Question

Trouble with unsharp mask in PS Action

Hi all, does anyone have thoughts on why this might be... I have an action that works well, until I turn the toggle dialog on by each "crop" step in the action (so I can verify the crop is done in the right place). When I turn the toggle dialog on, the following step (unsharp mask) no longer works and I get the error "the command "unsharp mask" is not currently available".  Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you for your help.

    Perhaps you have to ensure the being cropped document has same dimension as one you cropped originally.

      Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure how to implement this. In the action, I start by saving a copy merged version of a psd as a jpg and saving and closing that jpg. Then I open it, crop it, sharpen it and then close it without saving it. I do this about 8 times to crop it at different sizes. Where should I verify the crop size? Thank you.

      Add two steps before Crop step. Image Size (with one side same as original image and its resolution) and Canvas Size (to make second side same length as in original image).

      Please post screenshots including all pertinent Panels at the moment of failing and with the fully expanded Action visible in the Actions Panel. 

       

      What Layer and Channel is selected? 

      Is there an active Selection?

        Hi. Here are some screenshots. The channel is RGB, the top layer (with the image not the background) is selected. There is a screenshot of the actions. Thank you.

        Background, selected layer, action from cropping, using Unsharp Mask and all works for me.
