Using the Batch command (Photoshop)
The Batch command lets you play an action on a folder of files and subfolders. If you have
a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process
multiple images with a single action. Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire
plug-in module that supports actions. (If the third-party plug-in wasn't written to import
multiple documents at a time, it may not work during batch-processing or if used as part
of an action. Contact the plug-in's manufacturer for further information.)
When batch-processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes
to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the
originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may
want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
For better batch performance, reduce the number of saved history states and deselect
the Automatically Create First Snapshot option in the History palette.
To batch-process files using the Batch command:
1 Choose File > Automate > Batch.
2 For Play, choose the desired set and action from the Set and Action pop-up menus.
3 For Source, choose a source from the pop-up menu:
Folder to play the action on files already stored on your computer. Click Choose to
•
locate and select the folder.
Import to import and play the action on images from a digital camera or scanner.
•
Opened Files to play the action on all open files.
•
File Browser to play the action on the selected files in the File Browser.
•
4 Select Override Action "Open" Commands if you want Open commands in the action to
refer to the batched files, rather than the filenames specified in the action. If you select this
option, the action must contain an Open command because the Batch command will not
automatically open the source files.
Deselect Override Action "Open" Commands if the action was recorded to operate on
open files or if the action contains Open commands for specific files that are required by
the action.
5 Select Include All Subfolders to process files in subfolders.
6 Select Suppress Color Profile Warnings to turn off display of color policy messages.
