Since you had the My Type Layers action selected when choosing the Create Droplet function, it
should already be listed as the action. Note that you can suppress other warnings in the Play section as
well. For this example, you will leave all settings in the Play section as they are.
5 In the Destination drop-down menu, choose Folder and then click the Choose button. Navigate to the
advps11lessons folder and select the folder named Completed_Files . Click OK.
If you look further in the Destination folder, you will see that a script for automatically naming your
file with an extension is already part of the Droplet script. Adding this batch renaming to the script
prevents you from running multiple files through your action and having them override each other
with an identical name.
Choose to save your action as droplet.
6 Click OK. If you look at the Desktop, you should see your Droplet.
You will now use the droplet to run your action on several images.
Using a Droplet
In this next section, you will take several files and apply the action using the Droplet. The Droplet allows
you to drag files or even entire folders to run batch actions.
1 Using your directory system, locate the folder Batch_Files within your advps11lessons folder.
2 Click and drag the Batch_Files folder on top of My Text Effect Droplet. The images are opened and
the script is run on each file. The files are then saved into the Completed_Files folder.
3 If you have any files open in Photoshop from this lesson, choose File > Close to close them now.
If you change your script after making into a Droplet, you will need to choose Automate > Create
Droplet and run through the steps again.
