Open ATN File

An ATN extension file contains one or more actions recorded in Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop is software that is widely used for raster image editing, graphic design, and digital art.

It makes use of layers to allow depth and flexibility in the design and editing process, as well as provide powerful editing tools, which when combined, are capable of almost anything.

The ATN file is used to automate common editing steps and to batch process images.

Batch processes, in an ATN file, allow a series of image files to be processed, which in principle, can be automated with specific processing instructions, increasing the efficiency of the workflow.

The batch save to ATN file feature allows you to specify an unlimited number of source files to process and export.

Raw files will be revealed automatically, and both the format of the exported files and the image dimensions can be configured.

Batch processes in an ATN are different from macros, however they can coexist and be used together.

Any number of pre-recorded macros can be applied to source files, which means you can very quickly apply certain operations to multiple files, which together with an ATN file, speed up any bulk operation.

Typically, an ATN file is a text file that contains a script that instructs the system to perform specific tasks.

The ATN can be saved and loaded using the Photoshop Actions palette pop-up menu.
