Hi, I use photoshop elements 2020 and I have been wondering  how can I automate this work.

 

I have an image A, like this (Is an example)

An I want to make something similar to Image B

 

 

But I have about 500 images and do it manually it's not an option.

 

In any case, it could review or correct defects of a previous automatic process.

 

I'm open to any solution and thanks in advance for  the answers!

If you have an associate with full Photoshop, he/she may be able to write an action for you. You can play the action in PSE providing the tools that are employed are in PSE's toolbox.

Hi, thanks for the answer!

Online version of photoshop costs 12€/ month

If I purchase this online version, could I do that ?

I mean, record an action myself in the online photoshop and play it the
following months in my photoshop elements.

And I didn't understood this: " You can play the action in PSE *providing
the tools that are employed are in PSE's toolbox*. "

Thanks for your replay!

Photoshop Elements has an action player. However, you can only produce the action in full Photoshop. If you use xyz (hypothetical) tool in full Photoshop, it will not play in PSE because PSE does not have xyz tool. PSE is a low cost consumer product.

I have absolutely no experience writing actions, but I have downloaded &  installed actions and played them in PSE.

The above referenced link provides more information.

Check with someone in your community with Photoshop - - there must be a guru! 

Also, click on this link and under "Search" enter actions. The moderator of that forum is named Sepiana and she is very conversant with actions.
