batch tint on png - when i flatten i lose the transparency

[paulh42100849]

Hello

I am trying to run an ACTION i have recorded on a batch of files (the action only puts a tint on the image, its pretty simple)

However, the images start as a png with transparency (cut out around the image), so no white background

When I run the batch, I was told to flatten the image at the end, otherwise, I get lots of files save prompts

so I guess my questions are

1. do i have to flatten

- if so can i flatten without losing the transparency

2. if not, well then i am confused

Thanks

Flattening an image means removing the transparency.

Please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

You have provided no meaningful information on what the Action includes and how you set up the Batch.

oh ok, so here are 2 screen shots of the details

Its called Attempt 1, 2 steps

This batch below, gives me no errors but only 1 file is made, I think its overwriting

And here are my batch settings, (i have tried a few)

There can be no Adjustment Layers in a png, so you may have to merge it into the Layer but you don’t need to flatten the image.

Otherwise I recommend you try using Image Processor Pro instead of Batch.

merging layers did it, cheers
