Could anyone advise me if it is possible, and if so how to create an action with a brush.
I've created a brush which is just my copyright information that I want to stamp in the bottom left of every photograph when it is converted to a JPEG.
My convert to JPEG action works fine, but I can't seem to record an action that uses the brush.
I'm trying to find a way to incorporate a brush into my action without actually having to stop and using the brush and then continue. More specifically, I would like to apply the art history to the entire image as a step within an action, but I want it to automatically be applied without me having to actually brush it.
Is there a way to do this?
I'm trying to record a brush mode setting (eg clear,normal, behind) in an action.
But photoshop doesn't record anything when i click on the brush mode setting (it does record the brush when i click on it in the tool bar) Tools like the color picker also do not record, so the problem goed farther then just the brush mode setting.
I'm running Photoshop CC on a Wacom Cintiq Companion on Windows8.
I am trying to create an action that includes a brush stroke and for some reason the action will not remember to include the stroke.

I have a bunch of huge 5.3 megapixel pix on disc. I want to create an action that:
1. opens all the pictures on the disk
2. resizes them
3. applies USM
4. then saves them to a different folder on my HD
I tried to create the above action and it goes through the steps but does not resize them. What seems to happen is that it opens the first picture and performs the command but subsequent files opened do not resize etc..
I'm using Photoshop CS 8.0
How can I make an action which changes the picture size and resolution for all files in a directory and saves the new versions of the files in a subdirectory?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an action with an F shortcut, so when I save a file that I've edited, it saves it with an '_ed' after it.
When I've done the action, it just changes the whole file name, instead of adding the '_ed'. I know there is a batch option for this, but I was wondering how I could go about doing this on a file by file basis.
I need to add a logo onto several jpg images and then re-save them as jpg's.
I start the action recording, then open the image, then opening the psd with the logo, I then duplicate the logo layer onto the jpg file. I then move it into place and then save the jpg. After this I stop the action from recording.
Now when I go to run it in batch mode, at the point it should duplicate the layer from teh psd file onto the jpg, it says cannot open "new document"
way I can create an action and get the image onto the jpgs and avoid thsi error?
how to create a simple action, i.e. rotate, crop, etc. What I can't find in a search of the Forum and web is a clear tutorial on how to create an action using text. For example, midway through the action, I want to enter text; however, I don't know how to have the action present the text box for me to select the text/font/color, etc. Each time I use this action, it will be with different text, and if I simply enter the text as part of the original action, that same text appears in all subsequent uses.
When I include a Stop and add text, then begin recording again, it doesn't seem to work either?
What I would like to do is to get the stroke shape, pressure and maybe velocity after a `Brush Tool' drawing action is triggered by the user, i.e. after a simple drawing operation.
I have been using the ScriptListener plugin, but it does not record this type of operation: changing the brush parameters (e.g. size and opacity), yes, but the actual drawing action, no.
I have PS v7.0 for PC.
I want to create an “Action” that changes the File type from .psd to .jpg, and then use the “Batch” command to change a whole folder on files.
Here’s what happens so far: I open a file. Then using the “action” pallet, I record the following:
Save as…
I change the “Save In” folder to a different folder.
I change the “Format” from Photoshop (PSD) to JPEG (JPG).
Under JPEG Options, I use the default file size and hit OK.
I them hit the Stop button.
Seems simple enough. And it works for the first file.
But if I use this “action” on a second file, it writes over the original file.
So, how do I create an “action” that allows me to automate the “save as” function and change file types.
This must be a common operation. I have 300+ .psd files that I need to change to .jpg.
Check the following
PSPx5.
Tools.
Smudge Brush.
Size 40. Doesn't matter what size.
Hardness 100. Doesn't matter hardness setting.
Step 1.
Density and Thickness 100.
Rotation 0.
Opacity.
Here's my problem. If I set it to 71 or below nothing happens. If I set it to 72 or higher I get a big smudge. I can't get an opaque smudge. 72 I get nothing and at 73 I get a lot of smudge. I can go with a higher setting ok but I can't get anything below 72.I can play with density but that' gives a different result. Not what I want.
I have setup a command within an action to "merge visible (with duplicate)"... and sometimes this action runs perferctly well and does what its supposed to, but other times it simply performs "merge visible" without creating a duplicate, and thereafter the action has been changed to "merge visible" forever, until I re-record it that is.

Is this behaviour normal? Can it be fixed?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am attaching my dynamic block that I am having difficulty finalizing. My goal is to be able to stretch or resize the hvac block, based on the size that is provided to me (ala 24x24, 36x36, 48x72, etc) (Stretch Action), I have that figured out, and I have the symbol in the center that stays centered as the block size changes, (Move Action).
Here is my problem, I want the symbol in the center to stay centered and scale based on a ratio as the overall size gets larger. So for example: if my size is a 24"x24" I want the symbol in the center to be approx 12" dia, but if the size gets up to say 60"x60" I want it to scale accordingly (so it could be like 48" dia), specifically maintaining the size based on the x axis, so if the it gets to a 60x72", I'd like it to still be centered but size according to the 60 width, and not stretch and look awkward. I want the center symbol to scale and stay centered in the rectangle as I scale the size.
In pervious versions of photoshop you could make a path with the pen tool and press esc to basically deselect the path without closing it. This would also allow you to make multiple paths so that you could keep making lines and then stroke them all at once. This no longer works with photoshop CC. Pressing esc just deselects the path but when you try to start a new path it continues the first one. Is there anyway to get this feature back in CC? It is such a waste of time to stroke individual paths instead of drawing all the lines with the pen tool and stroking them all at once.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have reviewed a couple of videos on how to create a watermark "stamp" by using the define brush option. However after following all of the instructions up to the point where I am supposed to select the area to define I can go no further. It says to select the image/text and then go to edit -> define brush. When I do this the define brush option is faint and I cannot select it. The videos all appear to be done using Elements 11 or earlier. It this a glitch with 12?

I am trying to create a brush of a bubble. The end result I want is a colored bubble with a white shine like in this tutorial [URL]...... I am trying to make it into a brush so that I can replicate it easily and add an overlay to make the color.
