Camera Raw Filter & Actions

Question

Not sure if this is correct section so bear with me if I am in the worng place. I am using Win7 64 bit CS6 perpetual.

I have installed Dr. Browns Script for "Edit layer in ACR" which I have included in an action. So far so good.

The action will take the layer and open it up in ACR without issue. What I cannot get the action to do is to record the changes I make in ACR such as saturation 100% etc.

While this is not a major issue for individual images, it does mean that the action cannot be left unattended for automatic processing.

Is there anyway I can get the action to record these changes? I am not a "scripter" so probably need a fairly simple solution!!

I know that Doc Brown says he will not be able to give any more help on his scripts - certainly this feature now seems to be part of the CC version.

Thanks for any help.

Although Photoshop CC does have a new feature that is similar to that script changes made in ACR are not recorded by an action. The only thing that is recorded is a "Edit Contents" step.

All "Edit layer in ACR" does is convert a normal art layer into a smart object that supports editing in ACR. It doesn't do anything it the layer is already a smart object.

I don't see a simple way of making edits in ACR action recordable. In fact I don't see any way to do that.
