CS6: cropping a picture and repeat this on another picture?

Hi,
I have several pictures. Each "pair of picture" shows the same person on the same background/perspective/settings (using a tripod) -- but with the person on a different position.
Now I want to crop these pairs of pictures. Now I am recording my cropping of the first picture as an action and repeat the same step via this action on the second picture.
But it is possible eg to record my cropping via a shortcut and execute the cropping with another shortcut to the next picture (the "next actually opened" picture) just to do this faster?
Thanks!
mtemmp

the problem is that I each pair of photos needs a different cropping area. At the moment I record my cropping in the first picture. Than changing to the other picture and  executing only this last recording step of my action.
Then I repeat this procedure with 150 further "pairs of photos"...
Thus I thought there would be a "smoother" procedure, recording only one step (the cropping) after pressing a shortcut, then executing my cropping via another shortcut. Not less, not more
But okay, I will proceed with my solution, clicking in the action panel...

    Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

    Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

  • Script That Crops Then Saves and Repeats?

    Hello,
    I am currently new to the scripting on Photoshop. Recently I have started to perform some very repetitive actions and was looking for alternatives to get them done. I looked around the internet for a certain script, but cannot find it. The scripts function would be the following...
    Have a set pixel ratio (2048x2048)
    Start in one of the corners
    Crop the image (Mine is currently a little more than 20,000x20,000 pixels) down to the pixel ratio
    Save that portion of the cropped image in png
    Move left or right or down (whichever is logically next)
    Repeat the process until the whole file has been saved in smaller chunks
    If anyone knows if this script exists please point me to the correct resource, this would help me so, so, so much.
    For anyone who is curious, here is the reason why I need a script that does this.
    Currently I am working on the starting stages of a very large platformer game. Currently art seems to be the most heavy task on the game. The platforming world is going to be very large and hopeful everything will be unique (as in no repeating patterns or textures). There will be two artist working on the game, myself included. I was trying to find a more efficient way of saving these very large scale files in chunks. My current file or test file is around 20,000x20,000 pixels. Doing the math to save one layer of this image in 2048 block images will take 100 repetitive save motions. Take this number times 3 for the amount of layers I need saved and it jumps up to 300. In the end the game will be somewhere around 20,000x100,000 pixels, which will just kill me if I have to do it by hand. It would take days.
    I have tried using slicing and the save for web option, but Photoshop cannot handle the large file. If there are any other methods that I can use to save a Photoshop image in 2048x2048 chunks easily, please let me know. This is a sort of make it or break it deal for the games art on whether we can make it more unique or have to use a lot of repeating patterns.

    20.000 is not the product of a multiplication of 2048 and an integer.
    I can’t remember having come across any Script that fits your needs perfectly.
    If no one else can point to one and as the task is a somewhat specific one I wonder if you should try hiring someone to do it for you (if you should not be able to accomplish it yourself).

    If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered:  Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
    This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.  Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
    Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

    Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
    Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

  • I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

    Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
    File -> Export
    in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.

  • How do I set AUTOMATOR to go to a folder, get a picture, attach it to an email, send it, move on to the next picture, send it and repeat it till no more pictures are available?

    I have about 5000 (yes, five thousand!) JPG files I need to post to a blog via email.
    So, how would I go about setting AUTOMATOR to create an email, attach only one of the JPG files to this email, send it off and move on to the next; repeating this  till all pictures have been emailed off?
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Iphone 4s freezing at start up then shuts off and keeps restarting then repeating that process over and over. I have tried to reset the phone two different ways and still this problem occurs after I update it or turn off the phone.

    yes the title says most of what is going on.
    I recently reset my phone, losing all contacts and pictures. It was working fine, then after I updated it, it will not turn on completely.
    It starts up with the apple logo
    -goes to the ios 6 (please slide to open) screen
    -then shuts off
    -and repeats the process unless I shut the phone off manually
    I have tried to hold the lock and the home button down to manually reset the phone
    I have also tried reseting the phone completely previously, and I still have this problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!!

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

    wen6275,
    It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
    That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot". 
    It looks like you're on a Mac.  Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
    I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
    Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file.  Would you mind elaborating?

    your cs6 serial number is an upgrade from a previous version.  after entering your cs6 serial number you should be prompted for the previous version's serial number.
    enter the correct number at the correct time and installation should proceed.
