Photoshop Wonderful example: thousand image Automatic Processing

Wen/Xiangjun

Our department has recently to welcome new students and parents to visit, in the lounge to use projectors to show the introduction of the college and related professional ppt. Making slides requires nearly thousand images to be processed into a certain size, CMYK color type, and JPEG format. One piece of processing is impossible, so around to find friends for help, finally found a good way: with Photoshop action commands and batch commands can easily handle them.

First, we have to make the action command we need.

First, open Photoshop, select the window → action command, and open the Action Command window. At this point, the action command bar has only the default command sequence and some default actions.

The second step, the "file → open" action, any open a picture. Click the action command bar "Create new Action" Shortcut command icon, a new action is created in the "Default action" sequence, the command dialog shown in Figure 1, the "My actions" in the Name field, and the end of the [record] button, which results in Figure 2.

Step three, start creating the actions you want (the computer will automatically record your actions, save batch processing time, preferably each action is prepared in advance, recorded actions can be one-step):

1. Limit picture size: Execute the "file → auto → limit image" command, open the Figure 3 dialog box, set a series of parameters as needed, click [OK].

3. jpeg format: Execute the file → Save As command, select JPEG format in the Format Drop-down menu, click Save, Open the JPEG Options dialog box, select High in the Quality Box Drop-down menu, and click [OK].

Step Fourth, click the Stop button below the action command bar to stop the recording. At this point we need to complete the action command.

Second, then the use of batch processing command, to achieve the effect of one-step

Get ready: Put all the pictures you want to work into a folder and create a new folder to place the processed pictures. The Execute file → auto → batch Opens the batch command box, as shown in Figure 4. Then set the individual parameters and options.
