Question

Running multiple actions

Hi all,

I use Photoshop to perform various actions on a number of TIFF files - basically conversions such as black & white, sepia etc. I have the actions set up for each conversion type and it opens the TIFF file, performs the conversion, and then saves-as a JPG.

I have tried several times to run the 4 conversions back to back but I cant seem to get it working! The problem is the naming of the saved JPG - it works ok on the first action but the second action gets a "copy" attached to the file name.

Any ideas?

One work-around might be to use JavaScripts for the Save As-portions; that way You could add specifiers in the names of the four jpgs.

If you use such brief Scripts they can be recorded into the Actions.

Would You mind posting the Actions?

The actions are fairly simple, for example:

the Black & White conversion opens a TIFF file (as part of the batch), adds contrast & brightness, adds some noise / grain, and then save this new file into a specific folder but then closes without saving any of these changes to the TIFF.

I run this action is one batch but then have to run the next three.

Be great to run all four actions in one "group batch".
