How do I create an action that saves files as JPG in the same folder?

Hey folks!
So I'm sitting at work, trying to optimize my workflow a bit..
What I'd like, is a droplet, that will allow me to open PSD's and save them as JPG in a new folder inside the original folder.
Like the Image Processor that makes a new folder named 'JPG' but without opening the dialog box and having to press buttons.. Drag-drop-done
Sitting on Imac with OS X 10.10.2 with Photoshop CC 2014.
Hope you can help
Regards
Emil Rye

Use scriptListener to create the code for adjusting the hue. find the line in the code that denotes the change in hue replace that value with a variable that stores a random number:
var rangeForRandomNumber = 200
var offsetForRandomNumber = -100
var randomNumber = Math.random() * rangeForRandomNumber + offsetForRandomNumber

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
Without free hand creating the sizing?

Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document. This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

Hi JC_AUS,
Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.

How do I create an action to save as, but into a different folder than the one I used to create the action?

I am having an issue with my action being created to save under the same folder that my action was created with. For instance, I opened an image, recorded the action, then I went to a different folder to play the action, but it saves to the previous folder. How do I add some way to change the folder I want my pics to save to?

If you want to give Scripting a try paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
// saves jpg into same folder;
// be advised: this overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
// 2010, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
// getting the name and location;
var docName = thedoc.name;
if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
else {var basename = docName};
// getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// jpg options;
var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpegOptions.quality = 12;
jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
//save jpg as a copy:
thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/'+basename+'.jpg')),jpegOptions,true);
//that’s it; thanks to xbytor;

How can I create an action that uses "Find and replace"?

Hi there,
I'm trying to create an action that will use "Find and replace" to change certain words and phrases in my .psd-files. These are words and phrases I change a lot (I'm translating emails and website banners) and I would like to speed up that process using actions.
When I tried to create the action I got the error message "The object "in contents of all text layers" is not currently available".
Then I tried "insert menu items" and chose "Find and replace" and then did my change, but then it stopped when the FAR-window popped up. That's what I want to skip, so it just changes my words and phrases that I want.
Is this possible?
Best,
Carl

Anyway, in the Script in that other thread the function replaceText takes two Strings, so something like
function main () {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
replaceText ("replace this", "with this")
would be a possibility.

How to create a proxy that accept requestes get/post in the same time?

Hi everybody,
I have two questions with Service Bus 11gR1.
I have to create a proxy in https that accept request get/post in the same time, also this proxy should be able to recognize the common name of the certificate.
Is it possibile?
Thanks a lot.
Ettore

The approach I mentioned is part of correctly configuring client cert authentication. For client cert authentication to succeed weblogic expects the user derived from the certificate by the user name mapper class to exist ( just exist , it wont check the password) in its security realm. The problem you have mentioned is common for any type of 'authentication' and not just specific to this approach.
The user name mapper class can be configured to accept any attribute in the certificate DN as the mapped user. Since the thread starter is interested in CN, then he has to set CN as the mapping attribute.

How can I create an action that dynamically appends the filename, when saving?

I have created a batch file that watches a folder for .jpgs. When a jpg is found, it runs a Photoshop droplet that resizes and exports six different sizes of the same image, then closes the image. This all works fine, however the step I am stuck on is getting Photoshop to dynamically rename the files. What I mean is when I drop in a file named something like filename.jpg, I want the images to be named according to the width of resize. Exported files should be filename-1400.jpg, filename-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg, etc. filename2.jpg would become filename2-1400.jpg, filename2-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg. As it is now, Photoshop names the files the same names I saved them as, while creating the actions.
I am using Photoshop CS6.

What OS and verson of AI? Along with what Myle said, in the Actions panel is a column which allows the dialogs to be turned on/off. Make sure this is unchecked at all levels of the Action.

Make photoshop action that saves file with specific filename

Is there a way to make a photoshop action that does a SaveForWeb, but adds text to the original filename when saving?
For example, if I open a file called "coverPage," and I want the action to do SaveForWeb as a JPEG, can I have it save as "coverPageWEBVERSION"?
Thanks for your time and help

No this is one thing you will need scripting for.
They really should have introduced some modification to the Save dialog that allows file naming additions or modifications triggerable within actions. But they never did.
As a workaround, Bridge is a good tool for renaming, because naming convensions can be SAVED and quickly applied to groups of files. Not often known fact - On a mac there are also OS scripts that can do the same thing. There is a script called 'rename items' hidden away somewhere. This is accessable by Control or right clicking on a group of files, and going through the 'automate' submenu

Simple button action that goes to a page within the same doc

I can't figure this out. I have a button I want to use that takes a person back to the first, or second page of the same doc. It's a catalog section with a table of contents. I need to make links for the pdf that takes people to certain pages within the same document.
In the Buttons panel, I see how to make the button, but when I assign an action, the only choice that makes sense is "Go To Destination", but I don't get or see any way to choose "page 2" of the document, or another selection method.
I did this before a few years ago on hundreds of pages, and when I open those old documents up to copy/paste the same buttons, they don't even appear to have actions on them anymore, as if it never happened.
So, what's the secret? Certainly there's a way to link to another page in the same ID file, no?

Finally figured it out. I do NOT use the button panel at all. No buttons needed. Just select the grouped object that I want for my button, and hit the "add hyperlink" button in the Hyperlink panel. Then choose "Page" from the menu that opens up and be on my way. What was throwing me for a bad loop, was that I had copied and pasted the button graphic form another document. Well, since the link made previously was broken now, I had the red flag in the Hyperlinks panel...and thus, the "new hyperlink" button was greyed out, sending me in circles. The minute I deleted the old hyperlink it carried over from the old document, the new hyperlink button worked again and all was well.
Thanks.

How to fix wireless apple keyboard that ceased pairing with imac at the same time the keyboard on my ipad2 disappeared right after I updated osx vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple

I updated to OSX vs. 10.8.5 sent out by Apple on Oct 4,2013. My wireless
Apple keyboard is no longer paired to my imac and at the same time I noted that the keyboard on my ipad2 no longer exists. At first I thought it was an icloud issue but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.

I downloaded 10.8.5 Supplementary and this time there was a picture of my keyboard with the suggestion that I power it on, which I did many times. Finally re-booted my imac and shut down BlueTooth on my ipad. I now have a keyboard back on the ipad and my wireless keyboard on the imac is working.

Is there any way to tell "Create MP3 Version" where to create the files other than in the same folder as the songs you want to create the mp3 versions of?

I am trying to get MP3 versions of my non DRM protected songs onto a DVD so I can import them into my cars "Music Register".
There is no easy way to do this that I can see in Itunes . I follow this process..
Highlight the songs I want to copy in Itunes
Select Create MP3 version from main menu
Open up Finder Window showing the Itunes folder with the m4a and MP3 files newly created..
Go Up a directory or 2 to get the Artist 'folder'
copy that folder to my external drive
Delete the MP3 songs from the Itunes folder (I dont want duplicates showing) obviously
Delete the M4a songs from the external drive....
I have about 5000 songs so doing this manually is clearly a complete pain.
I dont think you can force it to create the mp3 files anywhere other than in the current folder in itunes unless someone tells me otherwise
More likely does anyone know of any other software to do this with less effort...
I confess to not being an Itunes fan at all I admit but I like the Match functionality so I keep it otherwise I would cheerfully chuck it in the bin...
Thanks in advance...

It appears I have figured it out. You gotta go down to where it says Destination and tell Lightroom to Organize into One Folder.

How can I load and process an HTML5 file with Javascript in the same way as an XML file?

I maintain a diary in local weekly files that I am converting to HTML5 from XHTML. I wish to extract all the "articles" about particular topics from these files and display them in different orders. It is possible to load an XHTML file using the loadXMLDoc function described at http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_loadxmldoc.asp but the same function detects a parsing error when it reads an HTML5 file. (For example, the parser expects an empty element's tag to end with />). How do I persuade Firefox 16.0.1 to use an appropriate parser?

How can I create a calculator that save result in memory and recall it back

What trouble are you having? Is it not compiling? Throwing errors? Not doing what you expected?
Also: Use the "CODE" tags when posting code, it makes it much easier to read.
Lastly: Find a specific area in the code you're having trouble with, and ask directed questions about that specific area.
