Photoshop Droplets: The Batch Processing Tool You're Probably Underusing
A few years into running my own post-production consultancy, I had a client send over 500 product images the Friday before a campaign launch. The brief was straightforward: standardize white balance, apply a branded tone curve, sharpen for web, flatten, export as sRGB JPEGs at 1200px on the long edge. Same thing, 500 times. I had the action built already. What I didn’t have was any interest in manually running it file by file, or even babysitting a batch process through the weekend.
