−
 
+
−
• If the “Save As” step in the action contains a filename, this name is overridden by the name of the document being saved; all “Save As” steps are treated as if they were recorded without a filename.
+
−
 
+
−
• The folder you specified in the “Save As” action step is overridden by the document’s original folder.
+
−
 
+
−
Note:
+
−
 
+
−
You must have a “Save As” step in the action; the Batch command does not automatically save files.
+
−
 
+
−
You can use this procedure, for example, to sharpen, resize, and save images as JPEGs in their original folders.
+
−
 
+
−
You create an action that has a sharpen step, a resize step, and then a “Save As JPEG” step.
+
−
 
+
−
When you batch-process this action, you select Include All Subfolders, make the destination Save And Close, and select Override Action “Save As” Commands.
