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 :: Action Outputting HTML File Format

Mar 29, 2013

I had an action set up in CS5 that I used to create different size versions of a file.It involved pasting a full size image into PS, then running the action to create two smaller sizes.
 
I updated to CS6 today, lost my action , and whenever I create the same action in CS6 instead of overwriting the existing set of .jpgs in the target folder, it's creating html files!

Photoshop :: Action To Save File Overwrites Existing File

Nov 18, 2012

I did a search around, and did not find the answer.  Basically I have attempted to create an action in Photoshop CS6 which will save a file in the tiff format after i crop the image.  I want the file name to be the name of the image (which is supposed to change depending on name of the image) like this:

1280x720_MGXXX.tiff, where, in my case the XXX represents DIFFERENT NUMBERS.
 
I want to apply the action to one image at a time. Each image has a different number (name). I record the action, add the 1280x720 text to the image name in the Save dialog.  I am saving the image in a different folder from the source file.  The source file name is _MGXXXX.tiff (again XXXX is a number like 2220...).
 
When I run the action on a file, say "_MG2221.tiff" it adds the 1280x720, and saves the file.  When I apply the action on the next file (_MG2222.tif), the action overwrites the existing file, 1280x720_MG2221.tif, with the image.  The action always uses the name I entered in the Save dialog!!  I think I was able to do this in CS4 and CS5. 

I want to be able to open a file, crop and adjust it, and then save in a diff location with 1280x720 pretended to the file name.

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 :: Best File Format To Save As?

May 5, 2009

I have a Nikon D70 set to RAW file. This creates the files with .NEF extension. I'm sure you are aware that ps can open this type of file, but cannot save as .NEF . My question is really what is the best alternative?

I ask this because when printing large pictures (30"x20") that I have edited, and saved as jpeg the image quality is comprimised and 'grainey'. Is there a file type that will not compress the picture and keep the original clarity?

Photoshop :: Unable To Save File As Tga Format

Apr 20, 2012

I am using a licensed version of Photoshop CS5, already updated to the latest patch. However, for some reason my copy of Photoshop seems to be missing the option to save a file as .tga.
 
From reading multiple forum posts relating to Photoshop, the function to save as .tga should already be built in, and not require a plugin.

There may also be some other missing file formats that I am not aware of.

Photoshop :: How To Change Save-to-web Action To Not Overwrite Existing File

Aug 30, 2013

Photoshop :: Modify SAVE Dialog File Format Options?

Oct 4, 2012

how to modify the options in the save dialog?Every time I save a file and have to choose the file type, I have to scroll through obscure and obsolete file types. Sure, I might need someday to save Scitex CT, or Photoshop DCS, but the chances are very slim. Some people surely use PIXAR and TARGA, but I don't. What the hell is an IFF? If I ever need a Portable Bit Map (really?) file it would be great if I could find it in a user defineable option pull down. I can pretty well guarantee that the file types I need are PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and once in a blue moon, GIF.

GIMP :: How To Save File In JPEG Or PNG Format

May 16, 2013

For some reason Gimp 2.8 forces me to save in xcf format. Most times I want to save a file in jpeg or png format. Having to save as xcf, and then export to jpeg or png is a pain in the unmentionables. Especially when reopening the file for editing, requiring another pointless dance with the export system.

Is there some module, upgrade, improvement, fork or other means by which export is merged with save/save as functionality, thus removing the additional steps in the process of saving a file? Ideally it should involve nothing more than hitting Ctrl S for an a file that already has a name. Put another way, something that works the way everything else does.

GIMP :: Change Default Save As File Format

Jun 12, 2012

Is there a way I can change the default file format from .xcf?

For example, I open a jpeg, crop it and try to save, but if I then try to save it as a jpeg I get a message telling me I have to 'export' first.

I know the Gimp isn't Photoshop but in Photoshop you get the option to choose the file extension at save or save as without the added step of exporting.

Is there a setting somewhere that allows me to choose as this messing around exporting from .xcf is a real drag when you're editing a lot of images. Plus you can end up with extra, unwanted, .xcf files.

Is there a reason why the Gimp defaults to .xcf for every file edit? It seems unneccesary when all you're doing is a simple crop etc.

Again Photoshop opens, allows edits and then saves in the original's file format, which does make for a more efficient workflow. Plus it doesn't default to .psd for every edit.I'm using Gimp 2.8 with Fedora 17 64bit and will now boot into Windows to work more efficiently in Photoshop till I can find a way to change this in Gimp.There doesn't seem to be anything in Preferences relating to file formats/extensions.

Illustrator :: Setting Up Action To Save Files In CS4 - File Saving Without Extension

Sep 4, 2012

I'm trying to set up an action to save a batch of files I creating using the variables tool (as detailed in this video: [URL]), I'll go into the Actions window, and record myself  saving the current file in .Ai format, and then stop recording. Seems pretty simple, but when I set that action to run a batch on my dataset it saves all the files without an extension. Am I missing another step where I set the file format that the action is supposed to save with? I'm confused. I've tried this using a few different file formats and they all come up the same.
 
this is what my Output looks like:

Illustrator :: When Record Save For Web Action - Export Artboard In 3 File Sizes

Oct 4, 2013

When I record a save for web action that exports my artboard in 3 file sizes. 100%, 200% and 400% it works for the first few files.

Then suddenly after a while the first export changes its width and height from 100% to 111%, but not just 111% width and height equally. No it pulls it out of proportion too.
 
When I manually enter 100% again it all pops back to the correct aspect ration.The 200% and 400% still behave as expected.
 
If I rerecord it it starts working again. But that defeats the purpose.

Photoshop :: Modal "File Save As" Action Ignores...

Aug 25, 2008

I am attempting to execute a set of actions containing two "Save" commands. The first works fine while the second does not. (The destination folder is ignored and the file is saved in the same folder as the first Save.) The only difference I can see is that the second "Save" is modal and the other is not. The fact that the destination folder is contained in the action makes me think this ought to work and I'm missing something obvious.

I have a JPG of the action set but I can't see how to attach it....

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 :: 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 :: Stop Action In Save For Web

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.
