Batch processing seems to work only for applying the same alteration to a series of files. If one wants to edit many files in different ways, I guess we are limited to one-time "actions."
Having just switched from PhotoPaint, I am missing Corel’s easy to learn scripting language – though little else. Complex and flexible scripts are created by performing a series of actions (macros), which are then easily editable in their script editor.
In PhotoShop, there seem to be many limitations. Even with actions and menu commands, I cannot seem to enable any of the following:
* preselecting tools or tool options (i.e. when done with one action, the next tool preloads with specified settings)
(an example is after resampling, I want to crop to an aspect of 1.5 by 1. I can’t get the selection tool to load, or the aspect to preset)
* setting default open and save file paths
* looping
These seem impossible without visual basic or javascript (both of which I cannot use).
1. Is it possible to incorporate actions that wait for completion of a step, within a batch process?
2. Are there any add-ins or scripts available which can be modified to allow looped editing of files?
