Photoshop Batch question...
miklad (118 points) | Thu, 2009-03-12 09:27Right - here's one for all you CS3 fanatics...
I have a folder of 1,221 Illustrator line drawings (at 300dpi cmyk) that I need to convert to 72dpi rgb jpegs for the web. The tricky thing is, I need them saving to a different folder, but keep the same name (ie: BW001, BW002, BW003 etc...).
I've set up an Action to: open the files @ 72dpi rgb > flatten > Save as.. (choose new folder...) - and this is where I'm stuck!
When I run the above action, it opens, flattens ok but saves them ALL over the first one it does (ie. all I end up with is a folder containing one jpeg called BW001.jpg).
Hope that makes sense.
I know there is prolly a simple solution to this (I'm usually pretty good at this kind of thing), but it's Wednesday morning and I can't think straight. Call it designer's block.
Anyone got a solution?
Ta in advance!
(Hey, this beats all them crap 'How to burn a DVD' threads doesn't it?).

Tried that - but I still just ended up with one file!
Actually - I think I've sorted it - Scripts>Image processor. Seems to work fine!
Thanks for the input.

Yeah.
It just kept overwriting the first file tho.
Sorted now tho, cheers. The Image processor in Scripts did the trick.

w/o looking too much in depth at your problem (and even though you've solved it for now), i'm betting dr brown's photoshop tools might do this for you very well. we use them for converting large batches of photography into multiple resolution files in multiple folders.
