Hi. Does anyone know if there is a way to record blend if adjustments in an action? I'm trying to get images ready for a timelapse but when I make a blend if adjustment, it doesn't get recorded in the action. Does anyone know how to make it work? Thanks.

Hi JAWS,

It's Jay here from India. How are you!

 

I just face this problem while making my action. so I search online for the solution but many people are facing this problem and the solution is not found on google.

 

so I was trying different alternative methods and finally, I found the best one which will help you also with your action:

 

  • First, Stop your action and make all the adjustments with blend-if, and then instead of pressing "okay" make it a new style by pressing the "New Style" button and give it a name you want. 

 

 

  • Now open "Styles" Pannel by going into "Windows > Styles". You will find your recently made style at the bottom.
  • Now Start making your action as usual you make but stop when you need to apply blend-if.
  • Now while your action record button is on, instead of a double click on the layer to make blend-if just select your layer and simply click on the Style swatch you recently made from the style panel. it will apply that blend it to layer and action will also remember it.

 

 

 

 

This will solve your problem. Let me know if you face any problem.

I'm running the same Photoshop version but instead of recording it, it just says "set layer" where blend if should be. I don't have the layers under a set folder. Think maybe that could be the issue?

I can record a blend if gray on a single layer document.
