I have 80 .png pics that I want to import to PS and then export them in .jpg format with a pastel filter but I dont want to go one by one, how can I make the whole process automatic, like a batch process, if anyone can point me to a tut or if someone wants to explain me what to do exactly would be great! thanks! ---

window \> action create a new set \> create new action record your action (filter, etc…) then hit stop once you have finish that go to file \> automate \> batch and find your folder with 80 files in it… and then hit ok… that should be it if you don’t understand… you can always use photoshop help… keyword automate or automate a task p.s. this is for ps cs version… might be a bit different for other version of ps ---
