First of all sorry for my English. What i want to make is, for example i apple one action to a folder including 20 photos with automate batch and after that i want to lower the opacity of the action from 50 to 30. Do i have to do it one by one to all photos or is there a way to do it all of them at the same time ? Thanks so much.

@bora1331 – How was the action modifying the files?

 

With an adjustment layer?

 

With a merged layer?

 

Did you save layers?

 

Ideally, this would be performed in a single batch step. If you have layers you might be able to perform a second batch with a new action. If you don't have layers and have flattened the file, you could possibly apply the original images over edited ones at a reduced opacity.

 

More info is required for a better answer.

You may find it easier to take a screenshot, rather than a photo:

In your layers panel, is it the layer group shown as highlighted/selected/active?

Presuming that the layer is named the same in all images and there is only one layer of that exact name, you can record an action to select a specific layer and adjust the opacity. Then you can batch apply this action to all open documents or saved documents with this layer structure.
