Can Photoshop Convert Selected File-types From a Folder Full of Files?

I have a folder with approximately 20,000 files in it. The files are a mix of eps, tif, jpg, and PSD files. I want to convert all the eps files to tifs. For now I've created a folder into which I move approximately 500 eps files at a time (that I manually select) and then run a batch action I created to convert them. This works fine but you can imagine how long this process will take (moving, converting, emptying the folder, moving 500 more files, and so on). I'd like to know if there's a way, either within an action or the batch command (or possibly a script or even some other way) that Photoshop would select only the eps files to convert. I could let it run overnight if it were possible.
I'm using Photoshop CC on a Mac running 10.6.8 with 7GB RAM.
Thanks,
Lloyd

I'm not sure about EPS files but the rest can be taken care of via File > Scripts > Image Processor. I'm pretty sure that EPS files can't be handled by Image Processor though.

Missing VOB file type from pull down list of file formats

All of a sudden I can no longer import vob files. This had been working fine, but then I installed Encore, updated everything (Premiere shows version 4.1.0) and now the vob files I had previously inported are no longer recognized and a vob file type no longer shows up on the pull down list of file types that can be inported.
Any suggestions?

Does any MPEG variant still show up, for instance in the Sequence Presets does it show HDV, XDCAM, or similar?
If not, you have been bitten by the Installer Bug.
Many have experienced problems in the sense that after updating, their full version reverts to trial status. Often this is caused by either a faulty installation previously or having used at one time the trial version. The best solution, cumbersome and time consuming, is to uninstall, run the CleanScript 2 or 3 times and reinstall and then apply the updates again.

How to load ONE file automatically from a folder containing sequential files?

I have pictures that is taken every 2 or 3 minutes and then dumped into a file folder with sequentail number as file names.
Now I want to find a routine to automatically check the last picture and load it into labview.
Please be aware that I already have other hardware to acquire images and store them in the computer, any advice with using other I/O device is appreciated , but not needed.

How to delete a specific file type from a folder

Hi,
I have folders with lots of zip or rar files, once I decompress those I want to delete the compressed files specifically. Is there any way I could manage that through Automator?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Niel for the script, unfortunately I am too ignorant about running these on my own, I did save it in my user script library, but I would need instructions to run it. I would be really grateful.
I did try making up my own workflow using the given actions in Automator, the first action was to 'find specific files in finder' ending with .zip and .rar and then choosing another action which 'moves selected files to trash'. Unfortunately it ended up running only if I specify the path to the specific .zip file, which defeats the purpose. Any suggestions on the proposed workflow? Thanks in advance.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

And even if you could, it wouldn't be worth it. Raw files are 12-bit (or more) with much higher dymanic range than jpegs. The result is that (in the original raw file) you have flexibility to change white balance, change tone curve, recover detail from highlights and shadows in ways you can't with 8-bit (usually lossy-compressed) data in jpegs. But having thrown that extra information away to create a jpeg, you can't get it back. It would technically be possible to convert that jpeg data into raw format, but you would gain nothing by doing so and end up with a file much larger than the jpeg. In fact if this theoretical conversion went the whole way to re-create a Bayer sensor array of data, you'd be throwing away resolution.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores. Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

You can use the Function module PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME
export paramter extension will tell the type of file
Sample Output
Import     COMPLETE_FILENAME     C:\TEST.TXT
Import     CHECK_DOS_FORMAT
Export     DRIVE     C
Export     EXTENSION     TXT
Export     NAME     TEST

Getting the file type from a placed file

Hi
I am trying to get the file type from items placed on a page. I know the types available has one of the three interfaces "IImageAttributes", "IEPSAttributes" or "IPDFAttributes", but how can i test whether the placed image is a TIF, JPG ... Of course i could test on the suffix or the file type (mac), but that isnt "secure" enough, since InDesign can place files with no filetype or extension, if they are in an importable format.
What I want in short, is to read the filetype shown in the Info palette, any one knows how to do this?
Jon

Thanks, I did take a look in these interfaces, but that didnt solve the problem for eps, pdf and other none raster types.
Instead I found the:
IDataLink->GetNameInfo()
Which gives me the string from the Info palette.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC?

Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC and ensure that it is synced automatically? For example, if I add or modify a file in that folder it should be added to iTunes automatically. At the same time the original files in the folder should not be re-organized. That is can I just point to a music folder in my hard drive and sit back for iTunes to do the rest?
