I just replied to your other comment, but a version of this script as well where I can open multiple dngs/CR2s as smart objects (skipping ACR) would be amazing. Thank you for your help!

Hello, I have found this script very helpful. How would the script be modified to use the "Open as Smart Object" option?

Gonna add my +1 to this. Sad to find out that this doesn't exist. I would have put money on this already being a thing in Photoshop.

Don't you just *LOVE* it when Adobe breaks your workflow with updates and costs you time/money? Camera Raw 16.2. In the new Crop/Geometry tab, holding Alt and pressing an up or down arrow key no longer navigates to the previous or next photo in the film strip. It works in the Edit tab. Why did they move the geometry adjustments anyway? And while I'm here, I suppose there's no possible way to get the older crop view back, where the photo remains static and the crop box moves, instead of the crop box moving the whole canvas as you adjust it....?

I, too, would like this feature, and it would make my workflow a bit easier and speed things up a little bit every day.

The tint isn't "out of whack" at all - it varies normally due to AWB in camera. I just want all of the photos at zero tint. Say you take a picture in one room of your house and there's no heavy green or magenta colors - the AWB will give you a tint of, say, +4. Then in another room there's some green light coming in through the windows from the bright grass outside - the AWB will set tint to, say, +30 and give a magenta cast to everything in an effort to balance out the green light. But it should actually be much lower (more green) to be true-to-life. There's nothing wrong with what the camera is doing. It just isn't smart enough to know what's being photographed.

Hi, Gary. Yes, I very much wish to change the tint and not the temperature. I'm not sure why you suggested otherwise...? As such, your suggestions do not work for me. But for the sake of those who might need the info: I'm working with raw files, and I'm using Bridge to open up multiple images at once, and I'm familiar with the "sync settings" option within the film strip.

Is there no way to batch adjust the tint of raw photos in ACR without affecting the temperature? I've done a lot of searching and experimenting over the past few hours, and I just need to make sure I'm not missing something. I have a bunch of photos that were taken with auto white balance in camera, so the color temperature varies for each one. I'd like to keep the auto temperature, but I want to make the tint for each photo zero. It appears there's no way to do that to all photos at once - each one has to be manually edited to zero tint. If I select all of the photos on the side bar and set tint to zero, all photos will also adopt the color temperature of whatever photo is being displayed. If I try to sync settings with a single photo edited to zero tint, there's only an option to sync "white balance" as a whole, which includes both temperature and tint. But I just want to sync the tint.

I would use Save As, but it also remembers the location saved to. I'd like my edits to overwrite the originals in the folder I opened them from, and I'm often opening them from different locations. Never tried Save for Web in an action - I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the script link!

I looked for an option to attach but couldn't find one. Now I see it - the camera icon. Which doesn't make sense, because there's already a pretty common "paper clip" icon for attaching things... How can you see the compression setting used? That sounds very useful. Anyway, I've figured it out. Your comment caused me to test something, since the manual pic was saved at quality 8 and the action was originally recorded at quality 6. Turns out that the action doesn't care what quality you record it with - that info is not saved. It uses the last quality setting used. For the two pics I posted above, I ran the action first. Then I did it manually, and in the Save dialog box, I had to change the quality from 12 to 8. Presumably, that means that the action used 12. Sure enough, when I would manually save with 8, the action would then give me small sizes. When I would then manually save at 12, it would then give me large sizes. Much thanks!

Hi! Sorry for the late response. Yesterday, they were saving via action just fine, to sizes ranging from 200KB to 1.5MB. Today, all the pictures I edited all came out large (2MB-4.5MB) via the action. This is crazy! So I used a pic from today. I went through my editing process on the same pic twice, exactly the same way, only for one copy using the action to save/close the final image and for the other copy doing the steps of the action manually. The results came out as expected: http://www.thatonesummer.com/other/large.jpg http://www.thatonesummer.com/other/small.jpg The "small" one, of course, being the one done manually, and the "large" one done through the action. Thanks!

Hey, guys! I originally posted this over at Photoshop General Discussion, and was told you might be able to help me figure out what's going on. Original post: ******* I have an action that saves my images for my clients as 2460x1640 JPG at quality 8. Up until around July 25th, each image saved this way came out to about 200-600KB, which is very convenient for uploading and sharing. Since that time, however, all such images saved in this manner have sizes between 2-4MB. This is much, much less convenient, considering I deliver images to clients by the dozens. I have not opened Adobe Application Manager to update Photoshop or anything of the sort. This started happening on its own. Why? I changed the quality of saves to 6, and there's little to no difference in file size - they still end up at 2-4MB. Has anyone encountered this, or is anyone able to replicate it? Help! ******* Additional info after discussion: 1.) Doing the action steps manually results in a lower file size like normal. The action itself seems to be what's creating the problem. 2.) Re-recording the action provides either no change in results or, strangely, temporary semi-effective change in results. I've re-recorded it twice. The first time, it still gave very large file sizes. The second time, it gave 800KB-1.5MB file sizes (still a bit too large, and at lower quality) for a while. Then when I had more work to do later, it started giving me 2-4MB file sizes again. 3.) Resetting preferences has had no effect. 4.) Had the Photoshop CC version previous to CC 2014 when first posting. I have since installed CC 2014 and there's no change in results. I appreciate any input! Thanks! -Tom

Just thought I'd chime in here and confirm what Ola_1974 wrote in his last post. Last fall, I upgraded from an i7 2600K Dell XPS to a dual Xeon 2630 HP Z820 workstation with a better graphics card. The only "downgrade" was my CPU clock speed. I found the responsiveness of AE while editing to be slowed down, while actual rendering time decreased by 2.5x. Thus, don't ignore CPU clock speed when building/buying a system. More cores will benefit you for operations which are obviously multi-core (like rendering), but not much else.

For others out there: I just fixed this problem by installing an earlier version of QuickTime. I downloaded 7.7.3 from Apple's website, and that threw the error. Then I tried 7.7.1 from a backup HDD and no more errors!
