Converting ImageReady droplets to Photoshop ones

I have a bunch of ImageReady droplets that I use to process images for a website. The droplets do things like resize the images, add borders to them, and save them in various directories.
I'm trying to create Photoshop versions of these droplets. I couldn't find a way to convert the droplets to Photoshop directly (if there is a way to do that, I'd love to hear about it!), so I tried creating new Photoshop droplets that do the same things as the ImageReady ones. I managed to reproduce the sequence of actions in Photoshop, but when I tried to run the droplets, I got a very unhelpful error message. (It was just the standard "Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close" message, except that when I hit "End Now," the program didn't close.)
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

Yes, that's what I'm doing.
Maybe it's something to do with the options I select in the "Create Droplet" pane? I've just been selecting the name of the action and a place to save it; is there something else I should be checking off or more information that I need to enter?

  • Reproducing ImageReady droplets in Photoshop

    Two questions, actually.
    1. I'm trying to reproduce an ImageReady droplet in Photoshop. The ImageReady droplet includes an "Export Layers as Files" step, but the "Export Layers to Files" script in Photoshop doesn't seem to work the same way. For one thing, it doesn't work if the file has only one layer (which mine does), and it also doesn't have the same set of options. Is there another way to do the same thing in Photoshop?
    I tried using "Save for Web/Devices," which does seem to have the same set of options as ImageReady's "Export Layers as Files" and thus might work well enough for my purposes. But is there a better way?
    2. When exporting files (or saving them for web) in Photoshop, is there a way to set naming conventions (as one would do when using ImageReady's "Export Layers as Files")?
    Thanks.

    Well, I can at least answer 2.. Save for Web can use different naming conventions by creating custom presets. If you choose one of those presets during recording of the action, it wil lbe used later as well. For the first, I would simply record the action as such, that a second layer is created, but it has a layer style preset applied that sets its fill opacity to zero, so only the base layer is actually contributing visible pixels. Additional steps to "float" background layers of course shoudl be included.

  • CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

    CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print.  Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print.  This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be.  I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes.  The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
    Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

  • How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6?

    How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6? The company hired somebody to set up the droplet years ago, and nobody remembers how it was set up. The computer that was used to save the files has crashed, and I need to change the path the droplet uses for saving the files. I tried to open the droplet with Image Ready, but it said it was not an image ready droplet and could not be opened. The computer running Photoshop is using Windows XP.

    It seems that the script on the ps scripts page is to old to work in cs5.
    This is a lnk to xtools 1.8 which has the latest version of the droplet decompiler:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/xtools/
    Just unzip, find the Apps folder and look for the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
    Then put your droplet on the desktop, Use File>Scripts>Browse in cs5 to navigate to the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
    Here's an example using the Aged Photo.exe droplet from the ps 6 samples folder:
    here's the resulting action opened in cs5:

  • Is there any provesion to convert  multiple planned order to one PR

    hi,,
         i want to know is there any provesion to convert multiple planned orders to one PR .let it may create as different line item in PR. if is there please let me know
    thanks in advance
    regards
    madan

    Hi madan,
    i dont think there is any way of clubbing multiple planned orders into single PR.  Like Taj suggested, you could decrease the number of planned order created thro MRP run by working on different strategies on your lot sizing key / procedure. 
    Also, i am assuming here that you want to club the planned orders of a single material into a single PR and also it is no way related to different account assignments. 
    The other way possibly u could do it is, do a Z programme and modify your MD15 transaction.  This idea is bit vague, possibly the forum could build on it.

    But its giving class cast exception. Please help on this..

    Do you mean "two different layers" as in separate JVMs or "two different layers" as in functional areas running within the same JVM.
    In either case, if the first class is actually semantically and functionally the same as the second (and they are always intended to be the same) then import and and use the first class in place of the second. That's beyond any question of how to get the data of the first into the second if and when you need to.
    Once you make the breakthrough and use one class instead of two I'd guess that almost solves your problem. But if you want to describe your architecture a little that would help others pin down want you're trying to do.

  • How can I downdrage or canacel my CC membership for just the Photoshop one?

    I have had the CC membership for over two plus years and have Photoshop C3 licensing I really only use Photoshop for my graphics design. I would like to downgrade from the complete package to the Photoshop/Lightroom one. Can I please have assistance with this? It is not worth it for my needs or finances to pay $50 a month for services and tools I don't use but I do want to stay on the Photoshop one since I do use it very frequently.

  • Converting multiple files into a one PDF:Error

    I have a .net app which converts multiple pdf files to one big PDF using postscript. For few PDFs while combining I get this error message. What is this means? How to fix it?
    ERROR: undefined
    OFFENDING COMMAND: findresource

    I suppose you use some fairly recent version of Ghostscript, and the PDF in question uses a CID font which is not embedded.
    Therefore the interpreter looks for a substitution font and does not find a suitable one.
    See the Ghostscript documentation (file "use.htm") for handling CID fonts. Among other items, it states:
    Please note that when a PDF font resource specifies
    /Registry (Adobe) /Ordering (Identity)
    there is no way to determine the language properly. If the CID font file is not embedded, the Adobe-Identity record depends on the document and a correct record isn't possible when a document refers to multiple Far East languages. In the latter case add individual records for specific CID font names used in the document.
    Probably aou need to edit the file cidfmap by hand to define a suitable substitution font (as you didn't tell what system you are using, I cannot tell the
    correct path where the said file will reside).
