ACR & IPHOTO--processing multiple images

I am wondering how I can open multiple pictures in ACR from IPHOTO to process?
Thanks a bunch..I have been trying to figure this out forever!!
Jenny

I'm not sure it's possible to do it directly from iPhoto. It's frustrating me as well!
In the Finder, if you have multiple raw images selected and right-click and select Open With Adobe Photoshop Elements, it will open in ACR with all the image preview to the left. You can then select one, some, or all of them and apply the same settings.
In iPhoto though if you select multiple raw images and right-click and select Edit in external editor, the images will open one at a time.
ACR does let you change how it processes each new file. If you select Previous Conversion, once you process the first one, you can use the same processing on the next images.
Another way around this is in iPhoto, right-click and select Show File. This will open the Finder and you can then select multiple images and precess them all at once. This really isn't a very good solution though because it adds another step and you have to find the images agan.
Hope this helps and if anybody else knows how to do it from iPhoto, that would be wonderful!

  • Image Quality Processing Multiple Images

    When I first installed PSE, I could process multiple images and have the new image auto saved
    at the same image quality of the original. Now it changes to a value of
    "3" ...and I can't figure out how to predefine it to a higher quality

    I get in "Full" edit mode, then click File / Process Multple FIles.
    Then I select my source folder and my destination folder ...next I select one or several of the "Quick Fix" options ...usually just Auto Contrast.
    Finally I click "OK"
    The last few times, the new "processed" file is saved at ~400-500 KB ...instead of the original 3-4 MB.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Process Multiple Images gives Error.

    When trying to process multiple pictures in the editor (saving them to a new folder for including them in my blog) it processes one picture and then gives me an error message box with “Could not complete your request because of a program error”. I then click on OK in the error box and try it again, same message after processing one more picture. This continues until the last picture is processed. This is not the way it is sappose to work.
    I also get this message when trying to process multiple pictures in the raw editor when I go to open them by clicking on Select All and then clicking on OPEN IMAGES. After clicking on OK in the error message box the editor opens but none of the pictures I want to edit are loaded. Yet if I go back to Organizer the pictures I selected for edit are marked as locked edit in progress. I have to end the editor to unlock the pictures.
    oh and my version of PSE12 is:
    Version 12.0 (20130903.r.43239)
    Running on HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium with all current updates applied.
    I have also turned off all Media Analysis.

    Frank,
    If you are trying to change the aspect ratio to the desired output format,
    you still have to discard some portion(s) of your image. Many digital
    cameras shoot in a 4:3 aspect ratio. If you want 6 x 4 prints, you will
    have to crop to that ratio. In a simple case, the entire width can be used,
    but the height will be excessive by about 11%. Now, the entire 11% can be
    cropped out of the top or the bottom. Or it can be taken from both top and
    bottom in any kind of proportion. Again, each image should be individually
    evaluated and the crop area should be manually defined, based on the content
    of the photo.

  • Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?

    Hi,
    I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
    I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
    But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
    Regards,
    /Mikael Lindgren

    Or you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.

  • 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?

  • Process multiple images... How do you CROP them?

    I'm trying to process a bunch of photos. The first thing I need to do is crop them to a certain size. But in the Process Mulitiple Files dialog box, the only option I see is to resize - not crop - them. So I'm ending up with squished photos instead of cropped ones.
    Does anyone know how to crop them using the multiple process?
    Thanks.

  • 32bit output from ACR when processing HDR images

    As said above, why does ACR not support 32bit output for HDR images that are processed in it?
    I read this discussion too, but since the situation changed now, it would be nice to have 32 bit output from ACR.
    Is there still anything that speaks against it?

    The way in which I manage this is to batch-convert a series of progressive exposures in ACR 7.1;
    Select all of those files in Bridge and use Tools/Photoshop/Merge to HDR Pro and
    Save as 32-bit.tif (floating);
    Then open that Tiff in ACR 7.1 to refine the editing (making full use of the Adjustment Brushes);
    Finally, I open the file directly from ACR into Photoshop CS6 as a ProPhoto RGB 16-bit Smart Object and finish the image.
    This works beautifully and produces very smooth and wide DR images without those horrendous HDR grunge haloes.
    While you could do part of this in LR 4.1 if you wished, you do need Photoshop CS6 for some of the steps.

  • How to process multiple images and each image has multipl links dynamically

    I saw this web site
    http://escience.invitrogen.com/ipath/iPath.jsp?cn=united+states&mapid=479&highlightGene=ADAM10
    when the small icons in the left map is clicked, the corresponding information of the icon display on the right. For one map, I know I could set up static URL for each gene name. But there are hundards of images, is there a way to dynamically process all the images instead hard code hundards of pages?
    Many thanks!

    The map is generated using Macromedia Flash. (I could tell because when I right-clicked on it I got a context menu including "About Macromedia Flash Player 8".) That's a programming language you could learn if you liked, but it has nothing to do with JSP.

  • Process Multiple Files in PSE 7

    I'm running PSE7.
    I'd like to take a group of images (jpeg's) and do the following to them:
    Run QuickFix on them.
    Save them as a new file with the name based on the original name plus some extra information.
    Resize the jpeg's to a size suitable for the web. Or possibly a little larger.
    It would really be great if:
    I could use a 'tag' to select the images I want to process.
    The tags on the new images are the same as the originals.
    The new files are written into the same folder as the original. Even if multiple folders are needed due to
    the tags bringing in images from multiple folders.
    The new images would become part of a version set or stack along with the originals.
    Well, that's what's I'm interested in doing.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciatted!

    The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug‑in module that supports actions.)
    When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
    Note: The Process Multiple Files command does not work on multiple page files.
    Choose File > Process Multiple Files.
    Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop‑up menu:
    Folder
    Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Browse to locate and select the folder.
    Import
    Processes images from a digital camera or scanner.
    Opened Files
    Processes all open files.
    Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder.
    For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
    If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files:
    For Rename Files, select elements from the pop‑up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. The fields let you change the order and formatting of the components of the filename. You must include at least one field that is unique for every file (for example, filename, serial number, or serial letter) to prevent files from overwriting each other. Starting Serial Number specifies the starting number for any serial number fields. If you select Serial Letter from the pop-up menu, serial letter fields always start with the letter “A” for the first file.
    For Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX® to make filenames compatible with the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems.
    Under Image Size, select Resize Images if you want each processed file resized to a uniform size. Then type in a width and height for the photos, and choose an option from the Resolution menu. Select Constrain Proportions to keep the width and height proportional.
    To apply an automatic adjustment to the images, select an option from the Quick Fix panel.
    To attach a label to the images, choose an option from the Labels menu, then customize the text, text position, font, size, opacity, and color. (To change the text color, click the color swatch and choose a new color from the Color Picker.)
    Select Log Errors That Result From Processing Files to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, open with a text editor after the Batch command has run.
    Click OK to process and save the files.

  • 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?

  • How can I re-size multiple images in PSE11 ?

    I have used PSE10 to re-size multiple images by selecting the 'Process Multiple Images' option from the drop-down menu undeneath 'File'.
    I have just migrated to PSE11 and this option is not available - it is greyed out and cannot be selected.
    Anyone got any suggestions ? Thanks.

    In PSE 11 you must be in Expert mode (the equivalent of Full Edit in previous versions). Click the word Expert at the top of your screen and it should be available.

  • Cannot select multiple images in iPhoto '08?

    What am I doing wrong? I want to select multiple images to either print several on a page, or publish to a gallery, but for the life of me I cannot find a view which shows me all photo thumbnails or all thumbnails in an album or all in an event. I can spin the mousewheel to singly go through them, or I can hit edit and go to full screen where I get a thumbnail bar and can select multiples and view them at the same time, but printing or publishing this selection only recognizes the first photo as selected. If I try to select View>Thumbnails, the subsequent menu options are grayed out, and the top one is "hide" even though I see no thumbnail bar. Is there something very obvious I'm missing, or has something gone awry and I should reinstall?
    <Edited by Host>
    Any one can help them?
    Thanks

    There's a slider down right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.

  • In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

    why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
    the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
    at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
    APPLE HELP!

    I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
    Save to the Camera Roll
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
    Tap Camera Roll.
    Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

  • Applying settings preset to multiple images in ACR v4.3

    When attempting to apply a preset to multiple images in ACR, the preset is only applied to the "current" or "active" image. The other images in the thumbnail pane remain unchanged, even though they are selected. This function works correctly in Bridge, but not in ACR. "Synchronizing" the files does not do the same thing, as my preset incorporates "Apply auto tone adjustments." What am I missing?

    Pardon my misunderstanding of the question. I just tried it, and the method of selecting the images has no impact (e.g., the "select all" button, or hold "shift" or "ctrl" and click on multiple images...)
    All the boxes are checked in the "synchronize" dialog. However, this synchronizes all of the settings to the "active image," which ties the tone adjustments to that image, which is undesirable. I just want to automatically adjust the tones (as part of my preset) to all of the selected images.
    Based upon input from this tread, this is the refined procedure I use to "check" if it's working (which hasn't for me so far):
    1) Select multiple images (or all, if you prefer)
    2) Apply "camera raw defaults" Note that the settings default to Blacks: +5, Brightness: +50, Contrast: +25
    3) Apply a saved preset (saved with the check box "Apply auto tone adjustments" checked).
    4) Note that the Blacks, Brightness, and Contrast sliders only "adjust" for the "active" image, but don't change for the other selections. They remain at Blacks: +5, Brightness: +50, Contrast: +25
    Again, if I perform this procedure in Bridge, it works for all selected images. However, in ACR, it functions as described above.
    Does that clear it up?
    Thanks for the prompt responses so far. I hope I'm simply doing something incorrectly!

  • Multiple images iPhoto 9.6 how make

    Using macbook air with iPhoto 9.6 trying to make multiple images of same photo for passport.  How use contact?

    So, delete the one from the unwanted location.
    When you move data across volumes by default it is copied to the new location, afterwards you delete it from the previous location. It's a sensible protection against dataloss of anything goes wrong with the copy.
