Can't process multiple files on one of three catalogs

After getting straightened out about getting my catalogs in order, which I've done, I've run into another problem. I have three catalogs one for People, one for Things and one I call Workplace where I try out things that are new to me so I don't mess up my main catalogs.
I've straightened out the files in my Things catalog. I have one catagory that contains images of autograph book pages from the late 1800s. Those scans were done in JPEG some time ago. I've tried using multiple processing to change these 55 images to psd in the original file to be consistent with the rest of the catalog. Each time the process fails.
In order to see what the problem might be I have copied the catagory file into both of my other catalogs and have been able to process the catagory file back into itself as psd. I have also created another small file in the Things catalog and tried to convert it and had the same result. The warning info box that appears when copying back into the same file states that the original files will be overwritten. The psd files do not overwrite the jpg files. They are added to the original file. That may be the way it is intended to be. That's not a real problem.
The real question is why can't I process multiple files in the original catalog. I have looked at the error file and, although I don't know much about most of it, I found the following in the first part of the file.
crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
I run XP SP3 and PSE 8. I am a single user with administrator rights. I find no mention of a  permission filter in the PSE 8 program.
I'm stuck until I solve this problem and I need help getting it done. Any suggestions or information will be greatly appreciated.

One thing to try : instead of using 'process multiple files', can you use the 'export' feature in the Organizer to export the jpegs of that category in psd format into a new folder ?

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,

  • Possible to process multiple files from one folder?

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario where four files with different structures will generarted at a folder and these four files need to pick up and process them to find dublicates and merge them... Is it possible? How BODS will identify these four files as they have different strucutres?? Please suggest.
    Thanks
    RAJEEV

    Hi Rajeev,
    Only if the structures are the same then you can use wildcards in the filename.  Do your files have a header record ? If yes, then it's a really quick and easy job to create four file formats since BODS will generate most of the field names and datatypes using the header récord and sample data, once it locates the file and you specify to skip the header record.
    If you really wanted to have only one file format then you would need to define it with a single very long varchar field and then do the parsing of the single long string manually in a Query for each file, using the filename to identify which file structure it is.  Way more work and not an elegant solution.

  • Process Multiple Files in PSE7 - o/p files to Organizer?

    I'm using PSE7.
    When I run 'Process Multiple Files' from the File menu in Editor I
    can create a new set of jpegs. For example, I can run them through
    the Quick Fix processes. If I create new files as output rather than
    overwriting the originals, is there a way that I can get those new files
    back into Organizer automatically?
    And the follow up questions would be
    1) Do the original tags all get retained in the new files?
    2) Can the new files be part of a version set with the originals?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Thanks!
    From what I can tell Process Multiple Files allows input from three places:
    1. A folder. 2. Import (like a scanner?) 3. Open files.
    So it might be nice if it had a 4th option that would allow files to come out
    of Organizer via tags, albums, etc. And if that option was chosen then it
    would be nice to save the tags, and create version sets optionally.
    But my guess is that from a product design perspective the thinking is
    that most people would rather work in Organizer and then perform
    actions on a logical set of photos from there. Certainly, that would be my
    preference.
    What I'd like to do is do be in Organizer, select my images via tag(s),
    run QuickFix on them, (all of that I can do), then reduce the file size,
    and save the finished product as a version set. Then only thing I can't do
    in PSE7 is reduce the file size. Of if there is I don't know how to do
    it automatically.
    Well, thanks for the help!

  • How can I scan multiple pages to one file with MG 7120

    My printer does not have ADF. How can I scan multiple pages to one file on my MG 7120?

    Hi albabynyr,
    There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single file.  To scan using the IJ Scan Utility, please follow these steps:
    1. Start IJ Scan Utility by going to your Start menu, then selecting All Programs, then Canon Utilities, then  IJ Scan Utility (folder), then IJ Scan Utility (program).
    2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    3. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
    4. In the right pane of the window, locate the SELECT SOURCE field and select the DOCUMENT option.
    5. Set the color mode, document size, and scanning resolution as required in the rest of the fields shown in the window. Click DOCUMENT SCAN ORIENTATION SETTINGS... to specify the orientation of the documents to be scanned.
    6. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
    a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
    b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
    c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the DOCUMENTS folder.
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. After a page has scanned, the screen to continue or end scanning appears. If you have more pages to scan, place the next page on the platen and click Scan.  Do this each time a page has completed scanning.  After the last page has been scanned, click Exit. Scanned images are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed during scanning.
    Hope this helps!

    How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures to the Cloud in one go? Uploading lots of files singularly does not help my workflow.
    All help is much appreciated.
    Paul.

    Hi,
    Uploading multiple files is browser specific.
    Internet explorer won't allow to select and upload multiple files on the cloud.
    If you want to upload multiple files then you have to login to Cretaive cloud using Firefox or Chrome web browser, then you can select multiple files in the Browse window to upload.
    You can't upload folders directly.
    Thanks,

  • Elements 11, PC Windows 8.  Problem: Process Multiple Files is grayed out.  How can I activate it?

    I have to reduce the resolution for files in a folder.  I have done this in the past but have a problem with the reinstall of Elements 11 on a PC that lost it's mind and had to reinstall all software.  The Process Multiple Files under the File heading is grayed out and will not allow me to point to the files to be reduced.  Sure would like some help on this.   THX.

    You have to be in Expert Mode (see this picture) to enable the "Process Multiple Files ..." from the file menu.   You are in the Editor windows, right?

  • PhotoShop Elements 10...I need help with font size for watermark in Processing Multiple Files.....

    I have PhotoShop Elements 10, and I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have successfully added them one at a time with a font large enough to be seen. Now I am trying to add it using the "process multiple files" , I can do that but the font even at 72 the largest setting is so small on the photo you can barely read it! Can anyone help me the size larger on my photos?

    Thank you, Michael. I just watched the Russell Brown video again for CS6 and looked real closely at his settings in ACR and he was using 240ppi. I changed my file in image size to 240 ppi and then ran the script and the layer didn't change size this time when I ran the script.
    It is kind of annoying to have to change the image size everytime I want to run this script and then change it back again as most of my files are 300 ppi. I used to run his script for edit in ARC in CS5 and recall that if I just remembered to change the settings in ARC to 300 ppi while the script was playing and before pressing 'open' that the image wouldn't change size during the raw processing, but this doesn't seem to be working in CS6. Do you know of a way to use this script and not have to change the ppi for the image to 240?
    Thanks again.

  • Process Multiple Files in PSE 7

    I'm running PSE7.
    I'd like to take a group of images (jpeg's) and do the following to them:
    Run QuickFix on them.
    Save them as a new file with the name based on the original name plus some extra information.
    Resize the jpeg's to a size suitable for the web. Or possibly a little larger.
    It would really be great if:
    I could use a 'tag' to select the images I want to process.
    The tags on the new images are the same as the originals.
    The new files are written into the same folder as the original. Even if multiple folders are needed due to
    the tags bringing in images from multiple folders.
    The new images would become part of a version set or stack along with the originals.
    Well, that's what's I'm interested in doing.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciatted!

    The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug‑in module that supports actions.)
    When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
    Note: The Process Multiple Files command does not work on multiple page files.
    Choose File > Process Multiple Files.
    Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop‑up menu:
    Folder
    Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Browse to locate and select the folder.
    Import
    Processes images from a digital camera or scanner.
    Opened Files
    Processes all open files.
    Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder.
    For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
    If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files:
    For Rename Files, select elements from the pop‑up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. The fields let you change the order and formatting of the components of the filename. You must include at least one field that is unique for every file (for example, filename, serial number, or serial letter) to prevent files from overwriting each other. Starting Serial Number specifies the starting number for any serial number fields. If you select Serial Letter from the pop-up menu, serial letter fields always start with the letter “A” for the first file.
    For Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX® to make filenames compatible with the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems.
    Under Image Size, select Resize Images if you want each processed file resized to a uniform size. Then type in a width and height for the photos, and choose an option from the Resolution menu. Select Constrain Proportions to keep the width and height proportional.
    To apply an automatic adjustment to the images, select an option from the Quick Fix panel.
    To attach a label to the images, choose an option from the Labels menu, then customize the text, text position, font, size, opacity, and color. (To change the text color, click the color swatch and choose a new color from the Color Picker.)
    Select Log Errors That Result From Processing Files to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, open with a text editor after the Batch command has run.
    Click OK to process and save the files.

  • Process Multiple Files jpegs grayed out

    Process Multiple Files in Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac OS 10.9.2 worked on several folders of jpegs then stopped working. Any folder that contains jpegs has the jpeg files grayed out. I get the error message, "The source folder you have selected is empty." However I can work on the jpeg files in that folder if I do it one at a time. I tried quitting the program then going back in and still I get the same error message.

    R_Kelly
    The folder I was trying to process was in another folder with a
    backslash in the name. Once I removed the backslash, Process Multiple
    Files worked again. Thanks for the quick response and the helpful hint.
    Sincerely,

  • Process Multiple Files to Reduce View Size within Safe Margin

    I use Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. I am looking for a way to multiple process 400 pictures to Premiere so photos are not cropped because of TV 4x3 image cropping some safe margin. In photoshop I could increase the canvas size to give a black boarder which gives the effect I want. The Photoshop File/Process Multiple Files... does not allow canvas size change. In Premier I can resize using effects for safe margin individually. I am looking for a procedure to multiple (bulk) process. I would even prefer some black letterboxing rather than losing the edges of the images by the TV and Premier cropping.
    This must be a common need. - Thanks for any help.

    I know of no way you can batch increase the canvas size of your photos, John. Sorry. It is not a feature of Process Multiple Files.
    For what it's worth, the area that's lost around the edges of your video frame isn't due to any cropping by any of the programs. It's something your TV does, and it's called overscan.
    But it varies greatly from TV to TV -- so one TV may cut off up to 10% while another may not cut off any of the edge of your video frame at all and you'd just be stuck with your black box around the outside of your video frame. Is that really what you want?
    Also, CRTs (the old style of TV) tend to cut off much more of the frame edge than LCDs and plasma screens, which cut off almost none. So, depending on who you're doing this video for, it may not be worth the effort.

  • PSE6 for Mac - Process Multiple Files

    I'm using PSE 6 for Mac on an iMac running Leopard.  I shoot in RAW on a Canon DSLR and use Bridge and PSE6 for everything photographic as I can't stand iPhoto's hidden filing system which prevents me from being able to organise my files as I choose.  I want to use "Process Multiple Files" to make jpg files for emailing and easy sharing.  I'm following the on-screen dialogue box instructions to the letter (and those in Elements 6, the Missing Manual) and keep getting one or both of the following messages.  Either "your source file is empty", which it plainly isn't, and/or "you must select a source/destination folder", which, according to the dialogue box, I have done.  I really don't want to have to convert and 'save as' 30-40 files individually every time I've been out for a session, when there should be a perfectly simple way of doing it as a 'batch' action.  Any thoughts, anyone?

      Try using open files (File à Open) then select your batch of raw files using Shift+click or cmd+click to select individual files. Wait for Camera Raw to open and click the button Select All (top left) then apply your saved default settings to all the selected images. Keep them all selected and click Open Images (towards bottom right) to send the selected images into the Editor.
    After the Editor opens go to the top menu bar click File >Process Multiple Files.
    Set the dropdown for your source to Opened Files then for the destination, check same as source or a new folder.
    At the bottom of the dialog under File Type choose the jpeg quality from the dropdown e.g. Max, High, Medium or Low.
    Click OK and leave the program to run (this can take a bit of time as raw files are usually large).
    When finished close the Editor and return to your folder to see your Jpegs next to your raw files. Or go to your new destination folder if preferred.
