Hi, I have successfully created an action to create a montage of the front and back scans of antique photographs. This gives me a single image with [(front)(back)], the sort of thing you can see at e.g. Louise Steer on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The action runs as follows:
- auto crop & straighten image of back, resize, copy to clipboard, close without saving
- crop and resize image of front, increase canvas width to 200% (white space to right)
- paste image 2 into this and align to the right
- export web version
- close
I now have a folder with 282 images in, these being of the front and back scans of 141 antique photographs.
I can't run the action as a batch on the whole folder as it requires the two images to be open. If I open a whole load of images I can click on the 'run' arrow and do each pair at a time, but that's very time consuming. So I want to run the action on a whole load of open images and leave it running.
If I open more than two images, and run the batch action on 'open images' it creates the first montage fine, but then returns the error "Could not complete the Batch command because of a program error", which I assume is because it's looking for the next image, which has already been closed?
Any thoughts how I might get around this? Thanks
