Thanks to finding a nice little Photoshop tutorial that solved one issue I had with rendering large images for web for my current client (especially since 'Save For Web' previews images before you save them, and the time cost is bad enough (My computer's been starting to show some age), especially when it stacks up). Especially considering I have tons of them I need to process per-week. I managed to save a good 15 minutes so far in my overall processing time, since a programmed action bypasses the preview process, and skips straight to saving with the settings applied. That's good enough on it's own (though inconveniently, it saves with whatever kind of name setup you give it; but there's a slight workaround with that)). However...
I just realized/remembered that I can further add to that action, further automating it so I can cover even more ground, saving even more time, allowing for more processing of images to be done with minimal sacrifice. Since a few color changes to be saved individually is basically all I really need to worry about, it's nice and simple; though naming the images is a tad off; but with
Rename-It, and a special naming convention (thank you regular expressions and the like), I got that already covered, chunks at a time (per-logo, basically). Naturally, I'll have to sacrifice a minor chunk of time for the first lap per-template to make it work, but after that, the efficiency markup will likely skyrocket from that. So instead of another 15-minutes being saved, I can save somewhere between 20-40 more minutes (half-that to be more realistic/pessimistic).
I wrote myself a reminder with instructions to follow when I get to work on it tomorrow. I'm determined to keep this job, and it paid off. This will very likely work. Considering I have to cram a bunch of image output in such a small window of time, this will be a major boon, for myself and my client. I want my Christmas (*cough*Steam*cough*) money.
EDIT:
Set it up, applied it, did change around on the manual parts. Works like a charm, and narrowed down even more time. HUZZAH!
