Can Hdr Toning Be Batched In Cs6 ?

I have about 700 RAW images I want to batch process through PS.
All I want to do is reduce their size from 5184 X 3456 to 900 X 600 @ a resolution of 150 and save as JPG files.

Since RAW files run through ACR first and there's no way to reduce images size I just run it and end up with full size jpg's.
I run the JPG's again through Bridge and select Tools|Photoshop|Image Processor and selected "Open first image to apply settings" but when I run this there is no pause to reduce the file size.
It just runs through all the images allowing me no option to "Apply Settings".

I realize I can record an action to do this and use Photoshop|Batch but I'd like to know why this isn't working.
Thanks guys.

Post 10: Sepia Toning

Hello! I am new to this forum and signed up for the specific purpose to get expert advice.

I am doing research on a project and was wondering if anyone can tell me if these two images can possibly be manipulated images. I used to work with Photoshop, but it's been over 10 years now. I know the technology has come a long way so its hard to decipher what is real and what is not real. These are screen shots, because I am new, I cannot post a link yet.

Thanks you!

I have several images in different layer in PS3 ( macro images with different points of focus).
I have aligned all layers ok, but when trying to blend the layer (all layers selected) using the auto blend layers tools, the tool does not give me the stacked images button.
Instead it launches straight into the process.
The results are not what I am expecting, each layer bar one has a totally black mask, and the image is not a blend of all the images.
All tutorials for the process using CS3 show a button for selecting "stack images" mine doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I am going mad with it

Long story short...I need a way to quickly drag multiple images to my canvas and put them in certain places without any of them overlapping each other. At the moment, when I select multiple images and drag them onto the canvas, they all sit on top of each other right in the middle until I go to each layer and move to their own space.

Is there a way I can automate the images to go to the correct position? Having to go layer by layer doing that manually takes a lot of time when I have 20+ images per sheet so I'm hoping there is a quicker way. I'm well aware of actions but not sure how I can use that to place images to different parts of the canvas. As far as I know, creating an action will put each image on the same spot of the canvas but hopefully I'm wrong about that and someone can show me the correct way of setting it up.

Hi all,

I have a problem with an image that I would appreciate your help with.

As you can see below, the image is a t-shirt shape made up of several images like a collage/mosaic (ignore the fact that the same image is repeated, they will eventually be different images).

I have achieved this by applying clipping masks to the different image layers over the top of the t-shirt image. What I now want to do is individually save all of these images so that they can be used as buttons in Adobe Flash. This is the part I am having trouble with.

I have tried using the slice tool which does work however the saved slices are all square shaped when obviously each individual image is not always a square/rectangle. Even saving them as a .png with a transparent background, I still can't use them as when they are brought into Flash, the whole square area becomes clickable as a button which I don't always want.

Hope I've made sense there!

Thank you.

I have a series of images taken at different dates, some many years apart, and want to get them as correctly aligned as possible. The images were taken from slightly different positions and with somewhat different focal length lenses. The result would be two images of the same scene from the different dates but corrected for various distortions. Obviously it will not be possible to correct for all distortions and positional effects but a lot could be done. I am assuming there will be a tool where you can click on a range of points in each image and tell the program its the same thing in each picture and the program will automatically transform one or both of the images so that they are more similar to each other. I have found plenty of warping and morphing tools in photoshop but not one that will do this.

Hello , first of all Iam very new to photoshop and to be honest I am planing to only use Photoshop to make wallpapers. And right now I feel that there is not alot of eyefinitywallpapers (5750*1080) that I feel that I enjoy so I was thinking I could put 3 images together and maybe add some nice blur effect so its not just 3 images together cause even I can do that just by selecting 3 different wallpapers If anyone would be so kind to help me out how to do this(and maybe even how to do some cool effects on images) please be precise since as I mentioned I am very new to this

Plan on printing some large format Chromaluxe white gloss aluminum prints

Using a vendor/trade printer I work with just outputs what I upload

My issue is I am using images from 20 mp camera, believe files are about 5500 pixels wide so decent resolution but vendor wants 300 dpi at actual size which would equate to only about half the size I wanted to print
Looking to print as large as 36" x 24" but at 300 dpi my source file is about 18" wide
Started as RAW files

Since most cameras I think produce images in this range, I imagine this is a common issue. What would you do

Not place this order
(This vendor only has large sizes for the 3:2 ratio I desire)

Have photoshop up sample to 300 dpi or 240 at least using their tools?
If so which one of the options in photoshop do you use?

Submit my lower resolution files as is and hope for a good result

Thanks

Hi,

I have an image that I wanted to alter part of, and cannot work out how to do it. In the attached pic, the yellow marker on the far right is turned too far to the right (the black part of the cap shows it is too far right and not 'face on' to the camera). Similarly the green pen second in from the left has the same issue.

How can I isolate the markers with this issue, and rotate them vertically (on the axis as such) so that the images of these markers are directly 'face on' like the rest of the markers?

I have read about 3D conversions but not sure how to do it, and would have thought there is another way to resolve rather than having to convert the image to 3D? Appreciate any advice.
