Hi

I want to auto enhance a large group of photos in photoshop or photoshop express.

I do not want to open each individual photo and auto enhance and save or export.

I want to be able to do them all in a batch. Possible to write the original file also.

Is that possible ?

Any help would be nice.

Thanks

Pedro

Files format are jpeg and heic

 

Where can I find Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in ? (maybe this one is more automate than the others)

 

If I want to overwrite the original file with the enhanced one, how can I do it ?

Not sure about Photoshop Express, never used it.

 

Yes, there are many ways to do this in Photoshop. What file format are the photos?

 

Various options for bulk processing include:

 

* Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in (raw camera files, jpeg, tiff, heic only)

* Recording an Action and using the Automate > Batch command to run the action

* Recording an Action and using the Automate > Create Droplet command to run the action

* Recording an Action and using the Scripts > Image Processor command to run the action

* Recording an Action and using the Automate > Image Processor Pro script (not installed by default, it's a free 3rd party tool)

* Custom script

The Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in is installed by default with Photoshop.

 

On the Mac, use the Photoshop menu > Preferences > Camera Raw (probably under the Edit menu on Windows). Go to the File Handling option and change the drop-down menu option to "Automatically Open All Supported JPEG and HEICs".

 

I personally would use Adobe Bridge to select the various files for the batch, then use the CMD/CTRL R key to open the selected files from Bridge into ACR. You can then select all files in the ACR interface (CMD/CTRL A) and right click on the selected thumbnail images in the "filmstrip" area and sync the settings among all selected images, then use upper toolbar the icon to save the batch.

 

This is not a complete step by step tutorial, just an overview. You will need to look into the documentation on how to apply adjustments etc.
