Batch Auto Levels?

[umerica webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Does anyone know how to create additional batch commands? And if so, how would I go about enabling the batch process to apply the Auto Levels filter to the images?

Thanks a lot.

Batch Commands are really just normal Commands which you can select from
the list in the 2nd Batch window after selecting the files. Click the
plus sign before the Commands word.

If you want to apply the Auto Levels filter you would have to be a bit
more creative because you can't select it as a Command. SO, why not just
*MAKE* it into a Command?

1) Open a new document
2) Draw any shape
3) Select the Effect filter from the Effects menu or Filter menu
(whichever you want for the job (Filter for Bitmap Objects/Effects for
Vector Objects)
4) In the History Panel (if it is not open press Shift+F10) click the
step you just executed named:
Filter Image (if you're doing a Bitmap Object)
or
Set Effects (if you're doing a Vector Object)
5) Click the Diskette icon and save your step as a Command naming it
(for example) "MyAutoLevels"
6) Click/Select File > Batch Process
7) Follow your normal procedure and in the Commands (as described above)
select the Command you just created (MyAutoLevels).
8) Choose Export as your next action and make sure it is below the
Command otherwise nothing will happen since the Commands are executed in
the wrong order.

That's it.

Good luck!
