: Batching in Photoshop I have a few hundred images I need to batch process. Basically I need to apply a set of images to a single PSD using the Apply Image function, save as a new jpg with

@Goswami567

First make a copy of the image folder that contains the jpegs, and work on that copy to ensure you don't overwrite your original files.

Open your PSD in Photoshop - this is the source image that will be applied to the jpegs. It must be left open for the action to work.

Now begin recording a new action, and do the following steps:


open one of the jpegs* (from the copied image folder obviously)
Click Image > Apply image - in the dropdown select the PSD file as the source.
File > Save


Stop recording.

Close the jpeg, but leave the PSD open.

Now use the action you recorded using File > Automate > Batch.

Make sure you select the option which says "Override Action Open Commands", and that the source and destination folders are the same (both pointing to the copied image folder).

*Obviously, the jpeg you used in this step will already be applied - so you could take that out of the folder before running the batch on the rest of the images or it will get done twice.
