Hi Graywolf putting real documents or images on the desktop is a bad habit IMHO. You should only have links/aliases there. As a rule you should separate programs and data files on different partitions . Windows and programs on c:, documents and images in different folders on d:. That way just have to backup d: and make an image of c: to d: with ghost or a similar program from time to time and burn that image to dvd. Of course you have to manually tell/force some programs like Outlook/Express or finance programs to safe data on d:
Your action does not sharpen the photos after resizing. I would do that as step 3. greetings Markus -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of graywolf Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 2:37 AM To: PDML Subject: Simplified PS workflow A follow up on my recent Save For Web thread. I did set up an action (turned out to be quite simple) to do the following: 1. Resample image to 72ppi. 2. Change profile to sRGB. 3. Change image to 8 bit. 4. Save for Web and delete modified image. To go with that I revised my workflow so that raw images from the camera or one of the scanners go into a Raw Images folder on the Desktop. I consider those to be my digital equivalent of negatives. Using Camera Raw I convert to PSD files which go into a PSD Images folder on the Desktop. These are the working images to be edited to final print form. Anything for the web is now converted by the action above and saved into a Web Images folder (also on the desktop). Which can be done by hitting <F12> on an open image or by running the action on the PSD Image folder as a batch and converting all of them. Once I am through selecting them the Web Images I want to use go to an appropriate folder in my Webpage archive to be uploaded, and the batch is deleted from the Web Images folder (remember it is as simple as hitting <F12> to recreate them). PSD images get saved to am appropriate subfolder in my Photos Partition, and the raw images get archived. Seems to be working well so far. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
