Photoshop Broken Today? 3-25-26

I may have missed it in this thread, but the best way to run an action a series on image files, is to use File > Scripts > Image Processor.  As mentioned, Actions will use the folder specified when the Action was created.  Rather than fight this, let it happen and transfer the processed files.  Another tip with multiple image files is if you are placing an object , like a signature, set the rulers to Percentage.  This way the placement will at least be close to optional with different sized images.

Good luck.

One thing I would ensure is that the check marks to the left of your action are all there. If not it means they’re disabled:

May have nothing to do with your action problem, Lucky Sevens.

​@sarapia777  Based on the scant information you have provided, no one here can help. Therefore, all proposed solutions are a look into the crystal ball.

Please give us more and detailed informations about your issue. 

What exact do you tried to do? What should the action exact do?

Describe the steps so exact as possible, so we can try to reproduce.

We also need information about your system. Please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the Photoshop menu item Help > System Info. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

Do you have done the steps that ​@Claire H. wrote?

Hi ​@sarapia777, Thanks for reaching out to the Photoshop Community Forums! Let's try to figure this out by testing out a few things:

1. Resetting Photoshop Preferences: Meanwhile, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here:  https://adobe.ly/4jmvs7u. Please back up your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:  https://adobe.ly/3YW1WOu

2. If the action relies on specific layer names or document structure, those steps can silently fail on different files.

3. Confirm you’re selecting a specific action, not just an action set, when running the batch.
4. Make sure the action includes an Open step, or enable “Override Action ‘Open’ Commands” when running Batch.
5. Check out this HelpX article about setting up Actions in Photoshop: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/actions-actions-panel.html#about_actions_and_the_actions_panel

And if none of these steps work for you, can you send your system info and a screen recording of the issue? You can find your system info by going to Help > System Info, copying and pasting it into a text file, and attaching it here. Thanks! ^CH
