Save for web scripting

[matthewo27647447]

Does anyone have a readily available script for saving for web as optimised jpegs? i cant find one anywhere online, still learning javascript so would like to see how its done and then play around with it myself for a better understanding.

I've also looked in the photoshop documentation and cant find anywhere to script 'optimize to file size'? ideally i would like the quality to differ as i would want the max file size to be 600kb for example. is this possible? its possible if i manually saveforweb?

What exactly do you mean? 

»I've also looked in the photoshop documentation«

Did you find this page?

hi!
yes thats the page i was after, so in the saveforweb dialog box, you can save the image at a specified file size, this obviously determines the quality (0,100). The scripts intention is to save maybe 150-200 images per day and they cant really be above 700kb each as theyre used for ecom purposes.

That’s not in the DOM, as dar as I can tell. 

Does it produce identifyable AM code with ScripitingListerner.plugin? 

Otherwiese the Script would probably need to itterate through quality settings, check the size until it hits an acceptable one.

I've not used that plugin, I'll have a go and see what it brings up. thank you for the replies!

You’ll

Sorry, mis-click on the previous post … 

You’ll need that plugin when the DOM doesn't suffice.
