I would like to take a folder of 16-bit images a drop them on a droplet that:
opens one file
duplicates file
closes original untouched
converts dup to 8-bit
closes and saves the file to a predictable location (perhaps a sub folder of the original folder)
with a predictable name, like "original file name_8bit"
then opens next file and repeats process.
Some of these files are over 2GB so the less open at the same time the better.
Does such and action/droplet already exist?
If not can someone tell me how to create one? My basic action skills knows how to open a file and run an action on it and then close the file, but the batch part where the droplet opens the file and saves it with the right name to the right location is beyond me.
Thanks
