History Workflows do not seem to fully execute

Post by den »

Kiril...

Attempting a two operation sharpening process, one for Local Contrast Enhancement [LCE] and one for Sharpening, from an image's History workflow applied to another image in the Working Space... only the first operation executes even though 'Full Workflow' is selected in the 'Select Images' dialog...
Prior to clicking OK:
HistoryWF-a-1.jpg
HistoryWF-a-1.jpg (35.74 KiB) Viewed 2491 times
After clicking OK only one sharpening [LCE] executed:
HistoryWF-b-1.jpg
HistoryWF-b-1.jpg (37.78 KiB) Viewed 2491 times
I would have expected that both sharpening operations would result upon clicking OK... or am I overlooking something?

I can execute the 2nd Sharpen Operation upon right click selecting its workflow icon and 'apply workflow to screen images' and selecting the 1st Sharpened Operation image version.

Full Workflow is defined as all the operations from the beginning of a workflow up to the step on which you have right-clicked. Any steps beyond that are not executed. Thus if an image had a series of operations performed on it, to repeat all the operations, right click on the last step and select Apply Workflow.
There are two reasons for the use of the last step. First, it allows you to repeat just a portion of the workflow. For example say you have color balanced, lightened and cropped an image. You may want to apply the color balance and lightening seps to other images but crop each image indivitdually

Second if you tried out several different processing streams on the same image, you can select which stream you want to repeat.

Thank you, Kiril, for the definition/explanation...

...The two stage sharpening History workflow does fully execute when the second sharpening icon is right clicked and 'Full Workflow' is selected in the "Select Images' dialog...

I see possibilities here akin to PS 'actions' limited by what History is able to record.

Thank you again.... den
