I am looking to hire anyone who knows how to apply an action to mulitple layers in Photoshop. I am a student and on a bugjet so I could only pay them $75 which I hope you would be fair for a 2 hour session or at least an hour and a half? One user in the adobe photoshop server said $50 for 1 hour is reasonable. I would do $100 if I could but all i can do is $75 for 2 hours. If thats not reasonable then all I ask is at least an hour and a half

You appear to have problems with the instructions at my blog for saving code? Feedback would be appreciated on why you can't follow the instructions... If I need to re-write it then so be it!

 

Just download the entire repo as a .zip file and decompress the .zip file:

https://github.com/Paul-Riggott/PS-Scripts/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

 

Then you will find the Run Action.jsx file in the unzipped folder, already saved as a .jsx file.

 

Optionally, you may wish to edit line 12 from:

 

var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.99, 0.99, 0.99, 1]);

 

 

To the following for a dark theme:

 

var myBrush = g.newBrush(g.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1]);

 

 

The script was created for an older version of Photoshop, so the interface colour does not play nice with newer versions of Photoshop.

 

Don't edit in a word processor/rich text editor, just use notepad or another plain text editor. If on a Mac using Apple TextEdit, beware that it has two modes, plain text (good) and rich text mode (bad for scripts). Ensure that the filename only has a .jsx extension and not .jsx.txt or something strange.

 

Scripts can be run in Photoshop without installation using the File > Scripts > Browse option.

 

To install the script into the File > Scripts menu, the script has to be placed into a Scripts folder inside the Presets folder inside the program files/application folder for your version of Photoshop (you may or may not have to make the folder). Restart Photoshop and the script should be available in the menu.

 

Mac OS Example:
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2019/Presets/Scripts
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2021/Presets/Scripts

 

(If this path does not match your version, it should be a simple enough process to find the correct folder using this guide)

 

Win OS Example:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Presets\Scripts
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Presets\Scripts

 

(If this path does not match your version, it should be a simple enough process to find the correct folder using this guide)

Hope this helps...

am trying it, select layer is a part of recordningn actions. so you can apply the actions for all the document with multiple layers.
