Bridge CS3 - Batch Save as?

[MBX]

Anybody know if there is a batch save as option in bridge?

i have 20 .psd files that i really don't want to manually all export as tiffs from photoshop. And i can't find any batch option other than "batch rename" (but that's not it) or under tools where the closest i could find is to save as pdf.

How come it's not a little more straight forward or if there's no such option at all it's a big bummer, because come on, it's the 21st century and one might believe cs3 would have this option.

And if not, anybody know a way to do it with automator (batch convert or save .psd files as tiff files)?

Help apperciated

Do your batches from Photoshop. Set up your action and then File>Automate>Batch.

It's pretty straightforward if you read the 'Help' menu.

Here's a good how-to link.

thanks, but i've been in that file-automate batch section. i don't think it's so straight forward at all! because i can't see how to make it batch save as tiff at all...

let me know if i'm missing someting but even in the link you provided in the screenshot there's only .gif and no other formats available, other than pdf in a dropdown menu above.

You are completely missing something. You have to create an action first, as stated in the link I gave you.

A ten second search of this forum reveals many relevant threads, including this one.

Don't criticise a piece of software until you know what you're doing.

You can actually do this through Bridge as well without creating an action.

You need to have Photoshop and Bridge open. Then in Bridge go to Tools / Photoshop / Image Processor. A window comes up and you can pick location, file type (jpeg, psd, tiff), and even run an action through it.

Hope that helps too. But Blue Velvet is correct as well. That's the beauty of these programs....so many options.

this is so strange. i did the image processor through bridge yesterday and the dialog window that came up looked totally different and didn't have these options. but now it works.

thanks again
