Batch processing and learning actions?

Hello world

Some of you may know me from the Dreamweaver forum, where I am the unfortunate creator of this discussion.

https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/2153994

I'm virtually useful a newbie to Photoshop, as I the have not used since version 5, (i.e. 5 CS5 not) I use it since version 2 and I'm sorry to do this, I moved to Fireworks, and while I don't know how to use Fireworks batch processing, I have no idea how to achieve what I want to do in Photoshop.

Nancy O, suggested I use Photoshops 'action' to achieve my goal, so to that end, I was wondering if anyone could suggest for me the quickest and easiest for 'Up to speed' with the use of batch Photoshops / action.

All suggestions, be it video or written would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time

The plugin Image Processor Pro script is more powerful.  It may even be in steps of actions. The setting that you use in the dialog box save the scripts > PLC > Image Processor pro... step will be recorded in the action by the plugin script step.  When you play the Image Processor Pro script action will work around poster its dialog box and use the setting saved in step, unless you put on the dialog box in the action stage.  I have a single action has a length of Image Processor Pro.  This same test of the Image Processor Pro script save 9 jpeg files for each file processed image ration cropped and sized for the different aspects and dimensions of the screen I.

  • Batch processing with an Action

    Hi all

    I created an Action in Photoshop CS5.  I saved this action in a .atn file, then I loaded in the CORRECT for PES 10 directory.

    Once in PSE, I can go to the stock and I can see and use correctly said Action.  So I know it works.

    My question/problem: is it possible to batch processing using 'Treat multiple files' or something else using this Action?  I know there's the CS5 option is there and it is quite simple, however, I do not see this option anywhere in the PSE.

    I hope I'm missing something or there is just something I do not know.

    I appreciate any assistance.  Thanks in advance.

    You need to open the BatchWin, atn file located in (this is for win 7 and vista x 64) in cs5 (this are just actions that uses of elements to treat multiple files)

    (do not forget to put a copy of the original file somewhere in case you need it)

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Photoshop elements 10\Locales\en_US\Support Files

    Then add the steps in your action to the list, without any opening in the action and you will need to add the record at the end of the action (the format you want to save the files in).

    Then, save the game and put it in the folder of media files.

    added action example:

  • PS CS4 - how to perform batch processing which includes 'save' step and saves all the layers in PSD?

    I created an Action in PS CS4 to apply NIK Color Efex Pro4 to a JPG image, adjust the opacity of the layer CEP4 to 50% and then file > save as to a file in PSD format in order to keep the CEP4 and background layers in PSD format.  It worked well with the image that I was working in the creation of the Action - reopening of the PSD file, it showed the two layers as I wanted.

    But when I opened then four other JPG images, went to file > automate > Batch and applied this new Action to all open files, recording in the same folder as the original image, when I created the Action, all the PSD files created by the process of batch contain only one layer (Layer 0).  How can I me Batch process and always the CEP4 and the background of the layers in the PSD file?

    I swear it worked in the past, but I must be missing something.

    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    See if implementing during a stage of duplicate layer in the dispute before the color efex pro stage of the work.

    1. you need not "\n" on your orders println().  This command adds an end of line character already in the message.

    2. you get the error because you have a loop around your reading.  After the first reading (well technically, the second because of you add an extra line end character), there is nothing left in the port.  As a result, you will get the timeout.

    3. you should really consider using a Structure of the event.  This way you just don't write and read when you press the Write button and you can also use the structure of the event to make the loop to stop.  I also go up to close the port inside the stop-> value Change event.

  • LEARNING OF BATCH FILES AND WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ' C:\DOCUMENTS'__

    Technical info: Windows XP Pro SP 2. Microsft Office home and Student 2007. AVG Free 9.0.

    Hello

    I am trying to learn the basics of Batch files and am confused right now. I can get a. BAT file to produce a BACK screen and play with some commands, but when I try to get a. BAT file to open a MS Word 07 Doc I get the following message

    Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents '. It stops at Documents. When infact the entire address would include Documents\testdoc or something else. I use Notepad to write the. BAT files.

    If I go into the file target itself and copy and paste the address in XP search utility, it locates the file (with a full name), instantly. But if I do the same copy and paste, paste the address directly in. BAT file for example: C:\windows, DEPARTURE etc etc... It is just straight up with the above mentioned error message.

    All advice forge kindly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to learn how to create a Batch file that will erase the files in different directories about five or six on the click of a button.

    Thanks Mick.

    I'm not an expert in writing .bat files. If no one else is here, you should post on the MSDN forums or there may be a group of newsgroups for .bat file writing.

  • Is there an easy way of permutation of batch process chain?

    I create an IR time-lapse, and I need an easy/effective way to exchange the red/blue channels and do a few other things in Photoshop before transferring to Lightroom to finish the job. I know that you can batch for recalibration and whatnot, but it would really help if you could batch process basically everything that you have done in the history of an image in a set of 300 + and press 'go '. Anyone know if this is possible and how?

    Do an action that uses the channel mixer adjustment to apply the swap to channel, and then use the batch processing command to apply to your images folder.

  • Automate (batch process) other than the default list?

    I really admire the batch process feature that allows me to automate functions. The problem is, that I want to do something with a single page PDF that isn't on the list; Save as TIFF. It is very common in my work environment and time consuming. Anyway to automate that does not involve a feature request?

    It seems to me that the equivalent feature in Photoshop (Record) is much more flexible.

    Of course, it is available. In Acrobat Pro XI add a Save command to your Action

    and then click on specify settings and select 'export files alternately.

  • Batch processing - metadata "add a comment"?

    Greetings,

    You use Acrobat Pro in batch processing Word documents, it is possible to add a comment (all at once, to all of the documents being processed) on the 'properties' of each document?

    We review the documents several times a year. I want to add a 'review' to each document (metadata) "Properties". I would do this in batch processing so that people actually look at the documents having to open each document properties and add/change the date.

    The review date doesn't have to be visible on the document itself, but it should be in the metadata of the document.

    Thank you

    Tim Kern

    It is possible to convert Word files to PDF using Action in Acrobat Pro and Actions include limited ability to change metadata (property to add a custom value, you must manually recreate the XMP data using a JavaScript function).

  • Images of different dimensions of batch processing

    Hi all!

    I tried to do for a while and I'm stumped, so I would like to know if it is still possible. I'm trying to understand how to create an action that...

    • Takes a jpg file
    • draw a shape
    • mask of the image
    • Adds another form

    So that I can batch process a ton of images.

    I managed to do something like what I'm after, but the thing I have a problem with, is that the original images will be have different dimensions.

    I have attached a picture for example that would be the original (start.jpg), which is the desired end result (done.jpg) and the .psd (link)

    IF to do a step at the heart of the action where I need to intervene and to resize the image flat slightly to fit the canvas it will save even one time charge.

    I know the opening and registration will be supported of the functionality of treatment using batch and the result must be a jpg file.

    Any input is welcome!

    This Script would choose one or the other Action depending on whether the active image is wider than it is tall.

    You must insert the correct names for appropriate Action and the defined Action, however.

    // 2012, use at your own risk;
    #target photoshop
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    if (myDocument.width > myDocument.height) {
              app.doAction("Canvas landscape", "bfunk")
              }
    else {
              app.doAction("Canvas portrait", "bfunk")
              }
    };
    
  • Please help with the batch processing of Javascript.

    I'm looking for batch processing a large number of PDF files.  I need to reduce the font size a bit concerned of form fields on all of these PDF files.  The name of the form fields are Texte8, Texte15, Texte16 and Texte17. I could also affect the size of the font to a smaller size.  What is the script I would use on the way to this topic?

    You can use something like this in a JavaScript Execute action:

    var fieldsToChange is ['Texte15', 'Texte16', 'Texte8', 'Texte17'];.

    for (var i in fieldsToChange) {}

    var f = this.getField (fieldsToChange [i]);

    If (! f) continue;

    f.textSize = 10;

    }

    Of course, you can change the size of font you want to any other value (use 0 if you want to set as "Auto").

  • FDQM replace it with security in batch processing does not

    Hi all

    I know that there is a recent post on this subject (October 2010), then of the apology for opening a new thread, but I have tried everything and cannot get this to work.

    We use version 11.1.2 for HFM and FDM and you want replaced by the method of security in our batch, as some data will be entered manually in HFM and we do not want this deleted when the package is run.

    I tested using RRS.txt, RS.txt and R3.txt as the last part of my batch file name and have inserted a code in the action script LOAD to the output of the objLoadParam.varOptMethodValue which controls the value of the load method. In any case, it returns "0" (0 - Replace). To test again, I tested with RR.txt, RM.txt and RA.txt, and in these cases the return value is '0 ', '1' and ' 2' respectively as wudl expect (although she does not mention the possibility of using the 'Fusion' in the documentation).

    This could be a bug in the adapter for 11.1.2?
    Someone has seen this before and have a way to fix this?

    We believe that we have a work around, but it is not really ideal, if it is a feature that should be there by default.

    Thank you very much

    It is currently as a product enhancement request. It will be added at a later date as a load method for batch processing, however it is not currently available.

  • Batch processing issues

    I'm scanning a large volume of slides. I'd like to be able to batch process them for the basic settings. I found more frequently than scans of opening, adding a curves layer and hit the auto button does a good job at the beginning of the restoration of the color. I could add an action and that with the exception of a question of batch processing.

    ISSUE - when I check "Override Action" save under "orders", the File Naming section is grayed out. So I did not have the ability to specify the naming of files when I run a lot.

    QUESTION - It seems that when I check "remove color profile warnings" the batch will continue using the color space of the image to be processed, not the working color space. It's fine for what I do now. However if I wanted to use the working color space, I simply include a step in the action to convert the color profile of the job profile?

    Dale

    ISSUE - when I check "Override Action" save under "orders", the File Naming section is grayed out. So I did not have the ability to specify the naming of files when I run a lot.

    The Destination drop-down list control if these fields are assets or grayed out, if you change from Save & Close file you will be able to change these fields. Note, however, that if you use the folder option, then you will need a step save slot in your action otherwise they will not be saved.

    If you want to automatically convert the images you open the color profile of work then go to Edition-> color settings and change the second dropdown RGB to convert RGB working.
