Batch process to Tiff Image

I have several hundreds of psd documents every now and then and I need to print them out to black&white TIFF format. Is there a way that I can do an automation in FW CS4? I know how to get them into greyscale from Bridge but I am looking for Black&White Tiff image. is there a script that I can use? I haven't got to scripting experience yet. Can you help? I really appreciate your helps.

Just so we're clear, Fireworks is a screen graphics application and it may not be particularly efficient if you try to batch process a huge number of high resolution images.
That said, you can probably create a custom command to do what you want, and it doesn't require programming knowledge. FW already has batch commands for resizing, renaming and exporting files, so the only piece you need to add to the puzzle is sharpening.
Open a file in Fireworks. Using ONLY key commands, apply the unsharp mask filter. TAB through the input fields rather than using your mouse. Fireworks records keyboard commands, but not options selected with the mouse.
When you have the sharpening you want, tab to the OK button and press enter on the keyboard.
Open the History panel (Window > History)
Select the Filter Image step and click on the disc icon at the bottom right of the panel. This lets you save the shrapening as a custom command. It will appear at the bottom of your Commands menu in FW.
Now go back to Bridge
Select your images
Choose Tools > FIreworks > Batch Process
Your images will appear in included files window at the bottom of the Batch wizard
Click next
From the Batch options pane, add the processes you want:Scale, Export and fromthe Commands section choose Convert to Greyscale and your unsharp mask custom command.
From the Include in Batch pane, set the order of the process to Convert to Greyscale, Scale, Unsharp Mask and export. Select the Scale command and change the settings as desired at the the bottom of the wizard window,
Select the Export command, choose custom from the settings area and then click the edit button so you can choose TIFF. When you've adjusted the settings to your liking, click OK (You willnot see an image preview when you alter these settings).
Click Next and choose to export the files to a custom location, so you do not overwrite your existing files.
If you like, choose the Save Script button to save the entire process as a custom batch command.
Click the Batch button, and go have lunch. ;-)

Batch processing with an image overlay

Is it possible to do batch processing with an image overlay in FW CS4?
I'm trying to resize several hundred images and place rounded corners on them.
If this cannot be done in FW, does anyone know of another program that could accomplish this?

Hi Marje,
It's possible to include both resizing and image overlay in a custom Fireworks command that can be used in batch processing. To get started, you could check out this tutorial that deals with the first step.
That article describes how to perform image resize and overlay (in that case, a watermark), and then how to record the steps and turn them into a custom command that can be later used in batch processing.
Once you saved the custom command, click File >> Batch Process, and follow the steps below:
In the first window, select the images you want to process.
On the next screen, open the Commands dropdown menu and select the custom command you created (it'll probably be on the bottom of the list), and click the Add button to include it in the batch process list.
Finally, on the next screen select the location of the processed files, and optionally save the batch script for later use.
Good luck!

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!

How can I batch process 4 diff image sizes from 1 master?

Hi there
What I would like to do is create 4 separate image files of varying sizes (large, medium, small & extra small) from one master image. I would need the ability to name each file individually too, ie. picture1_large, picture1_medium etc
I have a few thousand files to process so ideally a solution that I didnt have to keep checking on would be preferable. I know I can create a batch process for one size but its creating the four diff sizes in a batch which im finding difficult to work out.
any help would be much appreciated
Jim

Simply drag the entire folder through Bridge—or even individual files—the invisible xmp files containing your adjustments will automatically and invisibly travel along with the image files, as long as you do it within Bridge, not through the OS.
Otherwise, you would need to set your Mac OS to always make invisible files visible, and you don't want that hassle.
Just use Bridge to move files around or to copy them to a new folder.
Incidentally, there's a dedicated Adobe Bridge forum:

Batch process makes image resolution change to 72dpi - it should be 300dpi - Help!

In my work I use a batch process to run an action that converts EPS files to TIFF files. I have been using this successfully in Photoshop 7 on a Win2000 PC for a number of years. The process is as follows...
Open EPS file
Flatten Image
Save
Close
When I recorded the action I made sure that the resolution was set to 300dpi as we require the TIFF produced at the end to be that resolution.
I am now testing PSCS3 on a WinXP machine as we are upgrading all of our equipment. When I run the action as a batch process the TIFFs that are saved end up being 72dpi - They should be 300dpi. This worked in PS7 on the Win2000 machine and I am using exactly the same process in PSCS3 on the new WinXP machine, but something must be going wrong somewhere for the TIFFs to be saved at 72dpi instead of the required 300dpi. Any ideas?

That doesn't seem to work - it doesn't appear to record any changes I make in the 'Image Size' dialog.
When I look at the actions that I recorded in PS7 there are all the settings that I specified at the 'Open' step, such as 300dpi, greyscale, etc. saved under 'Open', but when I do the same in PSCS3 it doesn't record all the settings, just the actual 'Open' command, so I need to find a way of making PSCS3 remember '300dpi', 'greyscale', etc. within the 'Open' step like it did when I recorded the action using PS7.

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??

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.

Batch processing - HDR feature Lightroom 6 - Is this possible?

We shoot a lot of real estate interiors; is there a way to batch process sets of images (in this case 5 per shot) in Lightroom 6. I did vaguely remember seeing a video from Adobe saying that you could line up the new shot when the first was merging but that's not feasible for large batch runs and given that I am affected by the AMD Radeon problem, I would like to automate the process and not wait 4 hours to process a batch. All tips and suggestions welcome., thank you in advance.

Some others have asked for that -- add your vote and opinion to this topic in the official Adobe feedback forum: LIGHTROOM - Batch HDR
Also, I don't think the GPU is being used to accelerate HDR and panoramas: GPU notes for Lightroom CC (2015). So you're not missing out on that score.

Bridge batch processing script for Photoshop stops after ten mins

I have a javacript to help batch process collections of images in Bridge by sending them (in layers) to Photoshop CS5. It works perfectly, except it stops running after about ten minutes (around 6-10 images) so that I have to keep restarting the script. This behaviour has only started since the script was installed in the Bridge startup folder so that it could be started from the (right click) menu. The script does not seem to time out when run via ExtendToolkit.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks again Paul. Can I ask you where the best place to insert that would be? The script is below - I'm sure you'll recognise it :6).
I've also been wondering if its possible to alter the script so that the files in bridge are opened in PS as Smart Objects (in layers)? There is a script 'Open as Smart Object in Layers' but I haven't been able integrate it into your fantastic script.

Save for Web with Optimize File Size for Batch Process

I have a client who needs to be able to run a batch process on jpg images ranging in size from 600KB to 2.5MB optimizing their file size as close to 200KB as possible. The feature is included in Photoshop's save for web optimize dialog but it doesn't work for batch processes. If you record an action with the optimize to file size option set it processes all the images in the batch based on the quality settings required to resize the image you used during recording, meaning if the image you recorded was 1.5MB the quality setting might be 70 percent to hit the 200KB mark but that wouldn't be the correct quality setting for a 600KB file nor a 2.5MB file those would either be too small or too large.
I've done quite a bit of searching both online and in the photoshop scripting forums but I haven't been able to find anything that would point me in the right direction.
My client's paying for this work so if there's someone who knows how to script this who'd rather be paid than just do some pointing we can arrange for that quite easily.
Thanks in advance for your assistance and suggestions.
In case it's of importance we're using Photoshop CS4.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks on a shareware prog, Jpegsizer has the option to save to a filesize.
You can find it here.

There is a free trial version, but you can't save files.

Batch processing light levels...

I make stop-motion animations using natural light. This results in a “flickering” effect due to the small differences in light in each still. I am able to balance the light levels in Photoshop for each still, but this is very time-consuming. I’ve heard of using Batch processing for multiple images, but I have one question:
Can Batch processing take a number of images and make the light levels the same in each (so that all the images look the same)? Or does it just take a number of images and make the same adjustments to each one (so that they would still look different from eachother)?

Or does it just take a number of images and make the same adjustments to each one (so that they would still look different from eachother)?
How do you adjust the luminance?
Is it done with one of the Auto corrections? Then it should be automatable.
If it requires manual input (for example in the Levels or Curves dialog) then you are looking at a problem (not an undeserved one, I guess, as you chose natural lighting).
Far as I can tell automation of content-dependent corrections basically requires some form of quantifiability of the issue; so if you could for example deduce the necessary correction from the Histogram one should be able to make a Script for the task.

Batch Processing RAW to jpg

I've read the tutorials and have been at this for over an hour, but I can't get a droplet created to batch process my RAW images to jpg.
The only thing I've been able to do is to create an action that converts only 1 RAW image (the one I used in setting up the action) to jpg, successfully.
But everytime I run this action, it uses the same original photo. And I can create a droplet from this action.
I know this is basic to many of you, but I'd great appreciate some help.
Thanks,
Susan
(PS: using Lightroom and PS CS2)

Will, this is not exactly what you are looking for but maybe this will help you if you own Photoshop CS2 or CS3.
1. Configure LR to automatically update the XMP section of your DNG files.
2. Use LR to tweak the images in your "watched folder"
3. Copy the processed DNG files to the destination folder on your network drive. You can do this manually or use apps like SyncToy on XP.
4. use the ImageProcessor script in Photoshop CS2 to create JPGs. (Ensure that you use ACR 3.7 in CS2)
4.1 specify the folder "customerName/rawfiles/" as source and target. ImageProcessor will create a JPG folder automatically
4.2 (optional) Use Actions within the ImageProcessor script to leverage sharpening solutions like PhotoKit Sharpener which are momentarily better that the sharpening LR offers.

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

How to use the same (selection) paths in multiple images for batch processing?

I have a whole bunch of photos I need to batch process, but, when creating an action for this, I stumbled upon the problem that the paths I selected with the pen tool, and saved under the "Paths" tab need to be in every image for to be used in the action. I did try to solve it for some time, but couldn't figure out. Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Carlos

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..
