Sharpen all layer images for 360 product

[alice_0]

Hi,

I have 200 images for 360* product video and I want to sharpen all layers using smart sharpen. (later all layers will be exported as png and edited in after effects).

How can I sharpen all layers at once?

You can not sharpen all layers at once.  You can sharpen a composite of all layers.  You can sharpen layers one at a time in sequence. If you know how to script photoshop you could automate that sharpening process and save the png file during that automated sharpening process. 

Without Scripting knowledge You could use menu File>Export>Layer to Files... .   To Png Files. Then use menu File>Automate>Batch... to Batch smart sharpen the exported png Files.

Is it 200 images with 1 layer per image... or is it 1 image with 200 layers or is it 200 images with multiple layers per image? The last two variations could be handled by a script that recursively processes all layers in a file.

Hi, 

I am taking it thaty you mean 200 layers each containing one image, witn no other layers present.

is your desire to eventually (after sharpening) export each of these layers individually or as one single composite image containing all 200 pictures? 

thanks

Stop wasting your time. Sharpening the files before converting them to video will result in flickering due to spatial and temporal inconsistencies, especially when you use an adaptive algorithm such as Smart Sharpen. This workflow makes zero sense. Sharpen the image sequence in AE if necessary (which it likely won't need, anyway) using the tolls there, including commercial third-party plug-ins that may offer better algorithms while having temporal awareness and processing.
