Alright, I have about 30 different screenshots, and I need to crop the same thing out of all of them, but I don't want to sit there and crop till I have exact same measurements for each one.
Is there an easier way to go about this?

Wait why do you want to crop the same thing out of 30 screenshots? huh.gif

Anyways, I would probably crop one screenshot first, do a ctrl+a, ctrl+c, & ctrl+v on to the next screenshot, place it in the area you need to crop, & then crop it. Do you get what I'm saying?

Haha, well, because it's from a video and I wanted to make an animated photo from them.
And yeah, I think I'll try what you're saying.

Maybe you can turn it into an action?

a little time consuming, but lets say if the your screenshots are 1024x768, create a new image in that size, and in the order you want them move all the screenshots into that new image and once your done crop it. then you got all 30 cropped
unless they aren't positioned the same way on all 30 screenshots?

an action can work, but it can be a pain... you have to do everything the technical way.
for example, if you want to create a action of you coloring a layer, instead of doing it with the paint bucket your going to have to do it through fill layer > solid color for it to work on all images.

But that's just the first. You could just record what you do on the first one, end the recording, set a shortcut key (say, F2), and keep pressing that once (in this case, 30?) on all your images, you'll get the same effect done on it all. It's only a pain if the cropping they're doing are all done differently, but if you're planning to do a resize then new coloring layer on 30 pics, it's barely a pain. F2 on all your images. xD

Or just put all 30 screenshots on to one document, with each screenshot representing a different layer, and then crop it. But make sure all the screenshots are lined up.
