Bulk save as psd file not saved with Maximize Compatibility selected in preference

I want to do a "bulk save as" for psd files that were not saved with Maximize File Compatibility selected in Preferences. I'm trying to import those files into LR5 but I get an error message. Or is there a work around for resolving this issue? I have both PS CS6 and PS CC. Also Bridge for both. I've just subscribed to LR5.

LR does not support Layers, PSD files may have layers so you may have a problem using LR to do what you want to do.
Set your Photoshop Preferences to always save with Max Compatibility.
Record a save action one step menu File>save.
Then use Adobe Bridge menu Edit>Find to find all your PSD files.
Then select all and use menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch  and if your lucky and don't catch an Adobe Bug Photoshop will start and the Batch dialog will open,  You can the set the Save Action Set and the Save Action  all the PSD selected in the Bridge should open and saved.
I cancelled the search short here the search for all psd files could take a very long time and did not run the batch.
You will have a better chance not catching an Adobe bug if Photoshop is not up and running when you use the here.  Bridge may try to start a different version of Photoshop then the one running when you use menu tools>Photoshop>Batch.  Bridge CC was updated to start CC 2014 there is no bridge CC 2014.
This site scale image poorly you can scale them if you view them in a new tab or window.

  • .psd file not working with Motion 5

    I have a .psd that doesn't want to work with Motion 5.  Every time I try and import it, Motion says that it's not a valid codec.  I can't figurt out what's going on, all my other .psd files seem to work.
    Yes, I'm using RGB colors not CMYK (that is the onne known issue thus far).
    I'm just totally at a lose.  Here's what the console says, if anyone has any insight, I woudl appreciate it:
    6/27/11 1:12:55 PM          [0x0-0xb50b5].com.apple.motionapp[1326]          CPSDSlicesResourceItem::Load(): unsupported slice resource item version (8)

    I'd be happy to email one of them to you if you'd like.  Or give it to you in some fashion at any rate.  I'm not seeing this problem pop up anywhere else on the internet, so I'm guessing it's just me.  But it would be nice to check with another motion user.
    Email me at jay <no space, just keeping the bots guessing> carr <at> gmail <I'm sure you can guess> com.
    It certainly would be nice to see what happens when I give it to you.  I'm having some very significant issues with PDFs and can't figure out why...

  • Files not saving with Deco tool or Spray Brush tool selected

    I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
    Please clarify.

    Hmm - thanks for letting us know.
    It does seem to be the case that the "*" next to the file name does not go away when these particular tools are selected. It does seem to actually save the changes though to the document, so you should be safe after the ctrl+s.

  • How to save a PSD file with a composite image?

    Windows 7 64bit  | Photoshop CS4  |  iMatch DAM
    Somewhere along the line I must have changed a setting, because many of my images now are not viewable in my DAM software (iMatch), or other photo viewers, like Picasa for instance. Instead, a small rectangular black box appears that says "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image". Can a contributor tell me where the setting is  to save with a composite - Assistance is very much appreciated, IM

  • Can't save layered .psd files in Photoshop CS3

    Hello,
    I noticed yesterday that I can no longer save layered .psd files to any folder. What does get saved is only a generic file symbol.
    I'm using a Dell 8200 computer, 1GB of RAM, IntelPentium4 processer, Windows XP Professional,and a Canon MP780 multiple function printer.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    George Masi

    Is it saved incorrectly, or is the problem just that the icon is the generic one. In other words, can you A) click to open the file from the desktop. And, b) if you can't click from the desktop, can you open the file from within Photoshop, and see the layers correctly.
    If B works, and A does not, then this means your Windows has lost the association between PSD files and Photoshop. You can often correct this by right clicking the file, and choosing Open With, with the Always open with this program field checked. There is also a way to set the icons back up, but this is more complicated.

  • 16 Bit PSD Files Not Compressed

    Something that's not new, but that I've not really noticed before...
    Image compression in Photsohop CS6 doesn't seem to be effective on a 16 bit PSD when Maximize Compatibility is turned on.
    For example, with Maximize Compatibility set to Always, if I create a new file 6144 x 4096 pixels x 16 bits/channel with a pure white background, and add a single text layer that says "This is a test", then save the file, it's 144 megabytes.  Zipping that same file into a .zip archive results in a massive reduction, to 245 kbytes.
    Sure enough the saved file size goes down if I set Maximize Compatibility to Never. But even that can be hugely more compressed by zip (down to 88 kbytes).
    This implies the failure to compress is happening on the flattened preview.
    If I change to 8 bits/channel and save that same document either way it's about two and a half megabytes, differing only a couple hundred kbytes between Maximize Compatibility Always vs. Never.  In this case, apparently the flattened preview is being compressed nicely.
    These are my file handling preferences.  Note that I do NOT have [ ] Disable Compression checked.
    Doing a bit of spot testing, I believe this is nothing new - it has been the same in recent past versions (e.g., Ps CS5, CS4).  I've just never noticed that saving 16 bits/channel data yielded such huge files (because I always diaabled compression anyway), but apparently it has been the same all along.
    No problem here - this is just a curiosity to me, as I have a fast disk array and these saves are all quick enough.  I choose the "Always" maximize compatibility setting because I have a viewer (IrfanView) that I use for quick previews that won't read files saved with Maximize Compatility disabled.
    I suppose it does beg the question:  What prevents Photoshop from doing the Flate compression on the flattened preview in a 16 bits/channel PSD file?  Was there an old version that couldn't decompress such files?
    -Noel

    Thanks.  That makes sense, especially considering 16 bit data is really 15 bits plus a hair, so an all white background would look, to an RLE compression scheme, like (in hex) 80 00 80 00 80 00 etc. - i.e., be incompressible.
    Is there any kind of compression you could invoke that would work in recent versions of Photoshop?  I'm imagining a "More Compatible" setting, which could give decent compression for a 16 bit file but not necessarily be "Completely Compatible" with everything ever made out there.
    I need to ask the author of IrfanView if he's working on a multi-layer PSD decoding scheme.  I know there are people who have done it (the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack provides previews and thumbnails for Maximize Compatibility: Never files, for example).
    -Noel

  • Image Adjustments Not Saved with DNG?

    It appears that the adjustments (i.e. all of the work you do to "develop" your pictures) are not saved with the image file. They appear to be saved in the LR Library. So if anything happens to your library, your developing work is gone. I thought my adjustments were saved with the DNG, but this does not appear to be the case.
    So, to be sure that my work is saved with the image, it appears that the processed files must be saved to a different format like JPG, TIFF, or PSD. With JPG quality is lost, and your ability to edit is severely compromised. With PSD and TIFF, you have another copy of extremely large files to deal with.
    Is my understanding correct?
    What are your suggestions to deal with this?
    Thank you.

    Geoff and John,
    Thank you very much.
    You confirm the critical point that your work is saved in the Library, and the Library must be closely supervised and backed up.
    Beside my on-site backups, I set up a Stuffit schedule to back up a daily version of my library. My current library is 57.6MB and Stuffit compresses it to 8.7MB and automatically FTPs it to my web site for archiving.
    I found that my 2GB file of previews is unnecessary, since my computer creates new previews almost as quickly as it reads the preview file, at least on a folder basis. So, I removed my preview files, and I have them saved for only one day in prefrences.
    For my DNGs, beside my on-site backups, I create a DNG with the RAW (NEF) file embedded and back them up on my web site. Then I create DNGs with Adobe DNG converter, without embedded RAWs (LR embeds the RAWs)to use for my working files.
    One of the reasons I decided to use DNGs is to avoid having separate XMP files. However, it sounds like you can export the XMP to the DNG without creating separate XMPs. I'll look in to that. I assume that exporting the XMPs to the DNGs will allow me to open them directly in CS2 (not by exporting from LR) or other programs with my adjustments intact. This would solve the problem of losing adjustments if the Library becomes dysfunctional.
    Thanks again.
    Eric

  • Download files not saved

    Download files not saved. Click on download and then click on "Save", next the download window opens, but it does not show the download file?
    I recently downloaded Nero 11 and then removed. I also deleted some software Babylon, Yonno (? some name) in control panel.
    Using ZoneAlarm 10.1.101 and Firefox 10.0.2 (removed and reinstalled).

    Hello Cor-el,
    I went to Tools>Options>Privacy and it is checked off as you indicated/noted...
    I will check out the URL downloads+windows later this week...
    ZoneAlarm will not work with the latest Firefox versions 14 (or earlier ones)... so reverted to an older version of Firefox and ZoneAlarm... and it works! Aside- it is ANNOYING to click on latest version upload for Firefox and then get a screen showing what software is not compatible with that version. So I needed to remove the latest Firefox version and ZoneAlarm.. and re-install both.
    No need to use Firefox 10.0.6 ESR because I am a small home user and not a big organization?
    Thanks for your help, I will have to make the time this coming week and look into this further.

    P.S. The files are still not downloading and saved?

  • Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

    Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
    The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
    I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
    Kind regards,
    Jelle

    Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
    Further details:
    -photoshop cc and after effects cc.
    -macbook pro retina
    If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

  • Modification to pdf files not saved in the original document

    The modification to pdf files are not saved in the original documents (e.g. in My Documents) but a new file is created in Download\Adobe Reader and for every saving I do a new file (e.g.  -1, -2, ..) is created. Is that normal? If yes, it is really annoying.
    Adobe reader 10.6.1
    Android 4.1.2
    Thanks

    No, it is not a read only file and I can modify it. The problem is that the modifications are not saved with the same name in the original (e.g. in My Documents) folkder but in a different one (Download\Adobe Reader) and for every saving I do a new file (e.g.  -1, -2, ..) is created.

  • How to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP

    hi Experts
    I would like to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP
    When I interface Transaction File From Other Cube,
    I want to run Interface test from ABAP using Transformantation / Conversion File before run DM.
    and, l want to Manage files with ABAP Program ,if need to modify Transformantation / Conversion File
    Thank you.

    Hi Young,
    In addition to the above suggestions, would like to inform you that, if your requirement can be met by running those files in BPC Excel itself, what is the point in running ABAP program for the same?
    It would be much more easier for you to run those files in BPC Excel itself and that is how BPC is designed.
    Hope this clarifies further.

  • Why are my deleted emails saving in my 'pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved in my pictures??????

    Why are my deleted emails saving in 'my pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved
    in my pictures??????

    I deleted emails from my windows emails and when I went into my pictures there was all my recently deleted items as pdf adobe files and I cannot right click and delete. But why would my deleted emails be going to my pictures in the first place. So i think it must be in how the adobe program is set up and need to know how to change the settings so my deleted emails are not sent to my pictures.I do not know what other details you would require?
