Batch Processing in photoshop

Use Natch Processing to automate changes to many images.
Suppose you have fifty images that you been scanned sideways and you need to rotate, desaturate and boost the contrast of each one. You only have make these changes to one image and photoshop will do it to all of them.

-        Open one of the images.

-        Create a new action, make the alterations you need to make to the image (rotate, desaturate, apply curves adjustment etc.) and stop recording. (you don’t need to assign a function key if you’re only going to use this action for Batch processing)

-        Close the image. DO NOT SAVE CHANGES, the action has recorded the process you want to use. If you save the changes then this image will be processed twice when it comes to running the Batch.

-        Go to FILE > AUTOMATE > BATCH.

-        In the PLAY field, Choose your  SET and then, in the ACTION field below, Choose the action you recorded (it will probably be chosen for you already).

-        In the SOURCE menu choose ‘folder’ to apply this action to the folder that contains the images you want to batch process or choose ‘open images’ to apply it only to files you currently have opened in photoshop.

-        In the DESTINATION menu you can choose ‘save and close’ which will open the images, apply the action, overwrite save them and then close them. If you want to keep the original images (almost always a good idea), choose ‘Folder’ in the destination drop-down menu and then click the “choose” button below to tell PS where to save the altered images.

Underneath, there is a range of extension option if you want to add the date or a number to the end of the new filenames. If you don’t want to remember the files, just leave it at the default setting.

-        Click OK

When you run the batch, it will open each image one at a time, apply all the commands in order, save the image to the specified folder and then close it. Depending on the size of the images and the amount of actions you’ve applied, this can take a while and photoshop is unusable while it’s doing it so go and make a cup of tea or something.

Delay This tutorial took me a day longer than I anticipated to write (you’ll see why from the number of steps), but I hope you enjoy it! Final Image As always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating: Step 1 Open up a new document and go to view>show>grid. Then use your path tool to draw a path in the shape of half a wine bottle. Take your time with this step in order to get a really nice shape. Use a photo for reference if necessary. Step 2 Create a new layer called ‘bottle shape’. Then go to your paths palette and click ‘load path as a selection’. Then fill your selection with black. I had to go in with the lasso tool and tidy up a copy of edges. Duplicate this layer and go to edit>transform>flip horizontal. Then move the duplicate to complete the other half of the bottle shape. Then merge the two layers together. Step 3 Then go to layer blending options for this merged layer and apply a gradient overlay ranging from black to 110202 back to black.
