Photoshop Action Needed to Reduce Size

Roos50 · November 1, 2009

I have just joined Smugmug and discovered that the photo uploader does not reduce the size of my images. I am a sports photographer and typically have 150 - 200 images to upload. Is there a photoshop action that someone has which will reduce the size of my images to speed upload but still have acceptable images for Smugmug? :dunno

Perhaps the Batch Image Processor built into Photoshop would be best for that.

Alternatively, Dr. Brown's 1-2-3 Process, part of Russell Brown's Services for Bridge/Photoshop?

Here's a screenshot of an action I use to do the same thing;

I convert it to sRGB from whatever profile it's in. Note that when you record the script, you should be in a different color space, otherwise the convert won't happen.

Here's the JavaScript:

var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS

var docRef = app.activeDocument

var imageResolution = docRef.resolution
var imageHeight = docRef.height
var imageWidth = docRef.width

if (imageWidth < imageHeight) //Portrait
{
newWidth = 800
newHeight = (newWidth/imageWidth) * imageHeight
}
else // Landscape
{
newHeight = 800
newWidth = (newHeight/imageHeight) * imageWidth
}

docRef.resizeImage(newWidth, newHeight,imageResolution,ResampleMethod.BICUBIC)

preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit

You might want to tweak it a bit,
