batch processing in photoshop. help?
-
let's save i have x no. of images (true number is 5 digits and counting).
i need an action that will
1. open a file in this folder A, -> 00001.tif
2. apply a set of actions to it
3. save file in folder B
4. open next file in folder A -> 00002.tif (or 0000x+1.tif)
repeat.
i'm not sure how to make it open different files.
i have no problems with 2. as for 3, it usually doesn't save in a seperate folder or name, so what i usually do is copy all the files into another folder, and use save instead of save as. -
hmm good question... i've been doing my actions for creating a border around my photos one by one.... open, action, save.
if it's pure batch resizing, then i use acdsee....

Create a new folder and set the destination options to that folder when you do the Batch Processing.
Is that what you need? -

Erm......
Record your actions first.
your action must have a close command and save as command, preferable with your settings.
You're done!
Set up a output folder.
Okay. the tricky part is whether to check the Override "Open" action command or the close command.
Anyway, just try and see what happens.
Successful senario: Photo 1 will open and be processed. Then closed and saved. Photo 2 will open......
Tip: To save on RAM. Reduce the history state to 1. That way, actions can only allocate so much to RAM only. -
huh?
how?
i just tried. the open command opens that specific file only. -
so how? does it work? i also wanna learn leh.

Sorry ya... I was Busy with work but I figured I spend sometime to put up this visual for easy understanding.
Hope it helps.
Yes, you need to RECORD a ACTION first in PS before you execute the Batch processing.
In PS, go to ya ACTION Palette and make a new ACTION. Nvm if it's in the default ACTION Folder in PS. It will prompt you to click RECORD. Click it, then open up the FIRST image.jpg in that SOURCE Folder. Now, Select Save As(keep in mind what you wanna set for cos this will affect all images in that folder). If you wan to save as .tif from .jpg.... make it so. Then after, Close the image(Do So). Followed by clicking the STOP Button in the ACTION Palette. Yeh, you are done with the ACTION!
Now, follow the Visual I provided below for the Batch settings.
Remember to select the same Folder with all the images inside. If you are afraid things gone wrong... put in some images in a new folder and make another action from there.
NOTE: The ACTION will only applies to that steps taken I explained earlier on. It wun run properly if u applies the ACTION on another folder. This probably explains why ya ACTION runs only the same image over and over again.
Click OK button and u are set!
Let me know the outcome. You shld be fine. -
oh silly me i didn't know there was a batch button, i thought everything was done from the actions palette!
thx!!! -
