Question

Save As Jpeg - Quality Dialog Box - How to bypass?

Hello, I am currently working on an e-commerce site and I need to edit all the product photos myself. So I created myself shortcuts and macros to save time. Save As option is assigned to my mouse side button. After editing a product, I open the save panel with one click, paste the name I previously saved from excel with ctrl+v and select jpg. I hit enter and save. It would be perfect if this process progressed so quickly. But with every recording, jpg's quality dialog pops up. If I want to act fast and press OK, I can ignore 8 levels of quality and approve, even if I look carefully and confirm, it's a waste of time. I wonder if we don't have an option to cancel this dialog box? I want to record all of them at 12 anyway, why does it make me have to choose one by one?

I always choose 12-Maximum-Baseline("Standard") as shown below.

I use Windows 10 - Photoshop is up to date (not Beta).

    You can record a Save action at a certain compression level. Then it's set in the action and the dialog doesn't come up.

     

    Actually, "quality 12" defeats much of the purpose of jpeg. It is still irreversibly destructive, but the file size is considerably bigger for no particular visual advantage.

     

    There is no such thing as "maximum quality" with jpeg. It destroys data at any setting.

     

    Most people find 8 - 10 the best compromise. Load times matter for an e-commerce site.

      Thank you for your reply and time. 😊 I actually have a Save As action like that. I don't know if it's allowed to share links but this is the Action and Script I use. With this, I just put the transparent image and change the name of that layer to "ExampleProduct" and when I click F7 it saves ExampleProduct.psd as transparent, ExampleProduct.png as transparent, and ExampleProduct.jpg with white background in 12 quality. But this was for another project. To create an action for Save As, we have to add javascript code as Scripts so it can get the name from layer. I was hoping to avoid writing the code part and hopefully find a feature but I guess I have to do it that way.. 😓
