    Hello everybody.

    I have to do a big number of batch processes in Photoshop. In the meantime I want to do some other work because the batch process takes a lot of time. What really annoys me is that the Photoshop opens every file of the batch list in front of all other windows, and what’s even worse: if I type or click it causes an error message in Photshop and the batch process stops.

    Does anyone know how I can keep the Photoshop batch process in the background? I would be really grateful!

    Thanks! Anne

    If your other work happens in other applications perhaps you can get away with it by adding a second monitor and leave photoshop to do its thing in the other one, eliminating the risk of clicking a photoshop window accidentally while batch processing.

    Since I have to do the other stuff in After Effects, the second monitor works perfect for me! Thanks!
