In bridge when I try to run an action via batch…..Photoshop opens and an error box comes up saying the Batch function is unavailable.

When I go to photoshop and click FILE…AUTOMATE….the BATCH function is greyed out.

How can I change this, I really want to use the batch function to run actions on multiple files.

The only time I’ve experienced the symptoms you reported (FILE…AUTOMATE….BATCH greyed out) was when I’d inadvertantly cleared/purged the Actions Palette, as in no actions for Batch to run.

Is this a possibility?

From the Actions Palette menu choose "Reset actions." That will restore the standard actions that are installed with PS.

Let me know how it goes…
