Reply To: Alignment mode question

If you are trying to batch multiple poses in one batch then it’s difficult.  SPA works best when you setup the alignment for a specific pose and then run a batch for that pose.

If you have 3 or 4 set poses then it may be better to have a template set up for each pose.

Beyond that, you could use the “pause to scale” or pause on finished composite and then adjust as it batches. It’s not a walk away batch, but still way faster than doing by hand.

Another option is to save the composites all as PSD as a “walk away” batch. Then run a workflow helper batch with the source folder set to the PSD composites and set to save as JPG. Then the images are all ready to fine tune. This way you don’t need to wait for it to build each image. It will open each layered file. If it is good, just press save and continue and it will save the final image. If it needs adjusted, then just move or scale the player and then press save and continue. So you could rip through them in a few seconds each because they are already built and ready to go in a workflow helper batch.

If you do the workflow help er option or pause on finished image option, then it’s best to also check the “use smart objects” checkbox. That way if you have to upscale the player then it’s non-destructive.

If I had a batter answer then I would give it to you. Unfortunately, different poses just may need different alignment setups. So I just don’t have a better answer.
