A droplet applies
an action to one or more images, or a folder of images, that you drag
onto the Droplet icon. You can save a droplet on the desktop or
to another location on disk.
 Droplet icon Actions are the basis
for creating droplets—you must create the desired action
in the Actions panel before creating a droplet. (See Creating actions.)
- Choose File >
Automate > Create Droplet.
- Specify where to save the droplet. Click Choose in the
Save Droplet In section of the dialog box and navigate to the location.
- Select the Action Set, and then designate which action
you intend to use within the Set and Action menus. (Select the action
in the Actions panel before you open the dialog box to preselect
these menus.)
- Set processing, saving, and file naming options. For
descriptions of the Batch dialog box settings see Batch and droplet processing options.
Tips for cross-platform dropletsWhen creating droplets
for both Windows and Mac OS, keep the following compatibility
issues in mind:
After moving a droplet created in
Windows to Mac OS, you must drag the droplet onto the Photoshop
icon on your desktop. Photoshop updates the droplet for use in Mac OS.
When creating a droplet in Mac OS, use the .exe
extension to make droplets compatible with both Windows and Mac OS.
References to file names are not supported between operating
systems. If an action step references a file or folder name (such
as an Open command, Save As command, or adjustment
command that loads its settings from a file), execution pauses and
the user is prompted for a file name.
Process a file with a droplet Drag a file or folder onto the droplet
icon. Photoshop starts if it is not already running.
