    adobe photoshop/imageready save in subdir

    How can i create a droplet that will save the optimized file in a subdir of the original folder?

    i want to have a droplet that will create thumbnails for my galleries, but it only wants to save the files in the same folder, not create a subfolder and save it in there..

    if anyone could help me with this, i would be most grateful!

    thanks,
    nat!

                      This is the only task I use Fireworks for.

                      Spend you some brain.

                                      Photoshop batch processing has improved in the new CS version. It's still not as good as Fireworks in this respect.

                                      Spend you some brain.

                                              not quite an answer but...

                                              I use ACDsee to do all my batching...

                                              if i need to re-size, rotate, optimize .. etc say 1000+ pics ...

                                              1) open ACDSee
                                              2) select all pics
                                              3) hit edit > optimize/rotate/whatever..
                                              4) select whether i want it to over-hahahahaha, rename, or place new files elsewhere..
                                              5) let it crunch... couple minutes.. done

                                              not quite "batch" .. as in creating a que txt file... then letting it run thru all jobs ... but still better than nothin.. and it's real fast

                                              hope this helps..

                                                  Oh, okay, i could install acdsee, it's not 500mb like fireworks...

                                                  But can it run throwh subdirs as well? so i could makr c:\tgp\ and it would read all the subdirs and create thumbs in them, and create a new fold in each dir named thumbnails where it would output the created thumbs? thats the gold question!

                                                                  i want to have a droplet that will create thumbnails for my galleries, but it only wants to save the files in the same folder, not create a subfolder and save it in there..

                                                                  if anyone could help me with this, i would be most grateful!

                                                                  I am away from computer with PS, so this is from memory.

                                                                  Key is to create the batch with "override" set for file open and close.

                                                                  I think with the droplet, you would then just drag it to the target directory.

                                                                  Hope this gets you going.

                                                                      Looks like you have two options:

                                                                      1) Files are saved in source directory, meaning you overhahahahaha the original unless the save is to a different format/ext

                                                                      2) Hard code a constant destination directory.

                                                                      You could hardcode a work-in-process directory, and manually move to the final directory when done.

                                                                      Cheers
