Using the Batch command (Photoshop)

The Batch command lets you play an action on a folder of files and subfolders. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images with a single action. Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug-in module that supports actions. (If the third-party plug-in wasn’t written to import multiple documents at a time, it may not work during batch-processing or if used as part of an action. Contact the plug-in’s manufacturer for further information.)

When batch-processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.

For better batch performance, reduce the number of saved history states and deselect the Automatically Create First Snapshot option in the History palette.

To batch-process files using the Batch command:

1Choose File > Automate > Batch.

2For Play, choose the desired set and action from the Set and Action pop-up menus.

3For Source, choose a source from the pop-up menu:

•Folder to play the action on files already stored on your computer. Click Choose to locate and select the folder.

•Import to import and play the action on images from a digital camera or scanner.

•Opened Files to play the action on all open files.

•File Browser to play the action on the selected files in the File Browser.

4 Select Override Action “Open” Commands if you want Open commands in the action to refer to the batched files, rather than the filenames specified in the action. If you select this option, the action must contain an Open command because the Batch command will not automatically open the source files.

Deselect Override Action “Open” Commands if the action was recorded to operate on open files or if the action contains Open commands for specific files that are required by the action.

5Select Include All Subfolders to process files in subfolders.

6Select Suppress Color Profile Warnings to turn off display of color policy messages.
