Automator/Photoshop Elements Action Pack Released
Mac-based Photoshop Elements users who have enviously eyed the automation capabilities of Photoshop CS2 now have access to a free set of automation tools that will let them batch process their images using Photoshop Elements. The Photoshop Elements Action Pack is a collection of 21 Automator Actions that let you drive Photoshop Elements from within Apple’s Automator.
Bundled with every copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (”Tiger”), Automator is an application that lets you easily build complex automation routines by simply dragging together “actions” into a flowchart. While Photoshop Elements provides no internal Actions palette, nor hooks to any external scripting languages, the Automator/Photoshop Elements Action Pack combination lets you create complex automation workflows for Elements version 4, or any other version that shares the same menu structure.
The Photoshop Elements Action Pack lets you perform all of Elements’ essential functions such as Auto Color, Auto Levels, Auto Smart Fix, and Auto Red Eye Reduction. In addition, you can easily resize images and save them in multiple formats, making it simple to create automated workflows that prep images for web output, email, or print work.
The Photoshop Elements Action Pack is built around the same architecture as the popular Photoshop CS/CS2 Action Pack, which means you can batch processes huge numbers of very large images without bogging Elements down.
The Elements Action Pack includes a 20-page manual, sample workflows, and sample images, and can be downloaded for free from:
