Batch Processing?

[antonia555]

Im not sure batch processing is the tool i need to use. I normally have hundreds of pictures to edit every day, they are without fail too dark etc. how do i automate firstly auto contrast, then selective colour/white/+10. If i could get this working it would save soooo much time!

I use Adobe Photoshop 7.0

Any help at all would be really appreciated.

Open a sample image and create a new action (see the actions palette). Carry out all the operations you need to do, then stop recording. Now put all your images into a folder, go to File > Automate > Batch... and select your action. Choose 'Folder' as your source and choose the folder where your images are. For destination, either 'Save & Close', or choose another folder if you want to keep the originals. Click OK and have a cup of coffee.

Thanks!!! It seems to be working well except one thing, when it saves the a pic i get a popup about the quality of the save etc,

In automate/batch theres an option to skip dialogs etc but it isnt stopping this box popping up.

Is there any way to skip this or turn it off?

Thank you.

find the action in the actions palette - expand it and hunt for the part that saves the file. double-click on this and see if you can stop it asking for the quality. if not, check to see if there is a Toggle Dialog on/off against this part.
