That's a nice presentation! I'm still hoping that there is an easy work-around in Photoshop--I'm not sure that I want to get into plug-ins right now--and I sure don't want to open and save each image just to run an action to, well, open and save each image!!! It's got to be something simple that I am missing...

Thanks for the thoughts Michael and Stan...

IOpener is not a plug-in, it's an app that can start Photoshop and execute one or more actions and then save the image(s).

To do what you want, you would first record an action doing:

• Resize Image


• Write your text


• Flatten Image

Then start IOpener, point it to the source folder and select the action above from a list. After that, you press the execute button, and IOpener will open each image from the source folder, apply the three steps in the action and finally save the image in a sub-folder.

That should take a few seconds per image and you don't need to watch it, it will per default run through all the images in the source folder.

I downloaded IOpener and was running in 10-15 minutes.

Creating longer and complicated actions is another story though.

OK, I got it working in 'pure' Photoshop.

Record an action, doing your resizing and adding the text you want. Then use the Save As (not save) command to put the file in a different folder than the source folder (which should be empty).
Then STOP the recording.

You will be asked about the .jpg file properties during the recording, but not after that.

Now run File->Automate->Batch and specify "Save and Close" as the destination.

When the action runs, it will save your images without stopping and asking.
