If I can understand what exactly you want then you need to turn on modal control for Set current text layer step. With modal turned on, action will wait for you to change text and confirm then will play the next step. ... View more

Let me try to give you some guideline: Place second photo above the first photo. From your uploads I can understand that you have files with transparent backgrounds. You can not use Place command in indexed color mode so change color mode to RGB. Clip the second image/layer to the first image.layer. With above layer selected press Ctrl/Cmd + Alt/Opt + G. Optionally apply Color blend mode to the second (above) layer. ... View more

I can not reproduce this problem. To test do the following: Record simple action with single step to change image or canvas size and turn modal control on. Since action must open dialog you can see what is open: layer or you have somehow Background layer. Process a couple of images and you will know is there some problem with script or your action. Update: it does what you are describing when you are batch processing to save as JPEG files what I have skipped because you have files with transparent background.

I have created template and recorded action.

I am running 2.3.0 version while testing. Note: I will assume that all your images which you want to use for replacement are 940x842px with single layer present. Open PSD template which I have prepared in Photoshop. Load action Batch replace SO content (it is included with template) With template with frame claudio.psd open in Photoshop (I am repeating just to ensure) evoke Image Processor Pro from File > Automate. Choose folder with images at the top (section 1) Choose where to save images (section 2) In section 3 (File types) you should have 2 tabs: one to save JPEG and another to save PNG files. That's what I have understood, you want JPEG and PNG files saved. Important thing is to check Run Action. From the first drop down list choose Batch replace SO content and from the second choose: Replace SO content. That is action set name and action name which I sent you. Check Run Action on both tabs to run action for both: JPEG and PNG files. Test with a couple of images like 5 or 6 to see if everything works as you expect. Ensure that you have the second (latest version downloaded). In the first version, I forgot to merge layers in edited SO layer what will create a huge file when batch processing lots of images. ...
