How to make an action that creates a composite onto one image from a non specific source??

Hi
I'm trying to create an action, But having some trouble. I have a fair knowledge of CS4 and actions but this one is tricky.
Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images. These images need to have their opacity reduced to 40% and their blending mode changed to Colour burn. They then need to be copied onto the same canvas with a transparent background.
Most of this is fine. But i need to make the action that is not image specific. So not the one i used to record it. This is for a mid process that is going to go between various other programs before display, and the hole process needs to be automated. When i hit pay or go through file-automate-batch it uses the images that i recorded with.
I realise i havent explained this terribly well but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
Photoshop Scripting
But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable.

  • How to make an action that does not record the path in which you save your file

    Hi all, once I set an action like this:
    and with the batch i can always choose the destination folder, time by time.
    But I tried to do a similar action that saves a png file, but I can't leave the "in: " empty, it always fill with a path.
    How can I do?
    Thanks a lot!

  • In APP how to make customisation so that the APP pay only one currency invo

    Hi,
    Please let me know the settings:
    for  App has to pay only one currency invoices.
    ex. we have invoicess with 3 currencies like INR , USD and GBP  but the APP has to pay only GBP invoices.
    local currency is INR.
    please let me know the customisation for the same.
    Thanks
    Jagadeesh

    Hi,
    In T Code F110 , go to free selection screen,  select the "field name" - Currency (BKPF-WAERS) from "Document" and in the Values, you can enter the INR or any one or multiple currencies by putting , for seperator. Now you can run the program asusual.
    In this case, documents will be selected for payment only your currency mentioned in the field "Values"
    There is an exclude check box also.  This excludes the value mentioned over there.  In your case, do not check this box.
    Hope it helps

    It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
    In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer.  You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together.  This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

  • How to make pics visible that was received through mobil/PC/Bluetooth?

    Does anyone know how to make pics visble, that has been recieved through emails/mobil/PC/Bluetooth to Mac or vs?
    I am able to see some pics, but some again I am not able to see in anyway, and these are standard pics taken from typically commercially available cameras, and some pics are too small to be useful. But than other they are that well to be used in many ways!
    Anyone faced similar issues?

    Hello @_goma,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I have read your post on how you are looking to make your computer send all the audio through an optical audio cable instead of the headphone jack, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To configure your desktop to enable the optical audio cable, I recommend following the steps below:
    Step 1. Click the Windows Key Button on your desktop
    Step 2. Type "Control Panel"
    Step 3. Select "Control Panel" in the top right-hand corner
    Step 4. Select Sound
    Step 5. Under the Playback tab, right-click the white area below the devices available
    Step 6. Select "Show Disabled" and "Show Disconnected Devices"
    Step 7. Connect your Optical Audio Cable
    Step 8. Select your Optical Audio Cable as the default device and click "Enable"
    Since it is not possible to convert the HDMI out to audio out on your notebook computer, it is unfortunate that the notebook is not able to connect with an optical audio cord.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • How to make labview program to get average value of 200 reading from multimeter (by using loop)

    Hello

    Another idea with less programming - take advantage of the "free" array that comes with a Chart - i.e. the  History Data.
    1) Wire your DMM data to a Chart. (You can set the chart to invisible if you don't plan on using it in the GUI).
    2) Set the Chart History Length to 200 (right click on the chart, click on Chart History Length...)
    3) On the block diagram, use the History Data Property Node, wire it to Mean.vi, and you're done.
    Easiest running average ever.

  • How to make a short clip out of the original one ?

    Some days ago, I asked a question on editing a clip in this forum. The responder asked me to provide a few seconds of the clip for his examination. But I got stuck. I didn't know how to make a clip of a few seconds out of the original clip and that it had the exact same format and properties as the original clip.
    Neither Premier nor After Effect have an ouput option such as "same as original source" .
    So, my question is how to make a short clip out of the original one with everything the same properties as the original one.
    Thanks in advance.

    May be I haven't made myself clear
    Sorry, but I think that I am still not following you.
    I want to export and render the short clip to a new file which I want to have everything the same as the original clip. Just like I cut off a few seconds off it and that few seconds becomes an independent file.
    OK, you have your original source file. It is complete and is also unaltered. If you want a "Copy" of it, just use Windows Explorer, or similar to make that Copy. If you want a separate file of your edited version of that source file (as it appears in the Timeline), use the WAB (Work Area Bar) to include just that edited instance of the source footage, and Export just the WAB. This will give you a separate file with the edits in it.
    I still feel that neither is what you want. If you can step me through, maybe with screen-caps, what you have and what you wish to end up with, I can see the operation more clearly.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How to create an gray scale png image from intensitie​s values

    Hi,
      I would like create a gray scale png image from set of intensities values which is saved in excel sheet . Is IMAQ tool necessary for this vi?
    thanks & regards
    Manoj

    You posted in the feedback forum, which is not correct for your question. I am guessing you are talking about LabVIEW since you mention "vi".

    The answer is NO. Plain LabVIEW is sufficient.

    It's good for that . . . 
    But also I don't keep all my stuff in my Mac.
    But not for that. 
    This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
    You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up?   If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
    Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
    No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
    But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
    You don't say what kind of Mac you have.  If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
    However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient.  In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
    To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
    Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    You might also want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQ.

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • How to make Folder Action work on file, subfolder content change?

    Hi!
    I looking for information in how to make a Folder Action, Work Flow or any action from Automator to work on file change and not only on deletion, moving or insertion. What I want to know is if it's possible to trigger some script or app while monitoring a folder and its contents, files and subfolders, changes. Meaning that when I have a file that has its contents updated the action will be triggered like an txt file that I only insert a new line in it, for example.
    Is there any solution that is not third party? Is there an internal Mac OS X solution that would work on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion?

    i have same problem. i would like to move automatically saved Word backup copy to another folder, but the folder action doesn't recognize the save as a new file that needs to be acted upon.
