Bridge to Photoshop Image Processor won't run

I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended - V 10.0.1 and Bridge V 2.1.1.9
I'm trying to run some photos through Image Processor via Bridge. After selecting all of the photos, selecting Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor, Photoshop opens, but the Image Processor doesn't run.
I've tried processing other photos in other folders and it works fine. Then I tried processing the problematic folder on a different computer with no luck. There just seems to be an issue with this group of photos.
I check the information on the photos and they're not locked or anything. I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas?

Try run the Image Processor directly from Photoshop menu File->Scripting. See if you can select the folder and run the processing.
What is the special with that folder? such as size, permission, special name or special file?

CS6 Image Processor won't run

My company just updated our systems to CS6. I use the batch processing of the Image Processor a LOT, day to day.
Everytime I try to run it now, I get "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop".
The folder is full of jpgs....which open just fine in photoshop if I open them manually.
I've reset the settings file, rebooted my machine, still won't run.
Can anyone offer any help? Photoshop seems to be working fine on it's own, I'm only having trouble with the Image Processor :\

Problem with Adobe BRIDGE getting Photoshop/Image Processor menu

When I open my drop-down or fly-out menu under TOOLS in Bridge (CS3 version), the entire portion of the menu which is supposed to appear next underneath the Cache line option is missing (i.e., Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Start Meeting..., Photoshop services).
What gives?
I'm trying to get to Image Processor under the Photoshop menu option (which is supposed to appear in the Tools drop-down menu).
Please tell me what's wrong. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but there IS no Photoshop subheading in my Tools menu.
That exactly describes the problem I'm having!

Image Processor won't run action correctly

I have CS6 (CC) on a Mac (2013). I wrote an action for saving my work. In my normal .psd file, I use multiple layers for editing, etc. I also use a group folder for my B&W conversion. I made an action to utilize the saved .psd file to save both the color and the B&W versions. The B&W action works completely fine. However, the Image Processor will not properly run the color action. It tells me that "The object “layer “B&W”” is not currently available." If I open a .psd file and run it manually, there are no issues.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to change to have the IP correctly run the action?
Thank you!

Oops...sorry...I guess that would help.

Rotate to fit / photoshop image processor

Anyone know what happened to the Rotate to Fit feature in bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor? I have to make several web photo galleries and this most important feature seems to be missing with CS4.

To clarify - older photoshop (or bridge) programs, you could put in the dimensions you wanted and check a checkbox that said something like "rotate to fit". So if I entered 400x600px, then photoshop would make Portrait images 600 tall x 400 wide, and Landscape image 600 wide by 400 tall.
Photoshop CS4 doesn't have that option so I have to go through all of my images, select all the landscape images, put in 600 wide x 400 tall, and run the script. Then gotta Go Back... select all of the Portrait images.. and run the script again but this time for 600 tall x 400 wide. Such a pain - gotta be a better way just haven't found it yet! help!

Updated to new 2014 cc. In bridge when I go to tools/Photoshop/Image Processor....I get this message "adobe photoshop 2014 CC has quit working" Anyone have a fix for this??

updated to new 2014 cc. In bridge when I go to tools/Photoshop/Image Processor....I get this message "adobe photoshop 2014 CC has quit working" Anyone have a fix for this??

I use a windows 7 pro and have no problem like that from bridge cc when I select a thumbnail then use menu Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor.. I see Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 start up then I see the Image processor dialog and that one file is selected in the bridge I the complete the dialog and click run. The image files are created. Photoshop remains open after the image files are create with no open documents. I need to click on the bridge in the task bar to bring bridge back into focus.
What does you system configuration?

Adobe Bridge CS3 not opening Photoshop Image Processor

I selected one, four, and multiple pictures in Bridge to reduce the file size of jpgs. I went to Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor. Nothing happened. Photoshop did not open. That got me to thinking that sometimes while I am in Photoshop Bridge won't open either. Any ideas on resolving issue of "Bridge not opening Photoshop Image Processor" would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Curt Y, Everything is checked in the "Startup Scripts," including Bridge (twice) and Photoshop (twice). Not sure why duplicate entries but there are.
If you mean that you have two of the same versions (both CS3) in there that indicates there is something wrong with your install
If you have any suggestions regarding being able to access the Image Processor to resize pictures and such without first opening Photoshop, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, the work around will have to suffice.
My first goal would be to reset the preferences for both PS and Bridge and then try again
see also this KB document, section preferences reset:

And inhere also info on how to retrieve your path for cache to manual delete it.

When in Bridge, my image processor won't work anymore

When I am in Bridge I go to Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor and the dialog box doesn't come up anymore. It does nothing. I use Creative Cloud and all plugins are updated. Help!

I once had functions like Photomerge go kablooey when I uninstalled Photoshop CC (once I was comfortable using Photoshop CC 2014). A complete uninstall and reinstall fixed it.
Do any of the other Photoshop tools function properly?

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

File Place does not appear on my menu. Neither does Tools Photoshop Image processor.

In Bridge File>Place is grayed out on my menu. Tools>Photoshop>Image processor does not appear at all. I have reset the preferences numerous times and am good to go until I shut down my computer. When I reboot they are gone again. I have a Mac with OS 10.10.2 (Yosemite) and CC.

Well, that's fine for the OS, but sometimes not so great for Photoshop. Try QUITTING Photoshop from the Photoshop menu, or by Command Q, before you get anywhere near your Apple menu .
Gene gave you sound advice, but don't forget to run Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility before and after any installation, upgrade or update of the OS or any application.
You'd think that shouldn't be necessary, but it is indeed vital, indispensable routine maintenance.
Forget about "it had never happened before", Yosemite is a work in progress. Apple never gets a major OS X release right until about the dot four or five release, so Yosemite has a way to go before it's at 10.10.4 or 10.10.5. That has proven to be the nature of the beast.

Bridge to PS image processor

I've done a bit of searching but this is what I'm trying to do:
I have 9 folders (unit 01, 02, etc.) with CS3 .eps files in them. I want to rasterize these files in PS CS3. I would like to use the tools>photoshop>image processor from Bridge to do so. I was successful at setting it up but the resolution was only 72 dpi. I need a 200 dpi Lambda profile TIFF. I was able to set up an action in PS to flatten and set the Lambda profile, which I could also run from the image processor dialog - but how do I adjust the dpi?
Thanks

>I mean View>Actual Pixels.
Then, of course, you will see side-stepping pixels in your rasterized image that you would not see in a Vector image.
What does it look like at actual "Print Size"?
6050 x 3051 pixels would produce a print of 23.8" x 12" at 254 ppi. Is that big enough or should you be creating a larger image?
Talk to your people to see if they can run from a PDF (which would retain the vectors and only rasterize them on output at the full DPI of the Durst Lambda) but it does seem that you may need to supply a Tiff and this Info. might be helpful from:
http://www.chromatics.com/Serv-PhotoPrints.htm#PreparingFiles
>
Preparing files for Lambda-Direct self-service printing
>Files for Lambda-Direct prints are imaged "as received" with no adjustments. We accept tiff and JPEG files.
For predictable results, you must be using full color-management with Photoshop 6, 7 or CS and an accurately profiled monitor using one of our printer profiles for soft-proofing. These are basic tools required for preparing files for this service and we cannot be responsible for poor results if your system is not fully compliant. Sources of good information on monitor profiling and colorimeters are X-Rite , Colorvision and Dry Creek Photo.
Files should be saved at 254 ppi at the final image size you need, saved in a standard color space, like Adobe1998 RGB, ColorMatch RGB, sRGB, ProPhoto RGB or CMYK (swop2) and tagged accordingly.
Do not convert your files to our printer profiles and do not tag your files with our printer profiles. Use our printer profiles only for soft-proofing, then save your file in one of the standard color spaces.>
So, basically:
Prepare a Tiff file for full output-size at 254 ppi.
Use the Lambda Profiles (which you can get here):
http://www.chromatics.com/sidebar-Profiles.htm
for Soft Proofing ONLY.
But retain the Tiff in a recognized and tagged RGB space and let your Lambda operator apply the correct Profile in the "Print" dialog.

Photoshop Image Processor error

I'm trying to resize some images using Bridge (which I've done several times before) but this time, for some reason, it's giving me an error. This is what I'm doing: 1) click on large size JPEG. 2) under Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor > Save as JPEG > Run 3) a window pops up saying: Sorry, something major happened and I can't continue! Would you like to see more info? 4) when I hit "Yes", another window pops open saying: Error: General Photoshop error occurred. - <no additional information available> : 1344 What am I doing wrong or different and how can I fix this? HELP!

Update: I actually spoke with a Nik filter tech about this problem, because after I had her put Nik filters in the right places, the "Window does not have a constructor" error came back, and reinstalling the SL update did not work this time. She said they have seen others with similar issues using SL. If I use a different administrator account, everything works fine.
So, this appears to be a SN problem. Hope they are working on an update!

Photoshop Image Processor?

I have become accustomed to running some Sharpening Actions from Bridge using the Photoshop Image Processor feature. Is anything like this possible through Lightroom?
Thanks,

2 alternatives for you...
1. Allow Lightroom to export, and then run the sharpening on the
resulting files. There's a quick tutorial here
http://www.photoshopservices.co.uk/lightroom/droplets.htm. Whilst you
could export to psd and then let your droplet convert to jpeg after
sharpening, that will take a lot more processing power than going
straight to jpeg, and it's probably not worth it in a real world
environment. Saving as top quality jpeg twice is not going to kill your
file. (Test it!)
2. Alternatively, do all your colour correction in LR, save the changes
to XMP sidecar files, and then find them in Bridge with either CS2/ACR
3.7 or CS3/ACR4 and run Image Processor as you usually would. This
would just open and save each file once, as it does in your current
workflow.

How to stop the Photoshop Image Processor.

I am using the Photoshop Image Processor in Bridge to shrink a large png sequence. But I started the process with the incorrect parameters. How do I stop the Processor once it has started?

If escape key does not work do not know how to undo. Hopefully you have a backup.

Tools Photoshop Image Processor NG (CS5)

From within Bridge CS5, the Image Processor does not bring up the options window.
From within Bridge, if I select some images and then do: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...
The next screen does not come up. Nothing happens.... the main menu goes gray, but nothing else happens. No other window pops up.
In CS2 (I know, I'm a late adopter) the what-to-do with the selected images window pops up.
Thanks,
Drew

I am on CS3 and will move to CS5 soon, once the initial frenzy dies. But you say you do this: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...
The next screen does not come up. Nothing happens.... the main menu goes gray, but nothing else happens. No other window pops up.
When you click on Image Processor Photoshop should load and then you get the Image Processor Menu. Does it do this and then the Image Processor menu items are gray, so don't you get that far?
Can you load the Image Processor from Photoshop? (file/scripts/image processsor).
