You can configure batch queues so that processed images are opened automatically in an external image editor. The batch queue's file output settings include a field to specify the path to the executable file of another graphics program that supports the processed file type.

6. | Click Select and in the Choose an External Image Editor dialog box, navigate to the external viewer's executable file.

7. | Select the executable file and click Open.

After an image is added to the batch queue and processed, it opens in the external viewer automatically.
