i am quite new to Photoshop and using CC 2017. I have a circle .png image and I want to put around it a colorful ring. I make for this 2 circles surrounding circle image and a make form substract at overlapping and apply some gradient to resulting ring. I merged all layers and i save this work as a transparent PNG and looks ok.

I created an action with all these steps to apply to 500 similar pictures. The problem is that the result of batch processing is quite different. No outer ring!! What am I doing wrong?

    Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

    Are all the images you Batch identical in pixel dimensions and resolution?

    Please post screenshots illustrating the steps and of the complete expanded Action in the Actions Panel.

      i dont know how to save action steps in text format. tried a screen shoot but is to big.

      i did:

      - i started recording

      - i selected a circle area then select inverse and cut in order to have just my circle;

      - i created another 2 layers with 2 different circle with the same center as my image circle

      - i combined shapes of last 2 circles in order to get a ring.

      - after this i had 2 layers, one with circle image and another with ring

      - i applied a gradient to ring and rasterized the ring layer

      - i merged the layers

      - i saved as transparent PNG

      - i stopped recording

      saved file is perfect. but after applying batch all files has no outer ring!

      Edit: should I rasterize all layers before merging?

      above is a screenshoot. the outer ring with a gradient dissapears after batch processing

      below is what results

      instead of being on the outer side, my gradient ring is inside and looking awkard!

      what I did wrong??

      if I save as PNG all the files individually they look perfect. only after Automate processing they look as above. I cannot do this as I have thousands of icons
