Question

Actions Not Saving To Destination Folder

I am using an action to save images at 70%.

When I try automate a batch, the images are processed, but are saved to the parent folder, not the one I specify.

(This used to work, but I can't figure out why it doesn't now.)

Thanks - I was able to get it to work by using the jpeg quality box and bringing the slider down to around '10.'

Save for Web in an action only saves to the destination recorded in the save for web action step. Automate>Batch cannot override that.

 

Much easier to use the Image processor Pro script which has a save for web setting.

Yes; save for web.

Are you using Save for Web in your action?

 

Could you post a screenshot showing the action steps?

I'm not on computer right now, but, as soon as I remember there's a check box at the batch window that you can select if you want to override or not the action save commands. You can choose to override the save options for your action and then set the current folder.

Hope it helps. 🙂

This option is checked, but the result is the same.
