ACR use of workdisk and scratchdisk when batch processing images

I am setting up a new PC optimized for PS, and I and pondering on the optimal disk setup for ACR when I batch process several images:
Alternative 1
2 physical disk in raid 0 with 2 partitions, partition 1 for scratch and the second for images to work on.
The question is if there ever will be a conflict in the sence that PS/ACR wants to access both scratch- and work partitions at the same time? If this should occure, I guess the following is a better setup??:
Alternative 2
1 physical disk for scratch
1 physical disk for images to work on
Christopher

Thank you Ramón,
I am not limited to 2 drives. I am planning on having OS and programs on a third separate disk.
The point of using alternative 1 would be to use RAID 0 to obtain faster read/write (both for scratch and for reading and saving images on the work partition. However, if scratch usage competes with read/write to the work partition, I'm probably better off with alternative 2. If I work on one image this is simple, however I frequently batch process several RAW images. How does ACR/PS handle this? If all the images initially are read from the work partition and loaded into RAM + scratch and processed there, there will be no competition between the two partitions and I will benefit from the RAID solution. However, if the images are read one or just a few at a time, processed in RAM/scratch and then saved to the work partition, I imagine scratch and work partition could be competing for the the disks read/write head when finished images are being saved and ACR is "waiting" for more images to process??

There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone. Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON. Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there. Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

I'm on a Macbook Pro and all of my software is up-to-date.
The photos and events, etc. appear to be present in my photo library, but I cannot see the actual images--only an outlined placeholder.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take 3 or 4 goes to work.

Good day!
What is "place" supposed to mean – open, place as Smart Object, …?
What are the image’s Color Mode and bit depth?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Does Window > Adjustments not raise the Adjustments Panel?

In Bridge CS6, the "Tools" tab is missing the "Photoshop" option to batch process image

Hello!
Does anyone know why in Bridge cs6 under the "Tools" tab, my "Photoshop" option is missing? That is how I have always batch processed images. In Bridge, I choose the images to process, go to the "Tools" tab, down to the "Photoshop" option then to "Image Processor" and process. Now when I go into my "Tools" tab it only has the options: Batch Rename, 4 kinds of Metadata related options and Cache. Can someone tell me why this has happened and how to fix it? Thank you!!!
Eric

Hello Omke,
This problem lasted for two days. I tried many suggestions but nothing worked immediately. Suddenly I turned my computer on last night and it was fixed...inexplicably. Not sure what worked but something did. I appreciate you taking the time to offer advice.
Best,
Eric

"Use Toolkit Package" and "Gather" - When do you have to run them?

Greetings,
I have inherited a huge task sequence (MDT 2012 integrated with SCCM 2012) that calls "Use Toolkit Package" and "Gather" many many times even though there are only a few reboots.
Is it true that the "Use Toolkit package" step (followed immediately by Gather) only need to be run right at the beginning of the TS and only after every reboot?
Is it also true that the "Gather" step on it's own only needs to be run when you have run another step which may alter/create a variable which is used in the rules? (i.e. customsettings.ini).
Thanks
David Z

Thanks.
My question was when exactly do you need to run the steps. I suspect that many people have task sequences with loads of "use toolkit package" and "gather" in places when they are NOT needed.
First let's look at the step "Use Toolkit Package". There is no reference to that task sequence step in the MDT documentation. Im aware that this simply copies the "deployment share" so all the scripts etc that are necessary for future task sequence steps
are available (In MDT only environments this was not necessary as the UNC path to the deployment share was always available - so this is an SCCM only step). Your reference states that it copies it to the local hard drive. This is not entirely true. I understand
that when Winpe is loaded, it is loaded into a ramdrive and therefore my "Use Toolkit package" step which is the first in the task sequence is loaded somewhere into the "RAM" drive (probably under "X" drive somewhere?).
So my assumption is that "Use toolkit package" must be run as the first task sequence step, then any time immediately after the winpe system is restarted. If, during winpe and before the OS is loaded onto the hard drive, you format the hard drive (which
is often the case), you do not need to run "Use Toolkit.." as it still exists in the RAM drive. When you apply the OS and restart, and then run "Use toolkit.." again, it must magically work out that it is to then load to the hard drive and not the RAM drive.
However, once the "deployment share" has been loaded to hard drive, Im assuming that you never need to run the "Use toolkit.." again even if the system restarts as once it is loaded to the hard drive, it remains there (assuming you dont format disks again
which is unlikely after the OS has loaded).
The answer to "when must you run Gather" is alot trickier. The first assumption is that Gather has to be run immediately after "Use toolkit..." as the system has initialised or restarted and none of the variables created by "gather" exist.
Im guessing that "gather" may need to be run when you suspect that something in the rules file has changed. For example, you may have run a task sequence step that sets variable "A" for the first time. Your rules file may generate another variable, "B",
based on variable "A" so "gather" must be run to evaluate "B".
However, once the OS has loaded and "gather" has been run, the variables.dat file is created and remains permanently on disk so that if the machine is restarted again, you dont have to run "gather" as all the variables persist in variables.dat.
All of the above is an educated guess as I have searched the web extensively and have not found a definitive explanation. I would be grateful if anything above could be confirmed/denied so this could remain as a definitive guide that may not help just
me, but others :-).
Thanks

Please Help, Issues when batch processing Multi Frame images in Fireworks

I hope someone will know how to do this and tell me where I am going wrong.
Objective 1
I have a large number of images that all have the exact same number of frames (4) and are all exactly the same size that I want to get resized, cropped and water marked (when I say 'watermarked I mean have my websites logo pasted in a specificlocation on each frame, I have my websites logo as a seperate .png file which I copy from).
Current Process
I create a command which will crop the image then paste my companys url/log onto the first frame, move it to the correct location on the frame then copy it again and then paste it onto each of the other frames, the command then resizes the image tot he exact proportions I want.
I start a batch process and use my command, making sure that I also export from the .png to animated gif (and I edit the settings to make it 256 animated gif).
Error 1
The process described above resizes and crops my images however it does NOT put the watermark in the correct place, it seems to put it int he right place on the first frame and then in a different place on all the followingn frames thus giving the effect of the watermark jumping around. Which is obviously NOT what I want.
Question 1
Please let me know what process I should be following to correct the Error 1 above.
Objective & Question 2
I want to do exactly the same thing as shown above but this time the files have a varying number of frames (from 2 to 45 frames (or instances as CS4 seems to call them)). Is there a way to paste my logo to the to the exact same location on ALL frames?
Other information
I have tried WHXY Paste extension and I can not see how to use that to solve the issue. I have also tried 'Paste in Place' however I can not see how to use the Paste In Place extension as it is not appering in my list of commands.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Andy

Andy, you could start a batch process which will do most of the things you are asking for. THe batch process can be done using Fireworks. The right way to start is going to Archivo / Procesar por Lotes and then follow all the different option this tool has to offer. Yes, I know I gave you the names in Spanish but that is the way I use Adobe Fireworks.
I hope this was usefull for you!

Exif information when batch processing

Hi,
When i do a batch process on some images the program adds extra information like: "Software used".
Can i switch this off? I'm not asking the program to edit my EXIF file, so it shouldn't.
Thanks already.

The "software" fields in the EXIF and XMP metadata are industry-defined fields that let you track which programs have been used to modify your images, in the same way that other fields let you track the camera or scanner and exposure information. Many image-manipulation programs set those fields.
There is no way to turn off the use of those fields in PSE, but you can use a third-party utility such as Exiftool or ExiftoolGUI to clear the fields on a batch of images.

Watermarks not showing on files when batch processed?

Hello,
I am using acrobat pro 9. I am looking to watermark upto 2000 files at work, I have researched and gone through all of the steps to set up a watermarking script for the batch function.
However once the process is complete, the correct files appear in the correct folder but are totally unchaged...the watermarkings are set to be veiwable on screen and when printed.
I can watermark and successfully save files if I do them one at a time, it just all goes out the window when I try to batch them.
I am batching 3D imaged pdf's if that makes any difference (doubt it would as they watermark the same as 2d)
used this link to help create the watermark
http://www.pdfzone.com/c/a/Document-Management/Add-Watermarks-to-PDFs-with-Batch-Processin g/
Can anyone think why I am having this trouble? Is there a simple option I am not selecting etc?
Thanks
Ali.

Ok here is how I have created the batch wateramark:
Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing
NEW sequence > input name (3D wateramark)
Select Commands: Add x2 'Add watermark'
This is how I set up the first watermark;
Then the second;
Now watermarks are in place ,select '3D watermark' and 'run sequence'
Edit the options....
The files are then selected > OK.
Loading bar appears, and the process appears to run.
Files then appear in the correct specified folder but are not watermarked.
Thanks.

How to use a custom script in a batch process?

I was recently told that I can Photomerge, crop and save 2 separate folders of images to a 3rd folder in a batch process if I created a custom Javascript. Are there any examples of how to integrate a custom script as an action in a batch process?

if you recieve an image from mms you can save the object to gallery and then select it as wallpaper
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Cropping not maintained from Bridge to PS when batch processing

This is the oddest thing, because it has never happened before. I am sending images that are cropped in Bridge to a Photoshop batch process (just image resize and sharpening), but they are showing up in the new folder un-cropped.
Anybody seen this before?

Perhaps the "then click [Done]" part is being omitted? It's easy to forget and click [Cancel], which will toss out the crop and any other settings changes.
Other possibilities:
If you've set Camera Raw to use SideCar XMP files to maintain the settings, make sure you're not moving just the raw files to some other location without the XMP files.
If you've set Camera Raw to use the central database, make sure you're opening the images on the same computer on which you set the crop, and also make sure you've given the Camera Raw database enough room to grow (I've found that the default 1 GB is not nearly enough).

Why is bridge cs4 skipping files when batch renaming images?

When batch renaming in bridge, I select all the files and then start with the first image to rename them. Over the last few months, it is randomly skipping images. It will also jump the number that image should have gotten, so typically we can manually go through and rename the file so it will line up properly.
Just wondering why this is happening all of the sudden when it worked perfectly for years!

Sorry Patrick, Did not see the previews before, only saw the thread via
email and they don't show the samples you provide.
After seeing those files it looks definitely like corrupted images. I cannot
imagine Bridge to cause this. Rereading your post, it more looks the result
of a bad functioning write/read process on the external HD or a bad USB
cable.
Assuming you have back up could you test this on either an other HD or a
DVD. Just copy the files again to those devices and retry. That would proof
the fault lies with the external HD.
Could you report back on that?
Thanks for your tips. I tried, BUT didnt solve my problem.

Batch processing images of various sizes

I'm trying to create 125 pixel square thumbnail images using a batch process and I'm having trouble getting it to work consistently with images that have different aspect ratios. I think I know why it's working the way it is, but I don't know how to work around the function. Here is what I'm doing that doesn't work when the image proportions change:
1. Resize image to 125 pixels high using the "constrain proportions" option.
2. Resize canvas to 125 pixels wide, thus cropping the sides to create the square image.
Then I have another process that does the same thing with images in portrait orientation. The problem is, I have some images that are 640x480, for example, and some that are 640x360. If I create the command using a 640x480 image, the 640x360 images are skewed when run through the batch because the "resize image" step is actually setting the dimensions of the image, rather than maintaining the proportions of that particular image. I thought about setting the canvas to a square first, but since not all my images are the same dimensions, I'm not sure how to account for that.
Anyone have any thoughts? I also have Photoshop, but as a novice, I've found Fireworks to be a little more intuitive for some of these basic commands, particularly batch processes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
Jeremy

It seems tricker than one might expect to create square thumbnails!
I'm a little confused by the results you're describing. When I try using Modify > Canvas > Canvas Size to crop a document, the result appears in the History panel as "Crop Document". If I select that step and choose "Copy Steps to Clipboard", then paste the results in a text file, I get something like this:
fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSize({left:16, top:0, right:141, bottom:125}, true);
This reveals that the canvas is being cropped according to a specific bounding rectangle that may or may not be a great fit for all the other images being processed (depending on their widths). For a more foolproof result, a rectangle like {left:0, top:0, right:125, bottom:125} would be a better choice; however, aesthetically, I'd personally prefer that images be cropped from the center, not the left side.
If I had something better to suggest here, I would. It might be worth checking out Photoshop to see if this type of operation is any easier.
