Script to take original image and save out different sizes.

Report · Feb 11, 2009

Mac/PC Javascript Photoshop CS3

Here is a request I got from another client and I think it should be doable with Photoshop scripting but just need to know if it is doable (im pretty sure it is). Also I am willing to commission this out to someone if interested.

Files to start with are style#.jpg (i.e. RE1803.jpg)

They are large jpegs with various heights and widths

They want to export these jpegs in 3 other sizes 600X600 (light), 340X340 (details), 135X135 (listing)

What needs to happen is a folder needs to be created with the name of the style number (RE1803) then the 3 new jpegs need to be saved in the folder so RE1803.jpg is saved as light.jpg (for 600X600), details.jpg (for 340X340) and listing.jpg (for 135X135) in a folder called RE1803.

Since the sizes of the original jpegs are all different I guess we would need to find the longest side and then scale it down to 600 pixels then add canvas to make it a square 600X600. Then it will be easy to export the next as 340X340 and then 135X135.

Also it would be good if the script could be run both one at a time and maybe also on a whole folder of images if possible.

Would be great if I can get this done asap.

Thanks in advance!

From an AppleScript (mac) point of view yes your request is very "doable" Im a total beginner with JavaScript but I can't think of any reason why it would not be the same. If you want to run on either OS then a JavaScript solution is what you want.

All the necessary steps appear scriptable in JavaScript too.
There are a couple of pros frequenting this forum who, Im certain, could provide such a Script easily and speedily.

Whilst we are waiting for a pro this might fit the bill....

Now that makes me curious have You all struck it rich and (semi-)retired early or are You actually venerable old-age-pensioneers?

At sixtynine you could class me as an old age pensioner.

At 40 am I too old to learn, strike it rich and retire with a pocket full of beer vouchers?

Hi Paul,

I ran the script and it is getting stuck on line 137 SaveJPEG - error SaveJPEG is not a function.

Very sorry, I am going senile. I had it saving as a normal JPG but decided to change it to Save For Web and didn't change the single file saves. This should work now....
