Using Photoshop “Actions”(Macintosh Only)

The driver supports the Actions feature of Photoshop version 4.0 and later.

There are a number of considerations to keep in mind while working with

actions.

You cannot initiate or terminate a script in the driver. Instead, you

must start recording before you enter the driver, and you must stop

recording after you leave the driver, when back in Photoshop.

While in the driver, actions can be recorded while in CONTACT SHEET or

PREVIEW, but not while in TEST SHOT view.

When appropriate, the action applies to the selected image or images

(by their image number, not name).

The driver image window is not displayed during action playback.

As with all actions, you can view the commands recorded by the

driver; this can help you understand how the driver produces actions.

The same action can record differently depending on the state of the

driver when you begin recording; however, the actions should per-

form the same.

As with any scripting, you may need to experiment to ensure that you

are obtaining the desired results with driver actions.

Several examples of the use of actions with the driver image window

follow.

You want a script to acquire all images from a PCMCIA card

in the connected camera.

1. Start recording a new action script.

2. Select the driver; you enter the driver image window.
