Automation in photoshop
I would like for photoshop to open a series of images, convert them to gray scale, convert them to duo-tone, and then save and close them.

Is this possible to do, so I don't have to change them all manually?


thanks,

Nick

Hi lightnb.

You will have to apply the effect individually to each image. However, to make it easier, you can use batch processing.

A good tutorial on batch processing can be found on

Hope this helps.

Deep.

It is easy to make an action to convert to grayscale and then to duo-tone. And apply the duo-tone colors you choose. Then you use the batch process to open the images, apply the action and hopefully save to a different folder or with different filenames so you don’t overwrite the originals.

Thanks, I got it working.

The files i was opening were gifs, and it wanted to save them as PSDs for some reason.

I got it to do the whole thing for me by creating a save for web action, and then closing without saving.

the only thing that it isn't doing is putting the files back into the correct subfolders.

the source folder has a subfolder called "buttons" and "status" and it pulls these images out, and dumps them all into the same destination. any ideas?


thanks,

nick
