HI
I am making individual letters from a font using an action, so a b c d etc.
I created an action but cannot figure out hot to get the action to change fromlower case to upper case, and change the font. Rather than do each letter at a time
cany help appreciated
thanks

This task may be better performed via Photoshop variables:

I provided a link to the help manual. You can then look for further sources of info, videos, forum posts, tutorials etc.

It seems you can use Window > Character > All Caps and font list to record steps to change from lower to upper case and to set different font.

I'm not clear what you are doing. Change the font? Are you stepping through the alphabet or???

Basically i made the action to make just the letter a, save as filename. Then b Save as filename. c save as and so on through the full alphabet.
When i run the action it does exactly that BUT i want to be able to get it to change the font and then make letter A save as etc.
Every time i try it reverts back to the original font i used even after changing it, so i end up with the original font as seperate letters again

The action is going to have the font name embedded in it. You'd need to use a script to change the font.

A script ? SOrry for being a numbskull

You can write scripts in the Extendscript (Javascript) language to automate editing. Photoshop includes a bunch of scripts and you'll find hundreds of scripts online.
I'm still not totally clear about what you are trying to do but to automate a task where you need to change fonts, an action probably won't work.

basically yeah, i am trying to do each letter individually and save as a jpg.
Then if the action was working run it again BUT CHANGE THE FONT, so it again does each each letter and save as jpg again. And so on
Itjust so i dont have to manually tpe the letter save as jpg, b save as jpg, c save as . Then change the font and start back at a
