Batch Processing using Bridge to PhotoShop

- I am using CS4 on a PC.
- I shoot RAW and from Bridge I go into Camera RAW and adjust my images.
- Usually I save each one at a time however I would like to learn how to be able to edit each photo using Bridge and Camera RAW ( I’m already doing this), then be able to take all of the photos in the directory and batch process to save as a tiff or jpg for further manipulation.
- I was using Canon’s DPP but want to do all my work in Adobe. The process in DPP is straightforward.
I'm sure this is simple but I can't seem to find it in the menu's or Help.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Curt:
Thank, this gave me the direction I needed. After a few tries I think I've got it down pat.
Thanks again.

No option to Batch Process in Bridge CS5

Usually in Bridge I would go to Tools> Photoshop> Batch. But instead I am seeing Tools> Process Collections in Photoshop.
Even if I go into photoshop to batch process via Bridge, the option for Bridge is greyed out and I can't select it.
I am on Windows 7, 64 bit.
Please help.

You sir, are a GENIUS! I salute you.

Script to open images using bridge for photoshop

hi,
i am looking for photoshop script to open set of selected images using bridge into photoshop and handle those images into a layers for the active document.
Thanks,

I'm not 100% sure what you are looking for, but this is not the best forum to be looking. You either want the Bridge scripting forum, or the Photoshop one:

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

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.

Some time ago I was looking for a way to find out a pdf’s page-count and this was one of the solutions I was presented with (Bridge might offer a better sollution, though):
#target photoshop
thePageNumber = getPDFPageCount ( File.openDialog("select pdf"))
alert (thePageNumber);
// by jezz, based on something by xbytor i guess;
function getPDFPageCount(f) {
f.open ('r');
var gotCount = false;
while (! gotCount) {
next_line = f.readln();
if ( f.eof ) {alert("Aborting the script\nWe've got to the end of the file without finding a page count");
     f.close();
     exit();
     if (next_line.indexOf ("/N ") > 0 && next_line.slice(0, 9) != "<</Length" && next_line.slice(0, 9) != "[/Separat") {
     var p = next_line.match (/\/N (\d+)\/T/)[1];
     gotCount = true;
     else if (next_line.indexOf ("/Pages") > 0 ) {
//      alert (next_line);
     var p = parseInt(next_line.substring(next_line.indexOf("/Pages") +6), 10)
     gotCount = true;
f.close ();
return Number(p);
I suppose this approach could be modified to address some of the features you are looking for.
But the issue might be a fairly complicated one, as a pdf may for example combine many different TrimBox-sizes.
Have you asked over in the Bridge Scripting Forum, too?

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?

Moving the discussion to Photoshop General Discussion.
Thanks,

How to delete silence in batch process using Audition CS6

I've started using Audition CS6 recently.
I'm able to delete silence at the beginning and end of the source audio files using delete silence effect (from diagnostics window).
I'm not able to record this as new favorite so that I can apply it in the batch process.
How can I delete silence at the beginning and end of the source audio files (1000 or more files) using batch process?
It will be of great help if I can get guidance on this, instead of manually editing these files.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

yes, the favorite is not aware of the diagnostic panel (and delete silence action).
and the silence at the beginning and end varies between the files, is there any way to deal with?
it doesn't look productive to scan for the silence and delete the silences manually for each individual file (for more than 1000 files).
can we create a macro or use some scripting in audition to deal with this in a batch process?
Or is there any other tool that's recommended to have this part done in a reliable manner?

Batch processing using JPD suitability

Hello,
In our company, we are using Weblogic Integration 8.1.6 for batch DB processing mixed with some business logic. We have a few applications built around this: an event generator is fired and a JPD (with DB controls and other controls calling EJBs and WSs) runs to process large CSV files (8MB) into the DB, with some other queries for business data in between, on a daily basis.
However, we have been facing (and still are facing) many problems with those JPDs. It seems to me that they are not such a good choice for long running batches. There is always something: memory is to low, memory is too high (yes! there was a time when we had to lower the instance memory from 1.5GB to 1GB, to prevent it from crashing, after endless trial and error), the transaction timeout is too short (in the descriptors or domain wide), processes cannot be monitored in the WLI console for unknown reasons, transaction handling is not clear (you cannot avoid transactions inside the JPD; it is forced by default - you can only disable it through the datasource) and more problems that happened throughout the past few years, which required rather tedious trial-and-error solving.
My question is: are JPDs really suitable/intended for long batch processing? The event generators certainly invite you into using them for that purpose. Is anybody else using them for that? Or is everyone else happy with batch EXEs?

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 process using Nik Software - is it possible?

Hi,
I'm using Nik Software (plug-ins) with Aperture and was wondering if there was any way to do a batch change? For example if I have to reduce the noise using Define2.0 and I have a profile I would like to use already, is there a faster way to process a set of pictures altogether rather than one by one (which I currently do now)? I've tried selecting multiple ones and opening it in Define2.0 but it seems that unless I view each picture in Define2.0 then some pictures still remain unprocessed.
Thanks,
Walter ...

If you have the most up to date version of the Nik plugins, you can batch just as you are explaining. Simply select a handful of images and right click>edit with>Define, Viveza, Silver Efex Pro, etc.
You do have a powerful graphic card to do this smoothly.
Hope this helps,
ChristopherDavid

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.
