Apply Action To All Layers?

1189 views2 repliesLast post: 7/24/2003
Does anyone know how to apply an action to all of my layers? What I do now is manually select each layer one at a time and press the function key I've assigned to my action. This gets tedious. I'm working with sequences of 20 to 30 images. Is there a way I can automate this process and have the action applied to all of my layers? I'm doing this in ImageReady.

Thanks.

You can do this with a script in Photoshop 7 if you download the scripting plug-in from the Adobe web site. It helps to have some experience with Javascript, VBScript, or Applescript. Various examples of scripts that loop over layers can be found in Adobe's Photoshop scripting forum, and you can run an action from a script, so there wouldn't be an awful lot of programming required.

Thanks for the response. To be truthful, I was hoping there was a solution less involved than writing a script.
