Photoshop Script Needed ... Badly!

Hey guys (and gals) I am in a desperate need of a Photoshop scipt. I've searched several places and can't find what I'm needing. What I need is a script that will convert .tiff images to .jpeg using the save for web function in Photoshop. I tried using the image processor but the file size is still a little big. I also tried using a couple other programs like Irfan but they dont produce a clear crisp image like Photoshop. Id appreciate any ideas or suggestion; I have about 1000 images to do. Thanks in advance!

Are you opposed to running an app developed by a complete stranger? I have no clue on how to write photoshop scripts, but I could code up a quick c# app.........

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.

hey that did help. how hard would it be to add another function in there that made the image size 100 x 100 max then save it again as that file name plus T.jpg? it would be a very handi thumbnailer.
