Photoshop :: Using Actions: Saving Files With Consecutive Filenames
Dec 3, 2002
Question about saving images through an action. According to the 7.0 help manual, I should leave the filename as the default if I want my files to be saved with consecutive names (i.e. image01,image02, etc).
I created an action to do a number of things before saving my file.. everything works great except that photoshop keeps saving my file as 'untitled-1.jpg,' which overwrites the previous file of the same name. What can i do? Feel free to IM as well.

I need Photoshop to save my files with automatic consecutive numbering.I have lots of image files with several photos and/or negatives scanned in each image file. I need to individually select every photo or negative to be able to cut and paste in a new file and then saving every pasted photo/negative in a separate image file.
Â
Now, I have automated the cut and paste process, and also recorded some effects with Actions, but when I come to saving the files I always get prompted to enter a file name no matter if I record the save as "Save" or "Save as".
Â
Is it possible to make Photoshop saving each file automatically with an automatically assigned number? Example: Photo0003.tif, and the next file Photo0004.tif, and so forth. Just so I won't need to enter a file name manually each time?
Â
Saving by Batch processing is not a solution since every file I open have to be divided into like 12 new separate files and saved with different names.I use both CS2, CS5 and could sit with another machine with CS6 if thats whats needed for the job.

I am in the middle transferring all my programmes and data from an old to a new machine.
Whilst setting up CS2 I realised that I did not have a number of my own actions on the new machine.
I have rooted all over CS2 and cannot find what looks like the folder where my actions are saved.
How can I save these actions and transfer them to CS2 on the new machine?

I would like to save my actions correctly --so I can transfer them from CS to CS2----Have read threads but nothing seems to save in the Adobe >preset > action folder ..as a atn.file?
To export actions from Photoshop CS:
1. Select the action set you want to migrate in the Actions Palette.
2. Choose Save Actions from the Actions palette menu. ( Always grayed-out ?)
3. Specify a destination to save the ATN file.
4. Click Save

My actions are saving when they feel like it. In CS3 I created them and there they were.
In CS4 I make them and sometimes they are there and a lot of times they are not.

I've recently created a set of actions that my coworkers and I commonly use at work (in TV news). However, we all use separate computers each with its own copy of PS or a network shared version.
My question is where does PS store the actions or action sets I have created on the HD and then how can I take those files and copy them to another computer. I also want to backup the actions on my home PC (i.e. save them to a disk and take them home). The only action file I can find is "default actions.atn" but I can't find any of my custom action sets. Also the only other way I can figure out how to copy and share actions is through the droplet measure, but it would be a lot easier for us to keep the process action-based (i.e. inside photoshop, not drag and drop)

Trying to automate file saving in different sizes/formats through an Action in PS CS3. However, always closes the open image after the first save. Any way to automate saves but leave the images open in PS?

I intend to do a full new install of vista 64 bit thereby causing the reinstallation of CS3. Is there any way to save my actions so that i can use them again after reinstallation rather than having to recreate them?
Secondly, is there any information whether CS4 will support more than 4 gb of ram?

using automated actions on my photos for a while, (rotate, re-size etc etc), but whenever I do this, every single time it asks me to complete the "Jpeg Options" box (compression levels).
Can I override this, and just set it so it automatically saves at a particular setting? when i've got hundreds of photos to have to click "ok" on each one!

Target a folder with xxx .gif patterns (in the same size)- Setup actions to batch open each image from the folder, copy the pattern image individually over to a .PSD file that have a silhouette of the sleeve.- Apply the individual pattern to the clipping mask- Save it out as .png
Â
Issue:So far ive only had the automate > batch process to save out one .png with the pattern correctly applied to the silhouette.
Â
I close down everything and initiate automate > batch process then Photoshop will complain about not being able to locate the clipping mask.In my action setup I first open my .psd containing my sleeve shape, then open an actual pattern image and then all other steps ending up with saving the .psd with pattern clipping mask to .png. URL....
Â
In this one below, ive closed everything and run the automate > batch process, which gives me the error you can see here: URL....

I've created a process to make photos look like Lomography and can't find a way to save the process so that I can apply it to say, a whole album.

When I open, say, 10 images at once, I see (10) individual "restore down" windows atop each other;I then maximize top window & process; when I close top window:in my CS1, next window=image auto-maximizes window & sliders will appear if I zoom to 100%
Â
in my CS2, next window=image is still "restore down" & I have to click windows upper right "Maximize" icon
Â
Question: how to get CS2 "behaving" like CS1?

I had my automatic save set up for every 10 minutes but files were not being saved regularly. I deleted files from the Temp folder thinking it was full and now there are no .sv$ saving at all. How can I make drawings save automatically every 10 minutes?

I made an action that opens, resizes, saves and closes files. I loaded it into "file>automate>batch" and designated both source and destination folders(which are different). For some reason the batch processed files are not saving to the designated destination folder specified in the batch gui.
How can i correct this?

I'm a commercial photographer using PSCS2. I routinely will shoot small jobs with between 100 and 200 images. I shoot RAW 100% of the time (Canon 10D & 20D). I transfer the images from the CF cards to my computer with a card reader and then use Bridge to open them up. I rename them in Bridge and delete any obvious dogs. The rest (say 140+ images) I open in Camera RAW. I do all of the exposure, white balance, saturation and the like in Camera RAW. The only thing that I like to do in Photoshop proper is to sharpen the images with Smart Sharpen and then save the crw/cr2 files as either psd files, jpegs or both. I'll write an Action to accomplish that.
I take the 140 RAW files and I open them ALL AT ONCE in Photoshop. Once they're open I can use the Automate feature and run the Action on all of the open files. But to open this many files takes about an hour to an hour and a half! My computer I should mention is a 64 bit AMD with 2 gig of memeory so it's no dog.
Can I run the action on the files in a folder WITHOUT OPENING THEM?

My computer crashed and I had to recover my HD professionally a few months ago. I bought a new HD, reinstalled all my apps and copied my files over to the new drive.
I cannot seem to find the file that had all of my actions from the old harddrive. What file would I be looking for? I search for all .atn files on the recoved hd and copied them over but my old actions are no where to be found.
where these files are stored?

simple programme for consecutive numbering of forms while digitally printing? e.g. adding consecutive numbers to a batch of pre-printed invoice sets. One original, but numbers on it increasing or decreasing as they are printed.

Anybody able to point me in the direction of a plug-in/software that will add the filenames to a batch of 200 images and then assimilate them into a template, ready for printing?
I use CS and can do this in Picture Package a few at a time but it is a little cumbersome. I am a school photographer.

I use smart fix to process multiple files in organizer. Smart fix creates a new version of each file with a filename with "_edited-1" added to the original filename. I then flatten version set, and tell Photoshop to delete the original files. Now I have the edited files, all with the "_edited-1" filename format. I want to retain the original picture filename. Outside of Photoshop, I can bulk rename the photos to get rid of the "_edited-1" additions to the filenames, but then Photoshop needs to rebuild the database. There must be a simpler way to edit all the photos and retain the original photo filenames. I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 and am inexperienced with the package.

Is there a way to automate repetitive actions such as file size and file saving to the same folder?

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.

If I want to drag over several pictures from the grid to an album or choose for them printing, as soon as I highlight more than one the file name stops showing in the information box. Therefore I can't figure out which pictures to highlight (after I have spent a long time analyzing each one individually). Some of my shots are so similar that I need the file name to choose the correct ones for the batch I want. Is there a way to see the filenames in the grid?

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.

Deleting files and saving files brings up an error message. Files can't be deleted from lightroom which makes editing a nightmare. Also Saving Files (raw of jpeg), brings up an error message everytime.

We are using Autocad 2012 and 2012LT in our office and with this version started using the built in feature of DWG to PDF. One issue we have come across is, if we create a pdf file and then need to recreate the same file we can not overwrite the existing file. We are forced to either give the new file a different name or go back and delete the existing file prior to creating the new one.

I know a file with the same attributes of an existing image cannot have the same filename and that duplicates will add '-2. But the images I'm importing are not already in a Lightroom catalog. I don't understand why Lightroom is adding '-2' to the end of each filename.

I’m working with an external team of artists and they supply meshes to me in .3ds file format. They just upgraded to 3ds Max 2013, and now the materials defined in the .3ds files don’t seem to have textures associated with them. I can see using a binary diff on the file versions that the material names have also been contracted to just their first letters. I have found the material names elsewhere in the file, but not the texture filenames.
Has something changed in the .3ds exporter with Max 2013? The files are coming out significantly smaller, which is good, but without the textures in materials I can’t use them.
