Can I convert a series of adjustment layers into a single action?

Hello,
I have a Photoshop CS6 document with 20-some adjustment layers and would like to be able to apply their effect to multiple image files. I'm looking for a way to convert the series of adjustment layers into a single action so that I can batch process a set of images. Can this be done?
Unless I'm missing something, it appears that no trivial solution exisits. For example, there's no option that allows for selecting the adjustment layers, right clicking them, and choosing 'convert to action.' What I want to avoid is having to redo each adjustment layer just for the sake of recording an action.
Also, I understand that I can always "place" (i.e. drag and drop) the image requiring processing into the Photoshop document containing the adjustment layers, saving a merged copy as jpeg, and repeat... but such a manual method would border on insulting to this prowess of a program.
If anyone can get creative and suggest a method of recording an action that can make use of the document with the adjustment layers and a variable document that will be passed through during the batch process, I'm all eyes!
Many thanks.

You have the other choice with drag/drop or duplicate where you copy the adjustment layers into the other image document. Target all the adjustment layers in the layer palette click on the first one the Ctrl|CMD+click on the others or if adjacent Shift+click on the last one to target all the adjustment layer then use menu Layer>Duplicate Layers... and use the pull down menu in the pop-up dialog to choose the other open image document.
You can of course record an action when you add all the adjustment layers then play that action on the other images. Twenty adjustment layer on top of an image seems a bit extreme to me.

Using QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT movie?

Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT (uncompressed) movie? Thanks...
Windows XP

Yes.
One of the features of the QuickTime Pro upgrade is "Open Image Sequence". It imports your sequencially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg) liked sized images (any format that QT understands) and allows you to set a frame rate.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
You can also adjust the frame rate by adding your image .mov file to any audio clip. Simply "copy" (Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy) and switch to your audio track.
Select all and "Add to Selection & Scale". Open the Movie Properties window and "Extract" your new (longer or shorter) file and Save As.
As you've posted in the Mac Discussion pages but your profile says XP you'll need to subsitute Control key where I reference Command key.

Can I convert an apple store gift card into a itunes gift card

Can I convert an apple store gift card into a itunes gift card. I bought the wrong one.

Hey Carterc25, I have been dealing with the same issue this morning... I've talked to the senior adviser of Applecare and "Bruce" told me the only way to convert apple gift card to itunes is by physically going to an Apple Retail Store and buy an Itunes gift card. Many people don't understand the difference between "apple" and "itunes" in gift cards so it is only obvious more people will fall victim to scheme. My advice is DO NOT BUY APPLE GIFT CARD.
Another reason to ditch Apple and be a Microsoft customer. #Microsoftisbetterthanapple

You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

Hi!
We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

I am also looking for feedback. Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document. Are there any options or work-arounds?

Combining several adjustment layers into a easily accessable preset

Hello,
the past couple of hours I've been trying to combine multiple Adjustment Layers (For example Curves, Black & White, Exposure and Color Fill) into one final preset that I can easily access later. I've been having problems finding that out, not a single input in google was able to clear up my problem. I know how to save a preset for e.g. Curves only or Levels only. But using several layers of adjustments?
Some help required (:

I will try my best. Thank you very much for the answer
Edit:
So, I just did it. You were right, easy to understand, working perfectly fine! Thanks very much!

How can I convert an array with varying length into a cluster

Hi,
I need to convert an array of n elements into a cluster. Usually, it only involves the "Array to Cluster" function. But since the array length is not constant and the number of elements in the function is constant and can not be changed programaticaly, I need to find another way to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
I also tried to do this but without success. I think that's not possible.
For me it's a general problem using labview. I often wanted to generate standard controls dynamically which is not possible (or I haven't found the solution yet). So I think that's the reason why you can't create a cluster during runtime (the program would have to add controls dynamically to the cluster).
Do you have an upper limit for your array-size? Although it needs a lot more memory, it would be a possibility to create the cluster with the maximum number of elements.
If you don't have a maximum, you will have to look for another way, I'm afraid.

Adjustment Layers not working in Actions CC

I am attempting to use the actions panel to edit a large number of product shots quickly. I have disabled the generator, which was a possible solution I saw in another post, closed my photoshop, opened it up again and tried it on a new file. None of my adjustment layers do what I set them out to do, but they do show up as layers in my layers panel. The only part of the action that works is my smart sharpen. I created the actions in CC and I don't know where to go next.

Now that you disabled the generator plugin, you probably need to record the actions again, because having the generator plugin enabled, plays havoc on
recording actions. (some stuff is not properly recorded with the generator plugin enabled)

Can I receive emails from 2 different addresses into a single account using TB?

I want to combine all emails from both addresses into a single account in TB.
I have already tried adding the 2nd account using "Manage Identities" but it did not work for me. The default is gmail and the 2nd is not.

Can you explain this?
I found this on Mozilla site. But, in my updated TB, i can find no such thing as a "root" folder that shows all incoming emails. only the "Child" folders show.....
'''Unified Folders'''
Unified Folders (originally named Smart Folders when it was added in 3.0) is a folder pane view which looks like a global inbox account by merging the contents of all inbox folders (both POP, IMAP and local folders) from all accounts. It also shows the inbox of each account as a child folder of the unified Inbox account. Any messages in an inbox shows up in both the root of the unified Inbox, plus the child folder of the unified Inbox for that account.
Each account still displays any child folders of the inbox, only its inbox folder has been "moved" away from the account. This does not, however, change where and how messages are stored. In other words, Unified is just another way to view your folders, similar to what you can do with a saved search (a type of virtual folder).
Use View -> Folders -> Unified Folders to select it. If you don't want to use it, use View -> Folders -> All Folders to select a more traditional display. Thunderbird 10 eliminated the ◄► arrows at the top of the folder pane that you could use to cycle between different views.

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,

NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

How can I convert JPG files in multiple subfolders into PDFs with a batch?

So here's the situation. I'm sitting on 400+ files, each in its own individual subfolder which also contains 4-10 other files. Those files I don't care about, only the .jpg file. I want to be able to take all of those .jpg files and convert them into PDFs, saving them in the same original folder. I've tried making an action to do this but it selects all the files in the folder and converts them as well.

Should be, yes... It's one of the options of the batch processes. I believe
it's under the first step, the one where you select which folder/files to
process. There should be a window there to select which file types to
process as well. Untick everything except for JPG and it should work...

How can I convert all of my iTunes files into mp3.format?

These are songs that I downloaded from my cds, but I want to be able to put them back on my desktop in MP3 format to put on a non-itunes compatible portable music player. Thanks!

Set iTunes Preferences Advanced Import to MP3
Select all the tracks you're referring to
CTRL-Click onto this selection - "Convert to MP3"
After that you may want to delete the non-MP3 source files

How can I convert a 680x480x2 array of values into binary and then joining adjacent elements to make a 640x480 array?

I am obtaining data from a camera and getting 10-bit data in Labview. I want to convert the element values to binary and then join adjacent elements to create an array half the size of the original.

Hi cowboy,
well 640×480 is not exactly half of 680×480×2...
- You have to read the specs of your camera. Then you should know how to combine the values.
- When you get 10bit values you probably need I16 datatype to store the values. Unless you also decrease the color resolution to 8 bit you are still stuck to 640×480×2 byte per image...
- To join numbers you should have a look at the numerics->data manipulation function palette
