Photoshop action to export png using filename pattern (@2x)

Question

How do you create a Photoshop action to do the following:

1. Save for Web, at full size, using the (PSD) filename with "@2x" appended (and .png)
2. Save for Web, at 50% size, using the (PSD) filename (and .png)

So, if you are editing myImage.psd; you should end up with

• myImage.png (50% size)
• [email protected] (100% size)

Apologies if this question is amazingly simple or has been answered elsewhere, but I have yet to find a straightforward answer explains how to export to png using the iOS naming convention.

Thanks.

Answer 1

These guys made a great action set that does pretty much what you want.

I modified their version of the actions (JLRetinaPNGExport.atn) which you can find here. This action set comes with 2 actions:

1. current layer export as .png at 100% then 50%
2. merge visible and export as .png at 100% then 50%

Hope this helps
