I hope I can explain this...
I have been using Photoshop Elements 7 for years.
95% of the images I run through Elements get one or two same operations and then get saved as both a PSD and a jpeg.
Now, this is why I have been investigating GIMP, the version I have is 2.10.34
When I save from Elements, much of my Metadata gets stripped and I have to meticulously replace it, especially iptc data and keyword tags.
When I export the same jpegs from GIMP, all of my Metadata remains intact save for GIMP stripping away the "Subject" in "Properties" and stripping away the embedded comment.
If I could get GIMP to perform my operations in quick batch form like I am able to with Elements, I would switch to using GIMP.
Here is my usual procedure:
I load a folder full of photos in Elements 7.
I may drag the Background layer of some photos on top of others while looking at all of them in tiles.
Then, I have a one-click batch process that duplicates the stamped-visible layer, adds High Pass Sharpen with Soft Light Mode and a layer mask, and then adds a Stamp-Visible layer on top of that.
Then, I have a one-click process that saves all open photos at once as PSD and saves them in a specified folder that does not change until I change it, even if the program is closed and reopened.
Then, I have another one-click process that saves them all as jpeg and saves them in a different specified folder.
Is it possible to duplicate this process in GIMP; and, if so, how ?
I have studied the manual and made several attempts at this and always give up in frustration.
I am using a Windows 7 Pro machine.
Thanks.
