I recently discover this little feature in Photoshop (i currently am using cs2) which suits our image processing pipeline perfectly.
Basically the whole pipeline is meant to be fully automated, therefore everything is run in a command line. the source images are created in psd format, i simply record an action to do what i need to do in PS (flatten, conversion, etc), and "package" it with a droplet in an executable (.exe) file. So the rest is to call this executable in a command line with input psd files.
Now everything works perfectly, PS lunches, does the batch, etc. Except the only thing left is that when the batch finishes PS still stays opened. In windows, i could use something like "tskill" to kill the process, but i would prefer a more graceful way to do it, perhaps do it within PS?
Am i only able to do this through PS scripting?
Thanks
