Batch Cropping allows the user to crop any number of images in a folder in an automated manner, using the “Actions” scripting feature found in the full version of Photoshop. This is called Automation, and in this case, Batch Processing. Automation uses a set of user-defined actions to perform a series of tasks automatically. For example, when slides are scanned in bulk, they often have a thick black border around the resultant images. Using Batch Cropping, you could remove these borders from a folder full of images with only a few clicks, rather than manually cropping out the black border from each slide.

When placing an image on a web page your image should be only as large as it needs to be to display correctly on the page. If your image is too large (800 x 600) and you resize it within the Dreamweaver application by dragging its corners, the file size is not reduced, just the visual size of the image. If you reduce the image size in Photoshop to display the correct size on the web page, you can save file space/size and allow the viewer to view the image much quicker. (For example: An image sized at 800 x 600 could be a 2MB file. If that file is reduced to the size needed on the page, e.g., 360 x 413, the file size can be brought down to 436k. This file is easier for someone to view on a web page through their network connection and saves space on the server.

The method for creating pseudocolor in Photoshop can be done in few steps, but the image will not be colored in the conventional way. The conventional means for producing pseudocolor comes by using a look up table (LUT). This LUT is an overlay for making a range of colors according to choices provided by the software. The colors are matched to levels of brightness and darkness in the image (grayscale pixel values), typically from a short to long wavelengths. In that scenario, violet colors are matched to the black and near-black pixels and red to those close to absolute white. Blue, yellow, green and orange become the mid-range pixel values.

Assembling the Mosaic
The first step after acquiring your images for a mosaic is to assemble them in PhotoShop in their initial configuration. I generally open all the images at the same time and do an initial arrangement to make sure everything is going to fit correctly and nothing is missing. The image below shows 3 frames of a Moon image I have taken as they have been initially dropped onto the canvas for processing. This is the image we will work thru in this tutorial.
