I'm still having problems with fast export to jpg. Function became much more reliable once I disabled all the creative cloud sync features I could find, but am still experiencing intermittent unreliability. I think that sometimes the image looks one way to me on the screen but is not actually that way to the system yet, and then I fast export it before everything is all synced up and I get the wrong version of the image. So I want to insert a short pause into the action I use to do the export - I want to hit the function key, have the system wait for a second so the image is completely processed, then continue with the action, then pause again before returning to me so it's completely saved. Is there a way to insert this type of pause into an action? I need the program to continue running in the background, or there's no point, so I think that the "sleep" scripting function won't work. cheers, dave ps - I don't need any alternative workflow suggestions - just an answer to this question. ...

Hi - I'm processing a lot of scanned pages - separating the original scan files that have images for two pages into two separate files that each represent one page. After I crop the left hand side of the image, I "quick export as jpg," paste in / complete a file name, save the file, then undo to get the whole file back and crop the right hand side, repeating the process. Sometimes - I have no idea why - Photoshop exports the uncropped version of the file. Only on the left hand side file, which is the one I always do first. The right hand side file is always cropped correctly. This happens about 20% of the time. The problem is not repeatable - when I reprocess the files that had a problem, they always turn out correctly the second time. Any ideas? Driving me craaazy. ... View more

I have a lot of page spread images that I have to crop into left and right pages while removing the background - unfortunately they are sourced from microfilm and vary enough that I can't automate the task. I'm trying as much as possible to use keystrokes vs. mouse - it's faster and not as hard on my body. The only thing I can't avoid using the mouse for right now is the control of the crop box. Is it possible to control this via keyboard? Or another control surface? To be clear - I know the keyboard shortcut to open the crop tool, it's controlling the size / shape of the area the crop tool affects that I'm interested in. Even making the handles larger would be helpful (though some searching around here suggests that is not possible either) thanks for any assistance you can provide! dave ... View more
