 |
|
I have a problem in Photoshop.
I have psd files, containing 3 layers. The first 2 are group layers containing 2 different logo's for 2 companies. The 3rd layer contains the productimage. I made an action for HDR and I need to do that in a batch for about 3000 psd files.
The problem is, that when I do a batch, the action automatically tries to do it on the first layer, but it needs to take the third layer.
Note that all 3rd layers on every psd file has a different name. Also I can't place the 3rd layer on top, because of the fact that the logo's aren't visible anymore.
I hope you can contribute this question to the right person and see if there is a way to edit your action or batch in photoshop, to make the action take the 3rd layer everytime, on each file.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
D.Rovers |

If the first 2 group layers are the same on each image, is it possible to create a work around by creating an action that deletes the first 2 company logo layers. Then run your action for the HDR. Then run an action that inserts the missing layers back in again. |

OK scrub that first idea. Then you record your action, use the keyboard shortcut Alt + , or Opt + , to select your bottom most layer.
It will be recorded inside the action as Select Back Layer and should solve your problem. |
