Re. my previous question about embossing SAMPLE on photographic art – is there a way to save the embossing layer, then apply it to other images (Photoshop CS – PC)? I know I’m giving strong hints about the depth of my ignorance…

The best way would be to create an action – for that you need to read the help files!!

By saving it as a action, Dan.

Where do you live in South Africa?
And if you do not live in SA
why on earth does your
email address says ‘preferredcountry’?:-)))

Thanks, Dave. OT – Odd you should mention preferred country – spent half my life in Australia, which is my preferred country – now living in Tennessee, working as a Realtor – trying to find a cricket pitch for a bunch of ex-pats from SA, Zambia etc…..

Thanks, Harry. Sigh. There was me hoping there was a nice easy way to save the layer, then apply it (manually) to a succession of photos. Ah well. Guess I’ll have to hit the books some more.

Thanks again,

lol… found it surprising that there could be a ‘preferred country’ other rhen SA, Dan.

recording a action is quite simple, Dan. But you must know beforehand which road you intend following (talking about commands). ********************************************************* To add commands to an action
Do one of the following:
Select the action name to insert a new command at the end of the action.
Select a command in the action to insert a command after it. Click the Record button, or choose Start Recording from the Actions palette menu.
Record the additional commands.
Click the Stop button to stop recording.

Save whichever set of instructions you used as an action. Then run the action over each image.

Many thanks, Dave – I get the gist. Preferred Country (Realty) is the name of our real estate company. Spent first half of my life in England, 2nd half in Oz, last 3 years in TN – and I’m a retired physicist, of all things…

Thanks again.

If creating an action is too hard, just copy the text layer to a new file and save it as a PSD file. Then open it and drag it to each file and position it where you want it to be. Make sure it’s the top layer!

Peadge 🙂

Many thanks, Peadge – I only have a dozen or so to do, and this way will do me fine, thanks. Actions I’ll work on when I really have to 🙂 – It’s not that it’s too hard, but it all takes time….

Thanks again,

The best thing to do is Copy your new Layer to a New File, Save, then call the New File, Ctrl-a (Select All), Ctrl-c (Copy), then make your target File active, and Ctrl-v (Paste) as a new Layer. Be aware that the resolution/image -size of the files (Layers in this case) must be the same, to get the "Sample" to look as you plan. If you have many different rez/sized files, you can do several versions of this "logo" file, sized to match. For this you might want to forego some of the above mentioned steps, and manually Open (specific image sized logo file) do a Crtl-a, Ctrl-c, to place its Layer into memory, and then run an action to do the Paste into each target file, of that size. From the File>Automate menu, you can do it to an entire target folder. First place all images of a particular rez/image size into a folder, say 1024×1280, 640×480, etc. so you have each rez/size together, then File>Automate>Action on that entire folder. File>Automate is in CS/CS2, but I cannot remember if it is also in PS v7 – someone will comment on that, I hope.

I already answered that in my orignal reply..
use the action palette, record the embossing action, run it on any photo., or run it on a batch.
