Script to run recorded action folder by folder

Hi there,

I have an action to convert a photo from Adobe RGB to sRGB and than save it without an embedded color profile. I hoped to run this action through Automate > Batch, but the main folder contains 2400 subfolders with over 100k photos which overloads the memory and Photoshop crashes. Would it be possible to run this action through a script that would tell Photoshop to process first folder, then second folder etc.?

Any help or direction pointing is much appreciated.

Cheers, Jan.

For “industrial” quantities, I would suggest that you look into ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick.

EDIT: If you are on a Mac, simply use a ColorSync AppleScript or Automator to process the images from one colour space to another and to remove the ICC tag.

Why do you need 100,000+ aRGB image that are is 2,4001 folders that are any size and any image file format converted to 100,000+ sRGB Image without profiles.

The Image Processor Photoshop script installed by Adobe with Photoshop CS6 is designed to do batch Image Processing like that. It can also fit the output image to any size you may want. I would just like to know Why you need to do something like that for 100000+ images.

I can not think of any reason why someone would need to batch 100,000+ images
