Photoshop - Batch processing action - use "Auto" in RAW-dialog

[ripraprob]

<p>I know how to automate my processing of RAW-files, including overriding the RAW-dialog.<br>

But now I have a few hundred files I want to give a standard treatment.<br>

Basically this:</p>

<ol>

<li>Open RAW file (Nikon NEF) </li>

<li>In Adobe RAW dialogue box, select AUTO setting</li>

<li>Do stuff in Photoshop</li>

<li>Save file as JPG</li>

<li>Close file</li>

</ol>

<p>My problem is in step 2 above:<br>

I know how to apply the SAME settings to all my pictures<br>

And I know how to apply the CAMERA RAW DEFAULTS to all my pictures<br>

But I can't get my action to use the AUTO-settings:<br>

How do I do this?<br>

The closest I have gotten, is to a point where my action 'pauses', so I can click 'auto' manually, but that makes kind of kills the whole idea of using an action.<br>

Is there at setting or a trick I've missed?<br /> <br /> Thank you for you help.<br>

<p>Don't use an action. Use The Image Processor instead. No muss no fuss.</p>
