Title: Save for the Web
Post by: twade on 2009 September 24 11:09:35

Dear PTeam,

It would be nice to have an option of "Save for the Web".  Basically, a "Save for the Web" would save a jpeg with a sRGB profile and a resolution of 72 dpi.  In other words, the "Save for the Web" would override whatever profile you have setup for RGB images.

Thanks,

Wade

Interesting. I've noticed that saving the image in a format that's suitable for publishing or post processing is a bit disruptive. I typically process 32 bit float TIFFs and then save to 16b TIFF for finishing touches in PaintShopPro. So then I have to do a save-as to image_16.tif for example. Now my original image in PI has a different name. That's no good.

So now I do:

- clone the image
- save the clone in the desired format
- kill the clone

This leaves the original alone. Adding an 'Export' menu option where we can configure any of the supported formats (including Wade's suggestion) would fix that. I think the 'Export' menu item is more generic than 'save for the web' but would accomplish the same thing.

Thanks for bringing this up Wade!

I guess that I could write a process that does this job...

And folks ask me why PI is 'better' than any other image processing program out there?

Here, with PI, you can make a request, have it discussed, agree on a reasonable solution, and probably have it coded up and released back to you in a matter of days.

Try and get THAT kind of service anywhere else !

I've been thinking about this problem, and I'm not fully convinced that a process is the proper answer... everything is already implemented, so it would be quite easy to create a new script... But, that would have the problem of batch processing... I'll make the solution tomorrow, either a module or a script.

Just to let you note that the process is almost finished. I'm having some coding problems, so I'll need more time (to ask for some help :P ).
