Batch processing: Action not working - Photoshop CC

I've created an action to apply a watermark. I want to apply this to a folder of jpeg pics.
I've gone to:
File>Automate>batch - see pic below
I ok this.
The batching looks as though it's taking place since I can see it running through the steps of the action. But when finished, nothing has changed.
I've also tried changing the 'Destination' to 'Folder' and using '4 digit serial number + extension' but this doesn't work either.
Many thanks for help in advance.
PS. I've tried using File>Scripts>Image processor and this works. Why this and not Batching?

Your terminology seems to be pretty jumbled.
Please focus one one issue/tool for now and post a screenshot/s with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar …) visible.

Batch process does not work in one service, but worked in another.

Hi Fellows,
We have here a batch process with a code encrypted, that runs daily in a production environment.
Tonight this batch process did not work.
It is expected that this process runs in about 20 seconds, but tonight this process used about 3 hours and did not finished.
We checked if it was concurrency, killed some sessions and tried again, and nothing has changed.
And then someone changed the service that this process uses, it was 'bat' and changed to 'dba'. And it worked succesfully in 11 seconds.
Here is the tnsnames that the batch process uses:
bat =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(FAILOVER=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = bat)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(BACKUP = dba)
(TYPE = NONE)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 20)
(DELAY = 5)
dba =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dba)
Do you guys know what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance.

We set the service which the app should connect.
These services are set in srvctl:
ora.cms.bat.cms1.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora1
ora.cms.bat.cms2.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora2

The batch process connects to a service [ bat ], but it hangs and don't finish. But when we change the service do dba is just pass in some seconds and finish succesfully.

Batch processing does not work with action

Here is the thing. I have implementes several action on Photoshop. SOme of the include several sub actions and different saving locations. For example, I open a file, then I hit my prefered key combo for that action, and I have:
1) convert to cmyk
2)save copy as JPG with 11 quality level
3) save to folder A
4) image size to 72 dpi
5) covert to RGB
6) save as JPG 6 quality level
7) save to folder B
8) close file and discard cahnges.
Everything runs like heaven, but the moment I want to batch several files everything stalls.
I choose file > Batch > Choose my set > choose my action
Source > I choose where my files are (usually a PDF)
then I use "Supress file open options dialogs"
Destination> Since I already have set destinations y my actions, I choose here a "dump" folder
On errors > I hit Save As... and put a name for that log.
Then photohop opens my PDF on Photoshop and does nothing! It keeps my file open.
I m gettting frustated here, because I ma about to work with 400 files to batch, and this batch system does not work.
I am using CS6
Any clues

Your action doesn't to seem to include any Open actions. Why do you have the "Supress" option enabled?
Also, since your action has the two save commands, you would just leave the Destination set to None. Setting a Destination means that is going to save the files again.
The problem you'll run into though is that the action also saves the file name as part of the action, so that you'll end up just saving over the one file each time the action is played back on your 400 files. So Photoshop will process all the files, but each time it will overwrite the first file, so you'll end up with one file in each folder. Normally, in these situations, you'd use the Destination setting and use the "Overrride Action "Save As" Commands", which would substitute the Destination folder for whenever a Save command is used. The problem here is that you can only choose a single destination folder, so all files would be saved to the same location.
Short of scripting this, it may be best to break this into two separate actions.

Update process does not work on Tabular Form

Hello,
I have 2 tabular forms on one page, which are using manual update processes.
First form is created using wizard, and therefore works perfectly.

END LOOP;
--Database processing using the concatenated string here
END;Also, both forms are opening in a modal pop-up dialog window.
I use a Dialog Region plug-in for that.
Please advise, what is causing a problem with update?

Sloger,
if this is your tabular form
SELECT apex_item.checkbox (30,
...and this is your update statement
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*30*.COUNT
...Then you will only ever update records that have been checked. Unchecked checkboxes are not passed back in the global array. You need to have a hidden column with the ID's for the record and loop through that when you are updating/inserting. That is why the built in tabular form has a MRU and a MRD. the MRU loops through the hidden ID column. The MRD loops through the checkbox.

"Ask to buy" and "Sign in to Approve" process is not working

Last weekend I setup Family Sharing for the first time, but the "Ask to buy" and "Sign in to Approve" process is not working. I am the Family Organizer and I created an account for my child under 13 with "Ask to buy" enabled. My child can go in to the App Store, click "Buy" for a desired app and I get a notification on my iPhone 5s... as expected. When I open the Notification I have the option to Decline or Approve. If I select Approve, a box pops up asking me to enter the password for my child's iCloud account to complete the request. (It seems odd to me that I'd have to enter his password instead of my own, but whatever.) So I enter his password and the box goes away for a second and then comes right back like I typed it wrong or something. I enter it again and again and always the same box comes back and the request is never completed. We've tried this several times over several days and always see the same behavior. I have also tried entering my password instead of his (since that makes more sense to me) but I encounter the same problem.
I have verified that I am signed in to my iCloud account and my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I have also verified that my son is logged in with his iCloud/iTunes account on his iPod touch, so why isn't this working? Additionally, if I disable "Ask to Buy" then I can successfully install apps on his iPod from the iPod itself.
Is it normal for the "Sign in to Approve" box to show his iCloud address instead of mine? And if so, why doesn't it complete when I enter his password? Am I missing something completely? This is driving me crazy.

Hi ,
When you click your link "Click here", the SharePoint web page with anchor will not work until refresh the page, if it's the case, you can add the javascript code to refresh the page automatically as workaround per the following similar post.

I have actived Schedule server and add default printer already..
Colud you please advice if I missing somehing here
Thankyou
Zaenul

hi Zaenul
the scheduler does not take part in submitting UBE's from a (html)client.
From my guess I think that you did not setup any job queues. (P986130). From the menu; Report management -> batch processing setup -> Job Queues
If that does not solve the issue, please submit a UBE form the development client and check the jde.log (default in C:\jde.log but can be different depending in C:\Windows\jde.ini)
Hope this helps.

CS4 Photoshop Scripts and Actions not working

Hi All,
I just upgraded my suite to CS4 from CS3. Now all my actions and default scripts such as "Load Files to Photoshop Layers" from Photoshop & Bridge are not working. I've tried remaking my actions and renaming files but no luck. I've tried deleting preferences but no luck as well. Im stuck.
Here are my machine specs:
Model Name:    Mac Pro
Model Identifier:    MacPro1,1
Processor Name:    Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:    2 GHz
Number Of Processors:    2
Total Number Of Cores:    4
L2 Cache (per processor):    4 MB
Memory:    9 GB
Bus Speed:    1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version:    MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system):    1.7f10
Any ideas?

Hello,
Its actually doesn't do anything. Once you figure out that PS is not responding then you try to do it again - this comes up "photoshop is currently busy with another task. Would you like to queue this process?"

Bridge - Batch Processing has stopped working...help

I am using Photoshop for Windows in CS2. Have been for years. Work with batch processing and Web Gallery all the time...for years.
Batch Processing and Web Gallery stopped working (along with other Photoshop features). I upgraded to Windows 7, and photoshop/bridge/indesign, etc work once again.
Batch Processing and Web Gallery still don't work. When I select items Bridge and click "Tools", "Photoshop", "Web Photo Gallery" it clicks over to photoshop, as if the process is about to begin. But then Photoshop lies there doing nothing. No action menu pops up if I select "Batch" no "Web Photo Gallery" dialog box initiates if I select the gallery.
Any assistance, that can save me the $1000 on a CS upgrade, will be greatly apprecieated.
Thank you for your time.

Look in edit/preferences/scripts and make sure there is a checkmark for both Bridge and Photoshop. Without that they can't talk.

Actions not working- CS3

I have my own purchased copy of Photoshop CS3 on a PowerMac G5 and it's been working fine.
Now I can't get the actions to work, and I have 1,000 files to resize.
I've reinstalled the program, but nothing has changed.
Here's what I do:
Through Bridge, open image (tiff), open actions
create new set, create new action, Record
resize image, save image as jpg to new folder, close, Stop Action
In Photoshop, Batch, select action, select source and destination folders, hit ok
Action starts, opens up file, resizes, closes
Usually nothing appears in the new folder.
Today:
It is now saving a tiff and a jpg to the new folder, but the jpgs are totally the wrong size, and the tiff is not supposed to be there.
It's good it's actually saving an image now, but not still doing what I specify
Any suggestions?

A Save As-step with Folder-seelction in an Action can be problematic.
I recommend you just use File > Scripts > Image Processor and drop the Save As-step from the Action.

PS CS action not working on Lightroom-exported JPGs

Hi,
I am using an old version of Photoshop (CS) and the latest version of Lightroom.
I export the Lightroom image as a JPG, then open in Photoshop (either via LR Droplet as part of post-processing or manually). I try to run two actions: 1) resize the photo, and 2) add watermark using a .PDF file. What happens is the following:
- I can run the "resize" action and it works fine, but the "add watermark" action does not work - it adds the blank layer background and the watermark is missing
- If I run the "add watermark" action first, before resizing, that works fine. However, I would like to resize first and THEN add the watermark.
Please note that these two actions, in any order, work perfectly with normal JPGs. I am only seeing this problem on a .JPG that has been exported from Lightroom.
I have tried adding the graphical watermark in Lightroom upon expert, but it just does not look as good as when I add it in Photoshop, which is why I need this extra PS step.
Any comments and insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

No, this is true for all jpegs. When manually saving a jpeg with layers in PS, PS will show a caution symbol in the save dialog box. In the latest versions of PS it defaults ot saving the file as a copy and merging automatically. It leaves the original file intact, though. I dont remember what PS CS1 did by default. Point being that when running this process as an action, PS may have to decide what to do with the layer without user input.
Jpegs created in LR are the same as any other jpgs. It very well may be a color space issue with the pdf. The jpegs that you are used to might be in sRGB and you might be exporting AdobeRGB(98) or ProPhoto from LR.
Another possiblity would be where the pdf is located on your system. PS actions may be using relative paths instead of absolutes. IDK... that would be something for the PS forum.
My plan of attack would be:
1. Check the color space used on export.
2. Add a merge visible to your action.
3. Save the PDF watermark as a jpeg.

CS5 Batch Processing Photo Editing work flow

I am relatively new to CS5 and I am intested in automating the correct gross photo editing work flow process [ie., levels contrast, color , noise, sharpening etc] once I have made RAW corrections for each photo.I hope this is as simple as refering me to a tutorial
Tank

Not sure exactly your are looking for, a template or an action to apply to other images. In Bridge/tools/photoshop there are a number of options. The image processor is quite powerful. There is also the option to make a metadata template to apply settings to other images.
Do a google search for batch process edits Bridge and see what suits your fancy.

Retrieving Automate Batch processes I created in Photoshop CC before updating to Photoshop CC 2014

I used Photoshop CC this afternoon and created a couple of batch processes. This evening I had to update CC and the result was that when I opened Photoshop CC 2014 the two batch processes I created were not there. Is there a way to import them and from where?

Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again. I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
What did you change?

Why are the adjustment layers in my actions not working? (mac osx)

I've just 'upgraded' to CC, and noticed that actions that alter Curves or levels adjustment layers do not play back correctly.
The Action itself contains the right steps but nothing happens to the adjustment or the image. I use this a lot for my work and I really need some help
I have a mac 10.7

Are these actions you recorded in a previous version of photoshop?
Did you try recording the action(s) in photoshop cc?
Have you installed the 14.1.1 update for photoshop cc?
Does it make any difference if you disable the Generator plugin under Photoshop>Preferences>Plug-Ins>Enable Generator?
