I have record an action that replace image from wall and save as jpg actually i want this via File->Automate->Batch here is action file if any one want to see
So, after creation this action I went to File>Automate>Batch and with the settings (first image attached) I tried to select all the files in the folder (2nd image attached), but then get a ''The command 'Edit Contents' is currently not available'' message (photo 3).
When I select the images one by one, the action does its work, but after the 3rd image it automatically keeps replacing the 3rd image that I did. Is it possible to just select all the images at once and let the action do its work to save all the outcomes at once?
NOTE: I have all images in same sizes to put on wall i.e 500x750px almost 500+ photos to do batch process....
Thank you so much for you help...

mirza5313 I am not sure why you are getting that error… Close the template image if it is open in Photoshop.
Try creating a new blank document, 1500px wide x 1250px high.
Create a brand new action set and action, the record on the new action should auto start.
Use the File > Place Embedded menu and select your template image. Then press enter or the check/tick mark on the menu bar to place/scale/transform the image to the centre of the document, automatically sized to the document width/height.

Hi JJMack, I just tried your script called BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx and worked correctly! I have created three alpha images 1, 2 and 3... I just figured out that if images are ordered in ascending order script will populate correctly..
Just one thing left that is making some kind of effects Bevel and emboss effects and stroke effects as the original map image have and when I put this effects script not worked and save images as 3 blank white spaces?
Please read the documentation. All you have ask for so far is provided and has even been noted in this thread. In addition to the provided text layer styles and Image layer styles. You can edit the scripts preferences script to change some defaults and add your own text and image layer styles. Additionally there is nothing stopping you from creating templates that do things like that. One of my sample collage template demonstrates how images can overlap and images can have layers that overlays an image location in the template. Read the last template rule. Rule 4. The only layer restrictions are a template must have a background no layers should be grouped to it for you image will be places in above the Background in the layer stack in the order Image 1, Image 2,... Image n> Layers above the Background in the template must allow the images that will be placed in below the show through. You can overlay and image to enhance the image. In the sample a added a layer over Image 5 and added a layer style to it the set the layer's fill to 0 so the only pixels visible the the overlay layer will be the pixels rendered for the layer style. A template doe noe heet to and any other layer that the Background layer.
I see in your template you will be replacing the contents of a smart object to changes images. IMO smart Objects layer have advantages and disadvantages. When an image need a transform like a perspective transform or many transforms like in a Picture package where many layers share the same smart object. Replacing the smart object layer content is the way to go. For when you replace the content the layers associated transform is not replaced or modified. However this also means the replacement object need to exactly the same size as the object being replaced. When you do not need a transform like a perspective or warped one. You can still place in smart object layer that you can size position and mask. Image can be any size for the automated process can size position and mask the place in images. Image do not need to be pre-processed for use with the templates. If an image need a perspective transform if you save the populated template as a layered document you can manually use Photoshop to modify the automated rectangle transform to add the perspective or warp you need. A big advantage a script has over a action is it can use logic to look the template to see how many images you want to pace on the wall. One of more than one. My scripts can handle 1 to 53 where you would 53 actions. I'm limited to 53 images because I use Alpha channels to map the images size place and shape. At the time I was programming the scripts I did not know that Photoshop limit was 53 Alpha channels. So I had to add code to limit templates to 53 images. PasteImageRoll script could paste in up to 8000 images.
I converted your PSD template to a template that is usable with my scripts. Any size image can be populated however because your template image has an portrait orientation images used should have a portrait aspect ratio see below what happens when image are square or landscape.
Here is a comparison of templates.
