Batch Append XMP to TIFFs

Is there a script or batch command I may be missing that will Append the IPTC info to processed TIFFS from XMPs of the same name (in another directory) in witch the XMP info was created by entering IPTC info for RAW files in Bridge?.
As it stands now I have to manually do this one by one using "File Info" if the RAW file was converted with another converter other than Camera RAW or I want to update the metadata (catalog) after the fact because of a time crunch.

This is not what I am trying to do Bob. Each photo will have different descriptive information and each photo will at this point have a RAW and a converted tiff. I know how to make Templates.
In other words I would like to be able to apply the unique descriptive information to the XMP files associated with the RAWs for each photo and later apply them as a batch to the TIFFs.
The way I am doing it now is to create a "Find Results" pane in Bridge. I then highlight the RAW and TIFF which will be together side by side in the "Results Pane" and apply my IPTC edits to the two files together as a set. The problem with this method is that it really slows down Bridge to a grind. Updating the XMP sidecar files of the individual RAWs first and then being able to Append the updated information to the TIFF in a batch would be much more efficient.

Using Aperture to batch convert images from tiff to jpeg

Hi there
My first question - here goes:
I wish to batch convert several thousand tiffs (of various sizes) to a standardised jpeg (A4 @ 300dpi). I'm looking for software to automate this process as much as possible; ideally, it would search designated folders and place the new jpegs in a (matching) new folder structure.
Would Aperture be suitable for this, or should I consider Adobe Lightroom (or other)?
Many thanks
BR

No filters.
Solution I used was to create new project. Copy images to it. Delete old project.
Aperture would not let me copy images from old albums to old project.

How batch append cost center group to standard hierarchy by batch

Hi Guys,
Would you please tell how me how append cost center groups to standard hierarchy by batch, every time I have to do it one by one, is there a convenient way? thanks.
Best Regards
FS

Hi,
You can create any number of cost center groups as per your requirement.
But one thing is crucial. If you crin your eate the groups using the T Code:OKEON. those will effect to the standard hierarchy.
Cost centers created wil KSH1 will not effect to standard Hierarchy.
Main point here is the main hierarchy should be maintained in OKEON. Later you can add any number of groups to that. LSMW will work, before that Hirarchy Area(Cost center group) should be maintained in the system for effective work of LSMW.

Batch append a single keyword

We enter keywords using Photo Mechanic when ingesting, but would like to add one to files processed from raw using the batch utility or a script.
In File Info you can append a keyword, but if you record this step for an action it translates as set keyword to "x". Therefore it removes all the other keywords.
Can anyone help or point me to a script that can be ran from within the batch?
many thanks

I don't think it can be done, well not in Photoshop CS4 maybe with CS4 as that has access to the metadata. If you need to have it working for both CS3 and CS4 you would need to have Bridge open so that the keyword list could be fetched.
You can add keywords using templates but append only works in CS4 but then it does not work via an action.
Options use a script just for CS4 or have bridge running and use script that should work on both.
Anyway I'm sure someone will come up with a solution.
Here is a script that I've just tested on CS3 that will append a keyword. Change MyNewKey var to suit.

Batch processing PDF to TIFF

Hello,
I have about 1000 drawings in PDF format that I need to convert to B/W TIFF files. I thought I could easily do this in Photoshop (CS3) and then I hit a snag. In the Open form for the PDF there is a field to enter for the filename (I think that's because of multisheet PDFs). In my case all the PDFs have been reduced to single sheets, so I want the name to be that of the PDF file. Creating an action captures the "name", but this conflicts with the options when running in batch mode. I either have the same name from the action, or no name (or the same name) from batch options. Anyone know how to get around the naming options? Or do this a different way?
Thanks.

Try the following it should produce a folder full of 300dpi Grayscale tiff based on your pdfs
var pdfOpenOptions = new PDFOpenOptions
pdfOpenOptions.antiAlias = true
pdfOpenOptions.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX
pdfOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.GRAYSCALE
pdfOpenOptions.resolution = 300
pdfOpenOptions.suppressWarnings=true
#target Photoshop
app.bringToFront;
var inFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select folder to process");
if(inFolder != null){
var fileList = inFolder.getFiles(/\.(pdf)$/i);
var outfolder = new Folder(decodeURI(inFolder) + "/Edited");
if (outfolder.exists == false) outfolder.create();
for(var a = 0 ;a < fileList.length; a++){
if(fileList[a] instanceof File){
var doc= open(fileList[a],pdfOpenOptions);
var docname = fileList[a].name.slice(0,-4);
while(app.documents.length){
var saveFile = new File(decodeURI(outfolder) + "/" + docname + ".tif");
SaveTiff(saveFile);
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES) ;
function SaveTiff(saveFile)
tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false;

Batch Import .XMP info into DNG Files

I have a few thousand Canon 5D RAW files that have accompanying XMP files created by PS CS2 containing of a lot of metadata that I manually typed in for each photo.
Because of some better ICC profile features in DXO Optics Pro 4.x, I want to batch process my Canon 5D raw files (with XMP EXIF data) by DXO Pro into DNG. My problem is how to batch incorporate the XMP data into the resulting DNG file. It doesn't appear
I found a way I can manually import the data in CS3 for a single photo. However, that's no good for 3000 photos.
Does anyone have a simple batch method that will do what I want? The XMP files are all named the same as the RAW files, so matching up the files is a piece of cake.
Could I create an action that would somehow open the new DXO generated DNG file, and import the XMP file using some type of filename matching process?

Why not simply run the DNG Converter on that folder? It will merge the XMP sidecars into the resultant DNG files.

Help creating batch action, save as tiff

I'm not *getting* it, and have been trying for a couple hours. Please, what am I missing???
Steps I've done;
Created a set called rit sq color balance
Created an action called color balance
Created an action called save and close, Saving as TIFF, Close
Should I not be able to run this sequence of adjusting the color, saving into the destination file as a tiff?
Each action works separately, but not together.

You need to add (just drag it like you might a layer) the save step of save and close action into the color balance action, making that action a two-step action (color balance, then save). Then your batch setup will run.
If you check the "override action save as" (which you've done), you should see the warning below. Since there are no save steps in your color balance action (right now they reside in the save and close action), no files are saved. If you don't see this warning, you might consider resetting all the warning dialogues in the general areas of the prefs.
This would all be less confusing if you actions weren't named the steps they call...

Audition 5.0 - Batch append possible?

Hi everyone,
Here is my scenario:
I have an audio template for a telephone prompt: "thank you for calling [name of buisness]. Please press one to be connected."
I have thousands of recorded business names that need to be appended into the [name of business] part of that script above. Rather tedious and time consuming to do by hand.
My question: Is it possible to use a script / batch process to append the business name files into the prompt audio? Or any method that would help me automate part of this process?
Thanks very much for your help.
-Nicolas

I don't think that there's an easy way to do this in Audition, but there is at least one bit of software that's supposed to be able to do it - magic-audio-joiner. I'll certainly have a look at what's currently possible to see if anything has changed, but I don't think that anything has; in the past the batch processor has only ever been capable of running multiple files through an Audition process, or doing a format conversion to them, and has never supported an open-append process, which is what it would have to do.

EXIF: and TIFF: metadata is missing from XMP block in Lightroom 4

I've recently purchased Lightroom 4 and on the whole I'm very happy with it, but I have run into a problem. I have a few scripts which grab information from the XML-based XMP metadata block that's embedded in the DNG and JPG files that I use. I've found that images processed with Lightroom 4 no longer export the exif: and tiff: data.
To illustrate, a photo I exported with a previous version of Lightroom has the following data in the XMP block
   tiff:Make="Canon"
   tiff:Model="Canon EOS 40D"
   tiff:ImageWidth="850"
   tiff:ImageLength="567"
   tiff:XResolution="240/1"
   tiff:YResolution="240/1"
   tiff:ResolutionUnit="2"
   exif:ExifVersion="0221"
   exif:ExposureTime="1/800"
   exif:ShutterSpeedValue="9643856/1000000"
   exif:FNumber="71/10"
   exif:ApertureValue="5655638/1000000"
   exif:ExposureProgram="3"
   exif:DateTimeOriginal="2010-08-22T10:52:07.58+01:00"
   exif:DateTimeDigitized="2010-08-22T10:52:07.58+01:00"
   exif:ExposureBiasValue="0/1"
   exif:MaxApertureValue="4625/1000"
   exif:SubjectDistance="428/100"
   exif:MeteringMode="5"
   exif:FocalLength="80/1"
   exif:CustomRendered="0"
   exif:ExposureMode="0"
   exif:WhiteBalance="0"
   exif:SceneCaptureType="0"
   exif:FocalPlaneXResolution="3888000/876"
   exif:FocalPlaneYResolution="2592000/583"
   exif:FocalPlaneResolutionUnit="2"
   exif:PixelXDimension="850"
   exif:PixelYDimension="567"
There is, of course, a lot more information in the XMP block, but in a file exported using Lightroom 4 there is nothing in the XMP block with the exif: or tiff: namespaces so none of this information is available to any script which queries the XMP metadata. I'm pretty sure that the metadata is still there, embedded in the original EXIF data, as I can view it using the metadata panel in the Library module, but that's not accessible to my scripts as it's not in the XMP block. I've made doubly sure that the metadata has been saved and also double-checked all my settings and even tried to export the files multiple times with every different setting that I can think of (even though my current settings worked fine in previous versions) but the files never get the exif: or tiff: data.
I have called Adobe, but the best help they could give me so far was to post here and hope someone can help!

I just compared two JPEGs exported with LR 3.6 and LR 4.1RC. The tags you mentioned are exported neither by 4.1 nor by 3.6. These tags are only present in the normal Exif metadata, but not in XMP. Which version of LR 3.x did you use before? Perhaps Adobe changed something already in the later versions of LR 3.x. If this is the case, you have to use a script or tool that is able to read the Exif metadata directly.
In the XMP metadata in the file exported by LR 3.6, I see only crs (camera raw), aux (e.g. serial no.) and some other XMP namespaces, but no exif or tiff.
P.S. I viewed the metadata of the exported files with exiftool. File format was JPEG (with "quality" setting, not with "limit file size", because apparently there are still some XMP differences between these two modes).

Acrobat 9 Standard batch processing

Does Acrobat 9 Standard support batch processing of multipage tiffs? (I want them to have the OCR ability.) I read that you can do it in Acrobat 7 and 8 Pro.

Thank you.

TIFF & JPEG renders of RAW files appear different when viewed in Bridge

I am working with the demo of Photoshop CS6, with ACR 7.1. CS6 System Info will appear at the bottom of this post. Summary: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T, 16GB RAM, Win7-64bit, nVidia GTX 460 video w/1GB RAM, approx. 2.5 TB free space on multiple internal physical drives, Canon 50D, CR2 files. I have a camera profile generated through Profile Editor, and the monitor is calibrated with i-1 Match.
I have been practicing with the new Basic Panel controls (Process 2012). When I felt that I was getting the hang of them I started saving JPEG and TIFF files and noticed differences between what appears in Bridge and ACR. I worked on this for some time and searched out some other discussions in the Forum which seemed to talk about similar results. I have now tried Image Processor via Bridge, Save Image in ACR, and Open>Save manually in PS CS6. By whatever route, the TIFFs and JPEGs are different (lighter in the following examples, but this is not always the case), while PSD saves seem to be close, but not identical to the CR2 when viewed in Bridge or Photoshop. Here is a screen capture of Bridge thumbnails which show the differences.
I hope the labels come through legibly. The two images on the second row are CR2 and PSD respectively. What is really odd to me is that when I resaved the PSD file as a TIFF, the same sort of difference shows up in the TIFF. (See _MG_7960_via_PSD.tif above.) I have uploaded the CR2, its XMP, a TIFF and a JPEG on Sendspace (107 MB). I did this earlier in my experiments and regret that the file naming is not as informative as might be.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/t0lhko
I have run a few other ACR adjusted CR2 images through Image Processor and seen a variety of differences between the rendered files and the RAW versions. The differences seem to be in Exposure and Contrast. Most of these looked somewhat darker, unlike the examples above.
I will happily provide any other information on request. Thanks!

Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
Thanks again,
Kieren
EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
Many thanks!

Bridge Image Processor TIFF format

I use Bridge's Image Processor to batch JPEG images to TIFFs before Photoshopping them, but I've noticed that it saves TIFFs with Mac byte order by default.
This isn't usually a problem, but many of these images will move to another department in my organisation for inclusion in eBooks and other digital publications, and the Mac byte order causes issues for them and their production processes, necessitating a batch process back to IBM PC order.
Is there anyway to change the default Image Processor format to IBM PC byte order?

That's what I thought, but the script doesn't have those parameters, so it would probably be a matter of delving deeper than the Image Processor functionality.
I can make batch that would do it, rather than Image Processor, but it would be nice to have this feature built-in.
I'll see what the PS forum has to say.
Cheers.

Bridge CC default TIFF format

Hi. I originally posted this under CC, but it was suggested this forum would be more suitable.
I use Image Processor to batch convert JPEGs to TIFFs before further work. I'm on Mac, and the default TIFF format uses Mac byte order. However, other departments at my place of work require IBM PC byter order for TIFFs.
Is there any way to change Bridge / Photoshop Image Processor default to IBM PC byte order for batch operations. I can obviously use a Photoshop Action and Batch it, but Image Processor is a little more straightforward and simple, and would be the ideal method.
K@

Image Processor Pro (available at http://russellbrown.com/scripts.html) does everything Image Processor does and a lot more, including specifying byte order for TIFFs.

Best Workflow for TIFF Sequences

Hi There,
I have my ideas but I would like if anyone had an advice to give when working with TIFF Sequences
1) Which Sequence Preset should I use, or better yet which custom settings should I go with when creating the sequence for TIFF use...
If anyone working with PPRO and TIFF sequences has any great advice like what to 'watch out for' or whatever, I would be highly appreciative !
PS - I tried searching the PPRO CS5 forum but no matter what I enter in the search field, it always renders "No Results Found"
This is happening across all adobe's forums - perhaps the search engine has a BUG ===
I am using Safari on Snow Leopard !

I knew about the trick of dragging the media to the seq icon to have premiere pro create the 'right' sequence.
Just thought there might be some better settings for using tiff sequences...
Thanks though..
Regarding batch import of tiff sequences.
For the world of me, I cannot figure out why drag n dropping an image sequence to PPRO would spark the app to import all the tiffs as individual files, instead of setting the "Image Sequence" bit... if the folder contains 1200 tiffs.
Definitely A LOT of improvement that can be done "Image-Sequence-Wise" in PPro - especially when considering the PRO-name in the application name.
Workflow for image sequences is very un-pro in PPRO :-))))
Anyway, I am an AVID Quickeys user and I have programmed a Quickey-Script that will batch import the 100 tiff sequences that I have residing in 100 folders. I click one shortkey and Quickeys iterates through the 100 folders and half an hour later as I came back to the Mac - they had all been imported.
That beats having to manually import 100 times. Imagine I had had 700 clips - ALL - Tiff or other Image Sequences...
Anyway, quickeys is a VERY useful tool for repetitive tasks and saves me HOURS literally every day....
It is made by startly and is worth EVRY penny ! Works with OS X and Windows

Convert 16 bit tiff?

I am trying to recover disk space and have been using the DNG Converter to save 10-20 percent on my Canon cr2 files
I also have over 256 Gigs of 16 bit tiff files that I have outputted over the years from the HDR program Photomatix Pro,
When I originally saved them I saved them at a bit depth of 16 so I would have more to work with for the final editing.
So, on average the tiff files are each about 100 megs, I am guessing that as a DNG , it would shrink that by about 75%
DNG converter doesnt like the 16 bit tiffs and skips them.
Is there another piece of software that can convert 16 bit tiffs to DNG
OR
Is there another piece of software that can batch convert 16 bit tiffs to 8 bit so I can dump then them into the DNG converter without having to do each file one by one.
Thanks
Todd McIntosh

I have not used it before to convert 8-bit Tiffs.
I am only assuming it does so, because the program pulls the tiff files into the cue when you have them in the folder you are converting.
When the program goes to convert them (16 bit tiffs) it gives me a status of ...
"there was an error parsing the file"
Perhaps I am incorrect in assuming the results would be different with an 8 bit Tiff.
Hmmmm,
Todd
