/* Batch Save As WebP scriptUI GUI v1-6.jsx https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/export-many-files-at-once-in-webp-format-photoshop/td-p/13604411/page/4#U14859793 v1.0 - 14th March 2023, Stephen Marsh v1.1 - 11th January 2024: Added a "fit image" defaulting to 1920px step v1.2 - 10th February 2024: Added an explicit step to change to RGB mode v1.3 - 12th September 2024: User "filduarte" Added ScriptUI and user input for max image size, resolution and quality v1.4 - 13th September 2024: Added various GUI control options. All files saved as 8bpc sRGB, overwriting existing WebP files of the same name without warning v1.5 - 21st September 2024: Changed the dropdown to use label names rather than compression values as names. Removed the Save a Copy checkbox. v1.6 - 11th October 2024: Added dropdown menus to optionally run an action on each file before saving as WebP. Cosmetic GUI layout changes to reduce the vertical depth of the window. */ #target photoshop // Ensure that version 2022 or later is being used var versionNumber = app.version.split("."); var versionCheck = parseInt(versionNumber[0]);
