Hi everybody,
So I have an action to split up an image into multiple images, and I'd like to have the action save multiple created images. The problem seems to be in getting PS to automate a "save and close all" step. I've tried a few things that don't work.
I first tried using one action to go through all the source files and then split them up, and then a separate action to save and close all open files. This works in theory but because so many files are open simultaneously it quickly puts the system into a crawl except on the smallest batches.
I also tried recording an action with the following steps: split up the source image, then save all the open images. So if I split the source image into 3 images, the action would have 3+1 (for the new + original images) save and close commands recorded. This only works if in batch mode the source images are split into the same number of images. Otherwise in batch mode source images split into more than 3 images will leave images unsaved/unclosed and more problematically images split into fewer than 3 images will confuse the batch processor which then halts for further directions. Negating the value of automation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. |
