Re: [Openexr-devel] photoshop plugin upgrades?

[Paul Schneider]

Hi, Gary,

the problem is that the Photoshop plug-in doesn't support scripting.  
If it did, the values you specified in the dialog when you recorded the 
action would be applied automatically when you played the action.  I've 
known about this limitation for a long time, but haven't had time to 
fix it.

Like Drew says, once savannah is back up, you can grab the source and 
edit it to not bring up the dialog (you can just hardcode the exposure 
and gamma settings you want).  Or, you could add scripting support, and 
I would happily roll those changes back into the CVS tree :)  In fact, 
if anyone out there is looking for some EXR coding glory, this is a 
perfect opportunity.
