Automate function

Aug 3, 2012 8:16 AM

Hi

 

I'm pretty new to PS, have used PSE prior to getting the whole CS6 package, so I might ask an obvious question to some.

 

I have a bunch of pictures, which I want to add 1.0 exposure to and maybe a few other adjustments.

 

Is there a way to make this automaticly to a bunch of files?

 

I have been looking at the automate and script menu items, but it is a bid hard for me to see ifvit is possible that way.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Ulf

    You can record an Action of the task performed on one file, then use "File > Automate > Batch..." to run that Action on folders of files.

    Look at Photoshop's menu File>Automate>Batch and menu File>Scripts>Image Processor...   Also if you want to use automation in CS6 and you use a PC not a Mac there is a nasty bug in the PC version of CS6 that cause many Actions and Scripts to fail if you modify your Photoshop's Preferences and Un-Check open document in Tabs. So do not un-check "open Documents in Tabe" in Photoshops Preferences.

    Look also into the Image Processor script as well (File - Scripts - Image Processor...).  It can run an action, and its user interface may make the process of choosing files to work on and save more straightforward for you (opposed to File - Automate - Batch).

     

    Edit:  Oops, I see JJ has already mentioned Image Processor above.  I must have skimmed over that before.
