I did a quick search, found a script, and adapted it for what you described. It'll probably run faster than the action and batch solution, because this is just a javascript file. Just save the code below as a .jsx file and in Photoshop go to File > Scripts > Browse. Select the folder where the TIF images are and let it run. It will also process subfolders.

There are a couple of settings in the script that you can customize:

SaveForWeb(saveFile,60); <-- You can change that number to whatever JPEG quality setting you want

var saveFile = new File(decodeURI(activeDocument.fullName.fsName).slice(0,-4) + "_web.jpg"); <--- This appends "_web.jpg" to the file name, change this to whatever you want, just make sure ".jpg" is at the end

Code:

var imageFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder with TIFs to process");

if (imageFolder != null) processFolder(imageFolder);



function processFolder(folder) {

    var fileList = folder.getFiles()

     for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) { 

                var file = fileList[i]; 

                if (file instanceof File && file.name.match(/\.tif$/i)) { 

                        open(file); 

                        var doc = app.activeDocument; 

                        var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits; 

                        var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits; 

                        app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; 

                        app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS; 

                        var saveFile = new File(decodeURI(activeDocument.fullName.fsName).slice(0,-4) + "_web.jpg");

                        saveFile.remove(); 

                        SaveForWeb(saveFile,60); 

                        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); 

                        app.preferences.rulerUnits = strtRulerUnits; 

                        app.preferences.typeUnits = strtTypeUnits;



                } else

                if (file instanceof Folder) {

                        processFolder(file);

                }

        }

}



function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {

var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();

   sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;

   sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;

   sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;

   sfwOptions.optimized = true;

   sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality;

        app.activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);

}

Hope that helps.
