Action question

[cathm]

I used your Damiens_web_actions.atn, to resize for web (2048 px width) but wasn't sure in what format i should save the file for my clients, who will most likely post the photos on Facebook and other social media.  Do I save as web? or PNG-8?   Thank you for your help in advance!

Also, if I want to make the logo smaller, how do I do that instead of using the transform tool to resize manually?

Do I click on "Select Free Transform Menu Item and record and resize and stop?

Always Jpeg.  Never PNG.

You have to start over completely.  Getting the logo the correct size is a crucial first step of the whole process.

Thanks Damien!   When you save as web in jpg, what quality do you save for Facebook post (for clients)?

That's a great question, @cathm.  I tend to use 11 on the 0-12 scale, or 90 on the 0-100 scale.

That's only for Facebook (because it is cruel to image quality).  For other websites, I only use 9 or 70 respectively.
