Batch rename of PSD, Save as JPEG, file gets old name

I am using PS CS3 Suite. I have done a batch rename in Bridge CS3 of a folder of PSD files. When I subsequently save one as a JPEG it gets the old file name. Why?

Thanks - 7.0.1 installed and still the same problem.
I have narrowed things down a bit.
It seems if I create a new doc 2400x3000 for example I can convert it to a jpeg no problem.
If I start with 3600x3600 I get the problem. Same steps as the above file with the only difference being the size.
Anyone have a solution for this as it seems like it is size related (note that I have created at this size before and never had this problem).
Thanks.

Cannot save to jpeg - file gets corrupted?

First let me say, I have searched through the forum and can't find the answer to what I am looking for. That is probably because I am not really sure what my problem is.
As of yesterday I cannot save a file to jpeg (using PS7)
I have done a virus scan and all the other regular checks but nothing is showing up.
Basically this is what I am doing.
Opening a new document - adding some designs, flattening document and then saving. I choose to save it as a jpeg and everything seems to go fine until I go to open up the saved document. Then there is nothing there.
Doesn't seem to matter if it is a new file or an old file. Same problem. (Mode is set to RGB-8bit)
Sometimes if I do a save as and give the file a completely new name a pop-up comes up and says the following:
Could not save as "C:\...\test.jpeg" because that document is currently open. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
Of course this makes no sense since I am doing a save as and giving the file a new name.
Can anyone help me? Or point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it!

Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files!

I just cant understand this???
Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files and some other file formats. PSD and PNG works.
I have try with the latest iMac and the latest Mac Book Pro, both with Mavericks and Yosemite. Im saving to their internal hard drives. I can not open the corrupted photos on any application.

Nobody else has had problems with the files saved by Photoshop.
Are you sure you aren't just saving the wrong file extension on a different file type (i.e.: a PSD file with .jpeg on the end still isn't a JPEG file)?

I want to update forms in the response file and save it. Sometimes it works, but often I need to save the response file in another name. Very inconsequent! How come?

I have a form that I am sending out and compiling in the response file. These forms I also want to be able to update after receiving them (when I have them in the response file).
But when I do the updates I need to re-save the response file with another name? The strange thing is that sometimes I can just update and save exactly the way I want it. But most of the time I get the message "This file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
Can someone please help me to figure out how to solve this issue. I know that I am the only one that has the file open. I am encountering the same issue in both Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro X. (File was created in Acrobat Pro 9)

Good day!
A simple Paste does not work for you?
It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.

Can I save a JPEG file same as the original size?

I am new to Element and am a beginner. The reason I wanted to use Photoshop Element was to edit high resolution photos for photo books. All of my photos are JPEG taken by a SLR camera. Then, I learned that when I try to save changes as JPEG, the file size gets smaller and I cannot preserve the same quality. If I save them as PSD file, I may preserve the quality/file size, but the photobook creation option in Element 9 is very limited (as opposed to going to Shutterfly website directly). Shutterfly accepts JPEG files only. How can I preserve the quality of JPEG files? Even if I try to save as MAXIM quality, Element 9 reduces the file size by 30% or so. I wonder, Photoshop Element wasn't the right tool if the purpose was "printing" photos? Please advice.

Image size and resolution (pixels per inch -- ppi) are interrelated by division. For example, keeping the original number of pixels the same, if you increase the size the resolution (ppi) will decrease. Don't look at the file size to determine what is a "better" quality.
The thing you're concerned with is to not lose quality by saving a JPG image after each time you edit it. Just work in a lossless format such as PNG or PSD, and only export the final result as a JPG if you have to provide a JPG to your printing service.

Photoshop Project PSD Saves as JPEG & Won't Open

Hi All,
I have a project with a number of Layers in it, Photos, Graphics, Transparency Background, Lettering in Curves, etc. I saved the project as usual yesterday and when I went to open it today, it would not open. I created on a Win7 machine and later opened on a Mac which I do on a daily basic. I am using Photoshop CC. I can not recall the exact error, but it was getting an error mentioning a problem with Jpeg. I confirmed that my file was in fact now a Jpeg file. Research indicated that if I opened the file with the Apple Viewer and do a Save As PSD, the file would then be able to open by Photoshop and infact that did work. However, all my layers, history, etc. are all gone and the file is now flattened which will not work for me. I would like to know what caused this so I can avoid it next time as this has cost me a great deal of time now.
I thought as a last ditch effort, I would check my master files on my Win7 machine and they are Flattened Jpeg, no history or layers, etc. Something happened at save time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Noel,
No, All I can figure is that I had taken a Jpeg file and used it as a starting point for my background as I was working through some issues. I already had several Layers built up and was swapping out my background. I know for fact that my layers and Workpaths were all in place when I did my final save and closed out for the day. I was working with a PSD file previously, but I am suspecting that when I did my save, Photoshop CC chose to default the Background Jpeg and saved the file as Jpeg all without prompting me with any warnings or queries. I rebuilt everything from scratch today to get the project done, but I saved the old files so I can figure out what happened so I can report a bug if possible. I definitely do not want this to happen to me again. I know it had nothing to do with moving the files to Mac. The problem happened on my Win7 machine with Photoshop CC.
Thank You,
Senior

Can't 'save as' jpeg file

I have a group of PSD files that my client wants to have as JPG files. I just went to do a "save as" on one of these and JPEG is not one of the types of files listed. In fact there are only eight file types listed instead of the list of dozens of types that I usually see. The file is 3600x2400 px so I tried first reducing down to 2000x1333 to see if it had to do with a size limit on the file type, but no luck.
I checked and the JPEG file type is still associated with the CS3 program (which I'm using). The "save for web and devices" option still works, and I can also open jpeg files, however I I'm not seeing it as a save as file option. This seems to have just started this morning.
I suppose I could try restarting the computer to see if there's some glitch.
Any suggestions? Best, David

Same happened to me and found out that it was set to 16 or 32 bits. JPEG images are 8 bits. Just go to [IMAGE] => [MODE] => 8 bits. There you go, select the JPEG...

HELP! trying to save a photoshop file, getting the message, 'could not save...'

HELP! trying to save a photoshop file -working with CS5 - getting the message, 'could not save xxx because of a programme error' I have tried changing the file name, no difference. Help. A lot of work I don't want to flush away. Thanks Kevin

You may be running on borrowed time. It sounds like something in your OS file system interface has become corrupted.
But some things to try:
1. Save to another local drive/volume, ESPECIALLY if you're trying to save on a network.
2. Choose Image - Duplicate, then try to save on a local drive/volume as a PSD.

Parse fieldpoint IAK file -- get channel names and ranges?

Hello,
I am looking for a way to read the fieldpoint channel names in their real order (not sorted) _and_ their corresponding range settings from an IAK file. Hardware is a FP-1001 network module connected via RS485 and a handful of AI-110s and AO-210s.
Has anyone found a way to do so yet?
Tried the FP get configuration info VI without succes, it sorts the channel names alphabetically. Edited the VI (threw out the sort array funktion), but no success: Channels now are mixed in no sensible way (the documentation confirms this behavior).
For the ranges, I've looked at the optomux !E, but a) it needs a FP ressource connected (can't work offline this way), and b) I have no clue yet of how to match these ranges with the well-mixed channel names :-(
Maybe someone here can help?
Yours, sincerely,
Sebastian F. Kleinau

Hi,
Please take a look at the following knowledgebase:FP Get Configuration Info.vi Returns Values in a Different Order
I think this is what you are looking for.

How to save JPEG files in PSE5.0 ?

OK. newby Q again. how the heck does one know what to choose when it comes to saving an image as a JPEG? the following three boxes pop up:
IMAGE OPTIONS:
QUALITY>
FORMAT OPTIONS:
BASELINE>
PROGRESSIVE>
SIZE:
up to 2 MBps?

Generally, if you're going to archive your photos as Jpegs, you would want to save them in as high a quality as possible. This would be with the slider all the way to the right or number "12".
Usually "Baseline standard" would be the way to go. This writes the photo in one pass to the screen.
"Progressive" writes the photo in 3 passes across the screen, and is usually used for uploading and viewing large files within a web page.
The "size" dialog box you're referring to, gives you the approximate time (in seconds) required to upload the photo with 56.6bps internet. (dial up) At least the time is referenced to dial up internet in PSE5. So the speed dialog box gives you this information, [1st]; size of photo (in KB) [2nd]; time to upload, (in seconds), [3rd], reference internet speed.
If you plan on re-editing your photos at a later date, you should consider saving in a lossless format. Both PSD and TIFF file formats support saving in layers, and don't "recompress" the file each time it's worked on. "PSD" is Photoshop's native format, so it could be argued that this would be the better of the two. Since a scanner in "lossless" mode would save in TIFF, Photoshop would need to convert those files to PSD. A jpeg file would be better suited to a photo in which the editing process has been finalized, and is heading to the printer, or perhaps Aunt Martha in an Email.
A final thought is that the quality you use to "jpeg" a file, and the file size itself, is largely purpose dependent. For example a photo that you intend to make public on "Flickr" should be down sized and and jpegged at medium quality. This in the event that the photo is downloaded, your work will not be at full resolution and quality, therefore limiting its usefulness to viewing only. In any event, a photo uploaded to the web absolutely should be a COPY, do not tamper with an original in the manner in which I've just described.

How to save jpeg files in iPhoto

I would like to be able to make changes in Photoshop and then be able quickly save a jpeg file in my iPhoto library (Version 9). From what I could deduce, the only way to do this would be to save the file to my hardrive, then go to iPhoto, choose the import to library under the File menu and then locate the file I want to import. Is that really the quickest and easiest way to do this? Or is it possible to save the file directly to the iPhoto library from within the Photoshop program?

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Batch Rename and now files will not open

i hope someone can help me. i moved some .dng files from an external drive to my mapbook pro using batch rename in bridge CS5. The files moved to my desktop ine, but now they will not open. When I try to open them the digital convertor opens up. When I try to open them in photoshop it says it is a unrecognized format. They were fine ten minutes ago in bridge. does anyone have anything they can have me try? I am depserate to get these images printed up tonight and I don't have time to edit them again.

You probably forgot to include the extension .dng or renamed with an extra dot (.) in the filename. Be surr to have only 1 dot with the three letter extension dng at the end (. dng)
You can use Bridge for that again to rename and use the dng extension

Adobe Action: Save As JPEG, but stop to let me change the file name?

I'm needing to save about 100 different JPEG files based on one template with differing text in each JPEG.
I've got my layers set up with a template behind, and all 100 text layers on top of each other. So I turn the text layers on one at a time and save as JPEG's with different names.
I'm finding this to be an incredibly arduous process as I have to select "Save As", then scroll through the file types to select JPEG, then save as the desired name.
Is there a way to speed this up, create an action that opens the "Save As" dialogue box with JPEG ALREADY selected so all I have to do is paste the new file name in? Or any other suggestions?
Skipping that one step of having to scroll through in the "Save As" dialogue box to select JPEG would save me TONS of time. But I can't figure out how to do this... I can only figure out a way to create a "Save As" action that has the same name.
Thanks so much!

Thank you for the response, and I will attach screenshots.
I'm not sure how this will help with the description as you haven't specified which part of my original post you don't understand, but see the attached photos and let me know if you have further questions about the process:
My document is laid out with one template, then dozens and dozens of text layers on top for each flide for my client (Consulting 101_1 etc.)
So I have all of the text layers turned off EXCEPT for the single one that I want to save for the slide I want to create (in this example Consulting 101_1)
So I save this slide with the current text layer viewable (Consulting 101_1), select "Save As", then have to navigate to "JPEG" in the 'Format' section.
Then once I've saved that specific slide, I turn off the previous text layer (in this case Consulting 101_1) and turn on the NEXT text layer (in this case Consulting 101_2) and repeat the same thing.
I realize that there is no fast way to do this, but cutting out the need to select 'Format' and scroll down to 'JPEG' every single time would save a massive amount of trouble.
If I could just hit an action key command and have the "Save As" dialogue box pop with with 'JPEG' ALREADY selected as the format, then I could just name the file and move on to the next, cutting out a massive amount of grunt work.

Issue with Adobe Bridge batch rename crashing

Hi, I have been trying to rename photo files in Adobe Bridge CC using the batch rename tool. I have just started using CC apps. All the updates are done. It crashes after doing just a few files. Started with 40 files at a time, crashed. Empty folder cache. Tried with 20 files, worked for a few times then crashed again. Tried 10 files and it crashed immediately. I found directions online (unfortunately it was for CS5, but I assume it's similar to CC). Any ideas on what to do differently? I really need to get these photos renamed and to a client tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any help.

Video card is updated, though I've been getting an error message on it.
I'm not sure what this should have to do with your batch rename problem. Your specs seem more then sufficient and batch renaming does only save the files you already have cached.
First check if you have enough free space left on your disk (at least 10 - 15 % free space is needed for good operation of your system and apps) and also try to reset preferences for Bridge by holding down contrl key while restarting Bridge. Check reset preferences from the pop up window and try again.

One-click 'Save as jpeg' shortcut script please! - saved in the same folder

Hi, I've been re-directed here because I was told a script could solve my problems - but I have no scripting experience/knowledge/ability! Below is my original problem and post. I got as close as 2 button presses, but I'm after that sweet, sweet single-button, double-my-productivity shortcut! Thanks!
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1106992
I use 'Save as .jpeg' ALL the time (Photoshop CS6, Mac ML), and it really feels like I should just be able to press one button (a shortcut) and the name/quality dialogs don't appear and it just saves a .jpeg into the folder that my original .PSD/file is in.
So basically:
- Press one button to save my open .PSD/file as a .jpeg
- Automatically save it in the same folder as my .PSD
- Save it as '10' quality in the jpeg settings
- No dialog boxes, as soon as I press the button, it saves it - if there's already a .jpeg of the same name, it creates a '-1','-2' etc.
I've tried using 'Actions', but it seems to save it wherever my original Action folder was - it doesn't change to whatever the current folder the .PSD is in...
Thanks!
Adam

File -> Scripts -> Script Events Manager
Click Enable Events at the top
Select Save Document from Photoshop Event drop down
Select Save Extra JPEG from Script drop down
Click Add
Click Done
EVERY document you save, except JPEG files, will save a jpg file. Saving will be slower.
You will need to modify line 62 of the Save Extra JPEG.jsx file located here: <YOUR_PHOTOSHOP_INSTALL_LOCATION>\Presets\Scripts\Event Scripts Only
In order to boost your quality to '10'. Here is the line in question
jpegOptions.quality = 2; // really low
Change it to
jpegOptions.quality = 10; // really high
You will need to modify the script to get this problem solved as well: it saves it - if there's already a .jpeg of the same name, it creates a '-1','-2' etc.
You can steal code out of Image Processor that finds a file name that is unique for the folder so you don't get overwrites.
Are you sure you want that? If you do lots of saves you are going to fill up your disk fast.
