Image Processor resolution

I've done a bit of searching but this is what I'm trying to do:
I have 9 folders (unit 01, 02, etc.) with CS3 .eps files in them. I want to rasterize these files in PS CS3. I would like to use the tools>photoshop>image processor from Bridge to do so. I was successful at setting it up but the resolution was only 72 dpi. I need a 200 dpi Lambda profile TIFF. I was able to set up an action in PS to flatten and set the Lambda profile, which I could also run from the image processor dialog - but how do I adjust the dpi?
Thanks

Not that clear what you mean, but you can either set this in the image processor settings or record it in the action.
There is however a difference in changing resolution. If only changing the resolution it is just a change of numbers but if you want a resize of the image it is another story.
You can choose image size and set the resolution to 200 and uncheck the recalculate pixels option, otherwise choose recalculate and choose the image size.

Bridge to PS image processor

>I mean View>Actual Pixels.
Then, of course, you will see side-stepping pixels in your rasterized image that you would not see in a Vector image.
What does it look like at actual "Print Size"?
6050 x 3051 pixels would produce a print of 23.8" x 12" at 254 ppi. Is that big enough or should you be creating a larger image?
Talk to your people to see if they can run from a PDF (which would retain the vectors and only rasterize them on output at the full DPI of the Durst Lambda) but it does seem that you may need to supply a Tiff and this Info. might be helpful from:
http://www.chromatics.com/Serv-PhotoPrints.htm#PreparingFiles
>
Preparing files for Lambda-Direct self-service printing
>Files for Lambda-Direct prints are imaged "as received" with no adjustments. We accept tiff and JPEG files.
For predictable results, you must be using full color-management with Photoshop 6, 7 or CS and an accurately profiled monitor using one of our printer profiles for soft-proofing. These are basic tools required for preparing files for this service and we cannot be responsible for poor results if your system is not fully compliant. Sources of good information on monitor profiling and colorimeters are X-Rite , Colorvision and Dry Creek Photo.
Files should be saved at 254 ppi at the final image size you need, saved in a standard color space, like Adobe1998 RGB, ColorMatch RGB, sRGB, ProPhoto RGB or CMYK (swop2) and tagged accordingly.
Do not convert your files to our printer profiles and do not tag your files with our printer profiles. Use our printer profiles only for soft-proofing, then save your file in one of the standard color spaces.>
So, basically:
Prepare a Tiff file for full output-size at 254 ppi.
Use the Lambda Profiles (which you can get here):
http://www.chromatics.com/sidebar-Profiles.htm
for Soft Proofing ONLY.
But retain the Tiff in a recognized and tagged RGB space and let your Lambda operator apply the correct Profile in the "Print" dialog.

Image Processor Pro and Picture Processor load eps files without rasterizing them

Hi. My name is Lucas. Im from Argentina, now living in Brazil. I have the problem that is in the title. Im new doing this stuff but reading a lot i discovered that both scripts open eps files and because they dont get reasterized, then saved files looks preety bad.
I know that there are some parameters to open eps, ex:
var epsOpenOptions = new EPSOpenOptions();
   epsOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
   epsOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
   epsOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
   epsOpenOptions.constrainProportions = true;
I have to say that looking for a solution a found a script and modified to suit partially my needs. I said partially because i need the script to look folders and save output files with same structure. Here is the script that manage one folder at a time:
#target photoshop
// Asks user for input folder
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process");
// Asks user for output folder
var OutputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to save your Tiffs");
if ( inputFolder != null && OutputFolder != null ) {
   // Makes list of all files located in that folder
   var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles( "*.eps" );
   // Create a EPS option object [height & width are doc size]
   var epsOpenOptions = new EPSOpenOptions();
   epsOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
   epsOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
   epsOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
   epsOpenOptions.constrainProportions = true;
   // Open each file in turn
   for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
      // open the file
      app.open( fileList[i], epsOpenOptions );
      var baseName = activeDocument.name.slice( 0,-4 );
      // put your code to 'save as' the file here
      var saveFile = new File ( OutputFolder + "/" + baseName + ".jpg" );
   SaveForWeb(saveFile,60); // set quality to suit
function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;
sfwOptions.optimized = true;
sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);
activeDocument.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );
So, if you know some way modify image processor pro or picture processor i will be very pleased.
Because i will only use the script to manage eps files and save them as jpg (save for web) i dont need an special button to activate that option. Keep it simple. Thanx!!

You can tweak ImageProcessorPro.jsx by make the following edit.
Search for code that looks like this:
ImageProcessor.prototype.openDocument = function(file) {
var self = this;
var settings = self.settings;
var mode = DialogModes.NO;
var ext = file.strf("%e").toLowerCase();
var isRaw = ImageProcessor.CAMERA_RAW_FILES.contains(ext);
if (isRaw) {
and insert this code right after it:
if (ext == "eps") {
    var epsOpenOptions = new EPSOpenOptions();
    epsOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
    epsOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
    epsOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
    epsOpenOptions.constrainProportions = true;
    try {
      var doc = app.open(file, epsOpenOptions);
    } catch (e) {
      Error.runtimeError(9002, ZStrings.UnableToOpenErr);
    return doc;
I haven't tested this at all but it looks good from here.

Image processor keeping files open in PS CC - not saving

I am trying to use my watermark action with image processor to "process/batch my high resolution for print files to be for web png" my files all at once [saving as PNG]
Photoshop is keeping the files open with out saving them.
my action consists of-
placing an image
fit image [makes low res for web]
set selection
align
flatten
i used this action in my previous version of PS with no issues.
tried re-making the action- same thing happened.
Please help
Thank you!!

I haven't experienced that problem. But a related annoying problem with batch actions in CS4 is that if I minimize Photoshop while a batch action is running, the program interface minimizes, but the images open and close on the desktop still. In prior versions of PS, I could minimize the program and the batch action would go on in the background, invisible to me, while I could do other tasks. But now, when I run a batch to convert over 1000 files, each one pops open on the desktop, in front of any other open app's windows. It then closes and the next one opens, etc. Which means my computer is unusableduring any batch command.
Very annoying! How could the QA and beta testers have not noticed this?

Help needed to enhance Image Processor Pro Script to save transparency in TIF

Hi everyone,
this is my first post in this community.
We have a droplet which reduces the resolution of tif images to 72dpi and save the tif image with transparency. This works fine, but it took to long for the whole process of many picture in different folders. That's the reason why we searched for another script which can preserve the folder structure and set the resolution of every tif image to 72dpi.
We found Image Processor Pro, which does exactly what we needed. The script works perfectly in CS5 and CS5.5 as it saves the tif with the transparency. Those saved tif images could be used in InDesign with the transparency.
BUT Image Processor Pro script works not so perfectly in CS6 as it seems that this option to save a tif with transparency is not implemented or does not work in the script. The result is that those converted tif images are w/o transparency in InDesign. That's a huge problem for us.
This is the point where I need your help. Neither I have experience yet with jsx-files nor with the right syntax of it.
Is there a way for anybody of you to implement / enhance Image Processor Pro so it will save tif with transparency?
We used the latest German Version of Image Processor Pro: 2.3.1 (link: http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html)
(The German version contains only german on screen texts!)
I am very thankful for every help you can give.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Possible causes:
1) It probably has nothing to do with your image files, but you won't know until someone else tests one of them. You could create a small 50% gray TIFF file with transparency and post it, assuming you know it exhibits the issue with IPP.
2) At the download link you provided:
http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
There are two installers for Image Processor (CS5 and CS6). Did you download and install the CS6 Version Installer?
3) Another possible solution other than modifying the script is to reset the PS Preferences file. When strange things happen in PS with no explanation this usually fixes them. My PS CS6 was inflating all new files by 1.4MB. After examining one of the files it turned out PS was inserting a Costco printer profile into every new file. So don't automatically assume your PS image files are not somehow being corrupted and causing loss of transparency in IPP. Creating a new Preferences file resolved my issue:

You may want to record your old Preferences settings prior to creating a new one, but test it first with the default settings.

Where is it possible to batch process the size of images?--I am able to change pixel dimensions in image processor but not image size in inches.

Hi- I need to batch process images for video project. I am able to change the pixel dimensions in the image processor but don't seem to have the option to change image size in inches. Please advise! Thanks

You don't need inches for video (or screen viewing in general). It all goes by pixel count. Inches is for print, nothing else.
But to answer the question, you can run actions in the Image Processor, and this is where you set size in inches. Just bring up Image Size, uncheck "resample image", and specify size. You'll notice resolution changes to reflect the fact that the existing image pixels are now redistributed over the new print size.
But again, screen doesn't care about size or resolution. It only counts pixels.

Image processor script and image interpolation setting (cs3)

Hi all,
I'm using Bridge & Photoshop CS3 (mac) to process batches of photographs. I've discovered that the script "Image Processor" does not take into account the "image interpolation" setting of my General Preferences in Photoshop.
It's very painful, because I cannot use "Image Processor" any longer, as it produces soft images where I need sharp ones (my default for "image interpolation" is "bicubic sharper".
Any idea/workaround?
thanks
Patrick

This is the change I made in CS5 fit image
    // resize the image using a good conversion method while keeping the pixel resolution
    // and the aspect ratio the same
    //app.activeDocument.resizeImage(newWidth, newHeight, resolution, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC); Commented out JJMACK
    if ( newWidth > app.activeDocument.width || newHeight > app.activeDocument.height ) {
        if (!limit) {app.activeDocument.resizeImage(newWidth, newHeight, resolution, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSMOOTHER);}
    else { app.activeDocument.resizeImage(newWidth, newHeight, resolution, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER); }
Note: Adobe choice to use BICUBIC is probally the best choice for users in general. For I find an images has been sharpened before its downsizes, downsizimg it using BICUBICSHARPER is not the best choice then.

Image Processor Tab Missing in New Adobe Bridge CC 2014

In the new Bridge CC you used to have a TAB under tools called Photoshop which you could run the script Image Processor for easily processing jpegs. What has happened to this and is their maybe a new way of processing jpegs to lo-res that I dont know about from tiff or jpeg or does my bridge have a problem?
I have attached a image grab from my bridge that shows that the tab is not there. I know that you can access image processor directly from Photoshop, but they used to always be linked.

No, it is still in Bridge CC.
Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014? If so, that may have removed some of the Bridge integration scripts by mistake. Re-installing Photoshop CC 2014 should replace the scripts.
and it should give the image processor tab back

Problem with Adobe BRIDGE getting Photoshop/Image Processor menu

When I open my drop-down or fly-out menu under TOOLS in Bridge (CS3 version), the entire portion of the menu which is supposed to appear next underneath the Cache line option is missing (i.e., Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Start Meeting..., Photoshop services).
What gives?
I'm trying to get to Image Processor under the Photoshop menu option (which is supposed to appear in the Tools drop-down menu).
Please tell me what's wrong. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but there IS no Photoshop subheading in my Tools menu.
That exactly describes the problem I'm having!

Image Processor not working in CS 5

I have installed CS5 Design Premium on my Mac Pro at work. (Had installed the education demo, but it turns out my school doesn't fit Adobe's critereon for eligibility - and doesn't take it back after telling you that) although we have qualified for years, and we education people in 14 countries are are the top school in the world on our subject. No biggie, the upgrade's only $50 more with the NAPP discount.
But at home it installed just fine on my Mac Pro and works great. But at work, where CS4 works flawlessly, I can't get it to run Image Processor from Bridge, or import photos into Photoshop Layers, it does do Photomerge, but it also does not do HDR PRo.
Before the settings wouldn't stick in image processor, and I fixed the issue by changing permissions on the Photoshop settings folder in my user account. Now settings stick for Image Processor, but when I tell it to process a set of images, it keeps coming up with a dialog saying "Sorry, I could not process the following files..." and then gives a list of each file with it's the path.
I'm wondering if the javascrpits running this process are broken, or have permission problems. (Image Processor, HDR Pro, etc.)
If in Bridge, I seelct Tools->Photoshop->Batch, it gives me an error dialog: "FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. <No additional Information Available>"
I rely on Photoshop for a very large portion of my work. And that includes processing thousands of images. I cannot see how this problem is unique to me. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? Am I stuck with CS4 for automation? BTW, I can use Applescripts to automate Photoshop CS5. How wierd is that? Scripts I wrote work, but built-in ones appear to be broken on this machine.
Additional information: I'm on a Windows network using Active Directory and my company user account while this is happening. Where it works at home, it's just my own Mac running OS X 10.6.4. I have all the latest CS5 updates installed.

But all the
files that are in my home directory (Snow Leopard 10.6.5) give that error.
Do you have a beta of Snow Leopard, to my best knowledge 10.6.4 is the
latest version??
I'm going to format
the drive on Monday and restore my system from Backup and see what that does.
First try the uninstall CS5 suite using the uninstaller that is in each
application folder. Also erase your serial number from computer and run the
clean script:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
It is useless to reformat and after that reinstall from Back Up when you
also re install the current preferences, highly likely you will end up with
the same problem because you copied the old prefs again

How do I fix an access rights error when launching Image Processor in Adobe Bridge CC?

Often when I am working on files and want to batch process Jpegs for clients I get an error message from Image Processor. It will state "I am unable to create a file in this folder. Please check your access rights to this location ...."
I have cleared cache and up'd my history levels. I checked to make sure the files were not locked and read/write was enabled. I am not sure why this error keeps occurring. I am using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.2.2 release) with Adobe Bridge CC (6.1.0.115)

It's an endless circle.

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

Heh heh heh. It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
Thanks for following up with the answer.

Image processor from Bridge problem

ONe of most annoying things with Bridge is that often, image processor wont open from Bridge -- unless you quit out and relaunch Bridge -- quite a hassle.

You are absolutely correct. In order to pass selected images in bridge over to photoshop, you need to invoke IP from within Bridge. I didn't make that connection from your earlier post.
So your original request makes sense. Personally, I would rather see an improvement in Image Processor (as well as the Batch dialog) that allowed one to specify the source as "Bridge".
In photoshop 7, in the batch dialog, you could specify the source of the files to be batched as "Open Files", "folder", or "File Browser". If you choose File Browser, the batch action will be performed on files selected within FB.
In CS2, in the batch dialog, you can see Bridge as an option, but it's grayed out. You can only invoke the Batch operation on files selected in Bridge from within Bridge - a serious shortcoming.
The same theme holds true for Image Processor, and indeed, it looks like most of the scripts behave that way.
So rather than have a shortcut, I would like, as I say, the ability to specify bridge as a source in the dialog boxes for the image processor and batch dialogs.

Problem with Image Processor CS5

From Bridge I use tools/photoshop/image processor and convert raw with xmp files to jpegs after entering description and keywords in Bridge File Info. Suddenly, PS is not longer putting this information into the jpeg files. Why?

I'm beginning to think CS3 just isn't capable of handling long actions. Just to give you an idea what I'm doing is watermarking my photos with 3 items: a text logo, url and name. each of them consists of the same steps with the difference only being on their shape, size and position. so you can imagine 3 separate actions combine into 1. to test out my hypothesis, I deactivated 2 of them and tested for each one without any problem. next, I combined any 2 and failed. so my conclusion is CS3 just can't handle long actions as well as CS2.
