Custom Save Actions (JPEG)
Hello there,
I am having a hard time with a job I have now, there are about 2200 jpegs that I need to insert a logo into, that is not a problem, because I have made an action that does that for me, the problem is that when the batch processing the JPEG Options dialog pops up for almos every image in the folder. I have been looking for an answer to this problem and I found that if you add the production set in the actions panel there's one that says "Save as JPEG medium".
Does anyone know how to create or modify that in order to make a "Save as JPEG high"?
Thanks in advance,
Cërf.
PS: Q is Urgent

Easy. Go to that action (uncheck everything but this one - I did) and hit "record". Then, go and save your stuff. Hit "stop". Now, in that action, you got two "save"-s. uncheck original one, and play it. I t will go now with your settings.

Hi Cerf:
I think you already know how to make the action but you would like to make save all your image in high quality instead of medium, right?
If so, I suggest you to create recreate the action and choose the image to save in high quality before you finish your action. When you will next time run your action with batch mode, it will follow your custom action & will save all images in high quality.

rsdn says virtually same thing...
>> Go to that action (uncheck everything but this one - I did) and hit "record".
I was referring to "save medium" action in "Production" set. U, probably, should uncheck all other actions in the set.
>> Then, go and save your stuff. Hit "stop".
I was assuming that you have selected "save medium" action, and, while it is selected, clicked on "record" button in actions panel. So now you go an "save in high quality before you finish your action" (rsdn) - and "...hit stop" (me)
>> Now, in that action, you got two "save"-s. uncheck original one, and play it. I t will go now with your settings.
You see, "save medium" action can be expanded further: it contains "flatten image" and "save" originally; but now there will be second "save" - the one you have recorded. so, uncheck original, and "save medium" will now proceed with your settings.

Sorry, it did not work for me...
I did get the JPEG options dialog and set it to high but after hitting "rec" but it did not save my settings, it just recorded a plain "save" in the action. DARN!

it should say which settings it saves with... if you expand "save", you'll see text describing settings it applies.

Sorry andyetanotherloginname,
But the save action didn't work, althought I followed the steps on George's advice and they solved both my problems exposed in the Q's, I mean, it was the same problem but two different ways to look at it mainly because it was REAAAAALLLYY urgent, thank you all anyways,

In Cs3 and probably lower versions there is a "done" button in the save for web dialogue box that prevents you having a path issue when batching.
