I have 419 gb of pictures. Many of them were scanned from physical photos, four images per jpg. I'm using a tool in Adobe Photoshop to crop and straighten.
Crop and Straighten (with no shortcuts)
This process takes too long, so see below for shortcuts
- File
- Automate
- Crop and straighten photos
- For each cropped photo, export, quick export as jpg*, use name offered
- Close all and say no to all
- Now delete the original
My Shortcuts
- Shortcut for automate-->crop and straighten is SHIFT-->CTRL--Q
- Shortcut for quick export as jpg is SHIFT-->CTRL-->A
- Shortcut for close all is SHIFT-->CTRL-->X
When my Shortcuts get corrupted
I found out that when Photoshop updates itself, it stomps on my shortcuts. The prevailing advice for a setting in Creative Cloud does not prevent this problem from happening. So instead, I have a folder in My Documents that contains my shortcuts. So if they disappear, I can just load them again:
- In Photoshop go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
- Click the "Load" button (it's next to the save icon)
- Navigate to the folder called Linda Adobe Photoshop Shortcuts and find the .ky file. Open it. Your custom shortcuts will be restored.
- Or, it might be set to default. In the dropdown window you can change it to Linda photo keyboard shortcuts
