Title: Exporting Re-sized image as Jpeg from Photoshop
Post by: Jimbo57 on July 05, 2015, 04:43:14 pm

I use Lightroom (5.7) as the hub for all my photoprocessing. If I need to use Photoshop (CS6) or any of the Nik or Topaz plug-ins, I use them from within Lightroom.

So, when I need to export images as Jpegs for a competition, I hit the "Export" button, enter the image requirements in the Export Dialogue Box (let's say not more than 1400px wide and not more than 1050px high, sRGB colour space, not more than 2Mb file size, etc. (in fact I have User Presets for the commonly used exports).

To me, that is just so intuitive, simple and quick.

But I have now been asked how fellow camera club members who use Photoshop, but not Lightroom, can export Jpegs to those parameters from their processed images. Try as I might, I cannot find an easy and simple way of doing it. All I can find is an extremely convoluted "Image Resizing" function which will resize to the requirements plus a separate process to "Save As.." in which I could specify the output as a Jpeg file.

I am sure I am missing something very fundamental. Any clues?

Try the Image Processor or Save for Web.

Thanks Mark.

ALT+SHFT+CTRL+W   is- "File/Export/Export As"  in PS-CC

Choose JPG for export format.
   For a Horizontal Image- first fill the "Width" field with 1400 (Height must be within 1050)
   For a Vertical Image- first fill the "Height" field with 1050 (Width must be within 1400)
Then adjust the Quality slider until the file size is within limits specified.( size is visible in the image window.)

This tool is not ready for prime-time in my opinion, at least not for photographers. It strips metadata including copyright information and isn't color managed — it just spits out untagged RGB data without any option for converting to something sensible for websites like sRGB. 'Save for Web,' as Mark Segal above suggests, is a much better option at the moment.

But, since the original question is about CS6, it isn't an issue.
