When running a batch auto level/contrast on a folder it stops at the jpg quality save dialog box. What can I do to make it select 12 and close?

But, What in the world does it mean to save it before you run the aciton? That doesn't seem posible.

Dunno, but the Save as sounds hopeful.

what you do is run a photo through ALL the steps that the batched images will go through including save as and close. Then I would recommend choosing the destination folder option and select overide save in actions. Then have it rename and place it where you want the images to go, but it should remember the jpeg quality stuff.

Jeff's got it right... it's a bit tricky at first but once you get yer head 'round it...

as well when you want to change something in your action, double click on that part of the action while working on the first image. The dialogue will come up and you can adjust it. If you want to save Jpegs with a setting of 5 instead of 12 for example,.... rather than redo the entire action over again.
