I recently upgraded from CS2 to CS3. Previously I had set CS2 to allow me to view images as they were being converted in a batch process. It’s been a while and now I don’t recall where to find that setting. Can someone please direct me to that setting??

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,
– In the Actions palette select the action to batch-play – Open the Action palette menu and select "Insert Stop" item – In the "Record Stop" dialog, check "Allow Continue" gadget – Expand the action and drag the "Stop" item to the action beginning – Run batch processing.
Now you can either process open image by clicking "Continue" or skip it by clicking "Stop". In the latter case, PS opens another dialog allowing you proceeding to the next image ("Continue" button).

Jim. In CS3 just an empty window appears during batch processing. This has been done to speed up the operation which no longer has to wait for the graphics to be written to screen (only to disappear a moment later!)

Not making images visible during processing cuts down on screen redraw and resource consumption and is thought to speed things up.

This was an intentional change by Adobe.

Hmmmm……… Well, I do understand the desire to speed things up, but when I’m processing several hundred images in one batch it is helpful to be able to go back to the computer occasionally to see where we are in the process. Without any indication of which image is being processes I don’t have a way to gauge how many are left.

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks, yes that is exactly what I was doing since I didn’t find a way to view the image in CS3.
