Photoshop :: Stop Action In Save For Web

Feb 10, 2009

Is it possible to insert a "stop" in the action for save for the web, just before actual save. Basically i want to be able to name my file manually (use distinctive names), but just to automate the picture size option and quality (which don't change). I know that i can write an action for an image resize and than save it with my desired file name, but i was wondering if i can do it all in "one shot" without the altering of original image.

Photoshop :: CS6 Action (Save As A Jpg) Despite Other Format Save As In Action?

May 8, 2013

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. 

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.

Photoshop :: Stop To Add Text During Action Playback

May 6, 2004

I want to create an action where I create a stop, add text (patient's name for medical photos) which is automatically formatted to my preference of font size, color, etc. I can then hit the action play button to run the remainder of the action command, which will join and size photos from different files for printing. I can do everything but add the patient's name.

Photoshop :: Batch Action Takes Over Desktop - Stop It?

Nov 19, 2012

I've created an action that I use in batch in PS CS5 - which uses basic PS stuff like curves, etc and then uses some steps from Color Effects Pro 4 from Nik Software.  I usually start the process from the Autmate window and the minimize PS while I open Firefox or something else and do other things while the batch is takign place.  Since I have added this new step from Color Effects -

when the process gets to that point, the PS window maximizes, making PS and its windows active again, like I clicked on them.  To clarify, the part that Color Effects plays, requires no input from me.  I have a feeling because its a third party add-on to PS, that some how the program becomes "active" when this happens, bringing it to the front of my desktop. 
 
Actions that I have created that use only the mechanics of PS and nothing outside of this, never do this.  However, they will bring each file they are working on, active to the desktop, even though PS is minimized.  They do not, however, take control of the Desktop and make the file the active window I'm looking at.
 
I'm also in the Standard Screen Mode for PS and I do not use window/document docking as I prefer to have floating windows while in PS.

Photoshop :: Can't Copy Text Inside Stop Message Box When Recording Action

Jan 22, 2013

I'm creating a few PS actions and I wrote a piece of text that I want to show by a "insert stop" rule at the begining of every action.
 
Problem is this: when I copy the text (from TextEdit) and go to the dialogue box on Photoshop, text simply doesn't paste. If i have to write it on every single action it will be a neverending work!

Photoshop :: Override Action (save-as) Command With Save For Web Batch Processing?

Jul 6, 2013

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.
 
Apparently this is a known issue in CS6 and previous versions but whether this has been fixed in Photoshop CC?

Photoshop :: Can't Save To Network Drive When Using Save For Web In Action

Jan 16, 2013

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.
 
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).

Photoshop :: Using (save) Action To Save To Directory?

Oct 26, 2013

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".

Photoshop :: Action: Save As

Apr 25, 2008

I have a question about actions.

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.

Photoshop :: 'Save For Web' [Action]

Mar 5, 2004

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?

Photoshop :: Save An Action To File

Feb 25, 2009

I've got Photoshop CS4 and have created an action. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to save the action to a file so I can share it with others. The action converts a PSD to JPG and exports it for the web. How do you save an action so you can share it? I don't want to share all of my actions -- just this one.

Photoshop :: Making A Save Action

Aug 5, 2004

Using PS7 I need to make an action that allows me to type in a different name each time when saving a file. ... this is basic but I just can't seem to get it.

More detail is... I have a .psd file that gets changed and then saved from 5 to 15 different ways to another computer on a network. The problem is being able to save the file as a number from "500" to "1299." Is there another way to do this without having an action for each number?

Photoshop :: Addition Of Copy On Action Save

Apr 13, 2008

This wasn't happening before, but now, every time I use a 'save' action, "copy" is inserted after the filename even if no other image with the same filename/extension is in the folder.

I don't know how to attach an image of my action, but would be happy to send a jpg via email if any one wishes.

Photoshop :: 'Save As' In CS3 Action Doesn't Change...

Aug 15, 2008

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.

Photoshop :: Save As Action / Resize One Image To 4 Different Sizes

Aug 10, 2012

I am trying to resize one image to 4 different sizes. So far I have an action created to do all of this, with only one minor problem. Whenever it saves the images, they are always saved as the wrong file name. I was wondering if there would be a way to keep the original file name, but then add a suffix to it- all within the action.
 
If it's not possible to automatically add a suffix, how do I keep the original file name when it's saving within the action?
 
I found an older post (URL...) that was very similar to what I'm trying to accomplish, but the question was never fully resolved.

Photoshop :: Save As Folder Pathname In Action Not Stable

Nov 13, 2013

Basically, my action processes a picture in different ways and saves each version in different folders within a main folder on the desktop. The action works fine but as soon as I rename or delete the main folder, the change is reflected in the action which forces me to re-record the "save as" parts of it. I would like to use the same folder structure since I have duplicates of it. 
 
Is it something new in PS CC or specific to the Mac OS (Maverick)?

Photoshop :: How To Create Action To Batch Save Multiple Photos

Apr 18, 2013

I have Photoshop CS6 and I'd like to know how to create an action to save multiple photos in a batch command. I've been searching the Web, but I haven't been able to locate anything useful on this (except one article for CS5). Seems a bit odd. Anyway, I already know how to create an action, but what I'm stuck on is having the action pause and open a dialogue box so I can do things like name a photo, choose the size I want in the Save for Web dialogue, etc.

Photoshop :: Recording Save For Web In Action Still Doesn't Work Properly In CS6 13.0.1?

Aug 31, 2012

There is still an issue with making new actions that include saving for web. While recording the action, save for web functions as it should. But once the action is played, regardless of the original format the saved image should be, it gives it an html filename extension.
 
[URL]
 
I have spoken about this bug with a friend that is a computer programmer. Considering that the action is saving the file correctly, and it's only the name that is not saving properly indicates that this is a superficial error, and not an issue that would require rewriting the code completely. Also consider that this WAS functioning properly in CS5, and that this is a very easily reproducible bug.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
