How To Save Jpeg Copy As Action

Hi - how do I create an action that saves my open image as a jpeg copy in the same directory as the original? Rather than save as export I am doing a straight 'Save As...' and then selecting the jpeg option. When you do this the 'save as copy' is greyed out. If I 'Save As..' but before changing to jpeg, whilst it is a PSD file I can select 'save as copy', then select the jpeg option. Whilst the box is greyed out it is still ticked. However it still does not save as a copy, but overwrite the original.
Any clues? Using CS5.

Hi.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+S (save as copy) when recording the action to add copy to the name.
There's an obvious one I missed. This solves a problem lurking in the action. Duplicate preserves the original name (plus "copy").  But the Save dialog will open to the spot recorded in the action. Not the source document folder. You might have to navigate to the right folder. So in this statement,
The file should be saved to the same folder...
needs a small correction. Change "should" to "probably won't".
Using "Duplicate" severs the ties between the original document and the copy. Alt+Ctrl+S retains that link and the Save dialog opens the right folder.  If your Save step isn't conditional, the new file will be named Original Name plus "copy.jpg". So the action gets really simple.
1. Ctrl+Alt+S. With Format set to Jpg.
Thanks, MTSTUNER.
Peace,

  • How to save jpeg as a copy in Elements 13

    Used to be able to save a Jpeg as a copy in Elements 9, but in 13 the tick box is inactive?

    Which operating system are you using?
    If you flatten the image (Layer>Flatten) before doing File>Save As>Jpeg, then checking Save as Copy can be checked and that should add copy to the file name.
    You can undo the Flatten after saving if you want to continue to work on the image.

  • How to save jpeg email attachment to iphoto?

    i'm an iphoto (and mac os x) newbie, and i can't figure out how to save a jpeg attachment that someone has sent me so the image shows up in iphoto. what is the easiest way to do this? i'm using apple mail and iphoto 6 on a macbook pro running os 10.4.5. although occasionally i'd like to save jpegs from my web-based hotmail account too. thanks
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The easiest way to do this in Mail is; next to the attachment field in Mail, you'll see Save & Slideshow. Use the Save pull down menu to "add to iPhoto" & the Slideshow is just what it says, it will do a slideshow of the photos in your email attachment.
    I don't use Hotmail, but I'm sure all you do is click on the image, File>Save>Desktop. From there you can drag the image into iPhoto. Or simply drag the image from Hotmail to your Desktop or directly into iPhoto.
    I hope that was helpful.

  • How to save JPEG files in PSE5.0 ?

    OK. newby Q again.  how the heck does one know what to choose when it comes to saving an image as a JPEG?  the following three boxes pop up:
    IMAGE OPTIONS:
    QUALITY>
    FORMAT OPTIONS:
    BASELINE>
    PROGRESSIVE>
    SIZE:
    up to 2 MBps?

    Generally, if you're going to archive your photos as Jpegs, you would want to save them in as high a quality as possible. This would be with the slider all the way to the right or number "12".
    Usually "Baseline standard" would be the way to go. This writes the photo in one pass to the screen.
    "Progressive" writes the photo in 3 passes across the screen, and is usually used for uploading and viewing large files within a web page.
    The "size" dialog box you're referring to, gives you the approximate time (in seconds) required to upload the photo with 56.6bps internet. (dial up) At least the time is referenced to dial up internet in PSE5. So the speed dialog box gives you this information, [1st]; size of photo (in KB) [2nd]; time to upload, (in seconds), [3rd], reference internet speed.
    If you plan on re-editing your photos at a later date, you should consider saving in a lossless format. Both PSD and TIFF file formats support saving in layers, and don't "recompress" the file each time it's worked on. "PSD" is Photoshop's native format, so it could be argued that this would be the better of the two. Since a scanner in "lossless" mode would save in TIFF, Photoshop would need to convert those files to PSD. A jpeg file would be better suited to a photo in which the editing process has been finalized, and is heading to the printer, or perhaps Aunt Martha in an Email.
    A final thought is that the quality you use to "jpeg" a file, and the file size itself, is largely purpose dependent. For example a photo that you intend to make public on "Flickr" should be down sized and and jpegged at medium quality. This in the event that the photo is downloaded, your work will not be at full resolution and quality, therefore limiting its usefulness to viewing only. In any event, a photo uploaded to the web absolutely should be a COPY, do not tamper with an original in the manner in which I've just described.

  • How to save JPEGs with a clean matte?

    From a cut-out image on a transparent background, I use Save for web specifying a black matte to create a JPEG. The resulting image has compression artefacts within the black matte around the image just the same as if the original image had a black background. I can then apply a mask channel copied from the orignal file to the JPEG and fill the matte with black. Delete the mask and Save and I have a JPEG with a matte free of artefacts.
    Is there a simple way to achieve the same thing and what's the point of the matte option?

    I am currently using .png files with transparent backgrounds and dropshadows. These are significantly larger (2x or 3x) than the equivalent .jpg files so the site loading time is also much longer but, of course, .jpgs don't allow transparency. My sites are in Flash which, via ActionScript, allows me to apply drop shadows at runtime to transparent images. It also allows me to create a transparent bitmap image from a .jpg by setting to transparent all pixels that have the matte colour. Unfortunately, as I described above, not all the pixels in the matte area will retain the matte colour because of the way the JPEG compression is done. As a result, the cut out image created by ActionScript will not have clean edges. I can fix this by the second operation on the .jpg I've described but this process is not easily automated in an Action and one site in particular involves a lot of images!

  • How to save JPEG from PS5 with a different DPI?

    I have a scanned image with DPI 4800.
    I have prepared the image for the printing in LAB, so I have tried to change image DPI to 300.
    In PSD file it works, the DPI was changed, but if I try to save the PSD as a JPEG file, the DPI in JPEG is not changed, or more precisely it is not set.
    Thank you for explanation.

    Why LAB? ...or do you mean "lab"?
    How did you try to change the ppi?
    If you have a PSD at 300ppi and Save As... a JPEG it should keep the 300 ppi.  Don't use Save for Web.

  • How to save jpeg files in iPhoto

    I would like to be able to make changes in Photoshop and then be able quickly save a jpeg file in my iPhoto library (Version 9). From what I could deduce, the only way to do this would be to save the file to my hardrive, then go to iPhoto, choose the import to library under the File menu and then locate the file I want to import. Is that really the quickest and easiest way to do this? Or is it possible to save the file directly to the iPhoto library from within the Photoshop program?

    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • How to save a copy of a file to different location using jfilechooser

    hi, this is ravikiran,
    In my project there is a situation where when a user clicks on some button, a copy of a file(which is initially in my project folder) must be saved to a location specified by the user.
    I have no idea how to do this using JFileChooser.
    help me,
    thanx in advance

    JFileChooser lets you choose a file. Once it's done you will have to program the copy function with womething like :
         public void copyToDir(String fileSource,String fileDest) {
              try {
                   FileChannel srcChannel = new FileInputStream(fileSource).getChannel();
                   FileChannel dstChannel = new FileOutputStream(fileDest).getChannel();
                   dstChannel.transferFrom(srcChannel, 0, srcChannel.size());
                   srcChannel.close();
                   dstChannel.force(true);
                   dstChannel.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
         }

  • How to save JPEG larger then 30.000px?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to Photoshop, so probably this is very or too basic for most of you. I just wonder what settings or option do I need to take, if I want to save my .PSB as a JPEG and want to avoid reducing the size down to 30.000px.
    Actually I do not care if some editors won't be able to handle JPEGs larger then 30.000px.
    I just want to produce one with 39.000px, and can't imagine PS won't allow me to do that.
    So what's the trick?
    Please help! Thank you!

    According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG)
    It supports a maximum image size of 65535×65535.
    So it seems you are right that Adobe’s limit is not implicitly necessary for the format.
    You could save a tif and open that in Preview (as you don’t state your OS I can just act as if you were a Mac-user) and save the jpg from there.
    Unfortunately the 30.000-pixel-restriction seems to also apply in Photoshop when opening and Indesign when placing files, so you may not be able to use that jpg in an Adobe workflow.
    Why do you want the image as a jpg anyway?

    Hi Kiran,
        You can use transaction 'SOST' to view the sent items.
        Enter your mail id in the 'Sender Tab', Enter the Dates 
        under period tab. Use 'Send status' tab aptly to view the sent
        mails.
        Alternatively, Why dont you give the 'user' email id in the
        mailing list along with other recipients so that the user can
        have the mail in his Inbox. For getting the User email id,
        read PERSNUMBER and ADDRNUMBER from USR21table
        by passing BNAME = Sy-uname.
        Go to ADR6 table, pass the USR21-PERSNUMBER and  
        USR21-ADDRNUMBER and read the SMTP_ADDR which
        will be the users email id. Include this Email id alongwith the
        email recipient list to recieve the same copy into your inbox.

  • How to save .JPEG Image on SAP CONTENT SERVER?

    Hi,
            I am working on online interactive form where i am getting scanned signature as .JPEG image that i want to store on SAP CONTENT SERVER. I am using webdynpro abap tool for application developement .
            Please guide me . Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    You can do it but there is one very critical exception to do it depending on the Webserver that you are using :
    1. Is you are using Sunone Webserver then you cannot install multiple instances of CS on the same webserver instance.
    And if using IIS then the only thing that you need to do on the webserver front is to restart the Webserver after the second instance is installed so that the webserver picks up the config entries made for the second instance's install.
    With Apache webserver you will have make the entry in the httpd.conf for the second instance as you had done for the first instance
    Eg for this is :
    This is my first instance:
    LoadModule IdcApacheAuth "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll"
    IdcUserDB cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/data/users/userdb.txt"
    Alias /cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/weblayout"
    <Location /cs2>
         Allow from all
         Order allow,deny
         DirectoryIndex portal.htm
         IdcSecurity cs2
    </Location>
    This is my second instance:
    LoadModule IdcApacheAuth D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll
    IdcUserDB idc1 "D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/data/users/userdb.txt"
    Alias /idc1 "D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/weblayout"
    <Location /idc1>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    DirectoryIndex portal.htm
    IdcSecurity idc1
    </Location>
    Hope this helps
    Thanks
