I have a collection of complex Photoshop actions that I have built. Now, I am needing to move from actions to scripting to accomplish new tasks in Photoshop. Since I didn't want to rebuild everything as new scripts, I searched for a tool to recycle my existing actions.
PS-Scripts.com provided a link to a solution.
Running that script in Photoshop CS5 (File>Scripts>Browse) creates .jsx files that replicate the original .atn action files. Now, I can copy relevant sections of JavaScript out and utilize them in my new scripts.
Thanks to xbytor for sharing the solution.
Hi, when I run ActionToJavascript it gives a box where I can select my Action Set, but I am not able to select an Action (the drop down box is empty). Do you have any ideas as to why?
ReplyDeleteI'm running PS CC on a 2014 Mac Mini.
Thanks!
Works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really useful and insightful guide on converting Photoshop actions into droplets — something many users may not know about until they try it. I appreciate how you explained the steps clearly and showed how droplets can automate workflows even further than actions alone. For photographers or designers who work with large batches of images, learning How To Use Photoshop Actions and then convert them into droplets can save an enormous amount of time, and your examples make that benefit obvious. The instructions were easy to follow, and the screenshots helped clarify each step. Your post is practical, informative, and a great resource for anyone who wants to take their Photoshop productivity to the next level. Thanks for sharing such a helpful tutorial!
