what happened to "Export to Web"

Hi, I am now starting to find missing things that I used to live by under Photoshop CS6 that are no longer in Photosho 2023 (and the new Photoshop 2024)

I was for ever emailing small images from my vast range of posters to potention clients to select which ones suited the category they were after (have over 250,000 + Lost count at that)

and for me the quickest way was to export a folder as a "temp" web site to a new folder, using automate - Export to web. it was quick fast and I would have a few folders, such as small previews and scripts that I would trash and just keep the main folder of images I need all sized the same. loved it.

now I need to do the same, and it is a dame nightmare, thanks adobe... it seems Adobe Bridge now handles that and I am in a bind trying to set it up..

anyone have any clues ? please.

Regards, Sandy
 
Hi @nurgle / Sandy
I don't understand all of your requirements yet suggest that you consider looking at the following option. the result is a multipage PDF file with all the images sized as you wish as each page as a contact sheet.

First in Photoshop use the File > Automate > Contact Sheet II
With this command you can select a folder of images to create in Contact Sheet format. Each contact sheet created (assuming many images) will be created as a separate open document in Photoshop

The in Photoshop use the File > Automate > PDF Presentation and select all open files and appropriate options for you) and this will create a multipage PDF file.

With the above approach you don't have a lot of extra files to delete or ignore and just send the multipage PDF file to you clients. I don't know how many images you have in one folder so hard to know what issues you may have.

Just a a optional path to consider for your workflow

Hi, yes i understand what you are saying. but a PDF is NOT what I am after.. I am after separate Jpeg files. I just manually went through the folder, and exported each images individually as jpeg file, widted to 600 pixels, and it took me ages. where as before, it was only a few ky clicks and worked at lightening speed.

If you need individual small JPEG images of a fixed size, why not use File > Scripts > Image Processor
That can take as input a folder name (with options for sub folders), convert images to JPEG of the pixel size you specify and save the images.
Not sure about speed yet seems that is performing a very similar function that you seek. If not, probably more detailed specification of your user needs might help.
One more path to consider

i really miss export web gallery. it moved to bridge, and now, apparently, lightroom. such is life with adobe ;-(
 
to bestcpu.

Thanks for a great explanation of a part of photoshop I had not investigated.

I will now have a play around and see what results.

thanks again. much appreciated.

regards, Sandy
 
WOW.. Worked perfectly. I finaly have found back the functionally I had before. only problem is that when I type in a fixed pixle size I must type both measure ments... (before it would auto guess the other size if I types one, which is only a minor trivial problem)

thanks again for great help.

Glad that worked for you @nurgle / sandy
If you run up against any problems, there may be other possible workarounds so don't hesitate to ask.
