Batch Processing ?

I could use some help with saving multiple files in PSE 7.

I have custom made borders for my pictures saved as a .PSD I copy and paste my pictures into these then "save" but for each picture I save I have to re-browse for the folder and check the other options as well. I have tried making copies of the border and pasted a picture into each one but when I try to "process multiple files" it only processes 1 of the edited pictures. Is there a way to batch process these things ?

OR, it would also be a big help if I didn't have to re-browse for the folder each time. If I use "open" to bring a picture in, that location is remembered, but when I use "save" it starts where "open" was last.

I stopped using Elements at either version 4, so I don't know the various updates for newer versions. One of the key reasons for me moving to CS(2) were the batch/automation tools that Elements lacked. I've heard, though, that some things are possible with newer Elements versions, so I just did a search for "photoshop elements batch" and this was returned:

I no longer have Elements installed and can't reflect on the various tutorials listed, but there seem to be a goodly number of references.

It's pretty common for a lot of progams to "stick" things in places that we would rather they don't...by that, I mean, of course, to stick file and folder references in the last place we did either an open or a close. Maybe it's a file system thing, I don't know.

Needless to say, I wasn't accusing software of "sticking things in places that we would rather they don't" in any other way, honestly...!

Thanks for the feedback !

Does this sound like something that could be easily done in CS_ ??

Oh yeah...CSx is a master of automation -- there are several tools and approaches to batch processing and automating tasks which can be combined for very powerful tasks.

But you still need to work out the details of these things. It's very possible that there is an easy "fix" to the problem you mentioned, but you may need to dig a bit if you don't get an answer here. A good Elements tutorial or a good Elements book just may hold the key.
