@bryant_6120    I am not aware of any definitive guides, I would of course be happy to read some.   You can easily do your own tests, which often mean more as they are tailored to your specifics.   I started with testing a ridicuously oversized logo (6000px x 978px), just solid colours and text, no gradations. All tests were 24 BIT RGB. Results from highest file size to smallest size on drive:   AVIF (Lossless 445 KB) was the highest file size, however, there are many options to explore.   PNG (348 KB) and JPEG (max quality 323 KB) were very similar in size for this example at highest quality for JPEG. JPEG would become smaller if one drops quality. PNG would become smaller if dropping to 8 BIT, as there are less than 256 unique colours in this image, quality would not suffer.   WebP (Lossless 170 KB) and (Lossy, max/100% quality 175 KB) was around half the size of PNG/JPEG. WebP would become smaller if one drops quality.   AVIF (Lossy, max/100% quality 145 KB) was the smallest size on drive, would become smaller if one drops quality.   A quick test at a more reasonable 800px wide and the file size ratio was roughly consistent. ...

Although there are new file formats and options, the basics remain the same:   * Resolution: pixel dimensions need to be appropriate for the use * Image Content & File Format: Selecting the appropriate file format for the content (photos vs. logos for example) * Browser Support: Knowing your audience, what browsers/versions are in use may limit file format selection ...

Not for quality or accuracy, no. A selection can be converted to a path via the paths panel, but that's not likely to help you directly even if you were happy with the accuracy or quality.   An image or screenshot would help.   Although Photoshop has added various vector capabilities over the years, vector manipulation is still best done in Illustrator.   Ideally the shape would be edited with vector tools such as pathfinder rather than being converted to raster. ...

I'd just use Image > Image Size with the Resample checkbox unticked. Set either the width or height using the required physical unit of measure. The other dimension will resize proportionally. No new pixels will be created and you will then know if the native resolution PPI will be sufficient.   The issue with the place command is that it's an extra abstraction. ... View more

I can't comment on that error, it does sound like it doesn't like working on a "non-original" artboard.   You are indeed correct, the script is designed to loop over ALL artboards, not selected artboards.

Hey, thank you so much. Yes, each artboard should become a separate linked smart object. The idea is to extract the content of each artboard into its own .psb file, and then replace the artboard content in the main file with a linked smart object pointing to that .psb. I’d like all the .psb files to be saved in a dedicated subfolder next to the main document.  Appreciate any help if you get around to combining your scripts. By @arnault_6305   That's doable, I have a rough version in progress, I should have something for you tomorrow. ... View more

This is the sort of tedius, repetitive stuff that AI is well suited for.   I provided a single JSON example.   I uploaded your screenshot, with the unnecessary stuff cropped off.   I prompted to use the JSON example for structure populating new entries based on the screenshot.   The entire process probably took less than 5 minutes.   Here is the result ready to paste into your New Doc Sizes.json file.

I have two separate scripts that could be combined to do this.
