How to run a script to sharpen images along with..

Postby Kris on Tue Dec 05, 2006 12:28 pm

An action that runs a border I have and apply a default USM to my images. Can bridge do this? I can see it allows for 1 action to be applied, I'd like more than 1 if possible

?

Thanks guys!

I create the individual actions I want to do.

1. Slight contrast curves tewak
2. USM
3. Canvas size to suit.

And then create a master action, that runs each action one after the other.

Then just batch that action.

Works for me :)

Yep, just run actions within action...

Record one if you have to do so.

That's the way I'd do it, too OR just record all the steps into the one action. If you want it to pause between each individual action (or step), just click on the little square to the left of the action (or step) and it will pause to await your changes before continuing....

When I do this, it tells me that the Border action isnt available.

I created an action that had the OPEN, USM and then played an action from a Borders set I had and it does it all bar the Border :(

'current action not available'

:(

What I can think from top of my head....

Record a new action called "my USM" something like that...

- Forget about the OPEN command to use at first
- open your previous USM action list and play the action again from the first step except the OPEN command
- see if the steps are recorded into your new action
- record additional items/steps same way as above, for your borders
- once done, stop the recording and open the image then play the action once to check if working
- run automate -> batch -> select your action and then choose a source/destination to open/save files from and to.

photoshop should work by itself now.
