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:

>
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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • How to batch resize in Bridge CS6 or Image Processor using height only?

    I have batches of images that need to resized based on height only and would like to do so using Bridge/Image Processor. My height requirement is 1140px, however the original images are varied in landscape/portrait orientation and are of different aspect ratios (2:3, 3:4, etc). So far what I have had to do is filter in Bridge just the landscape images then select an aspect ratio, then plug into Image Processor the exact pixel dimensions of the resized images (that I discovered using Photoshop to resize and check the resulting pixel dimension). There has to be a more efficient way.
    An example of what I am running into:
    Image 1
    Original file = 5616 h x 3744 w Portrait orientation
    Resized file = 1140 h x 760 w
    Image 2
    Original file = 3744 h x 5616 w Landscape
    Resized file = 1140 h x 1710 w
    Image 3
    Original file = 4652 h x 3489 w Portrait
    Resized file = 1140 h x 855 w
    From that example, is there a way I can plug just the height number in Image Processor (or any other Photoshop utility) so I can just batch out a bunch of images all at once?
    FYI - I am not interested in buying any new software such as Lightroom to accomplish this task. I would like to remain within Photoshop/Bridge if possible.

    You can do what you want with Image Processor without a script.  All you have to do is enter the number of pixels you want for the height (1140 pixels in your case) and then enter a number for the width that is wider than any image you will process.  Image processor will always resize the images to fit inside this rectangle.  That is, the height will always be 1140 and the width will fall where it may.  It works like the Fit Image command in Photoshop.

  • Problems with Image Processor in Bridge CS5

    I just installed Photoshop and Bridge CS5, and I'm having a couple of problems. First, I can't update to Bridge 4.02. I've downloaded the installer and tried to run it, but I get an error message. All it says is that it can't run the update. The same thing with the Camera Raw updater. The most immediate problem I'm having is that Image Processor in CS5 seems to run differently from how it runs in CS4. Specifically, if I select a bunch of files in Bridge, and ask Image Processor to run an action on them and save to the same location, which is what I've been doing ever since CS2, it opens the files in Photoshop, and leaves them open. This means that pretty soon I've got far too many fiiles open, and my Mac can't cope with it (an iMac Core Duo 2.16Ghz with 4 GB of ram). It also gives me an error message at the end saying it can't process the relevant files, even though it has processed them! In previous versions of Image Processor, it would open the files to run the action, convert to sRGB, etc. and then close each one after saving it to a new folder named "JPEG". How can I get the latest version to behave like this?

    Nevermind... I restarted Flash and it miragically appeared! Yay CS5!

  • 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!

  • 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).

  • Image processor - rotate to fit?

    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.

    It is still there as it was in the lost couple of version as I try to
    recall. Open an image, choose File/Automate/Fit Image and you can fill in
    the constrain proportions.
    You can record this in an action to run a batch.
    However, it is very, very easy to select landscape and portrait images in
    Bridge using the filter panel and inhere choose orientation. Click on
    landscape and all landscape orientated images show, select them and run a
    batch using the menu tools/Photoshop/batch.
    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

  • Image Processor bug causes PS to crash (CS5, 12.0.4, Win7x64) -

    Hi,
    I'm trying to process 64 RAW files using Image Processor, and I noticed that Photoshop (x64, I don't have the 32-bit version installed) never closes any of the files after it has processed them. This causes the RAM to fill, and eventually Photoshop to crash. I tried both via Bridge (Tools --> Photoshop --> Image Processor), and Photoshop itself. I have a new system with 8GB RAM, and when I start up Image Processor, Task Manager tells me PS eats away 6.5-7GB of it during the first minute. Shortly after PS crashes.
    My updates are up-to-date according to the update manager. I haven't had this problem ever before, so the cause must be the 12.0.4 update (or the one before it). Is there a workaround or an update on the way? Maybe this is a known bug. I found out that people have experienced the same behaviour with CS4.
    Kind regards,
    Kimmo

    Sorry for the delay in response; the Adobe server for logging in was down for hours.
    The reason I'm on the latest drivers is that I made a clean install of Windows 7 a couple of days back.
    Regarding the Intel driver I mentioned I downloaded: I had to go another route; the Intel driver "was not validated for this system", so I had to get the latest driver from the manufacturer of the computer -- which kind of sucks, to be honest. Well, anyways, the driver version from the manufacturer is the same I had from Windows Update (i.e. not the latest possible), but I went and installed it anyway -- thinking that maybe it's been "customized" somehow...
    Unfortunately it brought no change. Action B still accumulates files while others do not.
    I should clarify that the reason why the "Wood Frame" kept accumulating files in the PS main window was that it never finished the process. I tried it to run on pictures that were larger than what it was designed for and thus it stopped mid-process and left the window open.
    (BTW: I'm talking about windows and tabs interchangeably here)
    "Action B", as I've called it in this thread, does generate a final, processed JPEG, but apparently it doesn't return a confirmation of it finishing to the Image Processor. Without Image Processor knowing that the script finished successfully it leaves the file open.
    I see that in File --> Automate --> Batch it is possible to have the process "Save and Close" each file it processes. Maybe it would be beneficial to have a similar function for Image Processor. And not only "just in case" -- the user might actually want to leave all the files open, who knows, but in situations like these a forced closing of a file -- be it finished or not -- would be nice.
    I would also like to point out to other people reading this thread that, while this problem can be fixed by simply remaking the troublesome action, I feel finding the cause for it would benefit a lot of people too. Maybe the action was corrupted somehow, maybe PS 12.0.4. has a bug that makes my "Action B" from 11/2011 incompatible -- would be nice to know, huh?

  • Droplet to send images to Image Processor from Mac Finder?

    Is there a way to create droplet that will just send whatever images you drop on it to the Photoshop Image Processor script?
    Basically the same thing that happens when you select images from Bridge and select Image Processor from the Tools > Photoshop menu.
    I'd just like a way to do that via drag and drop from the Finder.
    Thanks.

    No, Bridge can communicate with Photoshop to send a list of the selected files, this can not be done with a droplet

  • Batch Action through Image Processor Leaves Files Open in CS4

    I am not sure if this is a change in CS4 or something that I am doing incorrectly. But when I run Bridge CS4 < Photoshop < Image Processor (running an action that I have been running since CS2) the files do not close in photoshop after running the action. In all prior versions of PSCS#, photoshop closed the file after finishing the action. The files all save properly. But having hundreds of files opened inside of photoshop causes the scratch disk to go low and slows everything down.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I haven't experienced that problem. But a related annoying problem with batch actions in CS4 is that if I minimize Photoshop while a batch action is running, the program interface minimizes, but the images open and close on the desktop still. In prior versions of PS, I could minimize the program and the batch action would go on in the background, invisible to me, while I could do other tasks. But now, when I run a batch to convert over 1000 files, each one pops open on the desktop, in front of any other open app's windows. It then closes and the next one opens, etc. Which means my computer is unusableduring any batch command.
    Very annoying! How could the QA and beta testers have not noticed this?

  • Image Processor Tab Missing in New Adobe Bridge CC 2014

    In the new Bridge CC you used to have a TAB under tools called Photoshop which you could run the script Image Processor for easily processing jpegs. What has happened to this and is their maybe a new way of processing jpegs to lo-res that I dont know about from tiff or jpeg or does my bridge have a problem?
    I have attached a image grab from my bridge that shows that the tab is not there. I know that you can access image processor directly from Photoshop, but they used to always be linked.

    No, it is still in Bridge CC.
    Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014? If so, that may have removed some of the Bridge integration scripts by mistake. Re-installing Photoshop CC 2014 should replace the scripts.
    and it should give the image processor tab back

  • How do I fix an access rights error when launching Image Processor in Adobe Bridge CC?

    Often when I am working on files and want to batch process Jpegs for clients I get an error message from Image Processor.  It will state "I am unable to create a file in this folder.  Please check your access rights to this location ...."
    I have cleared cache and up'd my history levels.  I checked to make sure the files were not locked and read/write was enabled.  I am not sure why this error keeps occurring.  I am using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.2.2 release) with Adobe Bridge CC (6.1.0.115)

  • Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

    I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
    Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
    Thanks, Larry

    Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences.  Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start.  You should get a reset window with 3 options.

  • Image processor from Bridge problem

    ONe of most annoying things with Bridge is that often, image processor wont open from Bridge -- unless you quit out and relaunch Bridge -- quite a hassle.

    You are absolutely correct. In order to pass selected images in bridge over to photoshop, you need to invoke IP from within Bridge. I didn't make that connection from your earlier post.
    So your original request makes sense. Personally, I would rather see an improvement in Image Processor (as well as the Batch dialog) that allowed one to specify the source as "Bridge".
    In photoshop 7, in the batch dialog, you could specify the source of the files to be batched as "Open Files", "folder", or "File Browser". If you choose File Browser, the batch action will be performed on files selected within FB.
    In CS2, in the batch dialog, you can see Bridge as an option, but it's grayed out. You can only invoke the Batch operation on files selected in Bridge from within Bridge - a serious shortcoming.
    The same theme holds true for Image Processor, and indeed, it looks like most of the scripts behave that way.
    So rather than have a shortcut, I would like, as I say, the ability to specify bridge as a source in the dialog boxes for the image processor and batch dialogs.
