Is there an equivalent in Photoshop to the functions of Photoroom?

[Jo37525436gw06]

I'm considering purchasing the pro version of Photoroom, which I'm reluctant to do, since I already have the expensive Creative Cloud.

What I like about Photoroom is that it offers batch processing of images and I wonder if the same functionality can be automated in PS: https://www.photoroom.com/tools/batch-mode

Does anyone use PS for this type of work? And have you found a quick way to process multiple photos of a product so they're all uniformly placed on the same background?

I've used the generative tools quite a bit but I still find them clunky and unpredictable. Keen to hear what others suggest.

Photoshop offers multiple methods to batch process images.

1) Recording an Action, then using File > Automate > Batch to run the action on an input folder of images. Droplets are similar, allowing drag-n-drop automation at the OS level.

2) Using a script, either one that ships with Photoshop, such as Image Processor, or a custom script written for specific purposes.

3) The Adobe Camera Raw plugin for raw camera files or JPEG/Tiff/HEIF can also batch process (faster than Photoshop)

4) Adobe Bridge offers batch output and workflow automation.

It all comes down to specific use cases.

File > Scripts > Image Processor is super easy to use.  It will batch a folder full on images, and run an Action on each one.

Stephen is the man for this sort of thing though, and can show you more powerful options.

Thanks all for replying. I've used droplets, scripts, actions and batches previously. But can you create one that uses the exact same prompt for multiple images so you've got different angles of the same product? But with the same generated background?

I might have to standardise my photo set up so that a background layer can apply to multiple products' positions.

[Stephen Marsh]

The prompt can be recorded, however, by its very nature, generative fill is random.

I'm not sure that generate image, which can use a reference image, would be any better in this regard.
