Help! Photoshop for web - how to save same image in a bunch of smaller sizes without degrading the original
I've used the desktop version of Photoshop for basic to medium tasks for years, and exported images as a bunch of different sizes for different uses all the time, but the web version seems to have hidden this functionality. Searching doesn't turn up exactly what I'm after, either.
This is what I want to achieve:
I have a source, hi-res(ish) image, let's say 3200x1800 for the sake of argument. I want to save it as smaller files for web, avatar, banner, whatever, but without resizing the original. I used to be able to export it at, say 1600x900, then another file at 800x450, then another at 400x225 etc, all the while leaving the original in its 3200x1800 glory.
I'm sure Adobe Photoshop Web will let me do this, I just can't find out how for the life of me. The 'image resize' tool obviously resizes the original image, which I don't want; and the 'Save As' and 'Export' functions don't have resize options any more.
What do I need to do? Pointers to instructions gratefully received. This is clearly user stupidity...
