Photography competitions often have specific requirements for digital entries in the form image size limits. As a member of a photography club I wanted to have a script that would allow me create entries for these type of competitions with the correct sizes by just choosing the name of the competition. The "Save Small JPEG" script does this for me and a bit more.
Use this script to create a reduced 8bit sRGB JPEG copy of an existing image. The new JPEG is saved using settings which you refer to by name, making the process very easy.
This script is useful in these situations like these:
The script follows these steps to process an image: duplicate, flatten, convert to sRGB, resize to size limits, convert to 8bit, export as JPEG to specified location.
Works on Windows and Apple Mac.
Works on Windows, presumably works on Apple Mac.
In CS2, there are two minor issues with the Edit Preset dialog box:
Not tested, hopefully works.
This script was created for the benefit of photography club members but anyone can use it, at their own risk, if they make a donation to a charity of their choice. Commercial users need to make a donation and send an email.
You may only use this script if you agree to the terms of the license which is available in the PDF documentation and embedded in the script itself.
The script and documentation is contained within the zip file. The zip file includes an installation script for Windows XP.
If you are not using XP, follow the instructions in the documentation to manually install the script.
The script is preconfigured with settings for our EDI competitions and gallery. Open your image, run the script, choose the purpose e.g "... - competition", then click Save Now. Choose your folder and enter the image name and click Ok. Your image is created according to current requirements of our competitions.
You could distribute to your members the xml settings file preconfigured with your own competition requirements.
