Photoshopping – Automation and Batch conversion

So, ive got a handful of sprites, coutesy my group members and their exploits in Blender, and

http://reinerstileset.4players.de/.

But, i dont need the weirdly coloured backgrounds accompanying the images. So wat do i do ? Manually open them in Photoshop, eliminate the background. Save as PNG ? Hell no, for each character i will need 10 or more images, and since i have a life ( course i do , wat do u mean i dont , so wat if i am making a game ) .. Adobe Photoshop has a nifty feature called Automate:

File > Automate > Batch

Step 1: Alt + F9 to open the Actions Panel ( ref. the first image)

Step 2: Click on the button beneath the red circle CREATE NEW ACTION

Step 3: Now, this is akin to the MS Office macros, afaik. So go ahead, Open an image, carry out the stuff u wanna replicate.

I did an Open, Select, Delete, Save As.

Once done with recording the macro, (actions to be repeated) click the STOP button.

Step 4: Save all the images for Batch Editing/Conversion in one folder. And then go to File > Automate > Batch, refer   settings in the second Image.  Hit OK.

Tip: You might want to set an output folder as i have done ( Demo )
