Batch Processing

There may be times when you want to apply an action to a series of images. Rather than having to apply the action to each image one at a time, you can take advantage of Photoshop CS's batch processing, which allows you to apply an action to multiple images in one step. It's a good idea to put all of the images you would like to batch process in one folder before you begin the process.

1. Click on File . The file menu will appear.

2. Click on Automate . A submenu will appear.

3. Click on Batch . The Batch dialog box will open .

8. Click on Folder . Photoshop will apply the actions to all the images within a folder that you specify.

   

9. Click on Choose . A dialog box will open in which you can select a folder for the batch processing.
