[Solved] "Save for Web..." for BATCHES of images
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:11 pm
Dear GraphicConverter,
When editing a single image, GraphicConverter allows me to save the file for the web ("File > Save for Web..."). The options are simple and straightforward; "Scale longest side to...", "Sharpen __%", "Quality __%", etc. The options are limited, but they are wonderful; they are wonderful because the simplicity corresponds with what it is I am trying to do. On a regular basis, I need to import photos from my iPhone (heavy, high resolution JPEGs, now apparently HEIC files), and simply create lightweight web ready versions of those images, with a bare minimum of tweaking. All I want to do is scale them down, perhaps sharpen them, and set a JPEG quality level - and all that can be done with the "Save for Web..." option. My sense is that this type of image processing is quite common, since we can't all be emailing all of our friends and family members the original high res JPEGs that we have just imported from our iPhones. The images we share should be lightweight and portable, so that we don't clog up email accounts.
So my question: I would like to use this "Save for Web" routine on BATCHES of images. Is there a way for me to use this "Save for Web..." routine on a folder full of images? If so, how would I would I do that? Thank you very much for your advice.
Kind regards,
Phil
