New Actions, Features Added to Photoshop Automator Actions
Press Release
The Photoshop Automator Actions v5.0.1 Updater is now available for free download. This package updates 18 actions and delivers numerous bug fixes, some additional features and two new actions. Available for CS4 and CS5, the update is free to all users of both the free and Pro versions of the Photoshop Automator Actions Collection version 5.
For this updater to work, you must have a copy of the version 5 package installed. (Obviously, you’ll need to install the updater package that matches the version that you have installed, either CS4 or CS5, free or Pro.)
This update brings the following changes:
• Most actions now work in the background, rather than bringing Photoshop to the foreground. This allows use other applications while your workflow is running. The only actions that don’t work in the background are Add Graphic Watermark, Auto Color, Contact Sheet, Diptych, or Triptych. These actions must bring Photoshop to the foreground, either because they rely on GUI scripting, or because they perform copy/paste functions that require focus.
• Two new actions: Create New Document, and Cut/Copy/Paste. Both are detailed in the updated manual.
• Added Add Uniform Border option to Resize Canvas. Previously, there was no way to add a uniform border to a non-square document.
• You can now change the background color used in Diptych and Triptych.
• Color Balance no longer always applies as an Adjustment Layer
• Fixed the Smart Sharpen interface.
• Size filtering controls in Resize Image now work.
• Added support for PNG-24 to the Save for Web option in Render.
• Assign Custom Profile now works. Be sure to type your profile name exactly as it appears in the Assign Custom Profile dialog box in Photoshop.
