Keyboard command to select or scroll through to "optimized" in the Save As Jpeg dialog?

I typically use the Save as Jpeg "optimized" option, and I have to mouse over and click the radio button.  I've been researching ways to get that as the default option, rather than standard, but haven't found any.  I've also seen that on a PC one can use the tab or spacebar to scroll through radio buttons for a selection.  Tried that on my Imac and it doesn't work.  Is there something I'm missing?  I do this constantly, just trying to save a step. Thanks.  Julia

This version defaults the standard interface to use optimized and quality 10, providing flexibility to change values on the fly as needed (the previous script did not offer the ability to change quality or other values).

Stephen,

Thank you for this, but I think it may be over my head? Are you saying if I follow the above instructions, it will default to optimized?   I was hoping there would be a keyboard command to scroll through the options...easier to wrap my head around.  Sorry I'm a technophobe!  J

Yes, when run, the second script will default the JPEG save dialog to optimised quality level 10. You can change the settings on the fly as required. A different quality level can easily be set as default if you don't like 10.

 

The first script doesn't use the default interface, it only offers naming and save location prompts without the ability to change settings.

 

This is my solution as I can't offer what you ask.

 

You would run the script from menu, keyboard shortcut or action to replace the standard save steps. This does not change how Photoshop is programmed when using the standard save, you need to use the script.

Scripting would be my answer (sort of possible in an action with pretty major limitations). I'll post a script later when I have time, I have a couple that made in other topics that just need the parameter changed.

  1. Copy the code text to the clipboard
  2. Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not word-processor)
  3. Paste the code in
  4. Save the text file as .txt
  5. Rename the file extension from .txt to .jsx
  6. Install or browse  to the .jsx file to run
