User Guide
Although ImageReady doesn’t allow you to create sets, you can manually organize actions in the ImageReady Actions
folder. For example, if the Actions palette contains too many actions, create a new folder inside the ImageReady
A
ctions folder and move less used actions from the ImageReady Actions folder to this new folder. The relocated actions
are removed from the palette until you return them to the ImageReady Actions folder.
• To create a new set of actions, click the New Set button in the Actions palette or choose New Set from the
palette menu. Then enter the name of the set, and click OK.
Note: I
f you plan to create a new action and group it in a new set, make sure you create the set first. Then, the new set
will appear in the set pop-up menu when you create your new action.
• To move an action to a different set, drag the action to that set. When the highlighted line appears in the desired
position, release the mouse button.
• To rename a set of actions, choose Set Options from the pop-up menu in the Actions palette, enter the name of
the set, and click OK.
Processing a batch of files
About the Image Processor
The Image Processor converts and processes multiple files. Unlike the Batch command, the Image Processor lets you
process files without first creating an action. You can do any of the following in the Image Processor:
• Convert a set of files to either JPEG, PSD, or TIFF format; or convert files simultaneously to all three formats.
• Process a set of camera raw files using the same options.
• Resize images to fit within specified pixel dimensions.
• Embed a color profile or convert a set of files to sRGB and save them as JPEG images for the web.
• Include copyright metadata into the converted images.
To convert files with the Image Processor
The Image Processor works with Photoshop (PSD), JPEG, and camera raw files.
1 Choose > File > Scripts > Image Processor.
2 Select the images you want to process. You can choose to process any open files, or select a folder of files to process.
3 (Optional) Select Open First Image To Apply Settings to apply the same settings to all the images.
If you are processing a group of camera raw files taken under the same lighting conditions, you can adjust the setting
in the first image to your satisfaction and then apply the same settings to the remaining images.
Use this option with PSD or JPEG source images if the file’s color profile does not match your working profile. You
ca
n choose a color profile in which to convert the first image and all images in the folder.
Note: Th
e settings you apply with the Image Processor are temporary and used only with the Image Processor. The
image’s current camera raw settings are used to process the image, unless you change them in the Image Processor.
4 Select the location where you want to save the processed files.
