I'd like to run a batch job on a directory of photos that will resize the images down to 550px wide and then save them to a lower quality, ideally for the web. I'm running into two problems creating the action:

1 - the 'save for web' command wants to stick the saved files anywhere but the original directory. I just want to edit the original file and save it in the original directory, but it doesn't seem like that's possible.

2 - even using the save or save as commands creates an issue, since it keeps popping up a dialogue box asking me what quality I want to save the image as, waiting for my ok. I'm running this on a directory with several sub-directories, housing all together about 4,000 images, so hitting OK for every image isn't really an option.


any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you click on "File >> Automate >> Batch" there should be a dialogue box, which lets you choose the destination file and also override the "save as" commands.
