To make it short I have to produce 3 files from one photo:
A - For the Web (as the one above)
B - For the books (no name)
C - "Clean" picture (just the image)
How am I doing this ?
I built 3 Actions in CS4: A, B and C. Each of them generates a JPG placing them at folders A, B and C.
I then made a Droplet in CS and placed it in LR.
It works. :cheesy:
So far so good.
It works nice ! :cheesy:
But I have seen that the final file is generated too quickly:shock:
Yes, and what do I mean buy "too quickly" ?
I tell LR to export the file through the Droplet/Action.
At once I go and look at the Finder window where the file it is about to be born.
I can then see that a file is generated and LR makes the sound of "I have done the file you asked" but CS keeps it's work. I can see it.
May be a small advantage of a slower machine...
I can even see that the initial file, the one which has just been generated, is substituted by a new one with the requested criteria (canvas and all that stuff).
I decided to post here this issue because I suspect the file is saved twice
And that, I don't want, oh no
However, I have told CS to place the new file in a folder, which he does. But, working throug LR it is possible to overcome this command and place it in another folder with even a different name, which can't be done in CS.
Well, but that is a more difficult issue to explain.
What am I missing here ?
Can I keep using the Action through LR or is it better to export the file to CS and start from there ?
:mrgreen:Thank you people.:mrgreen:
Too complicated to explain. :roll:
I have done the best I can. I can try again in case I have done it wrong.
