Photoshop :: CS5 / File Name Changes Unexpectedly In Action
Oct 10, 2012
A client is running CS5. When we run an Action in Photoshop, either directly or through a Batch process, the name of the file changes to an old file name that actually existing in the file structure. It doesn't matter which file we start with, the name changes to this other name during the action. I've checked all the steps of the action to be certain there isn't a Save As command presenet. This has started happening with the past month. The Action has been in use for over a year.

My Photoshop Elements 10 keeps shutting down on me whenever I open a large file or I create a new file and try to add a new frame layer. It was working fine a week ago and now nothing.

I did a search around, and did not find the answer. Basically I have attempted to create an action in Photoshop CS6 which will save a file in the tiff format after i crop the image. I want the file name to be the name of the image (which is supposed to change depending on name of the image) like this:
1280x720_MGXXX.tiff, where, in my case the XXX represents DIFFERENT NUMBERS.
I want to apply the action to one image at a time. Each image has a different number (name). I record the action, add the 1280x720 text to the image name in the Save dialog. I am saving the image in a different folder from the source file. The source file name is _MGXXXX.tiff (again XXXX is a number like 2220...).
When I run the action on a file, say "_MG2221.tiff" it adds the 1280x720, and saves the file. When I apply the action on the next file (_MG2222.tif), the action overwrites the existing file, 1280x720_MG2221.tif, with the image. The action always uses the name I entered in the Save dialog!! I think I was able to do this in CS4 and CS5.
I want to be able to open a file, crop and adjust it, and then save in a diff location with 1280x720 pretended to the file name.

Working from Lightroom in PS - trying to record action to simply flatten layers and File Save back to Lightroom. PS records specific file path of original image used when action was recorded. Is there a way to eliminate this specific path?

I've got Photoshop CS4 and have created an action. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to save the action to a file so I can share it with others. The action converts a PSD to JPG and exports it for the web. How do you save an action so you can share it? I don't want to share all of my actions -- just this one.

I made an action that saves a JPEG using Save for Web and it overwrites the existing file. Unfortunately when I run the action or use it in a batch it asks me if I want to replace the existing file.
How do I make it overwrite the existing file?

I am currently using Photoshop CS on an Apple 1GB G5 20in iMac.
There?s still plenty of RAM space available but when using it, Photoshop keeps unexpectedly quitting.
I have tried someone?s suggestion of disabling the TWAIN plug-in but to no avail.
I?ve also uninstalled and reinstalled the application but the same thing happens.

Is it possible to put as part of an action 'open the file that's selected in the file browser'. At the moment I select files and then run a batch process, or open the file and then run an action, but can I skip that stage?
What I have in mind is being able to look over the file browser to see which action each file needs to have run, but to be able to just click an action button and for it to open that file and run the action, etc.

I am writing an action to label a series images that I will be printing with the current date, file name of the image and other information along the edge of the print so that I will be able to identify the source of the print in the future. Writing the action with stops that allow me to type in the information is not a problem.
The question is how can I automate the process so I do not have to type in this information each time. Is there any source available that I can copy today's date so that I can paste it into the action? How about the file name? In this case I can copy the file title from the desktop each time but I can not fine a method of including this in an action or find another source to copy it from that will retain the link to the current image.

Using photoshop cs2.
I have a few actions to speed things up, but now i need to use the same actions but with different directory structures. Is there an easy way to just change the path used in an action?
I've tried using a hex editor to do the job but, photoshop fails to load the updated action.

I am a professional photographer and wish to create an action where I can bring in my studio logo into an image file. Eventually I will run this as a batch.
Scenario:
Open image to have logo added
Opem logo image
Drag logo on to new layer of first image, and position
Close logo
Close and save original image
I have other stuff going on in this action (I'm creating a custom proof) but while recording the part where I want to bring in the logo it doesn't seem to be able to find the right logo file when I try to run it.

way to specify a certain MB to hit when resizing images using an action?
The reason I ask is that I work with TIFF files that generally start at 60-100MB which I then have to resize to be around 25MB - and I'd like to build this into an action that I can repeat on all images.
At the moment, I'm doing a little guess work when creating an action that employs the Fit Image function. If the image height:width is close to that of A4, I find setting the fit image option to around 3300x3300 pixels usually works. However, a lot of images that I process don't fit to such proportions, which is why I'd much rather be able to set 25 MB as the target size instead, if this is possible...

When running a batch I have an existing file open and then an action which opens a pre exisiting file that i Drop images into to give boarders and logos.
When I run the action it drops image into the PSD in the correct area and the file looks correct , then in turn it saves the Original file and not the one the batch ran on even thou the file was worked on and edited on CS6. So in a sense it saves the Original File with the correct File naming when ran in the Batch Image processor.
Original file Name.
OUT_9035.NEF
Saved File name
OUT_9035-12x18-2013.PSD
Still with nothing done to the saved file execpt the name change.
Action
Open
C:*****12x18-W.psd

My camera software dumps jpegs and raw files into a single folder.
I am wanting to batch (automate) process the jpegs in said folder, but not the camera's raw files. How do I employ an action that will only run on the jpegs in the folder and skip the raw files?

Is there any way to make Photoshop delete (or move to Recycle Bin, doesn't matter) a file in an Action?
Basically at the moment I manually open a picture, then I activate my Action which does a bunch of automated things, saves a .png copy, closes the file. I would like my Action to also remove the original file.
(I cannot use batch processing because the picture names do not follow a logical pattern, therefore I still wish to open the files myself.)

I want to create an action that only opens one particular file type, performs some changes to it, then finds all the others of that file type. I can do everything else and use the Image Processor to run it, but I can't find any way to tell the action to only open .GIF files and ignore everything else.

So I am familiar with how to use Photoshop actions and how to batch process, but right now I am on a project where I need to batch process a large number of employee photo headshot images to be 100x75 pixels AND must be between 12 kb and 20 kb.
So the 100x75 pixels is easy, but my questions are this.
1. How can i have an action save the image image in that range for the file size ?
2. is there a way that I can have the action pause so I can center the person's head in the photo when cropping?

I had an action set up in CS5 that I used to create different size versions of a file.It involved pasting a full size image into PS, then running the action to create two smaller sizes.
I updated to CS6 today, lost my action , and whenever I create the same action in CS6 instead of overwriting the existing set of .jpgs in the target folder, it's creating html files!
