Batch developing from Bridge

How do I  batch develop my edited images that were open in Bridge and edited in CameraRAW? Normally I have to then open those images it PS only to save them as JPGs which feels like waste of time. Can this be done directly from Bridge?

Another option is to select the files in bridge and open them in camera raw.  Select All, then Save Images (button at bottom of camrra raw).

  • Why do dialogs open for javascript actions when started from a batch operation from bridge?

    I have a fairly simple script (written in javascript) that duplicates the current document and
    does some other manipulations.  I also have recorded an action that executes this script.
    When I run the action manually, everything works beautifully.  When I run the action via
    the batch command from bridge, every operation in the script brings up the associated dialog.
    I am obviously missing something, but what?

    Make sure you have this line at the begining of your script...
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;

  • Photoshop cs5 says "Place" is unavailable when I try to batch process from bridge, does anyone know what's going on?

    I am trying to batch process my watermark from bridge.  I have a saved action in photoshop cs5 and have used it for a while and all of the sudden it says "place" is unavailable.  I have reset bridge and photshop and restarted the computer.  Do actions get corrupt? 

    That is a very common error message actions produce when  for some reason the document current state does not support the command or feature used in the action step that gets the error.  With our seeing a screen capture of the error message and being able to see the document window, the layers palette and the actions palette   Its not possible to tell you why the actions is getting that error message.  Most likely its because of the document current state. For example place is not valid for a bitmap mode document.

  • Discrepancy when running JS in batch mode from Bridge vs. Photoshop

    I have an action that calls the following bit of javascript. When I run the action on a single file I have no problem. When I run the action using Batch from Photoshop CS3 I don't have any problems. When I run the action using Batch from Bridge CS3, I get prompted with a dialog box at line 2, I have to hit Enter to get past line 3, and have to hit Enter after the last line. Can anyone explain why the behavior would be different depending on where it's called from? How can I modify the javascript to get around this?

    var layerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
    layerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;

    You might want to try and put a

    at the top of the script. It should suppress the dialogs.

  • Cannot run batch directly from Bridge

    Hi,
    I often work from Bridge and use the TOOLS>PHOTOSHOP>BATCH or TOOLS>PHOTOSHOP>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS
    This works well except it has just stopped working for no apparent reason. When I try any of the commands under TOOLS>PHOTOSHOP, photoshop will launch or become active but then just sit there doing nothing.
    This has thrown a HUGH spanner in my workflow and is driving me nuts.
    I have tried deleting Bridge/photoshop prefs etc but nothing seems to help.
    I'm guessing it has something to do with Bridge startup scripts or something.
    I can batch via the Photoshop Automate menu but this is nowhere as efficient for me - I then have to hunt for the files etc.
    Weird how it did work then not. The only change I made was installing a new version of ACR, but that was a week or so ago.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    Thanks.

    SOLVED!
    I renamed the folder containing my files and it now works. As far as I can tell there was something corrupt in the folder name - it was originally COPY>PASTed from an email, so maybe there was a hidden character or something else weird that confused Photoshop when it tried to run the script.
    Weird.

  • Batch processing from Bridge: including "Subfolders"

    I posted in the Camera Raw forum on this, but thought it would not hurt to re-post here.
    Context: Mac quad G5, 4G Ram, 4 internal drives, OS 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1, ACR 4.4, Bridge 2.1.1.9
    Checking the "Include All Subfolders" box seems not to process any folders contained within the currently selected Bridge window. All selected files, other than the subfolders, process as usual.
    Some jobs require that images be sorted by machine or model number, and into folders. Now I want to make previews for the client.
    I had never used this option before ("Include All Subfolders"). Is there a trick to it? TIA, kl
    Omke suggested Batching from CSPS, and Ramón suggested Dr Brown's 1-2-3 Processor. it's good, to be sure, but it has no option to check subfolders, and selecting a folder that contains images and subfolders is not permitted.
    TIA, KL

    Thanks, Omke; ignore that Q. I posted on the "Features" thread.
    I just ran a quick test on Dr Brown's 1-2-3, but selecting it via "Scripts"; amazingly, the "Include subfolders" check box appears.
    The only part that does not seem to work is that the results of the processing seem to be in one folder only (rather than the processing following the folder structure of the folders, or, in the case of using 1-2-3 from Bridge, TIFFs appearing in one folder marked "TIFFs" and JPEGS in their own folder).
    Not a big problem, but if there is a way to reproduce the folder structure of the *Source* files and subsolders, I will be 100% happy!
    Cheers, kl

  • Batch processing from Bridge: checking the "include "Subfolders" box

    My request is simply to make this function work.
    This would help my workflow enormously. If the processing simply reproduced the folder structure on the destination drive, as selected in the "Destination: Choose" dialogue, that would be completely adequate. TIA.

  • Running Batch Actions in Bridge causes PS's Preferences window to open repeatedly

    I just upgraded to CC at work, and ever since I've had a problem when I batch run Photoshop Actions from Bridge.
    I have some simple Actions set up in PS to do some conversions for large batches of images (convert to RGB, resize, change DPI, etc.). But when I run them from Bridge like I always have, it causes Photoshop to open the Preferences window to the "Units & Rulers" tab. And that, unfortunately, pauses the batch conversion until I close the Preferences window. This happens at least once per file, but usually twice. Pretty annoying.
    I never had this problem when I was using CS6, but just in case there was some sort of incompatibility with my old Actions, I remade one of them in CC, but the Preferences window still pops up.
    This only happens when I run Batch Actions from Bridge. When I run the Action on a single file from PS, it works fine.
    Any ideas? Maybe I've found a new bug?
    Thanks!

    BTW, I was able to get around this problem by opening all the files I wanted to run the Action on using Bridge, then manually triggering the Batch dialog via Photoshop and using the 'Source: Opened Files' option:
    Using this system, I didn't get any errors. Luckily, I also didn't have a huge number of files. If I did, I'd probably have to copy them all into a temp folder using Bridge, then run using 'Source: Folder'. Definitely a pain when they are all right there in Bridge ready to be batched.

  • Initiating Photoshop CS4 batch from Bridge sometimes ignores RAW xmp settings

    This happens a lot using both my work PC (XP 64) and home PC (Vista 64), but not always...and I have not been able to track down exactly how to fix this.
    What happens is I try to launch a batch process for RAW photos taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II (develop settings already set in xmp files using Adobe Camera RAW from Bridge). The actions in the batch process execute correctly, but the resulting files appear to have completely ignored my ACR develop settings. This happens if I launch the batch process in either version of Photoshop CS4 (64 or 32 bit).
    My only solution is to carefully watch Photoshop as files get loaded by the batch process and abort the batch if one opens without the correct develop settings (not always easy to discern...sometimes I have to wait for the process to save the file so I can toggle back and forth between the images in Bridge). I then restart Bridge and/or Photoshop until I can start a batch process that opens the image correctly. Once a single file has opened with the correct settings, subsequent files open as expected...so the rest of the batch process will complete.
    Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? This is really annoying as it never happened to me in CS or CS2.

  • Batch image processing from bridge cause photoshop to crash

    But first it goes ahead and processes the images selected in Bridge. All of them like even over a hundred at a time (great time saver!). Then displays a message for each image in one error dialogue saying, "Sorry Photoshop couldn't process the image. . ." for each image.
    It also saves the images to the a folder above (in hierarchy) instead of the folder I select in the batch dialogue. I've tried using Batch process from within Photoshop and get the same result as image process from Bridge.
    While I am able to do the processing I need, it's annoying to have the force quit Photoshop each time, and Then to move the processed images where they belong.
    I am on a G5, 4mb ram, OSX 10.4.11. Photoshop CS3 #10.0.1, and bridge CS3 # 2.1.1.9.
    I usually do the updates when I'm alerted, but haven't heard of anything recently.
    Any ideas?

    Hi SSPrengel
    OK - maybe this will shed some light
    Try changing the size to something very small.- see below
    Try changing the compression. Not affected by the level of Quality (2% 50% or 100%) - all fail to load
    Try changing whether a color-profile is embedded or not. Not an option AFAIK in LR Export
    Try changing if the metadata is minimized or not. Not an option AFAIK in LR Export
    Try changing if the JPGs are exported relative to the source image or some fixed location. Exported to a specific location.
    If I use the Image export resize option it loads OK (resize to 1000*673 from 3916*2634).
    Older exports (from LR2.3 and earlier, of the same size image, and source DNG are OK)
    A centre crop from the Image (1205*691) is OK. A marginal crop (2 edges)  (3838*2552) is OK whereas a very slight crop at (3693*2614) FAILS
    The camera is Leica M8, images is in Leica RAW format (DNG).
    It appears to be function of Image export size (reduced either by Cropping or by 'Resizing on Export'
    Looks like a bug in LR2.6

  • Why can't I do batch actions from CS4 or CS5 Bridge now when I could before?

    Something has changed in my functions for doing batch actions in Bridge.  In CS5 Bridge I try to do a simple batch action of saving a DNG file as a jpg and closing the file.  When I attempt this I get a message saying 'The command "Save" is currently not available.
    I try to do the same thing in CS4 Bridge.  I go to the Tools menu and look for Photoshop in the drop down menu but it's not there.  This is how I do batch action processing with my Windows version of CS4 Bridge.  I am confused about what has changed when I was able to do batch actions routinely in CS4 and CS5 Bridge on my Mac.

    Batch using tools menu from Bridge to reach Photoshop should work as expected in both CS4 and CS5. If not then there is something wrong on either your system or install.
    Go to Bridge CS5 preference and look for the section Start Up Scripts and see if there is still a Start Up Script for Photoshop CS5 present and with a checkmark in front for activation. If not try first to restart bridge holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. This should retrieve the original Start Up scripts again.
    If your command save as is not available check the action and see what the save path for that acton is. If it is a copied action from an other system changes are that it still contains the save path for the old drive and if the script can't find it it provides a warning message.
    Also check if the drive you save to has both read and write permission.

  • Automated batch doesn't work in photoshop & from Bridge

    Hi all,
    Automated batch from  Bridge  tools>photoshop>batch  Photoshop cs5 stops working. Automated batch also doesn't work in photoshop. Automated actions work in Photoshop. All other Photoshop process work  from Bridge. I use a PC with windows. This happens even with files I was  previously able to do an automated batch with Photoshop. It doesn't  matter what the file extension is. This has only recently begun  happening for no apparent reason.

    First, given what you've written, it's important to ask:  48 x 48 what?  Details matter.  48 x 48 pixels?  Inches?
    Beyond that, yes, I believe the Image Size dialog interacts with us a little differently than it used to.
    Whether it's a positive or negative design change I can't say.  They're trying to pack a lot of functionality in there, and it might take a little getting used to...  It does seem deterministic:
    If you want to keep the physical print size the same and increase the pixel density - i.e., upsample the  image - you would have to choose physical dimensions.  Try this:
    1.  Change the units to inches.
    2.  Change the ppi value and press OK.  This resamples the image.
    On the other hand, if you want to keep the pixel count the same, but just change the ppi value so that it matches a particular kind of display, how would you do it?  Try this:
    1.  Change the units to pixels.
    2.  Change the ppi value and press OK.  This changes the metadata.
    Are you trying to assume what leaving the units set to percent means?  To me it says "xx % of the pixel count".

  • Batch editing raw files from bridge

    When I batch edit my raw files, including saving the file as a jpeg, from bridge or photoshop the resulting file saved never includes any changes I made in the Camera Raw editor. For example if I have lightened the photo by changing the exposure in Camera Raw as a saved jpeg after batching the file is still as dark as when originally shot. Is there some little box I forgot to check or something? Thanks!
    andy

    Edit:
    Glad to hear you got it working.
    I'll just leave what i had put here anyway.
    You want Program Files (x86)
    That's where the 32 bit programs such as photoshop cs3 are on a windows 7 64 bit system.
    Also, in bridge cs3 under Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails ensure Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Jpeg and Tiff files is checked.
    (then restart bridge cs3)

  • Problem trying to batch resize images from bridge.

    I am trying to batch resize images from bridge. I am on windows 7 desktop and using CC, I select the images in bridge, tool bar>tools>photoshop>image processor. After doing this, photoshop CC opens but no images open.

    open photoshop, open actions pallette, click new action (windows > actions (or Alt+f9)), click record, open your image, resize it, click stop action.
    then use file> automate > batch
    the action you just recorded will be ready to use, select the folder with all your photos (wise to work on a duplicated folder incase you mess up)
    run the action.  wait while photoshop opens and resizes the images one by one.
    check in folder if the images resized how you expected.

  • Batch Process White Balance From Bridge/ACR?

    Here's what I want to do:
    Open Bridge
    Use Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor
    Set ACR white balance to be used on all files being processed from Bridge
    Save to JPEG
    I can do 1, 2, and 4.  When the Image Processor window opens it gives me a checkbox option that says, "Open first image to apply settings".  I assumed this meant I could open the first image in ACR (via Image Processor), adjust the white balance settings (and any other ACR settings I want), and then have those settings applied to the rest of the images that are processed.  However, when I do this, the ACR settings are applied only to the first image, none of the others.  Is there a way to apply the ACR settings I create on that first image to the rest of the images?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Apologies for replying to this thread, but it seemed like a better idea than creating another topic for more or less the same issue.
    I am attempting to do the same thing using Bridge/ACR except I am not seeing the edits on the JPEG file afterwards.
    Here are the steps I go through.
    1) Open Adobe Bridge CS3
    2) Select several RAW files
    3) Click Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor
         The options I have checked (1) open first image to apply settings.  (2) Save in Same Location (3) Save as JPEG, Quality 12 (4) Include ICC profile
    4) Click Run
    5) Make edits in ACR, click Open Image
    6) Photoshop batches those files.
    I only chose 6 files to batch as a test, but it only made the edits to the first picture, the remaning 5 were untouched.
    I am wondering if maybe I am just missing something simple here and someone could point it out to me
