Photoshop :: Edit Actions In CS5.1?
Sep 28, 2012
I'm trying to edit an action. I'm trying to change how I move something. I'm using a mac, I've tried clicking on the specific item in the action and hitting record; NO JOY.
Â
I've tried selecting 'record again', but NO JOY. When I click on 'record again', it quickly goes to reord, then out of record and then it's back to normal as if it wasn't recording. I've put in a lot of work on this action it's a shame.
Â
The action itself, is placing an image as a watermark, then moving it down and centre, slightly editing the image with effects, then finally flattening the image. Auto colour tone etc.

how do i edit a series of pictures in which i want the same affect applied to each picture in the series? the answer that was given was: apply all the affects you want to your picture and record that as a batch action and use that action to apply to the remaining series.

I downloaded a couple of actions from the web to my actions palette and they worked fine, but then I got greedy and downloaded a few more and that’s when things went south. Now none of the actions work - by not working I mean when I mouse over the Play Selection icon at the bottom of the action palette I get that little circle with a line through it. This happens with the PS default actions as well (I also get the circle on the Stop Playing/Recording and Begin Recording icons).
Somewhere in the following is probably what messed things up.
I downloaded actions to my computer in zip files. Copied them over to the actions folder (or somewhere) and unzipped them. I went back to the actions palette and hit “load actions” and loaded them. On the second set of actions that I downloaded I remember thinking “why am I copying and pasting these files - I bet I should cut and paste them, so I did and that may have been the start of the great crumble of 2004. PhotoShop help says: (under Saving and loading actions) “Actions are automatically saved the the Actions Palette folder in PS7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost”.
I have searched for the settings folder and couldn’t find it, but the actions still show up on the actions palette - they just don’t run.
I’m a little fuzzy on the details on the above steps. In fact, I probably did something different on each download.
one more thing, I reloaded PhotoShop, but still nothing.

My computer crashed and I removed all apps and reinstalled so now none of my actions appear. However I do have a backup file of all of them and want to reinstall but before when I was using cs6 ( Im assuming same thing as CC as it was all on the subscription plan ) I would click actions then the right arrows and it would bring me a big screen of all the actions ( even the ones that were just preloaded in ps ) and it was a big box with all the actions and some options to record etc...Now that box isn't there and it's just a single column drop down menu.

I like to put my actions somewhere special on my hardrive, not in apps folder.
Now, in past, when I saved actions CS2 would "remember" where this folder was, making real easy to save.
Lately, it keep defaulting to save as in the app folder-- even though I did navigate to my special area on last save as.

I am trying to access the edit original (edit with) option to edit a photo that has not been edited yet. I right click and go through the edit menu and does not appear or is not available? Would I have to reopen it manual in photoshop or is there a way around this to access that setting? it sometimes does not appear on my already edited photos.
I would prefer not to open each photo again, as some files i do not have and were imported into the document with another computer.

I am just starting out with the Photoshop CS5 trial. I am trying to apply a triangular pattern to a thin rectangular shape. I used the custom shape tool>triangle, then defined the pattern successfully.However, when I apply the pattern it partially repeats it along the vertical as well as the horizontal axis. Please see attached screenshot:
Â
I only want it to repeat horizontally, what am I doing wrong?
Â
Also, I am Fireworks CS5 user and am really missing the properties inspector panel which allows you to quickly and esily edit sizes of objects, is there a Photoshop equivalent of this?........at the moment the only way I can find to edit objects is through Edit>Free Transform.

I'm running on LR 5.3, but this problem persisted in LR 5.2. Working in PS CS6 and Camera Raw 8.3. RAWs are NEFs from a Nikon D600.
Â
I can't figure out what happened but suddenly I am not getting prompts when moving from LR to PS to "Edit Original" or "Edit a Copy".Â
Â
I reset all dialog warnings and nothing. The prompt will appear for TIFFs but not for NEFs.
Â
It's kind of pointless to not be able to choose to edit an original or copy with LR adjustments for a RAW when they are the file types that retain my RAW editing information.
Â
Plus, when I do click on a NEF and choose to edit in PS without the prompt (it will appear with lightroom adjustments, not as original), it will open a second icon for photoshop on my dock, and prompt me to continue trial? I have a version of PS installed with the serial plugged in, and in LR "edit in PS" for a TIFF will open this primary version.

I was trying to play around with the software to get to know it, and... well, I think I made something weird in it. Everything was flowing nicely when I was following the tutorial about Editing Objects: I created a box, I selected that edit poly option from the modify tab and I could edit vertices totally nicely.
But then, I really don't know what happened, but, I don't know exactly when, I suddenly could not move the vertices AT ALL. They are pretty visible, but when I select them, they turn red and the axis are not editable! I'm so confused! I can edit the axis very normally if I'm using an option like Select and Move but... With the edit poly thing I just cannot! I tried everything I thought of: Made a new box, restarted the program, restarted the PC! But NOTHING worked.
EDIT: It took me almost an hour to figure out I wasn’t selecting the Select and Move tool!

I am currently trying to find a faster way to create the images I use for our website at work. We sell phone cases with lots of different printed designs on but all of the actual surrounds of the cases are the same, either in Black or White.
I have created a Black and a White template and kept the front, back and side shots of the phone case on separate layers so they can later be manipulated as needed. I have all of the 'design inserts' saved as separate files which then need to be pasted into the templates (in between certain layers) and saved (one for each case colour).
I am wondering if there is an action or a way in Photoshop that I can set it to import the design into the template, then save the design, then import the next design and save, and so on and so forth? As we have well over a hundred designs and creating the images manually can take a very long time.
I have attached images of a template, a design and how I need it to look after.

I have created an action to prepare images for web posting. The action resizes images, sharpens them, adds a frame writes into the frame my contact details and lastly adds the name of the subject (location, or person's name) and then outputs the image to the correct folder. Typically I run the batch on a folder of say 30-40 images at a time.... sometimes upto 100. All run from either bridge or as a droplet via Lightroom. The action works great... except that each batch I run it on the "subject name" I need to insert is different. Is there any way at all to get the action to prompt me for just that bit of information. I've tried checking/ticking the dialog on/off option for the text field in the actions pallet and that works, but... when I'm applying the action to a batch of images it asks for the text EVERY time and doesn't remember what I typed in last time. At the moment, the solution I have is to open one image that I want to run the batch on. Make a copy of the action and enable a stop before the text prompt... run the script to that point. Then run/edit the text line, remove/disable the stop. If necessary create a new droplet. I can then go over to bridge or Lightroom and process the images using the new action. Ideally the what I would like to hapen when I'm running an action like this is when processing the FIRST image in the batch for PS to ask me what text I want and then use that same text on all the other 30 or 40 images.

i have about 100 photo cds with 80 to 100 images on each...i have copied each one to a dedicated external drive for storage and access...i would like to convert each cd (folder) to 16 base at 300dpi
to access an image now for photoshop, i have to process each image through graphic converter...
what is the "action" required to to batch convert these folders (retaining the cd number as well as image number: i.e., PCD245_001, PCD245_002, etc)...? presently, the images are tagged: IMG0001.PCD, IMG0002.PCD, etc.

trying to create an action which moves a particular item to a certain place every time, and then resizes. This place must be absolute, as I need it to be the same on a variety of images. The problem is whenever I try to use the move command, it uses a relative position. Is there anyway I can tell an object to move to the same place every time?

I use Photoshop 7 on a laptop with 900 mghz and 128 ram. Using actions along with batch processing my goal is to open a folder, and, in no particular order, apply the crop tool, levels, curves, and save for web.
Problem is I can't individually apply curves, crop, levels or save for web without batch processing coming to a stop. All files don't require generic applications. When contructing action I've inserted a stop with and without the "allow continue" option and still the batch processing stopped.
Is this manipulation of the action command not combatible with the batch processing command? Do I need to break action into several actions?

I have just discovered 'actions' in CS and started to use them to place a frame around some pics BUT one of the actions 'Recessed Frame' has me beaten & confused.
When I play the action I recieve the following messages:-
The command duplicate is not currently available. (and the others saying that others are not currently available) 'set, delete, set (again)' then the message 'warning no pixels were selected' and again currently not available, 'delete, channel frame edge' and at the end of all this I have a totally black picture area.

I want to do a simple thing - create a frame around my picture. The Help directions in the product are so ridiculous in that you cannot follow them. They tell you to look for Photo Frame which does NOT exist, then etc., etc. I've tried exploring Actions, reading all the help - the whole thing makes no sense.

Is it possible for someone to give me the short run down on how to do the following with an action? It doesn't have to be batch-applied to a bunch of files. I'd just manually apply it to the files I wanted.
1. Converts from INDEXED to RGB Mode
2. Creates a new HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer with a setting that would turn the file from say, red to blue
3. Save the file in the same format the original was (preserving transparency) and naming the file in the following manner:
original file : top_left_red.gif
new file name : top_left_blue.gif
I could then either modify this action or create a new one that could do the same but apply an orange/green/purple/teal HUE/SAT adjustment and naming convention instead. This would save me a great deal of work and time.

Is there an in-depth Tutorial online that will help me create actions of my own...I can find very basic tuts only.
Due to the basic tuts I can now make an action, but I want to extend this knowledge further such as entering the instruction test boxes, and for another example, creating a new document that has the dimensions from the windows clipboard.

I just read that the easiest way was to save the Actions in CS5 in a specific folder then go to CS6 and load the individual Actions. Sounds easy, however I can't get past the first step. Photoshop won't let me save the Actions in SC5. What can I do?

I upgraded to CS6 two weeks ago and so far I haven't recorded a single action that has not been EFFED UP in some way! I'll record the action on a test file, but when I run it on another file or a batch of files it will have at least one bizarre mistake...like the saturation will be set to 100%...or a channel in Selective Color might be set to -78%...or the opacity of a layer will be 100% instead of whatever lesser value I set it to when I recorded the action! I check the test file and it is always fine.

I have upgraded my PC from XP to Win 7.
On the old PC I was running CS3, I have installed my copy of CS4 to the new PC.
I had saved quite a few Actions on my old system to enable me to batch process graphics. How do I transfer these to my new PC?

I just upgraded from Photoshop CS5.1 to CS6. I used the "copy presets" option during the install of CS6, which worked great for everything except my CS5.1 Actions. Is there a way to easily copy over my user-installed actions from CS5.1 to CS6?
