TOPIC APPEARS IN:

Set output options

Output settings control how HTML files are formatted, how files and slices are named, and how background images are handled when you save an optimized image. You set these options in the Output Settings dialog box.

You can save your output settings and apply them to other files.

  1. To display the Output Settings dialog box, do one of the following:

    • When you save an optimized image, choose Other from the Settings pop‑up menu in the Save Optimized or Save Optimized As dialog box.

    • Choose Edit Output Settings from the Optimize pop‑up menu in the Save For Web & Devices dialog box.

  2. (Optional) To display predefined output options, choose an option from the Settings pop‑up menu.
  3. Edit each set of options as needed. To switch to a different set of options, choose an options set from the pop‑up menu below the Settings menu. Alternatively, click Next to display the next set in the menu list; click Prev to display the previous set.
  4. (Optional) To save output settings, set the options as desired, and click Save. Type a file name, choose a location for the saved file, and click Save.

    You can save the output settings anywhere. However, if you place the file in the Optimized Output Settings folder inside the Photoshop folder or in the Save For Web Settings/Output Settings folder inside the Illustrator folder, the file will appear in the Settings pop-up menu.

  5. (Optional) To load output settings, click Load, select a file, and click Open.

I need to automate my slice export process, but Actions don't record the output settings for each individual export. For example, I need to export the same image, 5 different ways with 5 different names, but Actions doesn't remember which output settings file I chose during each export, it just defaults to the last used (in both PS CS2 and PS CS3).

The best work around I've come up with so far is to make Actions prompt me when certain steps in my action set are performed (ie each time 'Export' is started, it stops at the Save for Web dialog box so I can manually change the settings). But this method is not ideal when we're talking about 500 images, which all need to be exported 5 different ways. :)

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
