Using actions to process photos

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS57a26560eb6a24db1e1a3067139e6fd9e17- 8000.html

I don't have a clue as to what you're doing, but I'm guessing you're trying to make PSE 10 work like photoshop and it doesn't. Actions for the action player in guided edit go into Hard Drive➝ Library➝Application Support➝Adobe➝Photoshop Elements➝10.0➝Locale➝en_ US➝Workflow Panels➝Actions (as in Windows, the “en_US” part is different if you aren’t in the U.S.).
Installing into the effects panel is completely different, and there is no "actions panel" there. You can install them as effects if that is what you want to do.
First, you need two files: one for the action itself (the .atn file) and one to use as a thumbnail so that you can find the action to launch it. The thumbnail needs to be a 64-pixel square PNG image with exactly the same name as the action (except for the file extension), including spacing, capitalization, and so on. Put them into <your hard drive>➝Library➝Application Support➝Adobe➝Photoshop Elements➝10.0➝Photo Creations➝photo effects. You will then need to delete the file mediaDatabase.db3. On a Mac, it’s in <your hard drive>➝ Library➝Application Support➝Adobe➝Photoshop Elements➝10.0➝ Locale➝en_ US (or your location).

  • Photo Editing Error Messages Using Actions in PSE8

    Hello I am currently using pse8 to edit photos and I recently installed a few actions. My actions are in my photo effects folder and I can clearly see them, however when I try to use them it gives me error messages such as "could not complete action as part of a program error", "the command color balance is not currently available" and "the command make is not currently available".
    Please help.

    Any time you see "the command Make is not currently available", it generally means there's a step in the action that PSE doesn't understand. Not all photoshop actions are fully compatible with PSE--are you sure these actions work in Elements? And they need to be compatible with PS CS4, which is the underlying code for PSE 8.

  • Faxing adobe pdf forms using actions in CRM service process

    Hi experts,
    Does anybody has experience in sending adobe PDF forms as a fax using actions in CRM service processes? Currently I use this by implementing a PPF BAdI, but what else configuration, software and hardware requirements I need to make faxing work in CRM?
    Is it possible to use 3rd party software to send the fax for example winfax and transfer the fax number to this?
    Regards:
    Gabor

    Dear Dezso,
    As far as I remember, we already know each other
    Our company have been using winfax in the past for sending fax messages. Now that they will use SAP-CRM shall they buy a new fax server? I have looked after Topcall, it might be useful with RFC?
    In CRM service order, I use the EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF BAdI implementation to collect the data from the service order, and then use the standard function modules to "print" or "fax" the PDF document (call function FM_NAME).
    At this function module, which structure do I neet to enter the recipient's fax number (I read somewhere that I have to use DEVICE='TELEFAX' in the output_options - is it true?) ?
    Or should I communicate from the BAdI with Business Communication Services (create recipient and similar methods)?
    Is there any way to send the fax from the local machine where the user uses the SAP GUI?
    Thank you very much in advance for your help and support!

  • Action profile using External communication processing type

    Hi
    I am using external communication processing type for PDF.I want to print the form instead of mail.
    Can anyone give me what's the difference if we need to only print it and not send to email. Also how can we allow the option to reprint when we need it.
    Regards,
    Deepthi.

    Hi Deepthi,
    If you want to print the PDF, you have to use procssing type as "Smart form print".
    Ex:
    with this you can print the manually multiple times also.

  • Why can't I save for web in a specific folder using actions?

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save in a specific folder desitnations when using Actions and Saving For Web with CS6 PS for Windows. It ALWAYS defaults to last folder used. I am not Batch Processing, just using Actions on one image at a time. I have 3 of these actions. Action one is for "Thumbnail" folder, Action two is for "Full" folder, and Action three is for "Large" folder. All these actions are doing is saving for web into these folders (path displays correctly in Action script). HOWEVER after I successfully  use Action one and save into the Thumbnail folder and move on to Action 2, it wants to save back into Thumbnail AND NOT into Full folder. In short I now have 3 actions saving to the same folder even though my recording designated 3 different locations. HELP!

    Ok...I switched to my home Mac and was having similar issues with the toggle Save for Web window on. Saving to same folder even in Mac OS. Tried your way by keeping toggle off and it worked, saving diff images to different folders. I guess I have to figure a work around for the naming conventions however. My original is a 5 digit number lets say 11111.jpg. When I duplicate / use a sizing action I get two additional photos named 11111 copy.jpg.  That is why I kept toggle window on in CS3 so I could simply paste the 11111 name back in the dialogue window so I'd have three diff size photos in three diff folders named 11111.jpg.
    These steps might seem super basic but I do these steps for a website all day everyday three months straight without issue and I guess I have to adjust. I usually use orignal photos and have to rename.  Is there a way to Duplicate images as the same 11111.jpg instead of 11111 copy.jpg? That way I can just rename the photo at the beginning (red_flower_000ddafjdflj to 11111.jpg) and not use toggle (or rename at all).

  • HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

    I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Message is not used by any processes

    Hi,
    I've made a BPM and in sxmb_moni I get this:

    How could I resolve this error?

    Hi,
    I don't understand "Is the BPM instance being created in the first place?". I've created the BPM for the first time, I don't know if you refer to this.
    When I click on PE, I get: "the action is not valid for the selected message", so I can do nothing.
    I think my user has developper key, although I'm going to make sure of it.
    Thanks,
    Samantha.

  • Photos-App: How do I find out which photos are used in a Shared Photo Stream?

    Hi folks,
    I just ecountered a “problem“ using a Shared Photo Stream.
    FYI: I have circa 1.200 images stored in Photos-App. About 360 of them are used in a Shared Photo Stream.
    Now I'd like to delete all the fotos NOT used in said Stream.
    Since the images in said Stream are not in the same order as they were originally taken, there are also many images between the ones used.
    So now I am confronted with the time-consuming task of comparing and deleting the photos, switching between Stream and Album/webview all the time.
    And do it all by hand. Naaaaaaaah! ):
    Any ideas on how to speed up this whole process?
    (I already wrote Apple to maybe add a label or icon to the photos used in a Stream (when in any other view) so it gets easier to identify the right ones.)
    Greets, Tim

    Incorrect. Photos added to the Camera Roll are automatically uploaded to Photo Stream. Photos deleted from the Camera Roll are not automatically deleted from Photo Stream.

  • Using iTunes to sync photos, ipad gets the frames but no image in them.

    When I use iTunes to sync photos or faces, the iPad shows the frames only, but no images.

    @Alan
    I have copied the photos under MyPictures on my PC.
    Basically it is the same, only that the limit above which iTunes is making nonsense is higher:
    - using the MyPictures folder on the PC, I can sync 500 photos from 12 folders in one block and eveything is fine.
    - using the external drive, I can sync only about 100 photos from 2 to 3 folders in one block or shot as you prefer
    BUT, and that is the problem, BUT in both cases, going above (in terms of # of photos and folders) leads to random outputs:
    - either I get a list of empty folders on the iPad with the message it failed to finish the sync
    - or all photos are copied but then are mixed up within different folders in which case (I do not even get an error message). With mixed up I mean the following: a portion of the photos from PC:folder1 let's say 10) are copied to iPad:Folder8 that already contains the photos of PC:folder8 and iPad:folder1 does not contain these 10 photos, so iPad:folder1 is smaller as the original PC:folder1 and iPad:folder8 is bigger as PC:folder8
    - or I get an error message within the copying process (-1401,-50, -1303)
    The difference in behaviour is the size that can be copied  in one shot to the iPad: bigger from the PC as from the hard disk drive attached to the PC.
    Does this means that the speed at which it can copy makes the difference? This would be  poor especially while thinking of iCloud Sync where the connection speed can be rather slow (for thousands of reasons).

  • Send smartforms via email using action profiles

    hi,
    i am trying to send smartforms via email using action profiles and i would like to know if anyone has any document or know any steps to do the same. i have created the smartform and i created the action in an action profile. i selected the option "Smartforms Mail". and i have mentioned my smartform in it.
    I have previously worked with action profiles to trigger workflows which sent a mail. That was relatively easier as i could mention that the mail be sent to my mailbox. But in the smartforms option, i dont know how to give the instruction that it be sent to my mailbox.. is there any place i can set it? The action is not person dependant and is done whenever saving a document.
    Please guide.
    Thanks,
    Nisha

    Hi Nisha,
    As u worked on Action profiles, i recommend u use action profile with permitted Process type as Smart Forms Mail to send the mails which contains the data in Smartform u created.
    Use below mail setting
    Form Name              (u r ZSmartform)
    Processing Class      CL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER
    Processing Method    CRM_ACTIVITY_EXEC_SMART_FORM
    Archive Mode            1 Mail only User
    In Action definition details u can mentioned the Processing time, Partner dependent for action to who u want to send the mail, further in action condition using schedule and start condition u can set the criteria to mail trigger.
    Hope it'll help u.
    Regards,
    Dipesh.

  • How to create a SlideShow in GoLiveCS2 using Actions

    Good day to all,
    I was wondering if anyone has an idea how to make a photo slideshow in GoLive CS2 using the Actions? I have no experience in JavaScript, Actionscript and am not a programmer. Any information would be highly appreciated.
    I know how to create remote rollovers using Actions but not Slideshows.
    Please advise
    Regards,
    Alek

    I suggest hopping over to this address:
    http://www.mindpalette.com/actions/index.php
    and downloading the SlideShow Kit Action. It has more than you probably need, but should do the trick. Make sure to read the documentation, it explains how to use it.

  • Problem embedding Digimarc using Actions in CS4

    Hi
    In CS4 embedding a Digimarc (with a Digimarc ID) works, as it should*, manually and when setting up and editing an action to embed the Digimarc. However when I run the action either on individual images or batches using a droplet and then read the Digimarc the correct Digimarc ID is not present but is replaced with Digimarc Demo.
    All the other information (such as transaction ID, restricted use and do not copy) is as it should be*, just the correct Digimarc ID is somehow dropped.
    I've trashed all photoshop and digimarc preferences, deactivated, uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 to no avail.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Adobe will not help unless I join the Support Program and didn't seem too interested in logging this as an issue. I'm waiting for a response from Digimarc.
    The same process worked without problems in CS3 but due to extremely slow file opening times with CS3 in Leopard we purchased CS4.
    *Another interesting thing is, having uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled CS3, the images I manually embedded the Digimarc in using CS4 (that read ok in CS4) do not contain the Digimarc when I try to read them in CS3. Has anyone else tried reading CS4 embedded Digimarcs in an older version and noticed this problem?
    Thanks
    Emma

    Hi David
    After we contacted Digimarc they tested the embed filter at their end and found they also got the same problem. Their final solution, a new pair of plugins for CS4 solved it and we can now embed using actions and droplets.
    The problem of not being able to read the Digimarc in CS3 or CS2 has now been resolved too.
    If you login to the customer area on their website and go the Tech Toolbox there are now Digimarc 3.0 plugins to download for CS4, I'm guessing these are the new ones (they emailed them over to me so not 100% on this but last time I looked they were 2.0 plugins). Shame they haven't put this as a FAQ or alerted anyone to the fact there might be a problem but hey, they've fixed it.

  • Using Actions in batch editing??

    Is there any way to use Actions in Batch Editing in Photoshop Elements 10 or any Elements??  Thanks!

    No, this is one of the lines adobe has drawn to differentiate between PS and PSE. In PSE you can only run an action on one file at a time, not on a folder as in PS. It might be possible with an add-on like elements+, which claims to allow scripting for batch processing, but I've never tried that. Perhaps someone else will know for sure.

  • Can i Change/Update the Lead Status using Action profile of Activity.

    Hi,
    I have created one Lead, and on the basis of Qualification level action triggers and Ativity getting generated.
    I want to know that it is possible by using functions(Action Profile/conditions) in activity, If i change the status reason of Activity (as Accepted) Earlier Leads status would change.(as Close)
    Please resolve with solution.
    Regurds,
    Dipesh.

    Hi Dipesh,
    What I understand is, u wish to change the status of preceding lead transaction when the activity status reason is changed to accepted.
    1.  This functionality can be achieved using ORDER_SAVE Badi. This Badi implementation shall check the activity reason changed to accepted, if yes, read the doc flow, get the lead transaction and change its status to close.
    2. As per my knowledge use of action profiles and conditions will not be helpful in this case.Else, create an action definition as Activity reason changed, put a condition which like Activity reason= Accepted.
    In the action definition Processing type use method call.
    Here u will have to create a new implementation of the BADI of action profile, and put the same logic as stated in point 1.
    But in think implementing point 1 should be easier.
    Wish the information is useful.
    Regards,
