Based on some preliminary manual testing, I've found that exporting as png-8
as one might expect provides significant file size reduction. One of my test images went from 58.8 kb
to 10.7 kb
.
With a delivery size of around 1 GB
, my graphics package needs some trimming to make it play nicer, both with remote secured asset deliveries and for better performance in a low-storage embedded environment.
I want to roll this approach out to exporting all my images in my delivery to png-8
. The problem is I have been unable to figure out how precisely to do that.
I tried record an action. I created a new action set, created new action w/ my template file open, select Quick Export to png-8
in the File
> Export
menu, I click save, click "Yes, overwrite existing file", then Ctrl+W
to close. Stop recording.
When I try to run this action set on a directory of images, going to File
> Automate
> Batch
, it opens them and closes them without saving.
If I select Save & Close
in the circled box in the Batch
dialogue, it seems to be saving them, but just as normal png
files, not png-8
:
It's interesting to note that my Export
performed during the record period of the action does not seem to be noted in the Actions
pane:
Expanding Close
I see saving: no
which is technically true... as I exported, not saved. But there's nothing there about the export.
My PS is PS CC cloud, version seen below (Windows 7, 64-bit):
How do I get the Batch
process to:
- Export to
png-8
. - Automatically confirm overwriting the existing
png
during this save process. (I will be always overwriting the existing copy.)
Thanks!
