Totally confused about photoshop scripting

[designdude74]

Hi All,
I’m not sure if this is the place to ask for help but here goes. I’m having a lot of trouble writing a script for Photoshop CS3
I have tried to read examples and make it myself but for the life of me I cant figure it out. I’m new to photoshop and I want to set up a script to do the following.

When image is opened I want it to:=

Image Size (Ctrl+Alt+I) to 3600pixels to 2400pixels (I want it to override constrained proportions)
Auto Levels (Shift+Ctrl+L)
Auto Contrast (Alt+Shift+Ctrl+L)
Auto Color (Shift+Ctrl+B)
Last Filter (Ctrl+F)
Save (Ctrl+S)

It seems too simple for alot of the examples I have found.
Thanks sooooo much for your help everyone.
Cheers
Troy

I can complete the last 5 steps using the actions dialogue box but it will not allow me to re-size the image using an action and its taking me ages to open each image, do the action command, then resize it by hand and close it.
Thanks

The best way to do this is to follow these simple steps.
Open an image.
Then the actions panel. Click Create new Action icon.
Select Record.
Do the steps that you want repeated for all the images one by one.
That done.
Save the image in same or new format but don't type in a new name.(else that will be stored in actions too)
Close the image.
Press stop icon in the actions panel.

Now that the actions has been saved.
go to File -> Automate -> Batch -> Select your recorded saved action from the displayed list, Choose your folder which contains the images and hit ok.

In case you don't record the save and close actions you can bypass that from here too.

(Imp: Remember to give a backup of the originals in a safe folder else they can get overwritten)
Try and set a new output destination folder as well.
