Colour washed out when using image processor in Bridge CS6

Hi there
I hope somebody can help please?!
I am editing raw files in Camera Raw 8.2, then using image processor through Bridge CS6 to save them as both jpegs and tiffs.
I am finding the colour on the saved files is coming out a little washed out and faded.
If I open them individually and save them in PS6 as jpeg and tiffs, the colour remains vibrant and true to the original raw file.
I have thousands of these files to go through and don't have time to open each one individually in this way so I am desperate to automate this process while still retaining the great colour in the original shots.
Can anyone tell me why the shots are coming out this way and help offer a solution for me please?
Any advice would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks
Benny P

Hi,
Do you have Include ICC Profile checked at the bottom of the Image Processor dialog?

Color washed out when using image processor in Bridge CC

Hi,
When I use the image processor - Tool>PhotoShopS>Image Processor, via bridge my colors appear wrong and washed out.
When i choose "Include ICC profile" in the process dialog it has no effect - the colors are still wrong.
In PhotoShop my profile is set to ProPhoto RGS, can that be the reason?
When I save as JPG from Photoshop the colors are correct.
any suggestions?

Nothing to do with professional or not, but I do hope you know where your computer's power switch is. System information can be obtained this way:
Working with your Operating System’s Tools
Furthermore we need info where you store your files, what format they are in, where they came from, what you did the last time this worked, if possible...

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.

Using Image Processor from Bridge

I'm trying to use the image processor from within Bridge. I have done this several times in the past, as recently as last week.
I have some files selected in Bridge. I select "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor" and the dialog box opens. Step 1 indicates that I have files to process (10 in this instance), and I have JPEG selected as the file type to process. When I click "Run", I get an error message that says "Script Alert" in the title. The message in the window says "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop".
I opened the same 10 files in Photoshop, and I was able to run the Image Processor on them while they were open in Photoshop. I'd rather not do this unless I have to.
I haven't added any new programs or plug ins since the last time I used the Image Processor from Bridge.
I had the same problem in early June, and the solution suggested then fixed the problem. I'm experienceing the same problem today, and the same solution doesn't seem to be working now.
The previous solution was to reset the preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the Bridge icon to start. A reset window with 3 options popped up. Now, w
I would sincerely appreciate any help you could give me with this.
Thanks,
Larryhen I hold the control key down and click on the Bridge icon, I don't get the reset window. I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from within Photoshop, and I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from my desktop with Photoshop closed.

Read you original post again and your last post and now I am confused.
You said you reset your Bridge preferences, yet in post #1 you said " I hold the control key down and click on the Bridge icon, I don't get the reset window. I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from within Photoshop, and I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from my desktop with Photoshop closed.
So with this said you have not reset the preferences unless you have gone in and deleted the file. The Bridge Icon is the one one the desktop that you click to start Bridge.
BUT, in last post you say you have a Mac. So to reset preference believe it is Cmd key.
No matter how you do it you need to get the reset window with the 3 reset options.

CS5 Crashes using Image Processor from Bridge

Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 crashes when using the image processor from Bridge after 200 images or so. Converting 1000 RAW files to PSD or PSD to JPEG takes multiple reloads. any ideas?

I've encountered a non-repeatable variation of this problem from time to time: crash occurs at startup of image processor when Photoshop is open and has been running for some time. (I've not seen the error where Bridge > Image Processor causes launch of Photoshop.) Once I've started a run it has not failed to complete all images (but I'm not converting RAW files and not as many files as 1000). ScriptingSupport.8li is listed in event log problem signature.

Shortcuts for Batch and Image Processor in Bridge CS6

I use Batch and Image Processor all the time, and I'd like to use a shortcut.
Can you tell me if there is a shortcut or how I can program one?
I set up shortcuts for those two commands in Photoshop, but they don't work in Bridge.
I remember from the time I started with Photoshop and had Deke McClelland's book with his set of shortcuts. There was a shortcut that worked with image processor, but it was just a set you did install and no explanation. When I moved to a different computer and a newer version of Photoshop, these keys got lost.
Is there any way to automate Batch and Image Processor?

There is no way to economically batch process in Bridge without having to go thorough sub-menus.
I'm sorry you can't get it to work, but on my system it works flawless.
Testing a bit more it seems you don't need to use a unique shortcut at all. I also tried to use the shortcut for Batch I created in PS itself to get the Batch window to front for running actions on open files. For me that is [control + Cmd + B] but feel free to find an other one.
When I discovered you don't need the unique shortcut at all I used the same shortcut for Bridge CC. . Also created [Control + Cmd + i] for the Image processor.
Both started without problems.
To extend I also created both same shortcuts for Bridge CS6. This also was working correctly, off course, having only PS CC open using the shortcut in Bridge CS6 it auto started PS CS6.
So can you specify a bit more about what OS you are using on what computer (I have OSX 10.8.4 on a MacPro 2012)
Some screenshots to show the shortcuts in System prefs and how the show in the Bridge Submenus:

Losing raw edits when using image processor CS6.

When I select a CR2 file(s) (that has been edited in ACR 7.1) and attempt to run it through image processor, all of my edits are gone. If I save as a JPEG manually every edit stays. Here is a shot of the files side by side. Left side is manual right side was with image processor.

When i edit my images with Bridge and ACR (AdobeCameraRAW) ... when i finish ... i select all pictures i want ...
So, i select "Tools/Photoshop/Images Processor" i select my options et click "RUN" ... so after process my images ... i check and every picture where a "CROP in ACR" will lose this configuration ...
What JPEG Files ... level 10 no resize and no convert to sRGB profile
i use CS6 (latest update) under latest OS X version

LR4 export to JPG the colour washes out when viewed in Preview

Specs:
LR4 4.2 with ACR 7.2
Mac OSX 10.8.2
Nikon D600 NEF (Raw) files
This problem has occured everytime I use LR4 and I've tried exporting to different colour space - sRGB, AdobeRGB with the same result. This is using my new Nikon D600, when I export a photo processed in LR4 and shot from my old Canon 400D the colours are almost identical when viewed in Preview with just the usual loss you would expect converting to sRGB.
Is anyone else experiencing this and/or know of a solution?
I hope this is an issue that is being worked on for the update that will fully support the D600.
Cheers

Mojo,
The problems which you are getting with Lightroom & your cameras D600 & 40D is not clear by the way you have tried to explained.
Can you please elaborate on the problem you have with some screenshots.

Error message when trying to use image processor in CS2

Hi
I am trying to use image processor to condense 500 proofs for my website - however although I have done many times before with no problem, now when I hit the Image processor button before I even get to key in details it is bringing up the sorry something major has happened message and I can't continue - the details of this message are as follows - ref error : this.dlgMain.ddset on Change is not a function :810 - does this mean anything to anyon? Any ideas on how to overcome would be much appreciated.
thanks

Go to Russell Brown's website and download his package for CS2. His 1-2-3 Processor is much more flexible than the one provided by Photoshop.

Psd file wash out when add transparency to page

HI,
I've had a noticeable yet unknown problem, and today I figured out why, but now need help fixing it.
Working with CS2
When I import a grayscale psd file into ID, it gets washed out when I add a transparent element to the page. My page started out in the page Window as a solid white background, and changed to transparent when I added the transparent element next to it. At the same time, my nicely contrasted grayscale psd image (contains levels adjustment layer) became washed out and lighter. This is the first time I've actually watched it happen as I added a transparent element - probably because often transparent elements are added before my photos.(this explains the poor image quality I've had in the past - always thought it was a calibration issue on my monitor).
So my question is, how do I get the page (icon in the pages window) to be solid white again? or at least not weaken my grayscale images?
I had a printout before I added the transparent box, the image printed nicely. Now the image prints washed out just as on the screen. (printing using "Send All Data" for image output.
I'm working in Doc CMYK, transparency flattener is set to Doc CMYK, turned on overprint preview, tried isolating the blending, knocking it out, re-placing the psd file, adding a solid white box behind it (a no-no, I know, but was for testing purposes) all to no avail.
I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere, but I'm not finding it.
I'm grateful for any help I can get!

How are you printing? Are there any CMYK elements on the page?
Most desktop printers are really RGB devices. You may find you get better results if you change the transparency blend space to RGB.

How to Use Image Processor for Multiple Sizes

I'm trying to use Image Processor to work on a folder of images and to create several sizes of .jpg's . I find an option to Save as JPEG in one size only. Is there any way to set up Image Processor to save JPEG to multiple sizes?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Hi Mehtap,
Using the script will give you multiple selections.
This is how I did it and it works well. It just separated the values by semicolon ";" .
TEXT_1.setText(DS_1.getFilterText("0CUSTOMER"));
When selected only one value:
When selected more than one value:

QTs are washed out when rendered.

HI there
I'm rendering out through AE (v12) and through numerous codecs - animation,H264, ApplePro, tiffs, etc.... - and all QTs look washed out when compared to the AE project. Does anyone have a solution or know the cause of this? (OSX 10.8.4 & GeForce GT650M)
Any help appreciated.
E

Tiffs and Targa sequences still seem to drop less so.
When importing the rendered QTs back into AE they appear less washed out/desaturated within the viewer than they do with the QT player. Obviously one or the other is causing the main problem, but both seem to be playing a part.

Audio cuts out when using Interfaces

Just recently bought my first iMac, with plans to use it for multi-track recording. The audio is cutting out when using FireWire or USB interfaces to record and/or play audio. For instance, with an Edirol FA-66, even iTunes experiences brief periodic audio loss (every 20 seconds or so) when playing through the device. PreSonus Firebox works a bit better, with a 1 to 3 second loss every 40 seconds or so... this happens when using OSX as well as XP... the operating system doesn't seem to influence the problem. To be certain it wasn't a FireWire issue, I tested it with an M-Audio USB interface and had the same audio loss.
Talking with tech support, the first guy just blamed everything on the 3rd party devices. That drove me CRAZY. Finally he got a specialist on the phone, who blamed it on the intel chip.
Right now I'm just living with it... trying to record songs in smaller pieces. I wait for the audio to drop, then as soon as it comes back I hit record. I've got about 40 seconds (using the Firebox) which is enough to lay down a verse or chorus.
I'm just hoping, HOPING that someone at Apple is looking into these things.

Hello,
This may be a stretch but your mention of " hard drive hanging" prompted me to suggest your problem may involve low data transfer rates. (I mean, the hard drive may have too slow.)
When, for example, Final Cut Express or Pro are being used, they require high data transfer rates to avoid frame dropping. Apple's article on the HD requirements for those apps is here:
