The batch processing you can find under File->Batch Conversion This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.ītw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download It's too slow.Īnother issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required.
That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:įolder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work. But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView.
