Batch conversion with x3

[caspia1]

I have a set of around 100 images which I need to edit for hue and saturation. All are similar.
Can I batch convert these with PSP X3?
Thanks for any advice.

You can try it, yes. I suggest that you create copies with the batch and not overwrite the originals in case this batch doesn't turn out like you hope.

If you need instructions

So first thing is first, you need to create a script that applies the HSL command.

1) Make sure your script toolbar is visible - View -> Toolbars -> Script

2) Open 1 of the 100 images you want to edit.

3) Hit the big red record button on the script toolbar.

4) Apply the HSL command and make the image look like you want.

5) Hit the save icon on the script toolbar and give the script a name. Something descriptive like "BatchHSL" so it's easy to find.

6) Close the current image. You can save out the change or you can cancel the change and let the batch handle it.

7) Create a "Finished" folder inside the same folder as the 100 images. This is where we'll send the copies that we've processed.

Open the Batch File command - File -> Batch Process

9) Under "Script" make sure "Use script" is selected, and find your script in the drop down

10) Under "Save Mode" select "Copy"

11) Under Save Options, Select the final file type "JPG, PNG, TIFF, whatever you want."

12) Hit the "Browse" button next to the "Folder" option underneath file "Type". And set it to save to that "Finished" folder we created.

13) Finally hit the "Browse" button at the very top of the dialog to add your images to the batch. And hit start.

If all goes well you'll have a folder full of 100 images that have had the exact same HSL command applied to them. And you can see which ones turned out well and which ones didn't.
