Hello, can someone please tell me how to batch process a whole set of photos?
Like just say you have been shooting at a single location with the same lighting/white balance in every shot is it possible to colour correct and maybe even make the contrast better on one then apply it to the rest of the group in one go?

Would they even all work out or do you really have to go through one by one? :(

Cheers boys...
 
Are you familiar with menu...File->Scripts->Image Processor? You'll need to record some actions on your first file. There is alot of info in the help files under 'Image processor' that should help. The video needs to be dumped into seperate files first and put into a seperate folder. Open the first file. Record your actions. Then run on the folder. If you still still need help later I'll try and put together a step-by-step.

Edit: This is a little rough but...
1/ Goto menu… to menu->File->Scripts->Image Processor to open the dialog.
Under item #1…Check “Open first image to apply settings.”
Select folder. Don’t worry about items 2 thru 4.
Click ‘Run’. An ‘Open Dialog Box’ appears. Open the first file.
2/ goto menu…Windows->Actions or press Alt-F9
3/ There is a little button at the bottom of the ‘Actions palette’. The tollbox that has both ‘History’ and ‘Actions’ tabs. (select Actions tab). At the very bottom of that box is a row of buttons. Place your mouse over the buttons until you reach ‘Create new action’.
Click it. A dialog appears. Type in a name such as “ColorCorrectionTest1” and hit ‘Record’
Then go about correcting your color as you normally would.
I chose menu…Filter->Filter Gallery->Dry Brush.
But whenever your done…go back to the Actions palette (The tool box) and at the bottom click on the ‘Stop Recording’ button.

Now go to menu->File->Scripts->Image Processor to open the dialog.
Uncheck “Open first image to apply settings.”
Under item #4…Preferences…CHECK ‘Run Action’ and using the rightmost drop down menu, look for “ColorCorrectionTest1” or whatever you named your action.

Then click Run.
It will process all files in that folder.
