Step 11
Finally, choose a File Naming Template for your exported images. We can stick with the default template for now. Make sure the Windows and Mac OS Compatibility tick boxes are checked. Leave the Errors dropdown at Stop for Errors.

Step 12
Click OK in the batch dialog and you’re good to go. The images will open, resize to 1000 pixels wide and save right in front of you. Try it with another action and see what else is possible!

Hi, I have used this method in your tutorial for days, and only recently Photoshop keeps closing on its own after 308 photos. Is there an error with the software, or is there a setting I’m missing that allows me to process over 13,000 photos? Each time it crashes/closes after processing specifically 308 photos, which is annoying and time consuming as it already is. Hoping you have some ideas? Many thanks

I don’t understand why this is necessary. In my old Photoshop Elements 10, it was simple and straightforward! Right in the File menu, there was an option: “Process Multiple Files.” Click on it, and away you go. Also, the option was far clearer and more capable–you could for example convert images to PNG. In my “current” edition of “full-version” Photoshop CC 2021, you cannot convert to PNG (you can only convert to JPEG). Adobe continues to butcher its own software and hence betray its customers. I have no faith nor regard for them now.

how can we save sub folders images in relative path
-
Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s possible. Try doing it from File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy)… it might save it in a relative path when you’re recording the action.

Really great tutorial. Thanks for taking time to explain things in such great details.

Why is this so complicated? Why can’t you just open a bunch of files in Photoshop and perform the same action on all of them? I don’t have time to wrap my head around all this. PS has been around for decades, and they still don’t have a simple command for this?
