.JPEG to .PNG in Fewer Easy Steps?

[Meevious 0]

Hello,

 

I've been a heavy user of this great software for years now and it recently occurred to me that I spend a huge amount of time editing .jpeg files and saving the result as .png.

 

Just wondering if anyone here knows of any way to save time resaving as a different filetype (The fastest way I'm aware of is to Save As, then find the desired filetype in a dropdown menu).

 

Automating it would be fantastic, but if there's a keyboard shortcut or something, that would also be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

There's no setting to change or anything, but Ctrl+Shift+S will bring up the Save As... dialog box so you can change the filetype quickly.

I found a good batch editing software. You can do a whole folder at one time.

Thanks for the replies, I do use ctrl+shift+s already, which indeed, cuts the time in half.

 

Looks like handling them in bulk would be the way to go, except that I'm usually only working with a few images at a time and I find it very useful to keep them in order of acquisition.

 

I downloaded the tool regardless, because I bet there will be some occasions where it's just what I need.

Another possibility is to edit your images, put the flattened images on separate layers (in one file), then run the layer saver application
