Macros for Photoshop
Friday, 20th October 2006
I learnt how to create your own Batch Operations in Photoshop yesterday.
I used this Batch Operations Tutorial from Slightly Remarkable. It’s incredibly easy.
Open one of the pictures in Photoshop, and begin recording an Action (it’s basically the Adobe term for “macro”). You should be able to hit the “Actions” tab in your History/Actions/Tool Presets window to see the default Actions that come with Photoshop. All you have to do from there is hit the circle (record), [record the actions you want repeated], and then hit the square (stop) in the Actions window. Now that you’ve recorded the action, you can tell Photoshop to open a large number of images, run the specified Action, save the images (or copy them as changed to a new directory), and close them, all automatically.
And it means cropping 120 images takes 5 minutes instead of 5 hours.

Thank you!
I was pretty certain that Photoshop could do this but I’d never tried it before. Worked like a champ for resizing those dozens of photos I had for a client’s web site.

ooooh my! I really hope I can get this done!!! I have about a few hundred photos to change from Camera Raw (CR2) to jpg and change the size so they can all fit on a CD. It’s 9.24 pm, and would like to get some proper sleep before heading back to work and delivering the CD……
YAY!! THANKS SO MUCH!! Now, for bedtime!

Oh, and I’d like to add that I have searched the internet, and all results I’ve found just go on blabbing but never explain anything. And you did it in so few words! Great job!! Simplicity can be a true blessing! Thanks again!!
