ALREADY COPIED OVER Crop and Straighten Photos in Photoshop

 
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
  1. File
  2. Automate
  3. Crop and straighten photos
  4. For each cropped photo, export, quick export as jpg*, use name offered
  5. Close all and say no to all
  6. Now delete the original

My Shortcuts

  1. Shortcut for automate-->crop and straighten is SHIFT-->CTRL--Q
  2. Shortcut for quick export as jpg is SHIFT-->CTRL-->A
  3. 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:
  1. In Photoshop go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. Click the "Load" button (it's next to the save icon)
  3. Navigate to the folder called Linda Adobe Photoshop Shortcuts and find the .ky file. Open it. Your custom shortcuts will be restored.
  4. Or, it might be set to default. In the dropdown window you can change it to Linda photo keyboard shortcuts
