NOTE: Recent Photoshop updates have disabled our ability to export DASHBOARD effects to the actions palette. If you cannot export your effects as in Part 1 of these instructions, this is why. We have a workaround for some users. Contact us for more info. Batch processing is an essential way to speed up your workflow when you want to make the same adjustments on multiple images automatically. Any Kubota actions can be used in a batch if they don't have any steps that require you to interact with them (like adjusting the Gaussian blur or changing the size of the selection, etc.). Here's a video demonstrating the steps: Converting a DASHBOARD effect for batching DASHBOARD effects need to be converted to actions before they can be used in a batch. Here's how: Part One: Convert the effect to an action: Find and select the effect you want to batch  Right-click on the effect and choose the option to EXPORT The effect will now be in a folder in your Actions palette called, Kubota Batch Actions. We recommend RENAMING this folder immediately to save it, as each time you do the export it will overwrite a previous one with the same name.   Part 2: Modify the action so it can be batch-processed efficiently: To use an action in a batch process, and for it to run unattended, we need to add a few automation steps: Add a FLATTEN IMAGE step. Add a CONVERT Mode step to make sure it is in 8-bits. Add a SAVE AS step to ensure it is saved as a .JPG file in the quality you want. Watch the video above for specifics on how to do these.   Part 3: Run the Batch from the menu: File > Automate > Batch... Select your source folder Set the options correctly Set the destination folder Set any renaming options you want Click OK to start the batch. Note that the Batch window will remain open while your images are processing in the background and will close when the batch is complete. Don't click the OK button multiple times :-).  These are examples of the settings to use in the batch dialog box:
