Batch PS actions running slow

[sera202]

Hi - i am using the same actions and file type/sizes as i always have, but my actions are now taking 1 hour rather than 2 mins. Any ideas?

What are your actions doing?  Are all action or just some actions are taking hours to play. If all try resetting your Photoshop tools and your UISR ID Photoshop  preferences.

Check from Actions panel menu > Playback Options what is set. It should be set to Accelerated.

phew, worked thank you

It is set on Accelerated and running way slower than before updating Photoshop

Yep, same. For me, it's probably quicker to open each individual file and perform the actions manually.

This is happening to me now too, I don't have time to do each one manually, lol 😞

Hi, is is slower only running in batch? what was the version that worked, and the one that does not anymore?

You can speed up actions if you disable the thumbnails in the layers, channels panel (maybe hide the panels?)
