Want to automate chimneys open as layers + run action. Possible with script?

I would like to automate a part of my workflow that involves stacked opening images as layers in Ps CS5 and performs a PS action than the layers of composites and processes the image. Something similar to 'Process Collection' in Bridge CS5 only with my own action instead of merging HDR/panorama.

Apparently, it's possible with Mac "Automator" - I can do in Windows? I have no experience with writing scripts, but have friends who can help. Can someone tell me if its possible and point me in the right direction please?

For the name, I thought in the direction to use the name of the first frame of the stack (or layer) as part of the file name.

For action, I think it depends on the action and how the script should be used. My tests were piles of images of three images each. Action selects the top layer, reverse, selects the layer below, reverse, selects the layer below, and reverse. So it reverses all layers, because he expects that there will be three layers. I guess you could script runs the action on all layers, but following the workflow that is perhaps not ideal.

    I would like to automate a part of my job, which is to open the images superimposed (in Bridge CS5) in the form of layers in Ps CS5 and performs a PS action than the layers of composites and processes the image. Something similar to 'Process Collection' in Bridge CS5 only with my own action instead of merging HDR/panorama.

    Apparently, it's possible with Mac "Automator" - I can do in Windows? I have no experience with writing scripts, but have friends who can help. Can someone tell me if its possible and point me in the right direction please?

    This must be a batch process. I know how to open images in layers of the bridge so that I can manually run action PS - I deal with automatically batches of images in this same way.

    To clarify, if possible script must

    (1) find the first battery (in bridge [in the selected folder])

    2) open as layers in PS

    (3) run PS action

    (4) save and close (like psd retaining layers)

    (5) find battery new bridge (selected folder) and try again.

    I mean by "stack", a set of similar files (for example same scene-2 EV, 0EV, + 2 EV)

    Function 'Collection of process' of the bridge is great because it recognizes very skillfully similar images (I think that you first need to stack them) opens to them and either treated in a hdr or panoramic image. Instead or hdr or pano, wouldn't be great if you can run your own action.

    The bridge Image Processor is fantastic to open a package of individual files and run your own action of treatment, but it will not be open to groups of images ("Stacks" or sets) in the form of layers.

    What I need, is essentially a hybrid of the two.

    In case missed you my end added in the other thread, you can watch the auto collection script that comes with the bridge and use it as a basis for what you want to do. You can also to the controller of the creation of your batteries if their timestamps are nearby. Overnight Auto Collection Script now performs two types of battery HDR and Panoramas.  You may be able to modify it to a third type of battery. You stack type and use your stack of transformation of the process instead of mearge of HDR or PhotoMerge.

    The help of Bridge:

    The script Auto Collection CS5 from Adobe Bridge assembles sets of images into piles for treatment as a high dynamic range (HDR) or composite panoramas in Photoshop CS5. The script collects images into stacks based on capture time, exposure settings and the alignment of the image. The timestamps must be within 18 seconds for the Auto Collection script to process the photos. If the exposure settings vary according to the pictures and content overlaps by more than 80%, the script interprets the photos as a HDR set. If the exposure is constant and content overlaps by less than 80%, the script interprets the photos as part of a panorama.

    Note: You must have Adobe Bridge with Photoshop CS5 CS5 Collection car is available.
    1. To activate the Auto Collection CS5 script, choose the command Edition > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Bridge CS5.1 > Preferences (Mac OS).
    2. In the Startup Scripts panel, select Auto Collection CS5 and then click OK.
    3. Select a folder with the HDR or panoramic and choose stacks > Auto stack Panorama/HDR.
    4. Choose Tools > Photoshop > process Collections in Photoshop to merge automatically and visualize the result in Adobe Bridge.

  • Open a file in the finder with script

    I have instructions for actions in pdf files. Trying to make a script that opens a specific folder in OS x Finder (/ applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6 / Instructions / FileNameHere).

    Is this possible. An alternative is to have only the script go to the finder and show the folder. Or if its possible also opens all files in this folder (but maybe that's not necessary if it is difficult)

    Any ideas?

    Open the folder

    var myFolder = file ('path');

    myFolder.execute ();

    Open the file

    var myFile = file (' path/file.pdf");

    myFile.execute ();

    Let the user select a folder and open all the .pdfs in the folder

    myFolder var is Folder.selectDialog ('select the file!');.

    myFiles = myFolder.getFiles ("*.pdf") var;

    for (var i = 0; i)< myfiles.length;="">

    [i] myFiles .execute ();

    I have windows7 64-bit with the computer acer laptop, but I want to change to 32 bit can it is possible with the same product key?

    If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.

    If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.

  • I am running XP with Office 2003. The Office 2007 SP1 is "forced" on me to automatic updates. Should I run the installation?

    Whenever I visited the MS Update site, I was prompted to download the SP1 for Office 2007. I always ignored this suggestion because I run Office 2003. I don't know why I would even be asked to provide this update unless I have versions Express in Visual c#, VB, and Developer Web loaded on my computer. These applications need this update? Should I start the update, or I might do something that is not compatible with my Office 2003?

    Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
