ACR 64bit processing multiples files at a time - performance

Hi all -
I recently built a new CPU with a raid 0 drive and a core i7 processor. The first few times I processed photos in ACR hosted in Photoshop 64 it would process 4 photos at a time which seems like it would optimally utilize all 8 cores. Recently I've noticed that sometimes it will process 4 photos at a time but usually it will do 3 at a time. I can't consistantly get it to run 4 at a time any more which makes me think photoshop isn't getting as many resources as it could/ should.
Does anyone have an idea how acr decides how many raw images it will grab at once when it is processing out to jpgs? OR how to improve ACR processing performance?
Thanks,
-Dan

ACR supports multiple cores and multi-threading on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. Depending on other activities, ACR may not use all available cores when processing images (e.g., one core may be reserved for handling foreground activities such as user input, UI redraw, etc.).
There are definitely differences between 32 and 64 bit builds. I have observed this myself. I have 8 processor threads (2 actual cores with hyperthreading in each of two separate Intel Xeon DP 5060 3.2 GHz processors).
I just tested ACR 6.3, with Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 8 GB, with ATI Radeon HD 4670 video card...
Photoshop CS5 12.0.3, File - Open, Canon EOS-40D raw file conversion to upsampled resolution of 6144 x 4096 pixels, some lens corrections, sharpening and noise reduction enabled. Same exact image and settings for both tests.
32 bit Photoshop running 32 bit Camera Raw: 13.8 seconds, Task Manager shows less than 25% load.
64 bit Photoshop running 64 bit Camera Raw: 6.0 seconds, Task Manager shows 100% load.
This is easily repeatable.
Computer shows 5% to 8% load just sitting here (I'm playing music, and this forum chews up cycles too).
I'm forced to conclude, despite what you wrote above MadManChan2000, that Camera Raw is using only 1 or 2 of 8 available threads in the 32 bit build, all 8 threads in the 64 bit build.
Can you explain the difference please? Is it possible the logic isn't simple, and while the 32 bit Camera Raw may use multiple threads for some things, that noise reduction or lens corrections aren't using all threads?

Email notification to specific user when processing multiple files at a time

Hi
I am new to SSIS and error mail notification ,can some please provide details for my urgent and prioritized task in my project.
below is the requirement
I have a package for multiple file processing using for each file enumerator .each file having same column definition but for different
users and different name .
i have some mandatory fields to form unique id on combination
1.when files processing any data missed on mandatory fields it should alert users saying following line and fields are missing mandatory
information
2.email notification should send to respective users based on file name.
example :
file1:bitunimous.xls
file 2.oxford.xls
each file having following fields
file 1:bitunimous.xls
claim no: claimant: subclaim:
1001 abc 0
1002 abc 1
1002 abe 0
1004 0
here bitunimous.xls missed claimant value for 4th line then email needs to send to [email protected] as
line no 4 missed claimant information for unique key generation like that.
file 2.oxford.xls
claim no: claimant: subclaim:
2001 det 0
2002 pre 1
pqr 0
2004 frc
here oxford.xls missed claimno value for 3rd line then email needs to send to [email protected] as
line no 3 missed claimno information for unique key generation like that.
can anybody please provide solution
Thanks .
Ambed

You need to have a package with below work flow
1. ForEachLoop container with file enumerator to loop through files
Have variable inside loop to get the filename during each iteration. Create another variable called emailaddress, set EvaluateAsExpression property to true and set expression as
REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".xls","") + (DT_STR,20,1252) "@xyx.com"
2. Add tasks for validating data. Capture details of error on a string variable @[User::Error]
3. link a sent mail task to previous task and choose expression and constraint option. Set Constraint as On Completion and Expression as LEN(@Error) > 0
Inside Sent mail task set expression for ToLine and MessageSource properties to map to variables @[User::EmailAddress] and @{User::Error] respectively to sent notifications

Process Multiple Files hangs Computer

Running PSE 12 on a HP Pavilion with Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 and all current patches applied.
I am what I consider an avid photographer (not professional but I take a lot of pictures) and I have been using PhotoShop Elements for over 5 years (all different versions of course).
Recently whenever I use Process Multiple Files in the editor to get photos ready for displaying on my blog my computer just hangs and I have to turn it off by way of the power switch.
Here is what happens:
I edit photos in the editor adjusting exposure and cropping and such then I need to get them ready to display online so I go into Process Multiple Files (much faster then doing it one by one).
I then point the output to the folder I want adjust the output size and file type to JPEG and click on OK.
The photos get processed as always and I am presented with the blank editor screen (no pictures as they all closed after being processed)
Then when I try to go back to the organizer (or any place else) the computer just sits there and does nothing (The clock does not even update during this hang).
I tried to get to the Task Manager by hitting the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys but nothing happens. The computer is totally unresponsive.
I have even tried just letting it sit and see if it ever comes back. When I did this it eventually blanked my screen after the time I specified in the screen saver. When I moved the mouse it just came back to the empty editor.
When I need to edit my photos I use Process Multiple Files all the time as it is a great time saver when saving photos for the web.
Any and all help will be appreciated in resolving this issue.
P.S. I have been using PSE12 since December of 2013 without any problems until now. Also it does not matter if I process 3 files or 30 files same results, computer hangs.

The folder I was trying to process was in another folder with a
backslash in the name. Once I removed the backslash, Process Multiple
Files worked again. Thanks for the quick response and the helpful hint.

PhotoShop Elements 10...I need help with font size for watermark in Processing Multiple Files.....

I have PhotoShop Elements 10, and I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have successfully added them one at a time with a font large enough to be seen. Now I am trying to add it using the "process multiple files" , I can do that but the font even at 72 the largest setting is so small on the photo you can barely read it! Can anyone help me the size larger on my photos?

Thank you, Michael. I just watched the Russell Brown video again for CS6 and looked real closely at his settings in ACR and he was using 240ppi. I changed my file in image size to 240 ppi and then ran the script and the layer didn't change size this time when I ran the script.
It is kind of annoying to have to change the image size everytime I want to run this script and then change it back again as most of my files are 300 ppi. I used to run his script for edit in ARC in CS5 and recall that if I just remembered to change the settings in ARC to 300 ppi while the script was playing and before pressing 'open' that the image wouldn't change size during the raw processing, but this doesn't seem to be working in CS6. Do you know of a way to use this script and not have to change the ppi for the image to 240?
Thanks again.

Can't process multiple files on one of three catalogs

After getting straightened out about getting my catalogs in order, which I've done, I've run into another problem. I have three catalogs one for People, one for Things and one I call Workplace where I try out things that are new to me so I don't mess up my main catalogs.
I've straightened out the files in my Things catalog. I have one catagory that contains images of autograph book pages from the late 1800s. Those scans were done in JPEG some time ago. I've tried using multiple processing to change these 55 images to psd in the original file to be consistent with the rest of the catalog. Each time the process fails.
In order to see what the problem might be I have copied the catagory file into both of my other catalogs and have been able to process the catagory file back into itself as psd. I have also created another small file in the Things catalog and tried to convert it and had the same result. The warning info box that appears when copying back into the same file states that the original files will be overwritten. The psd files do not overwrite the jpg files. They are added to the original file. That may be the way it is intended to be. That's not a real problem.
The real question is why can't I process multiple files in the original catalog. I have looked at the error file and, although I don't know much about most of it, I found the following in the first part of the file.
crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
I run XP SP3 and PSE 8. I am a single user with administrator rights. I find no mention of a permission filter in the PSE 8 program.
I'm stuck until I solve this problem and I need help getting it done. Any suggestions or information will be greatly appreciated.

One thing to try : instead of using 'process multiple files', can you use the 'export' feature in the Organizer to export the jpegs of that category in psd format into a new folder ?

Processing one file at a time in Biztalk

We are changing the way we're processing files in that where we used to receive hundreds of small files throughout the day, we are now going to have these files batched into larger files that get dropped to our incoming Biztalk directory. I'm concerned about
having the server pick up multiple large files at one time. Is there a way to tell a Biztalk application to only process one file at a time, and not to pick up the next file until the previous one has finished? Note, I do not have a way to build this into
the Orchestration, as this is a Biztalk application that is actually installed by our Trizetto(QNXT) product. It uses Biztalk for XML serialization.
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the size of the messages unless they are approaching 1GB. BizTalk can process roughly 400 msgs/sec. Also if you're worried about processing multiple large files try load balancing. With BizTalk it is quite "easy" to load
balance. In a nut shell you have to have the dll of the application installed on all the servers you want to be apart of load balancing and BizTalk takes care of the rest. Your large files would more than likely split up and processed on different servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa578057(v=bts.80).aspx
The link above is for high availability but could also be used to get a better understanding of load balancing. Also if you use de-batching to split up the 3000-4000 records that would help with processing them. If an orchestration receives a file with 4000
records in them that instance alone processes the whole file. Whereas if you split up the messages each message gets it's own instance of the orchestration which leads to better performance. The only drawback is that it takes more resources so your environment
needs to be fairly large. Also if one server is busy another server with the same dll can take the de-batched messages and process them.
Here is a link to my blog post about de-batching. It is very basic but gives a good base for de-batching.

Problem Processing Multiple Files in Photoshop Elements

I have always used the process multiple files option in the File drop down menu without issue. I recently completed editing some photos as I have done before and wanted to process them into a smaller JPEG file and add my watermark. I set all the settings in the process multiple files program and clicked OK. The first image came up and appeared to process but then a "save as" dialogue box came up. The box was asking to save the file as a photoshop file and not a JPEG. I cant seem to find out why it is doing this. I have restarted the program and my computer running it and I have tried running the same process on other files with the same result.

Which Elements version ?
Was it a raw format file ?
If so, is your bit mode menu in the middle of the bottom bar of the ACR dialog set to 16 bits ? Try setting it to 8 bits and save a raw file in 8 bits before trying the process multiple files again to see if that makes a difference.

Process Multiple Files in Photoshop Elements 4.0.

Please Help,
I have a lot to learn about digital photos and when I retire I will have time. However, I have 4000+ digital photos at 900.0 plus KB (approximate 42.66x32 72ppi) each. Now I discover they take up lots of room (my backup is huge) and need to be resized to properly email. I figure I will resize them all at the same time. I found process multiple files via the file drop down menu > Process Multiple Files by selecting one photo and opening Standard Edit. I then selected Folder in the process files from drop down menu, found my, large, digital photo folder via the browse button, checked include all subfolders, destination same as source, and quit at image size.
Am I on the right track? What is a reasonable image size? PSE uses width, hight, and resolution which is confusing when everyone else talks about file size. I found the PSE help information difficult to understand. I want to do this right the first time and would appreciate your suggestions.
I will change the settings on my Pentax Optio W30 Camera; after I get some help regarding the size issue, so my future photos will be easier to manage.
Thanks

Your images are already smaller than expected. The Pentax Optio W30 is a 7 mega pixel camera, which will produce images of about 3+ MB, when set to highest quality.
It is recommended to shoot at the highest possible quality, keep those images as "originals" and make copies for other purposes, such as email attachments.
If you are planning to resize and overwrite your originals, you will cause serious quality deterioration.
My suggestion is that you 1) set your camera to the highest quality and 2) get an exterior hard drive for storage.

Issue In Lock Box while processing mutiple files at a time:Tcode FLBP

Hi Experts,
I have an issue while executing Program RFEBLB30 (or tcode FLBP) for Variant which contains more than one file,means.Variant contains two files ,One file contains Single cheque details and other file contains multiple cheques.
the final output showing wrong values in Total advice & cheque amount.
when we process single file at a time(whether file has single or multiple cheque details) we are not facing any issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Veera.

It seems that there is no standard solution there.
Why do you have 2 files, is this 2 different batches ? Are they from the same day ? Can you ask the bank to bundle them ? Can you run FLBP twice a day to pick uop 1 file only ?
In FLBP standard selection fields available are
- Destination / Origin
- Lockbox
- Date
You can maybe also configure a dummy lockbox, use an exit to change it when you process the file.

URGENT!!! Please help~ Process Multiple Files says folder empty

When I try to use the Process Multiple Files feature, it is giving me a message saying that the process was stopped or cancelled. Press continue or stop. When I click continue, it say that the folder is empty. It is not empty. This is what I use all the time to put my watermark on my photos. I've never had a problem with it before. Any suggestions? Please

Thank you for responding. I am using Windows 8. Since posting this about Process Multiple Images, I have noticed that PSE is not even opening images. It will open the File>OPEN window, and act like it is going to import the image for about 1 second. Then......nothing???? Any suggestions?

Process Multiple Files jpegs grayed out

Process Multiple Files in Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac OS 10.9.2 worked on several folders of jpegs then stopped working. Any folder that contains jpegs has the jpeg files grayed out. I get the error message, "The source folder you have selected is empty." However I can work on the jpeg files in that folder if I do it one at a time. I tried quitting the program then going back in and still I get the same error message.

Process Multiple Files on a Mac.

Erroro message is "Could not complete your request because of a disk error".
I have a new Mac Book pro with the new Lion OSX. I've installed PSE 10. I used to have a PC and I absolutely love Photoshop Elements. I especially love being able to batch process a lot of photos at one time automatically.
It seems that PSE is not finding the photo files. They are there but they are not being picked up by the program. Is this program not compatible with this computer or what. I am getting very frustrated and feel I have wasted my money on buying a program that once was a very easy program to use. How do I get PSE to work in the process multiple files function.
I've read all the tutorials and researched some of the answers provided in this forum but the one that may have helped me is not an easy problem solving exercise. What am I doing wrong.
I notice that PSE will not find files on I Photo either, so I have to create seperate files to even begin to start to find the photo files in PSE.
Looking forward to a fix on this as I have been a huge PSE fan.
Phil...

The editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or go to applications and hold down the three keys whilst double clicking on Photoshop Elements Editor application.
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes

Process Multiple Files - Not Renaming RAW to JPG

Im trying to process a few RAW files and convert them to JPG.
The Process raw dialog is set up correct, but it seems after the first image is processed, I am prompted for a location to save the file, and its wanting to be saved as a .psd file and in the same location of the .RAW files...dispite the fact that I have a seperate destination location specified, and despite the fact that I have the settings to convert to >JPG Max Quality.
Any ideas why this may be happening? I am new to elements so im not sure if I am doing something wrong. I modified a RAW file and set my edits as the Camera Raw Default, and I just with to apply these settings to all my RAW files and convert to jpg.

There is a bit of a sequence to follow but this seems to work best.
To convert to jpeg select your raw files in Organizer and click on the Fix tab and choose Full Photo Edit. Wait for Camera Raw to open and click the button Select All (top left) then apply your saved default settings to all the selected images. Keep them all selected and click Open Images (towards bottom right - and select 8 bit as Barbara suggests before clicking that button) to send the selected images into the Editor.
After the Editor opens go to the top menu bar click File >Process Multiple Files.
Set the dropdown for your source to Opened Files then for the destination, check same as source.
At the bottom of the dialog under File Type choose the jpeg quality from the dropdown e.g. Max, High, Medium or Low. Choose your naming convention.
Click OK and leave the program to run (this can take a bit of time as raw files are usually large). When finished close the Editor and return to your folder to see your Jpegs next to your raw files. Or go to your new destination folder if preferred.

Process multiple files issues

Hi all,
I tried to process multiples files with PSE9.
My purpose was :
Source DNG files
Photo optimization, add a tag left bottom and record the results into jpeg high quality files in an empty directory.
The results I got were :
-optimization applied
-Tag not included
-for every single file a pop up windows required a location to register the file (psd format)
-no jpeg file produced
I do not understand what I miss coded so that I did not get my jpegs.
How can I avoid the pop up phase?
Regards,
Thierry

Michel,
I ran the test again with ACR screen tagged at 8 bits rather than 16 bits.
The process went up to the end without any pop up. The tag is there etc.
As a conclusion I would say that you're right and when you require a jpeg while you openned the file as 16 bits PSE9 propose a compatible format even if the message is not explicit.
Regards,
Thierry
