Batch Process in Photoshop - Override JPEG Options Dialog Box

Batch processing in Photoshop can be a real time saver, but of course it's a sheer waste of effort if you have to press 'Ok' after each action is completed. Which is what happens if you are saving .jpg files, because a .jpg save action dialog box pops up.

I couldn't find an answer to this, until I did some googling and looked up Adobe Help. Here's how it works.

1. First off you need to include Save As and Close in your action. [Remember to use Save As and not Save, or else it would not work].

save_as_action

2. Next, when you are creating your Batch process, tick the Override Save As options checkbox. Voila! No more JPEG options.
