However, by using the Save For Web tool effectively you can reduce your image size with a minimal loss of quality. The higher the image quality the better you images will look. The smaller the file-size the faster you site loads for visitors and the less bandwidth you will use. If you run into any specific issues with newer version of Photoshop leave a comment.ĭisplaying images on the Web is compromise between Image Quality and File Size. I have left this tutorial active as it still seems to helping people out. Whilst the general principle (you can record “actions” and use the “batch” command interface to run them) remains the same I apologies if some of the screenshots/screencast are now out of date. I initially wrote this tutorial in 2011 - a lot of the specifics have changed since then. I would encourage anyone looking to improve the export workflow in coming versions of Creative Cloud to comment on the report within Adobe’s Photoshop Community forum so that it gets fixed.įor those users on Creative Cloud 2015+ please be aware that “Save For Web” has moved File -> Export -> Save For Web (Legacy) Web Pad v2.Photoshop CC 2015 introduced the much improved “Export As” output but bizarrely has excluded it’s use within actions. WARNING - Created and updated with AutoIt v3.3.0.0, so the script may have issues running or compiling with later versions of AutoIt.
Later versions increase in complexity, and are more targeted to my requirements. NOTE - If you want to keep things simple, then probably stick to the version of the program above, though there are some important bugfixes. NEWER VERSION (v2.5) also available - See below. NOTE - v1.3 has two more buttons (TAB and COPY), one each side of the ON TOP one. This could potentially interfere with any fancy multi-entry Clipboard program you may actively use. This is to speed up the process and look less clunky than using SEND. WARNING! WebPad uses the clipboard, to achieve elements like Case Change, Quotes, Code, Link & Tab insertion or surround. Text is exported to clipboard or an active field with a few clicks.
The program has Autosave and remembers it's size and position, plus a floating button for quick access. Source is included in zip, but be aware, it was crafted with AutoIt v3.3.0.0 so will need updating if you want to modify and not use my exe.Īlso be aware, that UPX was used to reduce the size of the EXE for here. No doubt it could be improved by clever enterprising minds, but it has enough nifty features to suit me, and possibly be useful to others. Here is a little simple basic Text Editor program/window, that has several advantages over Notepad for Forum posting, etc. unfortunately that is no longer the case. Once upon a time, when not tired, and with a big red STOP button in the browser, I could react quick enough not to lose everything. I also had an issue where my Netbook was giving my Mouse lag from time to time, so that when I thought I was only clicking on a Firefox tab, it moved at the last millisecond and I clicked on a button, that took me to another site. or like those two incidents, I was pretty tired as well. Sometimes, I forget or I end up writing far more than I initially foresaw. Normally, like many of you, when I know I'm gonna write more than a few lines, for safety, I do my writing in Notepad, and then paste into a post. Hi folks, this is a simple little program I whipped up, due to losing two postings in 24 hours some days ago.

It's made with English version of Photoshop CS5 in mind. It's very far from complete autosave solution, but covers the basics.
