Create faster thumbnails in photoshop!
Author: 2nd bee | Filed under: photoshop, tutorialsare you in a hurry?
do you want to use some of those images you have processed as thumbnails? in a website maybe?
well… there’s a 3 min solution for that.
1. use the “ready made” automation in photoshop for making a web photo gallery
2. choose one of the albums from the style list on top of the options page
- choose the the folder for the source of the pictures
- create destination a folder and choose it choose
- chose the thumbnails option from the drop down list and then select a size, small, medium or big
- hit ok…and wait….
3. when all the thumbnails are done photoshop will open a html page with the web album that you created.
you don’t actually need that. close it and go to the destination folder that you’ve chosen. you can delete everything but the thumbnails folder.
in the thumbnails folder you can also delete any image but images named “back”, “next”, “up”, “down”.
in the next post i’ll tell you how i’ve used thumbnails to create a preloader for external images in a flash website.
Excellent idea! I was struggling on how to come up with good quality and KB size images. Do you know if there is a way to control height of the images in the Images folder. All of them come out at 350px wide. I’d like to set the height instead of all to 480px. Thank you. Great job!
hello Maar.
For your question.
You can set the height of the image in the options-large images to whatever size you want and then all the images will have the height you need. It’s the same as the thumbnails.
Thanks for the comment and see you soon here…
