fucking retared Photoshop, why i long ago stopped using it for batch watermarking - but today i didn't want to use a seperate watermarking program so I tried using Photoshop.
here's the issue, i'm opening photos in Photoshop, wanting to watermark them with a logo using PS's batch processing feature and an Action. So I record an action - watermarking with a logo in the corner and then saving using 'Save for Web'.
I have all my open files and go to File-->Automate-->Batch - source is 'Open Files'
then for Destination i choose 'Folder' and create a sub-folder I want these watermarked photos to be saved in. There's a checkbox below with 'Override Action 'Save As' Commands' - I check the box because I want to put these photos in the sub-folder I've created NOT the folder I used to save in the Action. I run the batch and the photos end up in the folder used in the Action, NOT what I wanted. So I start over and make another Action, this time leaving out the 'Save for Web' stop hoping that Photoshop will put the photos in the Destination folder I chose in the Batch screen. No workee - because I've left out the 'Save for Web' step in the Action when I run the batch Photoshop pops up a box to save the images one by one as .PSD's.
So what I'm left to conclude is that I have to change my action for each set of photos I want to save in a sub-folder of my choosing. That's just fucking retarded, what's the point of this Destination folder crap in the Batch Processing screen if the only way to batch save jpeg's in a destination folder of your choice is to record it in an action?
Am I missing something very obvious here?
