Layer style screen pops up for each photo in Automate Batch processing

Please HELP! I managed to re-record an existing Action without problem. I double click on <Set Layer style on current layer> and change to a new Layer Style for my Watermark Text. The <Contour> is Linear. The Actions panel turns red during editing.
But when I run > Automate > Batch and select that edited Action, the <Layer Style> screen pops-up for each photo and the only way to finish the batch of photos is to click <OK> for each photo. I’m using Photoshop CS5. I have refresh Photoshop, restart my laptop but the problem remains.
I did another copy of the original Action and just changed the
value in <Text Layer> and it works in the Batch processing. This problem only happens when I changed the value in the <Layer Style>.
I have been looking into many forums and still could not find the solution. I appreciate some advice as soon as possible as this problem has dragged on for two weeks now.
Thank you in advance.

As silly as it sounds to be, I found a way out!
I decided to change the value again in the <Layer Style> on the same Action (ie Main WM Name 70 copy), and RUN <Automate> and on second RUN the <Layer Style> screen doesn't pop-up!
I just couldn't believe my eyes and did some rounds of testing! And it works:
a)Firstly, I will change the <Layer Style> to any value and saved it
(Just to test it, I Run <Automate> and the <Layer Style> screen pops-up at each photo)
b)Then I change again the <Layer Style> to the actual value I want
c)Run <Automate> without the <Layer Style> screen pops-up
To test further, oddly enough, if I change the <Layer Style> value the 3rd time, the pops-up screen appear again! And to overcome the same problem, I have to change the value 4th time, and the problem disappears.
So simple solution (at least for me) and yet I cracked my head for two weeks to overcome it!
Thanks for your time, c.pfaffenbichier.

I have albums in my iMAC with description for each photo that I can show up on slide show so that I know the place that is in the photo. If I synchronize my photos to iPOD, I am unable to get the Descriptions also copied. How do I ensure this?

I have two questions:
1) I have multiple logins in my iMAC. How do I move photos/albums from one login to another?
2) I have created albums with "Description" for each photos, so that, in a slide show, any one can see what is being shown on the photo. When I sync albums to my iPOD, the "Descriptions" are not getting copied. How do I ensure that the "Descriptions" also get copied so that it can be a real back-up?
Thanks

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

Accordion or Tabbed panel should to it, with click and open container.
Please provide site url where this does not work, also if you can provide an example where we can see the exact action then it would help us.

Different caption for each photo in web gallery

When you take your selected Photos from Library to WEB is it possible to have a different caption for each photo. If I select 1 photo from the import and change its caption using the caption popup in the "Image Info" pane all the image captions change even the unselected ones.
How can I change individual photos so that they will have individual captions in the web gallery?

You should change the caption metadata field in the Library module. Go to the Library module, select the image you want to change the caption on, in the right panel, scroll down to the metadata section. Make sure that the popup to the left of metadata is set to "default" and you should see the standard metadata. Simply type your caption here. Then, if you've done this for all your photos, go back to your web section and make sure you set the caption popup in the image info section back to "caption", which will use the info in the caption metadata field for each photo automatically.

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

Unique Meta Title Tags for each Photo HTML Gallery

I am using Lightroom 3.2 I would like to hack the HTML Web Gallery Engine to create unique title meta tags for each photo when it is selected for better search engine performance. I have been trying to mess around with the code and have not figured out what code I need to change. Does any one know what file I would need to change and what I would need to change it to enable a unique title tag based on the title of the actual photo in the HTML Web Galleries? Thanks for any help. I'm not a hard core coder by any means. There has to be someone out there that knows their LR very well.
Best regards,
Matt George

Sean,
     I tried switching <title>$metadata.siteTitle.value</title> to <title>$metadata.image.title</title> in the head.html file, but that just gave me a big error in LR when previewing the gallery.
     I tried switching metadata.siteTitle.value to image.metadata.title in galleryInfo.lrweb file, but that did not work either.
     I figure there must be a basic way to implement <title>Unique Photo Metadata Title</title> for each large photo html page in the Lightroom galleries, but I have not been able to figure it out. I assume I'm close, but since I'm not a coder like you I thought I would ask you. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best regards,
Matt George

Fill screen with zoom for small photo sizes (as in slideshow)?

Front facing iPhone 4S camera sized photos are too small in iPhoto. Is it possible to set a default to fill screen with zoom for all photo sizes (as in slideshow)? Seems like the old iPhoto worked like this.

That's what I was afraid of! I wish it would still scale photos to fill the window also if they're smaller than the window size (not just 100%), like it used to in older versions of iPhoto. Especially irritating, since the problem photos are from an Apple product, the front facing camera of the iPhone4s. I already added my complaint to "feedback".
Thanks anyway.

How to save photos in automatic batch?

How do I save the photos in the automatic batch process without manually have to save as .JPEG file for thousands of photos?
I check the override action "save as" command and it process my photos but it does not save the photos. Any ideas?

Photoshop CC.
I just have thousands of .JPEG images. I used action palette to record my edits onto one photo then save it. I want to transfer all those edits onto the rest of my other photos. So when I go to the batch processing to apply my actions, the JPEG option always pop up and I have to manually click it. The only way for me to get rid of it was to check the "override the acton "save as" command" and it does not save my photos.
Right now, my solution is to download an auto clicker to click on the JPEG option to save the photo by letting it click on "OK"

O.T. Sequential Number Text Overlay On Photos In A Batch Process

As ACDSee crops up on the forum from time to time, I thought this posting
on Photo.net on using ACDSee to put a "sequential number" text overlay on photos in a batch process might be of interest.
http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00PRhf

I don't think it's possible to manually add OCRd text, but you can add form
fields with the text in them. And yes, it is possible to search the content
of form fields, using a script.

Need help saving layer styles Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac (Mountain Lion)

I have been trying to learn Photoshop. I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion). My Adobe software has been updated. I have been doing tutorials using a lot of layer styles. In one of these tutorials, it was suggested that if I would possibly want to use the style again that I should save it. At this point I had entered all my layer styles info and was still in the window with the list of layer styles on the left (bevel and emboss, drop shadow, etc., and the "New Style" button on the right. I clicked on the "New Style" button and when another window popped up asking me to name the style, I named it. When I looked at my styles in the styles panel, I saw the little button for the new style. I saved my graphic and closed it. Later I wanted to apply this style to text in another graphic. The style was used on text originally. When I clicked on it though the style didn't look the same. Upon investigation, a couple of setting under Bevel and Emboss had reverted to defaults. They were different numbers when I saved the style. I could go back in and change these two numbers and get the same results, but I don't understand why these numbers changed on their own -- why the style didn't completely "save." Is there something I have done wrong, or is this some kind of bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much for your reply! Yes, both documents were at 72 resolution. This morning I tried to save yet another style (same resolution document). It worked when I used it the first time. Then I switched to the other style I had saved. That one took some of the bevel and emboss settings from this morning's style. The numbers which will not save are the angle and altitude under the shading section. Just now I made another document (text at 72 resolution) and both styles had changed these numbers to 120 and 30. Is this something I am doing wrong? I am trying to use text of a similar font and size. I updated my software last night in the hopes that that would help. This morning I reset preferences. Don't know what to do! Thanks for helping me!

Mailing directly from iPhoto creates .txt attachments for each photo

When I am in iPhoto, and I mail several pictures directly from iPhoto using Apple Mail, the resulting message gets sent with a .txt attachment (presumably with the photo file name) in between each photo. So if there are 30 photos, there will also be an additional 30 text attachments.
This is extremely annoying and confusing for the recipients, is there anyway of stopping this? I did deselect the option to send the titles and comments, so I have no idea why it is inserting these extra text attachments.

I tried toggling that option and testing it, and it still showed the extra .txt attachments. I looked at the files, and they are blank 4k attachments. Now if I add comments between the pictures, this text shows up in these attachments.
I noticed that in iPhoto, if you email directly using the Email button there, and deselect comments and titles, the pictures are inserted into the message with a few blank lines of text in between. When the mail is sent these blank lines are converted into text attachments.
I did an experiment and sent an email by manually attaching pictures in Mail, and ensuring there was no spaces or text in between them, and it worked. No text attachments. The moment I inserted some text or even blank lines between the photos in the message, it sent these as additional text attachments.
I tried switching to RTF format messages instead of Plain Text (which I use by default), and it still did the same thing.
I guess it's just how Mail always wants to put the picture in the body of the message, rather than just attach it to the message without displaying it on the screen... Is there a way to turn this automatic display of attachments off when composing?

How to enter comments for each photo? Preparing photos for auction house sale.

I have a historical collection of B/W photos preparing for sale to auction houses. How do I catalog each photo with custom comments? I have LR 4.4

You'll have to type that info into that field in the metadata panel. I'm assuming you want to use the Caption, perhaps Title fields, both fields should be empty for you to enter custom text. If you select all images and enter the text, all images will get the same data. So think about what you want to pop in there and if you can do so all at once or if you'll have to do it image by image.

Warning screen pops up for less than a second then disappears

After I upgraded to Mountain Lion, occasionally a warning screen with the yellow '!' pops up for less than a second then goes away. What does trhis mean, does anyone else have this problem?

Never seen it - never heard of it. Does it popup while you're using any particular application? Is it like a dialog box? It could be some third-party application trying to warn you... about something.

Is there a way to organize Layer styles in PSE 9 for mac?

Hi, I'm a digital scrapbooker. I just installed some new layer styles. They loaded successfully, but they are awfully difficult to find among all of the default layer styles (and there's no way to search for them in the drop down box). Is it possible to create a category for them in the dropdown box so they're easier to find?
Thanks!

You'll get better answers on that in the proper PSE forum.

Slideshow with individual timing for each photo just does NOT work!

i am in slideshow mode with all the jpegs on top
i go to settings
it has DEFAULT settings for the entire slideshow
it does not say each photo gets its own timing.
the arrows for the transition direction are greyed out
am i the only one who cant get this?
where does it say set a time for each individual photo
at the end of my rope
OT or anyone have you got a way to explain how to get individual timings for each jpeg in a slideshow ( source )

yeah i got it working and it certainly can be done in iphoto
there is so much arduous work one has to do to learn these i lives!!!!
you first send it to DVD
then it lands in iphoto
and you can absolutely do what you said one cant cos i just did it.
what a day all day long a learning curve for sure.
