Trying to open just three items at a time

  • Thread-topic: Trying to open just three items at a time

I trying to think if there is a way to script Photoshop to batch process a
large group of files for HDR photography. I'm trying to make a time lapse
movie sequence and something to automate the process of composting the
bracketed exposures would help.

Adobe Bridge can do this to some degree but I do have definitive variables.
All my images in the folder are .dng files. I only need to open three at a
time.

Has anyone had any experience with this?

There are Photoshop Automator actions that could be used in conjunction with
the script.

The script would have to have you select a source folder and destination
folder; find only (in my case) .dng files in alphabetical order. Select the
first three; merge to HDR (this might become an expanded series of tasks);
save as a new file to the destination folder with a starting sequence
number; repeat for the next three and continue to repeat until done.

I"m not a scripting pro and I have only gotten so far as designating a
source folder, destination folder, counting the number of files in the
source folder, determining whether or not total number of files in the
folder is a multiple of 3.

set dng_folder to choose folder with prompt "Where are the DNGs?"
set hdr_folder to choose folder with prompt "Select a target folder for
HDRs:"

tell application "Finder"
    -- make an item list from your identified folder
    set itemList to name of every file of folder dng_folder

    set fileCount to count of items in itemList
    (*
    set multipleThree to (fileCount / 3)
     if class of result is real then
        display dialog "this is not a multiple of 3"
    end if
    *)

end tell
item 3 of itemList


Any help is much appreciated.
