We looked at some of the more important options in the previous tutorial in this series, Essential Photoshop Preferences For Beginners. There's general display and interface settings, tool settings, file handling and saving options, type settings, scratch disk settings, plugin options, and more. The Preferences file is where Photoshop stores many of its performance settings. It means that the Preferences file has been damaged and the information inside of it is messed up. I don't mean it's been accepting bribes from shady business associates (or at least, we haven't found anyone willing to talk). It DOES NOT mean that all the files will get saved to the destination specified in the action with the name specified in the action.Is your copy of Photoshop acting strange? Panels or menu items disappearing? Tools misbehaving? Chances are, the problem is that your Photoshop Preferences file has become corrupted.

Ignore the stupid messagewhat it means is that if the action doesn’t have Save As steps recorded, the batch won’t save any files. Then Choose Batch, load the action you just recorded, specify the destination folder, make sure that "Override Action "Save As" Commands" is checked, and optionally, enter any batch renaming you want done. So, record the action with a Save As step that specifies the JPEG settings you want (I usually record it to save "Foo.jpg" to the desktop so that I can easily toss the file afterward.) (Or, if you don’t specify file names in the Batch dialog, the original file names. When you run a batch with "Override Action "Save As" Commands" checked, the batch uses the file format and file format options recorded in the action, but saves to the destination folder specified in the Batch dialog, using the file names specified in the Batch dialog. The documentation and prompts on this feature are hopelessly misleading.

If you’ve recorded your Save As step in the action without specifying a filename, the droplet will save it to the same folder each time but will use the filename of the document being saved." If you’ve done this, and have Override Action "Save As" Commands off, the same file will be overwritten each time. Note: You can record an action that saves with a specified filename and folder. Note: No matter how you’ve recorded your action’s Save As steps (with or without filename specifications), if this option is selected, the file is saved to the folder and the filename in the droplet.ĭeselect Override Action "Save As" Commands will save the files processed by the droplet in the location specified as the destination in the Create Droplet dialog box. This is useful for saving documents with options not available in the droplet (such as JPEG compression or TIFF options). If you select this option, the action must contain a a Save As command, because the droplet will not automatically save the source files. Select Override Action "Save As" Commands if you want the Save As instructions from the droplet instead of the Save As instructions in the action.

Select Folder to save the process files to another location. "Note: If you selected the Save and Close option, you can select the "Override Action "Save As" Commands option." This option causes the droplet to override any action Save As commands and saves the file back to its original filename in its original folder. Here are the difinitive instructions from the Photoshop CS help files: But I am still going to try your create droplet idea, because the proof is actually in the pudding. After reading the help files below, I’m thinking that there is no way to save a jpeg to a different location, other than if you record a new ‘save to jpeg’ action with the ‘save’ to the new location you want.
