Straighten Action That Only Exists in Elements

Question

Hi guys,

I have found a series of actions in elements that I need, but one of the steps (Image>rotate>straighten image) doesn't exist in photoshop. I need to apply this action set to thousands of photos every month. I tried to find out how to convert an atn file to xml to edit it manually for use in elements, but this doesn't seem to work on the latest versions, and it also appears that actions can't be batch applied in elements. 😞

1. Is there a way to get photoshop to use this straighten function that exists in elements?

2. Is there a way to use scripts in elements to batch edit a folder of images with a set of actions?

What version of photoshop elements and operating system are you using?

It can be done if your using a newer version of photoshop elements.

You need the Staighten Image action from here:

As well as the Image Processor Pro script from here:

(goes in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements Your Version\Presets\Scripts)

"Is there a way to get photoshop to use this straighten function that exists in elements?" Action can not be used as it is recorded, there isn't Straighten Image menu item in Photoshop.
