Adobe Photoshop

Hi,

I love PS CS but since I edit 3-4 images for each product and thousands of products it is becoming more difficult to work with. I setup a batch to take my large image and resize and unsharp mask it into other sizes and change the extension. We put a -500(image size)-1.jpg after each product code. When I use their special batch feature it doesn't allow for me to change the quality of the jpg and makes it 100% everytime.

Any suggestions would be appreciated before I have to go and look at Fireworks. I can detail the process with screenshots if you need.

Get a copy of IrfanView - it's free. In it's Thumbnails application, you can select a batch of photos, then go to File, "Start Batch dialog with Selected thumbnails" - when the next dialog box comes up , you can set all kinds of options, one of which is the quality of the output.

Thanks. I will give that one a try.

Exif Harvester will do it, too. Like LNR's suggestion, both are free.

But I'd stick with Photoshop. Applying some USM after downsizing is important, and makes a great image stand out from a good one ... processing wise.

If you can't get it to save 100 % quality jpegs, have Photoshop save lossless png files, then mass convert them after the fact.
