Batch processing images with histogram info

I am using photoshop 7; I would like to know if I can batch process a group
of images and generate the Histogram info of the images in a different directory then the images. I have tried to make a action to do this
procedure but with little success. When I run the automate script all that I get is the histogram info of the first image. Is there a process for doing this or am I trying achieve something that can not be done. Any advise would be appreciated.
thank you, Mark

That's an interesting action, but I thought the expected output was different than what this action produces. First, I didn't think image cropping would have been ok (maybe the OP expects this or is ok with cropping). Secondly, I kept getting caught up in how the right edge was going to actually be skewed (as decreasing in size perspectively off into the distance). This action appears to just visually trick the eye (again which may be what the OP wanted or is ok with). Like I said, just that aspect alone is where I kept getting stuck in how this would be possible without some manual manipulation.
If you take this image http://www.shan-dysigns.com/userForums/photoshop/stripes.jpg and perform this action, you will see how the right side doesn't actually get skewed (as I thought was part of the visual effect wanted). Still, this action is quite nice.

Batch processing images with different dimensions

Hi all!
I've been trying to do this for a while and I'm stumped, so I'd like to know if it's even possible. I'm trying to fathom out how to create an action which…
Takes a jpg
draws a shape
masks the image
adds another shape
So I can batch process a ton of images.
I managed to do something like what I'm after but the thing I'm having trouble with is that the original images will have different dimensions.
I have attached (via link) an example image which would be the original (start.jpg), one which would be the desired end result (done.jpg) and the .psd
IF there needs to be a step in the middle of the action where I need to intervene and resize the flat image slightly to fit the canvas it'll still save a load of time.
I know that opening and saving will be taken care of using the batch feature and the result only needs to be a jpg.
Any input will be welcomed!
Here are the working files - http://mikeebee.com/dl/action-test.zip
Many thanks

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 do I batch resize images with different aspect ratios?

How do I batch resize images with different aspect ratios?

Landscape: I want result to be 1960 x 1103 px and 72 ppi whether the original is 300 ppi or 220 ppi and wether it is 2Mb or 10 Mb. Cropped centered top and bottom.
There will be a set of Landscapes that that have a narrower aspect ratio the 1960:1103 that would also need the top and bottom cropped like all Portraits would could be. You need to realize that center cropping Landscape image that have aspect ratios near 1960:1103 will usually produce acceptable compositions. However Cropping wide panoramas and portraits will only produce acceptable landscape 1960:1103 composition occasionally.
Here you will see what happens when image have aspect ratio the do not fit the desired aspect ratio. Where Landscape are forced to portrait and portrait forced to Landscape. Here are two Collage I populated with a mixture of image with different aspect ratios. One collage has all 3:2 Landscape places and the other 2:3 Portrait places.
I create a 1 image 1960x1103 collage 72dpi and create those too. Note the landscape boy foot is cropped off 3:2 is narrow compared to 1960:1103

Batch processing images of various sizes

I'm trying to create 125 pixel square thumbnail images using a batch process and I'm having trouble getting it to work consistently with images that have different aspect ratios. I think I know why it's working the way it is, but I don't know how to work around the function. Here is what I'm doing that doesn't work when the image proportions change:
1. Resize image to 125 pixels high using the "constrain proportions" option.
2. Resize canvas to 125 pixels wide, thus cropping the sides to create the square image.
Then I have another process that does the same thing with images in portrait orientation. The problem is, I have some images that are 640x480, for example, and some that are 640x360. If I create the command using a 640x480 image, the 640x360 images are skewed when run through the batch because the "resize image" step is actually setting the dimensions of the image, rather than maintaining the proportions of that particular image. I thought about setting the canvas to a square first, but since not all my images are the same dimensions, I'm not sure how to account for that.
Anyone have any thoughts? I also have Photoshop, but as a novice, I've found Fireworks to be a little more intuitive for some of these basic commands, particularly batch processes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
Jeremy

It seems tricker than one might expect to create square thumbnails!
I'm a little confused by the results you're describing. When I try using Modify > Canvas > Canvas Size to crop a document, the result appears in the History panel as "Crop Document". If I select that step and choose "Copy Steps to Clipboard", then paste the results in a text file, I get something like this:
fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSize({left:16, top:0, right:141, bottom:125}, true);
This reveals that the canvas is being cropped according to a specific bounding rectangle that may or may not be a great fit for all the other images being processed (depending on their widths). For a more foolproof result, a rectangle like {left:0, top:0, right:125, bottom:125} would be a better choice; however, aesthetically, I'd personally prefer that images be cropped from the center, not the left side.
If I had something better to suggest here, I would. It might be worth checking out Photoshop to see if this type of operation is any easier. Here's one online tutorial on the subject: http://demosthenes.info/blog/347/PhotoShop-Batch-Processing-Generating-Image-Thumbnails-vi a-Automated-Crop-&-Resize

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??

PSE 4 -- batch processing images

I just returned from a sailing trip and I want to send some of my photos to friends. It their original form, the pics are huge. I want to resized 150 photos to a single photo size and dpi. Do I have to do each individually or does PSE 4.0 have a "batch" processing feature where I can resize many photos with one command set? Thanks

If you are on Windows, you can use File/Export in Organizer or you can use the File/Process Multiple Files facility in Editor. On Mac, you only have the latter option.
You say you want to set the "dpi". Actually it is "ppi". Why do you need to set that? Are you sending them for printing? If they are only for screen viewing, PPI is irrelevant.

Process image with c/c++ in JAI

I read in an image with JAI Image IO,then I want to create a interface for c/c++ programemer to write image process functions,so I need to get Image data from the image and pass it to a jni method which implements with c/c++,after this method process the data ,it will return a new data array ,then I need to construct a new Image to render.
but I can't think out an efficient way to do this,could you give me some suggestions?
thank you very much

Thanks, but it doesn't seem necessary to replace foreign characters. It works without replacing in one place but not in another which is confusing. I think it is something with the enconding but can't see what the difference is between the working and non-working code. In both pages I have put <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">I'd greatly appreciate any more suggestions to solve this problem.

Batch resizing images with preview

When I try to batch resize images in Preview I have an error message: not enough space reduce volume?

File - Automate - FitImage
or
File - Scripts - Image Processor
Both should do what you want.

Why all processed image with JAI will change into images with 96DPI?

i think this is the disadvantage of JAI.I have an image with 300*300DPI.
but when i read the image ,and saved it,it become an image with 96DPI.I truely need 300DPI.Does anyone can solve this problem.Thanks.

I've just done a few more tests. Using the image I have described (a portrait with a Layer Mask, and in the Mask I have painted in black to remove certain parts), if I add a new layer and move it to the bottom the image doesn't change. When I fill the new layer with white, the image 'fattens'. Then when I SELECT ALL on the new layer, and Edit > Clear, the image slims down again.
I can't get a grip on that. When I create a new layer, what is on the new layer? Why, when I fill that new layer with white, does the image 'fatten.'
It seems to me I shouldn't have to create a new base layer and fill it with white to ensure that PS properly displays an image.
If anyone wants to see the effect, I have uploaded the image (Tiff, 1.9 MB ) to:

Batch Processing problem with Directories

Hi All!
I am having a problem recording an action for Batch Resizing/Optimizing a large number of Photos.
What I want is to resize about a 1000+ photos, all optimized, but there is a catch!
they are all in separate directories(also in the hundreds!), and as I am delivering them to separate Clients, I would need to preserve the same directory structure after resizing/optimizing, IE its laid out like this:
John's Folder - 50 Photos
Jane's Folder - 120 Photos
Joe's Folder - 75 Photos
David's Folder - 50 Photos
IE: I cant choose "Save Optimized" and 'include sub directories' and then have the Action output them into a Common directory as that would obviously loose the directory structure, and i would have no way of tracking which photo belonged to whom.
(as Image names are all 'Camera' filenames, ie 013121012.jpg, so I cant use that to identify the different Photo-sets as most of the photos were taken on the same day.)
What I came up with so far was to:
Duplicate all files and the Directory structure as it is, and try to write an action that after processing would just 'Save' and Overwrite files as they are. (IE Resize/Optimize, then save/overwrite all photos and then choose 'Include all Subfolders )
Problem is I cant 'Save Optimized' and overwrite the original file! I couldn't even find a way to set 'Compression settings' for Jpg when I am using the 'SAVE' dialog(that would automatically overwrite the original files). The Jpeg Compression only pops up with 'Save As', but then again that is not useful for overwriting the same file.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
PS: I am using Photoshop CS3.

The JSP specification doesn't define the mapping used by a JSP
engine to generate a Java package.className from a given
request.
Oracle JSP takes a simple approach (for a variety of reasons).
Rather then generating a munged/random name, Oracle JSP uses the
full path information in the request. The path information
generates the package name while the classname comes from the
target. As virtual paths within a host are unique this works.
Unfortunately, you have encountered the one limitation of this
approach, namely VP names can contain names that are invalid Java
package or classnames. Names that are all numbers is one case.
Java reserved words is another. Currently, the only way to avoid
this is to change the VP you use to access the JSP so its path
name and target only includes valid Java (package/class) names.

[AS] Batch find images with attributes

Hi!
I've done some applescripting with Indesign but scripting photoshop is new to me.
Problem:
Thousands of grayscale images in a folder. Some of them are not adjusted for print so i need to find images that has light values below 5% an dark values above 95% and move those images to another folder for later processing.
Also some of the images are too wide or too high so those should be moved to another folder for later use.
Can this be done with applescripting Photoshop or is there some other ways (application?)to do it?
Any ideas?
thanks
jukka

What kind of file types do you have? AppleScript has access to SIPS via 'Image Events' a GUI-less app this can check some attributes of files without you opening them (no .eps though). For your below 5% above 95% the only method I can think of at the moment would be to open in Photoshop and read the first and last 12-ish items of the histogram. Something like this would tell you if you have pixels in those ranges. Assuming an open grayscale image.
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
activate
set docRef to the current document
tell docRef
set docWidth to width
set docHeight to height
set docHistogram to histogram of channel "Gray"
set above95 to 0
repeat with i from 1 to 12
set above95 to above95 + (item i of docHistogram)
end repeat
set below5 to 0
repeat with i from 244 to 256
set below5 to below5 + (item i of docHistogram)
end repeat
if (above95 > 0) and (below5 > 0) then
display dialog "NOT OK Image"
else
display dialog "OK Image"
end if
end tell
end tell

Save image with histogram clipping

I really like the way some of my images look when I set the histogram to show clipping. I'd like to save the images in that state (with the clipping showing: red for white, blue for black). Can anyone tell me how to do this? Many thanks in advance!

Take a screenshot if quality is not the first concern.
And reimport this in LR.
Otherwise Photoshop can do that, though you will need to mask the whites and the blacks and fill in the color by yourself.

I need to batch process images to 800x800px without cropping off any part of the images. Is this possible in photoshop?

I have tried processing these through Bridge and image processor, but can only limit either of the height or width to the 800px size. I need the final images to be 800x800px, and don't mind if they have a white border to achieve this.

thanks for that I've cracked it
