Automator query: I want to batch process with a program that doesn't offer batch processing.

After much searching and experimenting I'm resorting to asking the direct question to see if you good folks can help me.
I would like to be able to automate some image processing with the software "SketchMee". Unfortunately this is not something that the stand alone can do on it's own. I assume Otto can help me. I would like to essentially have a directory with "raw" (unprocessed) images. Have automator...
1. open file in SketchMee (SketchMee will automatically render with previous settings)
2. save new file in new directory
3. repeat 100's and/or 1000's of times.
Seems pretty straight forward but I'm having trouble making it happen.
Does anyone have any advice or info for me here?
Note: this is not a process that can be done in iPhoto, Photoshop or Graphics Convertor.

Way better, IMHO of course, is Photoshop Elements.  It is not free but you can find deals on it but if not it really isn't too expensive.  For the amateur or advanced amateur it is far better than DPP (free included software) and even Lightroom.
Lightroom is designed more for a person that takes 1000's and 10,000's of photos.  It has limited editing featuers.
PSE is also more user friendly that full blown Photoshop.  Which you can not purchase any longer as it must be rented from Abode on a monthly basis.
There is the free Gimpshop but it is the least user friendly of the bunch and has a steep learning curve.  But it is free.
Lightzone is a free copy-cat version of Lightroom.
But when you are ready for the best photo editing and RAW conversion software there is, there is nothing at the top except Photoshop.

  • I lost my iphone and I want to lock it with icloud is that possible

    I lost my iphone and I want to lock it with icloud is that possile

    It is possible if you activated Find My iPhone before  you lost the device and it is connected to an active internet connection. You can log into iCloud.com and send a lock/wipe request to the device. If it shows offline, then it will hold the request until the next time the device is online.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

    When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

    I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

    It mostly depends on the damage that was done (the LCD, keyboard, etc) but yours does not turn on so I am assuming it was fully submerged and completely damaged. Therefore, I would think your warranty is most definitely void.
    When did this happen? How bad was it? Have you taken any measures to get it to dry? You can go online and you can find tips on how to dry it at least a bit so that it is not as bad, it might not get it to work, but it can help you prevent rusting, which would cause further damage thus reducing the probability of getting repaired/replaced. Also, do not try to turn it on unless you have tried to dry it as it will damage it even more (electricity + water = destruction). I would suggest giving this a try, and if it is still not working then it is probably worth a try with Apple, just go in for a consultation in terms of pricing. If they seem too high and/or the warranty is void, then you can opt for after-market products which significantly reduce the repair costs... as you would have nothing to lose anyway in terms of warranty.
    It's $3,000, that pays my rent. Even investing $1,000 would be better than just not giving it a try at all lol.

  • Issues with a program,that exetutes SEM BPS sequence, into a Process Chain

    We have a process chain with a step which launches a program. That program executes a SEM BPS sequence. To set that request into green we have a step with other program which changes the planning cube to batch.
    Our two problems are:
    1) We cannot check in the process chain monitor if sequence finished all right because the step always finishes ok even if the sequence falls.
    2) Our SEM BPS sequence takes a long time and the process chain continues its execution without SEM BPS sequence is ended.
    Thanks a lot!
    Mario

    I am not sure if there is a solution to this in BW 3.x or SEM BPS. But if you can model the same planning sequence in BI-IP, then you can excute it in a process chain using a process chain variant.

  • Help regarding with a program that calculates change for a cashier.

    I am seeking help for a java script or program that can answer my problem:
    Write a program that calculates change for a cashier. The program requests the cost of the item. The user then types in the cost. The program then outputs the cost of the item including the sales tax (use 6% as the sales tax value). The program next request and recieves the amount tendered by the customer. Finally, the program outputs a summary of all figures, including the amount of change due to the customer. (change . java)
    change . java has the following attributes and methods:
    double costs; doublegetCosts ( ) void setCost (double x)
    double tax; doublegetTax ( ) void setTax (double x)
    double payment; doublegetPayment ( ) void setpayment (double x)
    *rite another program that will have an instance of change . java. Call the file as cashier.java
    *Public Cashier {
    public void static main (string27argc
    change x ;
    x = new change ( ) ;
    * cashier . java will use the attributes and methods stated on change java via the instance of change inside cashier.
    Please I have no idea for java, I am student who really needs help on this. If anyone knows how to do this please reply to this topic!
    Thank you

    the correct way to get help in forums like this is to post
    the specific problem you have, along with what you have tried
    and details of the output you expect Vs the output you get.
    simply posting the assignment makes it look like just another
    "do my homework for me" plea - even though it may not be.

    Hi ! 
    I have a pushasing flow with folowing key figur. But Im missing the invoice value but have the difference beetween them.
    _____________Invoice Quantiy  |  PO value (Good issue)  | Invoice value          |  PO vs Inv diff |

  • If i want to make money with this program and my knowledge of it what would be the best way to start doing work for others

    I have been doing lots of work on final cut and want to know how some of you maybe starded doing work for others to make $

    .. just to add my 5¢:
    There're several ways to moneytize your editing skills.
    ● freelance editor:
    Indeed, then first question of any client is "What apps do you handle?" I dare to say, depending in what area you live, those huge fabs searching for freelancers use very little FCPX; here, they're looking for Avid, GVproducts, maybe FC/pro...
    ● one-man-slaughter-houses aka Wedding-photographer
    If your skills are beyond editing-only, and you're an (excellent) DoP, for sure offering your 'products' is the obvious; Weddings, Bar Mizwahs, Funerals, Services, lectures, workshops, company image movies, demoes, exhibit videos... But, as other mentioned: nobody is intersted with what tools you create the film; only results count; in private products, lots of 'eye-candy' gives a happy bunny customer
    ● 'Yellow Pages': I'll make you a movie...
    I'm not doing that professional, but occasionally for money: people ask me, to grab a harddrive full of 'files' to create 'a nice movie', lately two 'flat' birthdays (30/40), tons of pics, shakey iPhone messages, music, dissolves, done. - nothing for living...
    ● Teaching?
    teach other your skills, have a look here http://training.apple.com/act
    Hurdle to go for all those: hen-egg-dillema
    People want to see your skills in advance; but without jobs, nothing to see yet.

  • I am trying to change the Apple ID on my old iPhone 5c but it wants a password for an old Apple ID with and email that doesn't exist anymore

    MMy old iPhone 5c is wanting a password for logging into my apple account. The problem is that the email address its tied to doesn't exist anymore. I changed the email to a different one. But can't figure out how to change the email address on the phone to the new email address.

    The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
    If you don't remember the password, start here:

    While I wait for apple to fix this issue, is there an easier fix to this than using Time Machine to restore to an earlier version?
