that spot heals with a specific brush, with specific brush parameters and centered on a specific pixel - is this possible? I've got 16MP image files coming from a camera with a hot pixel, and I'd like to just run an action on import rather than heal it manually every time.
I have some picture look like a line of graph, but it has only one-pixel line width (for an example in attach file) and it can't be seen when I put it in presentation slide. So I want to make line thicker, like 3-5 pixel width. How can I do this?
I found a lisp in the net to create a rectangle by marking objects in a draw.
But it would nice to get at the end of the lisp after creating the rectangle a output in the command line about the length and with of the created rectangle.
who can add the code for the length/width output?

I created a comp with 30 image planes and an animated camera. Now we want to work with the result in Fusion so I need an FBX. Is there a way to output it directly from action? And how can I export the camera with the animation?

I have a camera move in action to move between a couple of still images. This is going into an interlaced programme so I'd like the move to be interlaced (50i). Currently the ouput is rendering progressive frames and I can't see how to change this within cfx/action.
I am trying to output lens flares and rays in the matte output option from action. These obviously appear to be ok via the 'comp' option, but when I add all objects to output the matte, only the geometry appears in the output, with no sign whatsoever of flares and rays. I would imagine these are available as a choice as they do appear in the object choices. [Code]..
I've created an action that uses the save for web dialogue to optimise images for the web. When I use the batch command to process a full folder of images, even though I have "Override action "save as" command" checked, it ignores this and still uses the location that was used when the action was created. Â Apparently this is a known issue in CS6 and previous versions but whether this has been fixed in Photoshop CC?
I have created an action where I do some stuff with the picture and then I save the file to a shared network drive while using the "Save for Web" function. While recording the action everything works fine but when I run the action I got a error that Photoshop can't save the file because the Path does not exist / Is unavailable. It is stuck while he want's to run the "Save for Web" part of the action. Â I tried the mapped path (Z:files...) and the UNC path (\fileservusersdjametfiles...) but both did not work.I am using Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7 Professional (64Bit).
Just playing with actions multiple outputs. Have added a matte output successfully but can't find the 'edit output' option to add objects from the schematic to the object list, even if I add all I am then seeing unexpected behaviour using the different blend modes. Is this operator error (it wouldn't be the first time...)?
I'm trying to make an action that would perform some operations on images and save them to two different folders (as PDF and as JPG). Here's what my action looks like:
I make a droplet out of this action, and run it on a directory with a bunch of jpg files. However, all files are saved the same two locations: "archivepages_c.pdf" and "archivejpeg600pages_c.jpg".
I'm editing a storyboard with music in the timeline panel. I work in a studio and don't want to disturb everyone by repeating the same part of a track over and over while I work. So, I plug my headphones in BUT...sound keeps coming out of my display (even though I can hear the audio up/down "blip blip" in my headphones when I adjust volume). Searched preferences but there is NO mention of any way to edit the audio output.
I have a document which has has a non-square pixel ratio thus requires pixel aspect ratio correction to be turned on to view the image correctly.
I want to save it as a JPEG for use online however I cant find an option anywhere to make the saved file have the corrected aspect ratio. Â Essentially when I save the file as a JPEG (or any end format) the image is squished. How can I save the file not squished? (i.e. burn in the ratio correction)
how to delete the one pixel line which surrounds Illustrator JPG and GIF images in the Save for Web dialogue box. I can import the image into Photoshop, but I'm trying to retain a bright red color on an image for the web (#FF000), and the color becomes darkened in Photoshop.how to get rid of that one pixel line?
i have started creating layouts in photoshop cs3 and i was wondering if there is an easy way to save my layouts as fluid width, as opppsed to fixed, so they resize according to the browser window. is css the only way to go?
we are running photoshop 8 in a windows 7 environment, and are experiencing daily hangups, slow save and output times, and software crashs....are there any patches or hotfix downloads avail? or maybe just tweaking? I've search thru the "help" section and can't really identify any.
When I create an Action that involves File, Save As.. it hardcodes the directory name I was using during recording. I want it to use the same directory as the open document. Is there a way to do this?
I.e., when I record the action on the file /path1/xyz.psd, and then try to run it on /path2/abc.psd, it will save the document abc.psd in /path1 rather than /path2.
when I use the 'Save for web' option, choose 'gif 128 Dithering' and click on the save-button, PS wants to save an html-file (like slices in Imageready). When this occurs I have to rename the file-extension into gif and choose 'pictures only'.
This sometimes becomes a problem with actions and batch-processing.
For example: I've made a simple action which resizes all pics to 180 pixels and saves them as gif for web. This action stops, when the 'save for web' option wants to save the file as html. I want the gifs to have the same name as the original file, so I can't just name them pic001, pic002 and so on.
Has this something to do with the original files being bmp's?
I am having an issue with Backburner (2013.0.0 & 2013.0.2). I recently tried to render a 2011 3ds Max File Through backburner and since then I have been getting this error:
INF Sending instructions for job '(File name)' to (computer name) WRN Task Error for (computers name) ERR Job '(file name)' (Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 (64-bit)) failed for Cosmo ERR Error message: 3dsmax adapter error : Autodesk 3dsMaxDesign 15.0 reported error: Error writing to file "(out put location)".
My render farm and Backburner were working perfectly before this (using 3ds Max Design 2013 and Backburner 2013.0.0), however, ever since I tried to render out the 2011 file I am unable to render even fresh Max 2013 files through Backburner. I don't know if this is important info but the 2011 file was worked on in Max 2011 and 2013.
I rendered out the scene through 3ds max (not Backburner) and was able to save the the Jpegs to the same output location that I need to save to when rendering with Backburner (I have an external network drive so all the nodes can access the necessary data). When I change the file output to my Desktop Backburner works correctly and I do not get this error, however, I need to set the output to the network drive. I tried installing backburner 2013.0.2 and the hotfix file.
