Ok, i've setup an action to compress an image as a jpeg at 60% or whatever. I'm using this action in a batch of random images I've downloaded from misc sites.
Is there anyway I can have photoshop only compress the image to 60% only if the filesize will be smaller than the original? If this isn't possible with photoshop, are they any alternative apps that do what I'm looking for?
I would normally just move layers over....but now i'm working with 200 jpegs...and I need them in one psd...they are all the same size...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been saving bulk images from Bridge using Batch process. What I would like to do is when the image is automatically saved as a JPEG. I want them to be saved as a (6) medium. However, they all seem to be saved as a (12) large. I then open each one and re-save.
Is there a automated process?
I have assembled a wholel lot of scanned pages from my sketch pad into one psd file. That file has guides which I use to register and align every page (each page is therefore its own layer). Is there a way I can make an action and save off each individual layer as its own jpeg? I set up an action but I don't know how to get photoshop to save it with a distinct namespace. The first action I set up basically prompted me to re-name each layer as I saved it, which isn't really saving time. What I want is for the action to start at the bottom layer and turn off the visiblity of all the layers above it, save the visible layer as a jpeg with a name based on the layer and then turn on the next layer's visibitlity and repeat, until all layers have been saved.

I need to move through each one of these layers, making only one and the background visible, then doing the same for the next, and saving each out as a separate .jpeg. I know how to batch process the jpegs giving each a different filename, but how do I move through the layers?

So I am looking to convert them to a Baseline format. In Photoshop, this conversion is done through the Save As dialog. However, I dont know of a way to create an action to do this without saving the file name in it. I want to keep all the pics the same file name that they are currently (..there are a ton of them already indexed in an XML feed so..).

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhenever I create or open an image in PS it looks great. It's clear and great quality. If I save it as a .jpg, it still looks great. But when I save it as a .gif the image loses a lot of quailty. I have my Indexed Color set to the following:
Palette : Local(Selective)
Colors : 265
Forced : Black and White
Dither : Diffusion
Amount : 75%
Usually I have the palette set on exact so the .gif looks identical to the .psd But in some cases it won't let me save it as exact but in some cases it will.
I need to get the following image down to 7KB and the best I can do in CS is 19KB - does anyone know how to further decrease the size of this animation?

Here's my challenge. I've got this image, as you can see it is solid white, and solid black only. This is going in some kind of program that needs it to be 200 PPI AND only12Kb or less AND if has to be a tif.
My dad works there and he sent me a file that is 10.8 Kb, PPI, and is 7.9" x 3.5", and it was (Bitmap)
So I changed the information and when I save it, the smallest I can get it to be is ~20Kb.
Â
What I've tried so far:
Save for web as PNG with 2 colors, reopen it, and save that as .tif.
Change it to Grayscale, then save it with JPEG
Bitmap and Compressed with LZW
Bitmap and Compressed with ZIP
Bitmap and Compressed with NONE
I even tried saving it as .25"x.125" but the file size stayed about the same.
Â
Should I be using another program or is there a way to do this in Photoshop?
I am running Photoshop Elements 7.0. I am unable to 'Save for Web' Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S to compress my file to 40 KB.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been experimenting with using Gaussian Blur on uncompressed TIFF images. The TIFF images consist of scans of printed images with a screen ruling.
Â
I've been noticing an 8x8 blocking artifact when compressing the blurred images to JPEG's. (The reason for not using the scanner's Descreen feature is so that I can selectively blur.)

Here, a JPEG without prior blurring appears on top, and a JPEG with prior blurring appears on the bottom:Â
Would blurring the JPEG, instead of blurring the TIFF beforehand, be preferable?
I have 200 thumbnails i saved as .jpg and they are all 4kb each in size. They are tiny though (only 100x100 pixels)
Do you think I am able to bring down the file size with another file format? Or compressing it some way?
If so, any advice would be great... I'd like to make it as fast to load as possible.
When I record in 720p @ 30 FPS my raw files are usually around 30-35kbit rate, however whenever I compress the videos they seem to drop to around 18k bitrate which really put my videos below the standard I want. I've tried to add my own compression templates but whatever I do, I can't seem to get any of the compression options above 20.000 bitrate.
I have tested with Sony Vegas and with that I can pretty much choose myself what bitrate I want it to be. Although I know Corel a lot better and its easier for me to do what I want with it.
- How can I compress my files with higher bitrate? I want it around 30.000k.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a hard time finding the right compression ratio for online images. My graphics always end up too large without the quality to match.  I haven't had luck exporting from Corel Draw to a JPEG, so I usually save my CDR file, open it in Corel Photo- Paint, and save as a .jpg from there. I always play with the Compression and Smoothing values in the Export JPEG screen, but I think I'm missing something.Â

I have a huge file that I am working with. I keep getting fatal errors. I am trying to make the file size smaller. Within the file there are 1836 layers, I am trying to reduce that number greatly.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I have an action that I've been using for the past couple years (?) now that involves opening an image, applying an auto color and auto levels, saving and closing. This has been working for me since probably a couple years ago when I made the action. Yesterday, I was working on a scanning project where I have groups of images in separate folders. I ran the action on the first 2 folders which went fine.
When I got to the 3rd folder all the way up to the last one, PS just loads all the images, does the levels and color then fails to save/close them when done. On one of my folders, it gets through a few of them when it drops the ball and just opens all of them. I'm not sure what's going on as there's no real explanation as to why this is happening.. especially when I've been using this action (and I even made a new action with still no luck). Last week I had about 300 images I had to work with and PS decided to pull this move on me after doing the first 30 of them fine...which is when I first noticed this happening.
Â
To further add, I set my action to show everything step by step and it seems to happen with select images (in some cases, these select images are entirely what is in the folder). With the select images, it is not doing the actions entirely in order. Typically it does it in this manner:
1-Levels
2-Levels
3-Save
4-Close

What I'm now experiencing is this:
2-Levels
1-Levels

I sometimes have probs with JPEGS saved in PS, when sent to customers, they cannot open them (sometimes). I used to resave i microsoft photoeditor

I have a tiff file of a painting I scanned at 300 dpi. It's original image size when I open it is photoshop is 57.8 MB, 18" W by 12.477" H, Res 300. I need to resize it and send it as a 300 dpi jpeg. I have started in the image size dialogue box and just change the W to 11.25. That automatically changes the H to 7.798 and the res still says 300. The file size reduces to 22.6 MB. I click ok and then go to save as and choose jpeg. In the jpeg box I chose 12 Max and baseline standard and click ok. The saved file is reduced to 8.5 MB. When I open it in photoshop, it opens at 300 dpi when I look in the image size box. However, when I send it to someone else and they open it, the file is only 72 dpi. What am I missing to get the file to save at 11.25 inches, jpeg, but remain 300 dpi?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIf we convert a color image set at 300 dpi to grayscale and save as a jpeg, and place in Quark Xpress, the image acts as if the resolution is set at 72 dpi. (In color, it acts as if it's 300 dpi.) If we save it as a grayscale TIFF, it acts properly as if it's 300 dpi.
Â
Is this a bug, a "feature!", or can we change a setting? Is this only true for use in Quark, or do other have this issue placing images in different programs?
I am in the process of editing photos from our old website to be used on a new website. I am finding that half of the photos I have will not open in Adobe Photoshop. The error message reads: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found."

I set levels in photoshop and then when I open them on my PC in Windows picture viewer they are much lighter and overexposed looking. How do I set up my photoshop CS2 to be at the same level.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just installed an Epson 7900 printer, but I cannot get a printer dialogue (File > Print >) to come up with a PSD or TIFF opened in CS4. Oddly, it only opens with a JPEG! With a PSD or TIFF I get the message "To perform printer-related functions like page setup or printing a document you must first install a printer." An Epson tech told me I would likely have to reinstall Photoshop. This is the first attempt to print anything from my relatively new PS CS4 software. Note: I was able to run a test print from Lightroom 2.0. CS4 also apparently fails to find my HP LaserJet and an HP all-in-one inkjet during these times.

How can I disable that in CS2 (if possible)?
I know that there is some loss of detail when a file is converted from a RAW format into a JPEG file due to compression of the file. What I didn't realize (based on what I've read and am being told) is that the quality of my original JPEG file can slowly degrade simply by opening..saving..and closing the file becaue each time you save a JPEG file, it recompresses the current data...which causes the file to loose additional detail.
