I made a script to convert my 50000 rvb pictures in cmjn !!! but when come the step "save as" it ask me the quality I want (you know 0 to 12...)
Does somebody know how to automatize this step too because I don't want to click for each picture it convert...thanks

Hey Forge,

Here's an analog solution to the problem. First, assuming that you want the same settings on all the images, adjust the settings as appropriate for the first one (so that it'll be the same for all subsequent files), then find something kinda small and heavy and tape it in place (or prop it up) so that it's holding down the "enter" key. I've used this trick before and it seems to work just fine.

Hi there. I made a similar script to understand what U wanted. I think the trick is to use SAVE instead of SAVEAS. It think PS will add COPY to the filename when saving in jpg. To further easy up the filehandling U could then set one folder for originals and one for the new files (this is done in AUTOMATE - BATCH). Also see too it that PS is set to append fileendings (under edit-prefs-dilehandling).

Also for a job that big, filenames may be similar, further messing up everything. For that job of renaming filenames I recommend a prog called DROP RENAME (its for mac).
Good luck :D
