Title: Re: Photoshop Action
I ran into a snag with a Photoshop CS4 action and I'm wondering if an
AppleScript can get around it.
The action watermarks JPEG's. The PS save command (as recorded in the
action) appears to require a complete path to the file rather than
just being able to save in the same folder that the original came
from. I'm going to do and entire web site's pictures, so there is not
practical way to have an action that knows about all the paths.
Can AS determine the path of the file be edited and cause the action
to use that same path ?
I've never scripted Photoshop so any and all guidance will be
appreciated.

Irwin,
In my point of view you just need take some care when you run your action in PS.
- the open file step MUST be recorded whit your action
- the save as MUST be recorded with your action
- when you run your batch process then you need to select the source folder
- you MUST check the “override open command” check box
- select your destination folder
- you MUST check the “override save as command” check box
- run your batch process
And you’re done
I do this all the time without problems
In my experience PS is not precisely a good model of AppleScripting
I hope this helps
