Photoshop :: Complex Batch Editing
Jun 26, 2013
Photoshop cs6 64 windows 7 64. I'd like to do a highly repetitive action to a single open file. In this case:
file save as currentname_print.psd
then commit action save as currentname.png
then commit another action and save as currentname_small.png
at the moment batch seems to be great for running the same action for many files, but if I want to run a repetitive action such as this I can't seem to figure it out. but I cant seem to get it working, and searches only seem to turn up questions about doing the same action to multiple files.
ps: it seems strange that within the action menu I cant create sets that have variables aka current file name+afix, if the actions feature had this I'd be golden.
ps+ also seems that this could be handled by bridge quite efficiently.

When I use the batch command in Photoshop CS5 the results are the same as if I did the touch up manually. This is not true in CS6. What can I do to rectify this problem.

just wondering if there is a way to do some simple edits such as auto colour adjusments etc on a large batch of photos rather than having to do them one by one?? can then add the more specific edits ontop.
can anyone point me to a tutorial that would give me a step by step run through - or give me a few nudges in the right direction!

I have an excel list of about 2000 names. I need to add each name text to a image I created and then have it saved as a separate file. Is there any kind of automation/shortcut to do something like this, rather then manaully typing each name?

I have 30 dirs, each of them with 4 thumbs in it. I want to make one big thumb of every 4 smaller ones, by resizing and fitting them together into square. Like
Thumb1 right next to Thumb2
below
Thumb3 right next to Thumb4
and then save that image.
Would you give me any direction how to do that? I'm with CS3. I did explore the auto and script options in the File menu, but still unable to get idea how to do that, if possible at all

I have a drawing with at least 100 pipes in it. Unfortunately there was an error in the spelling of the pipe material in the network parts list and all of these existing pipes have to be edited. The only way that I can find to access the material property is to open the property dialog for each pipe and fix it one at a time.
Any other solution that would allow us to batch edit a series of pipe material properties?

So I have an action that I've been using for the past couple years (?) now that involves opening an image, applying an auto color and auto levels, saving and closing. This has been working for me since probably a couple years ago when I made the action. Yesterday, I was working on a scanning project where I have groups of images in separate folders. I ran the action on the first 2 folders which went fine.
When I got to the 3rd folder all the way up to the last one, PS just loads all the images, does the levels and color then fails to save/close them when done. On one of my folders, it gets through a few of them when it drops the ball and just opens all of them. I'm not sure what's going on as there's no real explanation as to why this is happening.. especially when I've been using this action (and I even made a new action with still no luck). Last week I had about 300 images I had to work with and PS decided to pull this move on me after doing the first 30 of them fine...which is when I first noticed this happening.
To further add, I set my action to show everything step by step and it seems to happen with select images (in some cases, these select images are entirely what is in the folder). With the select images, it is not doing the actions entirely in order. Typically it does it in this manner:
1-Levels
2-Levels
3-Save
4-Close
What I'm now experiencing is this:
2-Levels
1-Levels
(Skips 3 and 4 since it is starting at 2 and working upward).

I have two images, a picture and an overlay. The overlay is made in Photoshop using Render Clouds and the Plastic Wrap filters. I overlayed this on my picture using 50% Fill and Linear Light blend mode.
I hid the picture, and saved the overlay as a PNG-8, hoping that the variable transparency would hold. It didn't. The question is, is there a way to control levels of transparencies in a GIF or PNG?
I already know you can edit the Color Table and select different colors, or shades as it were, but there doesn't seem to be any way of implementing 50% transparency. Or really anything outside of either it is or it isn't visible.

I have a fairly complex black and white design and I want to delete the white from it and have nothing but the black with transparent holes. Is there a way to remove all of a certain color in that way? The Magic wand would take forever to select everything I want to remove.

On my home and work computer I have Photoshop CS3 installed. Both the home computer and my work computer have the default installation with no configuration changes.
When I open an image file (any foramt) on my work computer in photoshop CS3 the images appear to be filtered in a way that while open in photoshop CS3 the images have a rich golden look and appear sharper.
The original files are very pale like sun bleached drift wood. If I save the images and open them in other applications the the images look like the original files (pale bleached look) and do not retain the adjusted look. When I open the same files on my home computer in CS3 the files do not have this golden look, but retain the original pale bleached look.
I "uninstalled" photoshop on my work computer and deleted all references and settings that I could find for photoshop. I then reinstalled photoshop and logged onto the computer as a new user. The images still have the golden look while open in photoshop CS3 and not the actual pale bleached look.

I have to start off by apologizing for asking a question on my very first visit here... Sadly, I don't have a choice and if I don't find an answer to this question/figure out how to do this, my brain is going to explode and it's going to be messy.
(Working with Photoshop 7.0) Here's my problem: I have a picture of a woman coming out of a river. The river is banked with snake-like, winding ground with good sized grasses and a small layer of dirt layering to the water level.

I have a client which wants me to change the color of his products - from bronze to chrome and vice versa. I'm specialized in web design in Photoshop, I tried different techniques but didn't manage to get a good enough result. I have to add that it's not only 1 product, but up to 100. Here are the images: [URL]....

I'm using Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7 64bit. I've seen other posts about a bug if you are trying to complete a 3D extrusion when a triangle is present, but my issue seems even more basic.
I'm drawing a simple wave shape with the pen tool set to shape, no fill, 1px stroke. I'm simply drawing three points to create a simple sine wave - the idea being to create a wavy piece of 35mm film. The image size is quite big - 6000 x 4000 px. The first time I did it, the rendering worked fine but I didn't like the curve I had drawn, so I stepped back and tried again. Now, whatever I do, I get the "Could not complete because the path is too complex" message.
Is this a known bug and are there any workarounds to create a single pixel wide wavy shape in 3D that looks like a piece of film.

I'm running into a bit of a problem with having a shape extruded in 3D.
If I draw a rectangle shape set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a 3D rectangle with the image on the front side.
If I draw a 3 sided polygon (triangle) set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a error telling me that the path is too complex.
I'm doing the exact same thing. Now, if I have 4 sides plus, on the polygon it will extrude just fine.
Something seems to be happening with 3 sided polygons. This holds true with the pen tool as well. Three points will give you the error, 4 and above seem not to.

if it was indeed possible to remove text from an image with rather detailed background. I'm no stranger to Photoshop and the Adobe Family however I've tried several methods and all of them seem to work but finished result looks obviously doctored...
Here is the image, my client wants the price from the image to vanish, while retaining the background!I have tried myself to accomplish such a result but my attempts at this

I find that CS6 frequently feezes when I try to use the lasso tool to add to (or subtract from) and existing, complex, selection. Any fix for this? am running the most recent CS6 on a MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and ~250GB of free hard disk space.

I don't mean "Hide" as in right clicking and hiding selected objects, because that doesn't seem to work.
I'm working with Rayfire and need a way to remove the fragment objects from my view so the program will run faster.
Alternatively is there any way to combine multiple scene's objects instead? (so I could work on the fragments and then the rest of the scene and then combine them.)

I'm working on a part of an image that, I suppose, is "complex".
I'll start by saying I have no snap to options selected. I'm zoomed to a section of an image and moving the node arrows to create the pattern. Why do the arrows push each other out of the way? How do I manage node manipulation without the pushy arrows? Is it possible to have too many nodes? I only have this happen when working on something with a lot of nodes.

cropping/cutting complex meshed 2d objects.I create a 2d plane and divide it to 100x100 sections. How can I extract a star from it preserving the meshed squares of the plane?
In Illustrator I'd create a compound path from the 100x100 (10.000 squares) and extract it. Then I'd create a star position it in front of the plane, select both and hit "crop" in the pathfinder.
What I actually need is to "subdivide" 2d shapes but if I apply the subdivide modifier It applies a triangle mesh and what i need is squares manually delete the outside segment by segment but I'm talking real complex shapes..

the situation is this:
* i have a cube with "Noise Rotation controller" assigned.
* On the other hand, i make a strip that comes flying in a straight line (a rectangle whit "path deform modifier" OSM).
* when both meets, the strip moves around the cube following it, and then keep his trajectory in a straight line.
I resolved attach the path to the cube, and works pretty well in the middle section of the trajectory , but at the start the path keep rotating whit the cube, and mess it up.
in others words, i need to attach temporarily, only when the strips fly around teh cube.

I'm a beginner/intermediate level 3ds max user and I've recently starting to model what I love the most - sci-fi stuff, more specifically, space ships. So, I've been browsing the net looking for models done..Now, there's one very specific question in mind: does a ship (say, a very creative and complex concept) has to be one single object, or can it be a group of linked objects? Notice that I have in mind game development. URL....

I am trying to create a complex shape with an opacity map. To keep things simple, consider an egg shape with heagon shaped windows. I have tried to create a solid / shell with boolean cut-outs, but getting these windows at the right angles is becoming very difficult.So, I tried a CV Surf with an opacity map. This allows for the windows to work well, but there is no depth to the surface.Is there a way to add depth to a CV surf object? Also, I want the map of the interior to be different from the exterior. A solid will have a ton of polygons, making mapping a huge time sink.
