• Photoshop action - multiple save as

  Hi all.

  I'm doing an Action to save on multiple versions of a file, which can be applied to many different files all in different destinations.

  How can I edit and delete the 'IN' setting in the steps save as actions?

  I tried the "Insert" menu, but even when we click on SAVE AS he recorded only as SAVE (with the copy).

  I see there is a SAVE AS PHOTOSHOP PDF in the Production defined in the default actions, but it has graduations of differet to what I need.

  Any help is appreciated

  Hi all

  The detailed problems is first of all a problem I encounter also and it maybe a case that I am asking too much, but I really don't think - here's the question: -.

  I create the product pages of information for my site (www.formyoffice.co.uk) and each product has an HD picture, a picture of STD, an article link image and a thumbnail image, and these are sized squares images in pixels for the following sizes HD = 750, STD = 350, Section = 150, inch = 75 pixels.  I'm hoping to implement an automated process which, once I'm done to change the image of him that (suppliers/manufacturer/client/showroom photo) and I could save this HD image, then run a lot and adjust the image to the required size AND save this image for use.  I just finished a process of 'Action' and that works well, but have a problem with the file name that the new image is then saved under and it's making this useless automated process.  So if my original image was called, for example "OSCO-Test-HD - 1.jpg" my process held an action to deleted ".jpg" and then re - save with addition of ' "-350 for STDS,"-tna "section, and"-tnb "for thumb but the problem is that the filname will not update the real file it looks and continues to change the file name for the new file" Wibble-Test-HD-1 "arise the following"OSCO-Test-HD-1 - 350.jpg"" "» , "OSCO-Test-HD-1 - tna.jpg" and "OSCO-Test-HD-1 - tnb.jpg" instead of the economy as the correct extensions "Wibble-Test-HD-1-350", "Wibble-Test-HD-1-tna" and "Wibble-Test-HD-1-tnb".»

  Am I asking too much here?  The file name does not update but I can't the action to use the original file current that will alter it to create these other images he keeps just by using the file name used when creating the Macro action process and then this updates.  Any help will be greatly appreciated and I think this will help Tigo88 I think it's the same problem.

• Create a photoshop action to save a batch of images as models

  I try to use Photoshop actions to the script on the image of a thousand in PAT files files. I'm running a problem with actions when it comes to defining a model. The program naturally selects the file name as the name of the template, when do it manually, but when I do this while recording a Photoshop action saves the file name used in the creation of the action and then uses this file for all models of sripted name. Is it possible to change this setting to select the name of the current file instead?

  

  That should be all you need...

  createPattern();function createPattern() {    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();        var ref3 = new ActionReference();        ref3.putClass( charIDToTypeID('Ptrn') );    desc6.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref3 );        var ref4 = new ActionReference();        ref4.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), charIDToTypeID('fsel') );        ref4.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );    desc6.putReference( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), ref4 );    desc6.putString( charIDToTypeID('Nm  '), app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '') );    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc6, DialogModes.NO );};
  

• I need a script to perform a specific action and save file with the SAME name of document .jpg

  I have all my PSD master files registered as follows: mydocument_PSD.psd. I want to run a custom action to sharpening and then save the file as mydocument.jpg (note the part "_PSD" should be removed).

  I found this Photoshop-export-PSD-script/Export - PSD.jsx to edwardloveall/Photoshop-export-PSD-script master · · GitHub that gets me close to there, but that's a png and is the name of the document to the right and there is no action ran.

  Any ideas?

• When taking picture with the light in the background with the camera back from my iPhone more than 6 s, there is a clear blue colour square (a bit like a reflection of the light) will appear.

  When taking picture with the light in the background with the camera back from my iPhone more than 6 s, there is a clear blue colour square (a bit like a reflection of the light) will appear.

  someone has an idea of what's going on?

  The blue square is the area of the camera is in point and exposure on.

  Tap on the area actually taking a picture of. For example, if you take a photo of someone int eh the room and the bottom is very light (or dark), tap on the face of the person to turn to that.

• Can you after you have selected a picture with the magic wand just delete the background, leaving only the photo?

  Can you after you have selected a picture with the magic wand, just delete the background, leaving only the photo?

  Or should we use layers to achieve?

  I use Adobe Elements 8.

  Thank you

  Martin

  What is your intention to delete the background - replace the white background transparency or others?

  Keep in mind that if you delete on the background layer (the default name), deletion is replaced by the current color set in the chip of background color as shown in the toolbar. By default, it is white, so if you are selection and deletion of a white background you will end up with white again. If you want that transparency first change the background to a normal layer Layer renaming.

• Since the installation of EL CAPITAN, I can't open pictures and iPhotos with photoshop, CS6, nor my mails with Office Word

  Since the installation of EL CAPITAN, I can't open pictures and iPhotos with PHOTOSHOP CS6, nor my mails with office Word

  Hi denisb,

  If you are not able to open the Photos App images directly in Photoshop then, this is the expected behavior as App Photos does not allow for any third-party application interact with it directly.

  You must export images from the Photos App and then open in Photoshop.

• Can't get picture with transparent background to appear like this

  I am quite new to PES (using version 6) so thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

  I have a picture and made the background transparent and saved as a GIF file.  The opening, he shows up with the grid background.  Good so far.

  When I drag this photo of the tray inside project (where I still see the bottom of checkerd) in the picture, I am trying, it comes with a solid gray background once fallen into this image.  So essentially, the background is more transparent.

  How can I add this picture with transparent background to the image, I'm working on without a background / frame appear?  I have combed internet and cannot find an answer and searching this forum, still coming up empty.  I think the problem has to do with dragging it from the location of the project.  If not, how can I get in the picture, that I'm getting?

  Thank you!

  Kevin

  In PES 6, dragging it to the top of the location of project creates a sort of layer of passthrough. Copy and paste, or drag it to the bottom of the image window the gif in the other file in the location of the project instead.

• Trigger action when a picture is open

  Hi, I have a software that can work with photoshop (with an order, it can take a picture of a digital SLR camera, save and open it in PS, its called Pro DSLR of BreezeSys), and I need to apply an action at the moment that an image is loaded on PS.

  Is there any configuration of trigger?

  Ty!

  You can try to define an open document event using the script event handler. It may be triggered when the image opens in Photoshop.  It will be triggered whenever you open a document via Photoshop UI. I don't think it will be triggered when documents are opened by a Photoshop Action, Script, or plug-in.  If your software Photoshop passimf opens a file setting. I am convinced that the Open Document event would be triggered.

• Photoshop actions + Relinking image

  Hi all!

  I'm trying to optimize the way in which my colleagues and I add labels of our bottles. I have created a 3D tag and wrapped around our bottles. My next step in the process was to create actions that once played, all that was left for us to do was select the files that we want to apply our texture and save the files. The only problem I have encountered is that when the script gets to point d - link the smart object, it calls a dialog open as smart object, where we then have the opportunity to harvest to: Crop Bounding Box, media box, etc.

  

  What I would like is for this step to be fully automated, where once we choose the image we want to replace this dialog automatically chooses Crop to: Media Box, close and then fills the rest of the procedure of the action. I currently have this step by using the "Insert Menu Item' > 'Layer' > 'Intelligent objects' >"Recreate a link to the file"I tried setting up using"Action Record"but then he would always choose the same image to replace, I obviously don't want.

  That's what my script looks like if it helps someone.

  

  Thanks in advance!

  What you show, it is an action, but you are referring to it as a script.  Photoshop scripts are different Photoshop actions. Scripts are programs. They are programmed in a scripting language, and unlike actions can use logic.  However, I don't know if what you want to do can be programmed in a Photoshop script.  I have not programmed in this area in lieu of a linked smart object.  Watching your action, it seems that you have inserted the element menu to create a link to the file.  This will be an interactive action step as you wrote.  I'm not familiar with this menu item.   Saving item menu differently when used in an action, then when it is inserted as a menu item.  When used they are not interactive step. Step can be hard coded to a particular file, however.   A script may be able to put in a file selection dialog to allow you to select the file you want to link. Once you select the script file may be able to recreate it a link to the file in a non-interactive manner.    If you change your action and uncheck the menu item from insert reissue so it does not get played and record a step when you using the menu item Insert the item.  When you have completed step if name path file etc settings get saved in step. Probably you can code a Photoshop script that will work the way you want the process works.

• Repeat the action and save the file

  Hello

  I'm having a fever and is trying to accomplish something that seems very simple not knowing anything about scripting.

  I made an action that applies to some simple effects (blur, threshold and high pass). I want to do is to repeat the action of n times and save an additional for each repetition png so I find myself with a sequence of files numbered from the action more applied (as in this example, Photoshop Cs5 filters Animation on Vimeo).

  After som Googling, I ended up using AppleScript and was able to repeat the action for as many times as I want, but I'm completely stuck on the file save game. That's what I have right now:

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  say application 'Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5'

       set Starting point to current document

       set theFilePath to path of the file of current document

  Repeat with n from 1 to 10

  set myFile to theFilePath & ': output: image ' & { n channel } & ".png"

  do "CrazyAction" of "Default Actions"

  { Save document in file myFile as PNG with options { }classPNG save options interwoven:fake} :

  end Repeat

  end say

  In case someone comes up with the solution I also have another related question: How can I make sure that the output file names will have a padding of the number? Ideally, I'd end up with image2.png and so on, rather than image1.png image001.png, image002.png.

  Thanks in advance!

  One of the things you can do with javascript you can not do with applescript is to use the scriptlistener plugin. This plugin is put into the photoshop plug-ins folder, and when he's here (you don't want to leave it there all the time) it will record about everything you do, kind of like an action, but it generates the code in a file on your desktop. I used it for recording an action to save the png and running. The parts of the code are in the functions in the script. So I just created a folder name of base, a base file name and a counter of departure. The script will then execute your action and save a png image in this folder and change the name of the base by the counter file increases by one each time. You must put in the name of your action and the name of the action as defined in the script.

  #target photoshop
  var fileName = 'myFile-';
  var folderPath = new Folder (Folder.desktop +'/action test/')//create whatever path you want here. Make sure the folder exists!
  var doc = activeDocument;
  var counter = 1//counter for changing the filename
  
  for (var i=0;i<4;i++){//Change number 4 to whatever number you want it to repeat + 1
      runMyAction ("twirl", "Chuck");//put in action name and action set name. This line can be duplicated for different actions.
      savePNG ()
      counter++
      }
  
  function runMyAction(myAction, myActionSet){
      var idPly = charIDToTypeID( "Ply " );

              ref8.putName( idASet, myActionSet );//Changed to a variable

• PhotoShop 'Actions' and single name PDF

  Batch conversion of resizing and cropping of files PDF, Photoshop fails to appoint uniquely results with the name of the original file of documents. It replaces the output several times with the same file name. I can avoid this problem by having numbered file adobe instead. but I always lose the name of the original file. It looks like a bug.

  Even 'action' will correctly properly called JPEG & TIFF files (but not PDFs.)

  The work to seem to not use photoshop 'Actions' to PDF batch convert. use Actions that once the files have been converted to TIFF or any other format.

  You do a Save As in yourself, Action and replace this step and add something in the batch dialog box to create the name of the output file that is different from the name of document? You need to do if the file input and output files are one and same.

  

• Advanced Photoshop Actions - name change?

  I'll keep it short and simple

  Always on Photoshop CS5 (for now)

  Starting with a PDF (multi-page) and try to open it with photoshop, it cut down and save on with the (complex) correct naming convention.

  There are thousands of files to do, and I prefer to make this task easier, so I don't have to manually rename each file he is recorded on. I can't change the original names of PDF that they undertake.

  I starts with: HTH555 - 2817_Cover.pdf

  It's a 2 pages in PDF, 12.25 x 12.25 in., CMYK, 300 dpi

  Goal is to finish by: HTH5552817_Front.jpg (and) HTH5552817_Back.jpg

  Both would be open ready to 12 x 12, rgb and saved out as 300ppi - jpg.

  I want the hyphen between "555" and "2817" deleted.

  And the word 'Cover' replaced with 'Front' and 'Back' (for pages 1 and 2, respectively).

  When you open the PDF file it automatically opens in first page 2 (rear) 1 (front) page and then stays on page 1.

  I don't know there's a script somewhere available to remove the dashboard in this position, or search for a dash and to remove it, and rename the 'cover' to the correct output based on page # which opens... I have no idea where to start with this. I did a very light script in the past, and with a little guidance, I can probably figure out how to put in place, I just need help with the correct scripts, or the parameters of the actions.

  Thank you!

  Remove the dashboard is simple if it is the only one in the name (var name = activeDocument.name.replace("-","")).

  Opening of multiple page PDF files can be problematic, because it can be difficult to determine in advance the number of pages in a pdf document.

• Photoshop actions: mask color claw Cup + 99 :/

  I have a black image with a layer of just clipping mask above.  I created a sample with a set of 99 colors that I use over and over again.  I created an action that will be the color mask, prompt me to name them and save again the image layer mask active & ready for me to pick the next color in the swatch Panel.

  Two questions:

  (1) is it possible to automate this action to plow right through all the colors of 99 on my sample (the names of: Swatch1-99) without being invited by me?

  (2) is it possible for the action name in order the image before the record within the action?  I know I can do this in batch mode, but it is possible in the action itself?

  Basically, I want the action to run 99 times on an image without interaction from me.  Is this possible? Or I have to build 99 series of my action?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Ok.. I slept on it and sometimes during the night, I woke up and found the solution.

  CREATING THE ACTION

  I had to create the action of the hard...

  (1) open PSD with layer mask

  (2) create a duplicate file and remove all the layers and add a blank layer 1

  (3) set the focus to the original image.

  (4), select the layer MASK

  (5) SELECT ALL to select the entire image

  (6) open the Actions tab, named my new action & hit record

  (7) set to color chart color

  (8) color the layer mask

  (9) copy merged

  (10) select double image

  (11) block of

  (12) set the focus to the original image

  (13) repeat steps 7-12, 98 times (get cramp in the hand about half way, get coffee, answering the phone, lose my place 17 times, but keep plowing on...)

  (14) to save the image with 99 layers PSD file

  (15) to stop recording

  (16) under action 99 COLORS

  WITH THE HELP OF THE ACTION

  (1) make sure you have correctly loaded custom color chart.

  (2) open PSD with layer mask

  (3) create a duplicate file and remove all the layers and add a blank layer 1

  (4) set the focus to the original image.

  (5), select the layer MASK

  (6) SELECT ALL to select the entire image

  (7) open the Actions tab, choose 99 COLORS & press PLAY

  EXTRACTION OF 99 LAYERS INDIVIDUAL PNG FILES

  I have an old version of Photoshop, CS3, so the ability to save PNG using a built-in script was not an option.  I looked around the interwebs a bit and found a script to save each layer as a PNG.  I'm new here and don't know the rules for the display of external links, so if someone wants information on the use of this script, send me a message.

  (1) open the PSD file with 99 layers.

  (2) choose FILE > SCRIPTS > BROWSE and load the SaveLayers.jsx script

  (3) you are prompted with a message that makes me think to have a back-up, things can go wrong, the destruction of the Earth is possible but if you are connected to the Earth in your own folly, click OK.

  (4) 60 seconds later, I have 99 different PNG files in my folder color.

  (5) LIKE the world. Fill the coffee.

  BY THE WAY

  So after I found this clever script, I tested it on 6 different files with mask layers.  Some were just 2 images of layer (layer image & original mask) and 2 images with 3 layers (image layer, layer, layer mask).  The top layer is a layer of black of the entire image.  This script worked on one of the 3 layers images but not the other.  I kept getting an error during creation of layer 45 that there was nothing in the area of selection on the POPULATION of the original process.  I do not know what has increased with this particular image, but he has worked a lot on the other image of the 3 layer and all the images of two layers with no problems.
