Thanks David, but I have absolutely no idea how to do that... I thought I could change the 'Z Orientation' value from zero to something else, but it didn't change... ... View more

Thanks to Mylenium and Nishu, however that didn't make any sense to me whatsoever (I guess I'm not too swift).   Attached is a video of what I'm trying to achieve (and showing what your suggestions appear to produce. ... View more

Okay, I'll try that - thanks   ... View more

I got it to work if I convert to PSD first... otherwise it won't work unless I put a 'save as' into the action itself. ... View more

Well, the glitch still is a glitch, however the workaround seems to work: put a 'save as' into the action, and don't over-write the files - save into another folder entirely... but I'll have to test again... ... View more

Here's another video... ... View more

Hmm.... well, here's another one (epilepsy warning due to sped up batch flashing) ... View more

Good news: It Works Bad News: It works only for the first three (!)   Please see video. ... View more

Shouldn't have to open the file...   ... View more

I'm not sure I understand your question: For batch processing, you should be able to target multiple files and have Ps apply the action, without 'manually' opening the files (or opening through a batch process somehow) ... View more

Thanks for the tip - didn't know there was an option to turn off »Allow Tool Recording« (must've been on in the past).   As far as the override action open command - I have tried with that on and off.... ... View more

Here's what happens - it appears that my actions AND my Batch processing are screwed up... ... View more

I'll have to retry/test  another time.... ... View more

Good point, however it is 2 boxes which invert (not whole image). At this point I was desperate to try anything for the sake of a test... I can do another one in a while with other effects - I know it STILL won't work...   ... View more

The save dates do change/update, however, the file appears unchanged otherwise. ... View more

<This might be a duplicate of an existing post - I don't know why the other post glitched and did multiples>   I used to batch process all of the time - multiple files (like 50 at a time), went fine. Recently, however, no matter what action I do, or what file, it appears that the batch process 'goes through the motions' (in that it opens each image sequentially, and closes it), but it produces no results (!) Also, when I try Scripts --> Image Processor it doesn't save as .psd files, despite doing the same, in that it 'goes through the motions' (in that it opens each image sequentially, and closes it) I've reinstalled Photoshop (Ver 21.2.5 2020 Mac), and tried doing it on my desktop and on a server - no dice. No other recent changes... ... View more

LOL - true - I guess I should've read the answer more carefully (but I still maintain to make a realistic road, it shouldn't taper off in the artwork - let 3D rotate do it. ... View more

D'oh! Must've hit that by accident - forgot to check. Thanks so much! ... View more

Another idea is to create the road or whatever in 'bird's eye' view, then use 3D extrude (with no extrude applied), and just a perspective angle. ... View more

Just saw this now - I'll have to try that - I cannot thank you enough Rick!! ... View more
