Grayscale batch conversion in photoshop?

I have 300 images that I want to convert to grayscale. I've messed around with actions and batch conversions in Photoshop CS2 a little, but can't figure this one out. I have an action set that does the following:

-image%26gt;mode%26gt;grayscale

-save

-close

How do I make it override the existing file, and not ask me what quality of jpg (1-12...and I want 10)?

Thanks for your help!

First off, edit your action so that you are saving that first file (the one you recorded as the action) as jpeg with a quality of 10. Then the following process will work.

If you are using photoshop CS2, I assume that you also have Adobe Bridge. Open up bridge, select the appropriate path and directory, then select the pictures you wish to edit (ctrl+click), this is much easier if they are all in the one directory. Then select Tools%26gt;Photoshop%26gt;Batch.

This will open Photoshop and the batch window.

(Same as File%26gt;Automate%26gt;Batch from within Photoshop, which it sounds like you are already using, doing it from Bridge allows you to select individual files, instead of a whole directory).

Select your action from the drop down menu, leave source as Bridge. Select your destination folder, file name convention, and tick the box for 'Overide action "save as" commands'.
