Autocrop multiple images in scans
Hi
I am receiving a bunch of raw scans and the first thing I need to to with it is cropping them into individual images. We are talking hundreds of photos, with 6+ images on each raw scan. Doing it manually takes time and might not be 100% accurate. One should think some kind of software was made able to do this automatically (PS plugins?), if anyone have any clue please let me know!
To avoid all confusion I made a quick illustration of what functionality is needed:
I suspect I *might* have to resort to something other than Adobe * - but in desperation I am trying this forum anyway..! It would be GREAT to be able to just do this repetetive work in one batch.
Thanks for any input on the approach to this
As a follow up, to automate the whole process, I found a script that processes entire folders and outputs crops in a sub-folder. Incredibly useful for my project. In case anyone want to know here is how to batch process:
1.
Copy the script in this thread (I used the jpeg one):
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3430842
and save it out as a .jsx, load it into photoshop from file->scripts->browse
2.
Follow instructions and let it process.
Credits to Robdogg and Paul Riggot (as with "all" scripts it seems) for the work, thanks a bunch!

Best way to scan multiple images
Hi there,
I am new tp Photoshop and have a project already that I want to do with Ps, but am unsure of the best way to go abut ahceivng what I want...
I want to scan all my older photo's, crop & straighten them for later use in a slide project done in Permiere Pro.
I was wondering how best to scan them in, do I scan 1 at a time, deal with that then onto the next? or is it beter to scan several of them in one and amd crop each one out of the scan?
The problem I can see with scaning multiple at once, is getting to optimum settings for each image (mix colour and B&W).
Time is not a huge issue, although I can imagine that once I start, I will wan to get it done, but I would prefer to take time for quality results, but is it ideal to scan multibple & if so, would the qulaity be worse doing it in multiple?
Cheers
RosscoPhotoshop has a crop and straighen feature, which will divide up multiple images when more than one image is scanned at once. After the images are divided up, then you can use photoshop tools to adjust the color, remove dust, etc. I find using the levels command seams to work just fine for quick color correction. But if you have the chance to use camera raw that would be a better choice since most of your tools are in a single dialog box. Both camera raw and the levels adjustment layer are non-destructive, which means you can change your mind at a latter date.

Scanning (Into JPEG) of Plain Paper with few graphics results into multiple images on HP 3545
Scanning (Into JPEG) of Plain Paper with few graphics results into multiple images.
Whenever I scan a page which is almost a white paper, but has some graphics on it, then the Scanned Files is not a single, rather it becomes in multiple parts e.g. circle in one jpeg file, square in another jpeg file. However the scanning to PDF works fine. Please let me know if this is manufacturing defect or defect in the product I purchased.This only happens if I scan plain paper with few graphics. But scan to jpeg is working fine if the page has multiple objects

Can you edit multiple images from a PDF in photoshop?
I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in greyscale, but my scanner produces better results set to color. As such, I have to convert the images to greyscale in Photoshop from Acrobat. I have several PS actions that make this process easier, but I wish there was a way to select multiple images from a page or PDF file and run the actions on them (a batch) instead of one at a time. Is there? Or perhaps another method than what I am doing?
I recommend that you scan first, save as TIFF, do any desired correction, and only then make PDFs. Scanning direct to PDFs is great for simple uncomplicated workflows, but a liability when correction is needed.

Save adjustments to repeat on multiple images?
Is there a way to save a set of adjustments to repeat on multiple images? I often scan older slides, and often an entire roll suffers from the same set of lighting color temperature imbalances, faded saturations, sharpening needs, etc. Having to go through each set of adjustments - color, saturation, sharpening, levels, etc - over and over again - is a pain. Not to mention if you want all images to have identical post-processing "looks" you need to manually write down the various adjustment levels to get them the same over and over.
Can Elements 12 do this? I have been using Elements 10 for a while, to tell the truth I updated to 12 "just because" to keep current. I was kind of hoping they'd have implemented a way to save adjustments by now, but maybe not?
Todd
P.S. I am SO tired of software companies completely reshuffling their interface from version to version "just because".... So far I"m hating elements 12 - nothing appears to have been changed for any functional reason, all to just "look different". Yay. That's what I care about, how the interface looks - not how it WORKS....John101,
welcome to the Discussion forums.
The Image Adjustment feature works for me on both image placeholders and dragged-in images. Did you "mark" the image, so that small squares appear around it?
Regarding your second question: the problems are solved in 10.4.4 (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1496754�), so you might consider an upgrade. -
How do I stop iWeb outputting multiple image files? It makes my site slow!
I'm a professional web designer (but don't let that put you off) who uses Dreamweaver and also handcodes HTML & CSS websites at work on a PC, but having got a new Mac for home use I thought I'd give iWeb a go for a personal site hosted on .Mac, showcasing my music and film efforts, that I didn't want to have to think about coding.
I've built a short little site using the attractive 'Travel' theme, just 5 or 6 pages so far, and have not yet added any multimedia content. However, it seemed to take ages to upload it when I published it to .Mac. So then I went to view it, and it was soooo sloooow to download each page, even on my 4mb cable connection. I know it's a fairly graphically-rich theme, but still!
I noticed that it was redrawing the navigation menu each time... and upon close inspection of the HTML code using Safari's 'View Source' to my horror I found out that that each page has a seperate '_files' folder that contains multiple versions of files that are also used in other pages - including navigation buttons and background images. I also saw that every element has styling applied to it 'inline' in the code, rather than in a single seperate style-sheet.
To confirm this I published it to a folder on my hard drive and checked it all out. What a mess!
As a WYSIWYG web page editor iWeb is great but it's an undisputable fact that the HTML markup and CSS code it produces is absolutely appaling. What's worse though is that it also renders whole swaithes of text as images and that it does create seperate folders for each pages content including images, CSS code and navigation buttons - so even though the same images and code are used throughout the site for the background and buttons and layout, they are written out as seperate files and have to be reloaded with every page!!!
This means that the .Mac server must be getting hammered and webpages are very slow to download and slow to render in Safari - it's almost like dialup when I'm viewing my iWebsite, and like I said, I've got a 4mb cable connection!
Looking at the code iWeb produces, it is good to see that tables are not used for layout, and that's one thing in its favour. But surely the whole point of providing 'themed' templates for users is that the same content is used across the site and therefore doesn't need to be created multiple times - one of the benefits of using CSS stylesheets. Why doesn't iWeb create a single stylesheet and make efficient use of repeated images instead of creating multiple instances of the same file for each page?
Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I've missed. If so, let me know someone!
It is a great WYSIWYG editor, but behind the scenes it's not efficient, it's not clean and simple and it's certainly not attractive - and I'm surprised at that coming from Apple! I know iWeb is a great tool for beginners and I'm a picky professional, but if I was Joe Public First Time Web Designer I'd be very annoyed by this.
Clean it up and sort it out Mr Jobs!
PS: Also, where does iWeb store the website whilst it's in production? I can't find it anywhere?Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

Is there a way to add multiple images at the same time to Keynote 6.0?
I just brought keynote after searching online about adding multiple images to a presentation all in one go - I couldn't do this on the powerpoint version I was using but there were multiple references on google to being able to do this on keynote. I purchased it and now can't get it to work! Any ideas anyone? Thanks
Do you mean like dragging in multiple images and having one image go on each slide? If so, you just drag the images into the Slide List on the left instead of onto the slide. From this prior post.

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

File associations in Bridge CS4 for multiple images
After a "cache purge" my file associations got altered. I can go into Edit>preferences> file associations and change that to photoshop; but if I click MULTIPLE images in Bridge and right click "open with" I only get Illustrator as an option. How can I change this to photoshop as a default when trying to open MULTIPLE images?
Ronald Keller - thank you. I am practically in tears laughing about how something so completely simple has had me fretting for days. Could it be my over 60 mind has completely failed me now, or is it I am just a bit rusty on using my software? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to offer up this response!

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename
Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

Message was edited by: djtun71 (16/11/09)When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences? -
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. -

Problem in Loading Multiple image in Single Sprite/MovieClip
Hi All,
I am having a killing problem in loading multiple images in single movie clip/sprite using a separate class.
Here is the ImageLoader.as class
package com.project.utils{
import com.project.*;
import com.project.utils.*;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
public class ImageLoader extends EventDispatcher {
public var imgloader:Loader;
public var imgMc:MovieClip;
public var imgObject:Object;
public var loaded:Number;
public function ImageLoader():void {
imgMc = new MovieClip();
imgObject = new Object();
imgloader = new Loader();
public function loadImage(imgHolder:MovieClip, imgObj:Object):void {
imgMc = new MovieClip();
imgObject = new Object();
imgloader = new Loader();
imgMc = imgHolder;
imgObject = imgObj;
imgloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onImgLoad);
imgloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onImgLoadProgress);
imgloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onImageLoadFailed);
imgloader.load(new URLRequest(imgObj.FilePath));
private function onImgLoad(Evt:Event):void {
var image:Bitmap = Bitmap(Evt.target.content);
try {
imgMc.removeChildAt(0);
} catch (error:Error) {
imgMc.addChild(image);
try {
if (imgObject.URL != undefined) {
imgMc.buttonMode = true;
imgMc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onImageClicked);
imgMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onImageClicked);
} catch (err:Error) {
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD"));
private function onImageClicked(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Image Attrs:"+imgObject.URL +" Target "+imgObject.Target);
private function onImgLoadProgress(Evt:ProgressEvent):void {
if (Evt.bytesLoaded>0) {
loaded = Math.floor((Evt.bytesLoaded*100)/Evt.bytesTotal);
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_PROC",loaded));
private function onImageLoadFailed(Evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("Image Loading Failed");
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_FAIL"));
Here I am loading some images using the above class in a for loop, like
for (var i=0; i < 3; i++) {
//imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
imgLoader.addEventListener("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD",onImageLoad);
var target:MovieClip=videolist_mc["list" + mcCount + "_mc"];
target.list_mc.visible=false;
var imgObj:Object=new Object;
imgObj.FilePath=list[i].Thumbnail;
imgObj.Url=list[i].Url;
imgObj.Target=list[i].Target;
target.list_mc.urlObj=new Object ;
target.list_mc.urlObj=imgObj;
imgLoader.loadImage(target.list_mc.imgholder_mc,imgObj);
target.list_mc.lable_txt.htmlText="<b>" + list[i].Label + "</b>";
target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.buttonMode=true;
target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onItemPressed);
mcCount++;
In this case, the ImageLoader.as works only on the last movie clip from the for loop. For example, if i am trying to load three image in three movie clips namely img_mc1,img_mc2 and img_mc3 using the for loop and ImageLoader.as, I am getting the image loaded in the third movie clip only img_mc.
See at the same time, If i uncomment onething in the for loop that is
//imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
its working like a charm. But I know creating class objects in a for loop is not a good idea and also its causes some other problems in my application.
So, help to get rid out of this problem.
Thanks

Multiple images of the same file on one page
How do I create multiple images of the same file on one page? For example, I've got an image that I could fit 6 of on one page, and would like to print it that way instead of printing it on 6 individual pieces of paper.
Are you attempting to do this in Adobe Workspaces? Or are you looking for software that will do it?
If the former, you could insert the image into a Buzzword document six times. Not exactly elegant, but it might do the trick.
