Batching Raw Files

Has anyone batched Raw files on a MBP. The last wedding I shot (First all digital) I batched 350 Raw files in Capture One Pro on a 800mhz eMac, it took 38 hours. I shot with a borrowed Nikon D1X. That is not the way I want my next shoot to go. So I bought a 1.83 MBP.
Any photographers out there let me know what to expect.

Yes if you are using PS6 and creating actions, moving to PS7 is about the same. The droplets do not work that well in PS7. When you goto CS it just works.
(to create droplet do this).
Goto window open actions.
In actions box - dropdown arrow create new action.
do what you want to a image and it will record it.
Hit the square to stop recording.
Step 2.
File automate - create droplet
save droplet to desktop
select where you want the finished product to go (I like desktop)
click done.
Now take one image out of a folder or multiple and drop them on the droplet and it will apply the changes to all images.

No changes appear when batch editing Camera Raw Files and saving as jpegs

When I batch edit my raw files, including saving the file as a jpeg, from bridge or photoshop the resulting file saved never includes any changes I made in the Camera Raw editor. For example if I have lightened the photo by changing the exposure in Camera Raw as a saved jpeg after batching the file is still as dark as when originally shot. Is there some little box I forgot to check or something? Thanks!

I've seen something like this, but have not figured out why yet. In my situation I select a group of images in Bridge and go to Tools / Photoshop / Image Processor.
There I click the "open first image to apply settings" box.
Save in Same Location
Save as JPEG, resize to fit (1200 pixels), Convert Profile to sRGB.
No Action selected
Include ICC Profile
Run it and in Camera Raw roll the saturation down to -100 (convert to b&W).
Click "Open Image"
The process runs and the first image is converted to b&w, but the others are not.

Batch Rename Raw Files After Import?

Can you batch rename raw files after you import, so that the file name changes in Aperture and on the hard drive? I want to be able to edit images, and then rename only the keepers. This has been asked before here, but I could not find an answer.
Thanks!

File -> Export, Kind: Original
When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a jepg preview of the file. Why? Because you cannot do anything with a Raw: you cannot print it, use it a slideshow and so on. However, with this preview you can work with the photo immediately.
You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.
Aperture works in an entirely different way. What are you trying to do, exactly?

Is there a way to batch process color corrected RAW files to tif files?

I got over 160 color corrected RAW files from my photographer when I thought I was getting TIf or PSD files. I need to put them into an indesign doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done? I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need ot do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so no idea how to best go about this, or if I even can. Please help. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64

An easy way is to open Bridge, select the images then click on Tools/Image processor. You can then save as jpg, psd, or tiff.
Hope this helps.

Edit:
Glad to hear you got it working.
I'll just leave what i had put here anyway.
You want Program Files (x86)
That's where the 32 bit programs such as photoshop cs3 are on a windows 7 64 bit system.
Also, in bridge cs3 under Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails ensure Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Jpeg and Tiff files is checked.
(then restart bridge cs3)

How convert raw files to jpgs in batches quickly

I have hundreds of photos I need to use in Indesign. I can't place RAW files and all the jogs my photographer gave me are way too small. I need to process out loads of big high res files so I can use them. Is there a way to convert them all to jpgs at once? I've tried batching and I'm not doing it right since its' not working.

See if File>Scripts>Image Processor does what you want.

Raw files & batch resizing

Photoshop CS2 & CS3 will not open my NEF raw files {Nikon D300}. Both versions have always opened my raw files. Also, CS3 locks up when I batch resize jpgs.

Out of curiosity, are the images remaining open in Photoshop as the batch is processing them, or are they closing one by one?
If the former, you may just be overwhelming Photoshop CS3's abilities to maintain many open documents. You might be able to correct that by adding a document close operation in the action you're batching.
Another thought is this: Recent versions come with a script called Image Processor, which sounds like it can do what you want. What I don't remember is whether Photoshop CS3 had Image Processor.
If this kind of work is common for you, and especially if you're seeing things break when trying to process a lot of data, you should consider upgrading your computer, your operating system, and your Photoshop to modern 64 bit standards. All these things have made great strides in power and reliability in the last decade since 32 bit computers with only a few gigabytes of RAM and Photoshop CS3 were current.
Another possibility, if you're not wanting to go down that road right away, might be to use another tool to do your resizing. As one example, the free program IrfanView (for PC) can easily be set up to extract raw file preview JPEGs and to do batch resizing and format conversions.

Batch processing web pages from jpgs made from color corrected Camera Raw files

I processed and color corrected a set of photos shot in camera raw, then saved as tiffs. Then I set Photoshop to Batch process them into a web slide show. The images turned out looking like the raw files before processing....kind of desaturated, since they were shot on a grey day. So then i re-saved the raw files as jpgs and hypersaturated them to see if that would produce better results, but it did not. They looked almost as grey as the original raw files. I usually add saturation to files that will end up on the web, because ImageReady always seems to desaturate color.
I'm running Mac OS4.1 and CS2.
Thanks, Suzanne

Suzanne,
Try
converting your images to the sRGB color space before processing and/or saving them for web display. ALWAYS. Remember to use CONVERT to profile not
assign

Batch RAW conversion: no sidecar XMP files

When I open and save a RAW file as a JPEG by hand, I always get a XMP file that tells me the RAW settings. Actually the XMP is generated as soon as I "open" the RAW file in PS. When I do the exact same steps in a batched action, no XMP files result. I just painfully batch converted 4000 RAW files, no XMP files showed up. Ran some test cases, manually doing the steps result in a XMP file, batching them doesn't. Why doesn't PS generate the XMP files?
One thing I worry about is what RAW settings were applied to my files. Without the XMP files it's very hard to check. Some settings, like noise reduction and saturation, are pretty subtle and hard to determine w/o a "with" and "without" comparision. In theory the XMP files would let me detemine exactly what settings were applied.
This is for Windows XP, CS3, latest RAW update downloaded a few days ago.

For the case of DNG files with both internal XMP and a sidecar file, Camera Raw picks the file with the newer OS modification date/time.
Adobe does not support sidecar XMP files for JPEG or TIFF files.
It is fairly trivial to write computer programs to exact XMP from files, so yes, it is "possible". You can save the XMP out of any opened file in Photoshop CS3's get info dialog in advanced mode (see the save button at the bottom).

Convert batch of RAW files to JPEG

How do you convert a batch of Nikon RAW files to JPEG's in Photoshop CS2?

Use the Image Processor.
I think it was there in CS2, if not you can download it from http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html#new

Does Adobe offer an app to perform a batch conversion from Canon CR.2 raw files to TIFF files?

Apply Adobe Photoshop to astrophotography requires numerous images to be converted from a raw CR.2 file to TIFF files. Does Adobe offer an app to perform a batch conversion from Canon CR.2 raw files to TIFF files?
Thanks.

Note the option to open the first file and apply settings.
Personally, I'd be nervous of batch processing RAW files because they can need significantly different treatments file to file, but it is doable. I would assume that Image Processor would allow the XML sidecar files, so you would have the option of looking through and fine tuning any files that were not up to scratch.
You do not need to use that option. There are two other options. If the RAW file has never been process by ACR then ACR would use your defaults for the cameras used no ACR dialog UI will display. If the RAW file has been process by ACR there are ACR settings either in you ACR database or in your RAW files sidecar files in the same folder as the raw file these will be used.
I will often use the Bridge to process groups of RAW image files that look like they have similar exposures looking at the thumbnails the bridge displays. ACR will open for the group of RAW files. I will process one RAW file and sync the settings to the other image in the group. I may also make other ACR setting for some in the group like crops or spot healing for dust that may be in some sykes because my sensor needed cleaning. When I'm done all I do is click on the DONE button in ACR so it will save out ACR setting for all the raw files in the group. No image files are saved. When I use the image processor script I never use the open first RAW option and the Automate Image Processor Pro plug-in script does not have that option open first RAW in ACR and use the setting set for all other RAW files..

Batch convert Raw files to DNG via Library's convert to DNG issue

I have LR 4.4 running on a Win 7 64 bit PC...
I selected 4 RAW files (CR2) to convert to DNG via the Library modules 'convert to DNG' and then delete the CR2 file.
It converted only the last of the 4 files and left the other 3 untouched as CR2 files. Can LR not batch convert the RAW files in this manner??
Dave

I tried again to convert the remaining 3 CR2 files to DNG by selecting the 1st file and shift clicking on the 3rd file in the film strip and then via 'Library-Convert photo to DNG. I have Delete originals after conversion checked.
This time it converted the 1st file and left the other 2 unchanged. It seems to perform the operation on the 1st file selected...the first time when I tried this on the 4 original files I had clicked on the last file and then shift clicked on the first on in the series.
BTW...I have LR4.4, Win 7 64-bit, 16G ram, Pentium 7...
For what it's worth, I also noticed that when I "round-trip" a file to CS6 and then SAVE the file it should bring me back to LR with the new file placed next to the old one in LR. Mine does not. The new file is not shown and I have to synch and add photo's to have it show in LR. Another issue...
Thanks for checking on your end. I suspected LR should properly batch the conversion as it did for you and that I had an issue. With the Nik suite and Perfect Effects 4 installed I'm hoping not to have to do a complete uninstall/reinstall...what a pain (sigh).

How can I batch process CR2 raw files to tif's without losing color adjustments?

Working in BRidge and Photoshop CS6:
I have 160 color adjusted hi-res CR2 RAW files from my photographer, thought I was getting tifs. I need tifs for my INdesign file. I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap. Please help.

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:

Open RAW file as linked layer

Hi!
I know that when I open a RAW file as a smart object in PS I can convert it to a linked layer afterwards. But during that PS asks me where to save the RAW file.
Now that seems terribly inefficient to me as I already have the RAW on my hard disk (where I just opened it) and I don't want to create another copy of it.
So is there some way that I can open the RAW file so that it is linked to the original from the start? And I certainly don't want to overwrite the original RAW file with the one extracted from the smart object (I don't like touching originals, messes up backup etc.).

I'm half way there, but stuck at:
Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
Any help would really be appreciated.
I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.
