I am trying to create a batch process to take several hundred pictures and run them through the auto contrast feature and save the processed pictures to a different folder. I walked through the batch record process and after I stopped the recording and tried to run it I got the following message: Error: The command "Levels" is not currently available. (-25920)

This message was repeated for all 450 pictures with the name of the file on the line above this message. Can some one tell me what to do to get this batch processing working?

Thanks

Hmm. Seems to balk at non-RGB images. BUT, if you change the Errors dropdown in the Batch dialog to "Log errors to file" it will proceed as it should and a check of the History states in Grayscale and CMYK documents shows that it does indeed apply the adjustment as it should. And the Error Log does not report any errors.

Looks to me like a bug that no one has noticed before.
