CS 5.5. Flatten Selection Batch Command Problem

Hello,
I created a command "Flatten Selection" using the History panel.
It now appears on the Commands menu.
However, I need to Batch apply this command to 80 icons on a layer of my image so I can flatten them individually.
How can I do this?
Thank You,
Miguel

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I actually have a couple tutorials on a very similar topic that may help out. You would need to have each icon on it's own layer but once that's in place, the process is a snap.

Batch changes don't function. Apt 3.2. From simple commands like "rotate clockwise" to "lift and stamp" the command only affects to the last image in the group selected. Similar problems? Solutions?

Glad it helped. Everyone has been bitten by this at one time or another. Fortunately you only get bit once
Well if you haven't already read it two or three times the User manual is really very good. Apple really did a nice job with it. The on-line version is nice because it is searchable.
After that the Apple Pro Training Series book Aperture 3 is very useful. Its basically split into three parts. The library, adjustments and sharing. In addition if you get all the way through it you can take the Certification test and become, well certified.
Rwboyer who posts here on and off has a good site and a couple of ebooks that I found useful.
good luck

Can't select files when using Automate batch command

Hi all,
I'm having a huge problem here.
I am working with CS3 on a mac (leopard).
I batch process (when applying actions) all the time using the Automate/Batch process command.
I have been doing this for years on my computer but all of a sudden it has developed a problem. When I bring up the batch command and select a source folder, I am not able to select any of the files (jpgs/tiffs) . They are not highlighted for me to select them.
So far I have deactivated and re-installed CS3 on my computer. Still not working. So, I have downloaded CS3 onto my laptop and taken the files from my desktop onto the laptop and the problem is the same. Like I said, this has just started happening for no reason after years of working fine.
Please, please, can anyone help.
Thx.
Richard.

I hardly use the feature, so I may have missed some change, but »Folder« seems to indicate that You are to select a Folder, not Files.

Batch Command Freezes up CS5

Suddenly, when I use the batch command, CS5 freezes up and has to be closed using alt-ctrl-delete. I've been using the command for a long time with no problems. All the other commands under the "Automate" line work. I reinstalled CS5, and it appeared to fix the problem. However, when I scanned a BUNCH of photos, and went to use the command, it froze again. Any ideas?

Ok since I got some free time, I updated to 12.0.4 again, with reallocating the temp path.
The freezing bug is still there, and it's still creating those .mvm file(1-14 inside the C:Temp. and 15 at the root of E). Since http://forums.adobe.com/thread/747353 is still discussing this issue, I'll leave it for a while.
With the update, my selection issue is also remaining there, I'd like to talk about it, since it's not only happnening to selection or magic tool, but to any tools involving moving cursor.
http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-troubleshooting/29186-photoshop-cs4-cs5-acti ng-like-they-possessed.html
http://digitalweddingchat.com/showthread.php/14289-weird-mouse-problem-in-PS..-posessed-mo use!
I'll save myself the trouble of describing since the above posts have done it really well. And their fixes do not apply to me.
What I could add to this:
1) Regarding the selection tool, this issue mostly happens after I move my cursor, and once it's "activated", I could just click like hell without moving my mouse at all, while creating a crazy record of below( simply caused by clicking mouse, which
"moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>".
But if I simply open PS, and start clicking on the picture with selection tool, keeping my mouse from moving in the first place, then usually I can't duplicate this issue.
2) Also, the issue will also occur if I move my mouse and click, but we could get some hint if we duplicate it this way.The unintended selection caused by this issue, which we take rectangular selection for example, will have a corner at the place where I ever put my cursor at. So from my point of view, it's like photoshop is ignoring my action, which is releasing the left button. For PS, I first move my mouse to point A, pushing left button down, (igored)releasing left button(ignored), moving mouse to point B,and a new unintended selection! Though this pattern only occurs sometimes of the issue, but it might hold some word.
3) As I keep testing, the easiest way to duplicate the issue is to move my mouse for a long distance and click, opposed to rapid small displacement and click.Well not that useful.
4) The way I deal with it now, is to endure it. I keep reselecting and usually the issue will disappear for a while, and come back at unknown future. I tried changing my mouse/graphic card/memory, as well as their drivers, ended up no fixing.
Any idea on this, Noel?

Fireworks batch command changes original colors

Is anyone having this problem? When I run a batch command on CMYK jpgs, it changes the files to RGB mode and in some cases the colors are drastically changed. I am aware that the 2 modes will display colors "slightly" different, and I don't mind the final product being RGB, but the way Fireworks handles it is too extreme. When I change modes in other bitmap programs, like Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop, the overall conversion is very much acceptable and the color change is so minute that it's hardly noticeable.
And before you jump down my back about using "non Adobe" software, keep in mind that all software has it's strong and weak points and I've been using the program that gets the job done right since they were introduced back in the late '80s.
Fireworks is one of my favorite programs, and the batch command saves time, but the color glitch is unacceptable. Does anyone know of a fix for this or a possible workaround (without creating more steps than the batch command saves)?

Open the Actions Panel and click the Panel property icon, you should see a few extra Action sets that don't load automatically by default - namely, the Production set. Select that one and in this set are a few items to check out/scutinize/learn from to help create the action you need.
On another note, here's a link to an olden golden that makes use of Conditional statements that may fit your needs

I am using the Tomcat version 4.0 and my xml file has correctly <!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
And the application correctly identifed the servlet and throwing this error from the servlet. Can anybody help in this regard.

I don't think so. I believe your server.xml or your web.xml file is malformed. This means that the DTD that the container validates the file against is not in agreement with the XML you created. See if you can start commenting out elements in your web.xml until the server starts properly to zero in on the problem. Or, if you are comfortable reading DTD's, go straight there to find out the problem.

Batch command unavailable

Suddenly when I select multiple images in Bridge, then go to Tools>Photoshop>Batch, I get the message "The command "Batch" is currently unavailable." Batch is also greyed out in Automate. This occurs when no other processes are happening. What could it be? Batch command has always worked fine in the past.

So File > Automate > Batch in Photshop is greyed out?
And would you mind providing the relevant information about your set-up (Photoshop-version, OS etc.)?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Batch command for using Java in IE

Hello,
I'm looking for a batch command that sets IE to use Java (Sun).
It should do the same job as if manually checking the check box of 'Use <java version> for applet' in advanced internet options of IE.
Is there a way to do it?

Sorry, currently there's no batch command to set IE to use Java from Sun.
There're quite a few registry keys need to be set when that option is selected.
Registry settings for:
- turning off console for MSVM;
- hooking up Sun's Java console to IE;
- adding a "TreatAs" to the Web Browser Applet Control so that applets with applet tag will use Sun's Java;
etc.

What happened to Batch command in Photos

Batch command is gone in photos. In iphoto I was able to to change Title, Description, or Keywords for all selected photos under the edit window.

I found many of the other features that Apple has deleted with the release of Photos including Batch to be useful.
Since Apple has taken their stand to dumb down their photographic app, I am now going to look elsewhere for a non-Apple product that better satisfies my needs then the toy they are offering.
Maybe if I go with a vendor who is only do photographic software there might be less chance for them to go the same route as Apple.

Batch Command in CS5 is greyed out

The Batch Command in CS5 is greyed out. I am running CS5 64 bit with Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas. It was working and now it does not.

You're talking about the Batch... entry in the File - Automate menu inside Photoshop itself? That's weird, I have never seen that one become disabled.
Do you have any actions at all loaded into your Actions panel?
Have you quit and restarted Photoshop, and does the problem persist?
Failing these things, I think I might suggest clearing all the preferences to defaults. You can do this by pressing and holding Control-Shift-Alt (or Shift-Command-Option on a Mac) immediately upon cold starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough to get the keys down - and you have to be very quick - it will prompt you to delete your current preferences, which will lead to the generation of out-of-box defaults. Clearing preferences quite often restores operation when weird things go wrong. Keep in mind you'll have to re-do all your settings after this operation.

Reversing "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event" Command

Apparently, we inadvertently moved all of our flagged photos to one event using the "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event" Command. The problem is, I want all of these flagged photos back in their original events.
Is there a way to do this without manually re-sorting the photos? I currently have ca. 10,000 photos in 270 events, and I am not looking forward to a manual re-sort.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The easiest way ti to use your backup of the iPhoto library - that is why you make them - in case of software, hardware or human error
If that will not do it, I can not test this but it should get you started - assuming that your events are in the default time/date based set up - and assuming that the photos are still flagged create a new event form the flagged photos and select that event - under the event menu ==> autosplit selected event - this will create new events that will be next to the event the photos came from - then go through and merge the newly created events with the event the photos came from
Other that your backup I can not think of any other way to get there except to move each photo manually

Batch command not closing files automatically

Hi,
Photoshop CS6
Windows 7
How do you make Photoshop automatically save and close a batch of raw files during batch runs?
I'm just now trying the File>Automate>Batch command. I want to run an action on a bunch of .NEF raw files.
How do you get rid of all the dialogs and just make the thing do the action? i.e., just OpenTheRawFile>RunTheAction>SaveAndClose>DoTheNextFile
First it opened them all up one by one in Camera Raw and the ACR window stayed open until I clicked Open Image. So I checked Suppress File Open Options Dialog in the Batch command. That fixed that problem. But Batch left all the files open in Photoshop, didn't close any of them.
So I went back into my action and added a file close. While recording the action I clicked Yes to save changes before closing the file.
However, the batch now pops up that same dialog box after each file asking me if I want to save the file before exiting. This defeats the whole purpose of the Batch command.

Do not use Batch, use one of the available Image Processor scripts instead. If your RAW files have been converted before and have associated ACR setting, The RAW files will be converted using these settings by ACR and ACR will bypass displaying its dialog. If the RAW files have no associated ACR settings the Image Processor scripts have an option that you can use to have the Image Processor open the first RAW file via ACR where ACR will open its dialog. The settings you set will be used to convert all the RAW files processed in the current run of the Image Processor.
Image Processor Pro is available on the web for downloading and is more flexible and powerful then the Image Processor that is shipped with Photoshop. You can set it up to save as many Image File for each file processed. The size and File Type you need.
You can have the Image Processor Pro include in its process an action you create for file that are saved. It can be the same action or different action for each of the file save you set up.

Selecting Default Applet Select Next Command

I have implemented and installed my Applet with default selectable privileges. Then when I send a select command with an AID that not is found in my card my application is selected.
The problem is when I send a select command and I response a FCI longer than the AID I have received, the JRCE tried to find another application and it responses 6A82. I want that when I received a select next command my default application is selected again. Is there some way to do it?
Thanks in advance!

OK, the main problem is solved. I found the File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files... method, which at least solves this particular task (a lot better than the insert-page method). I'd still be interested in knowing if there's a way to get the dialog to default to the most-recently used folder, though, if it's still possible to do that.

Config Manager 2012 client upgrade (via package with batch commands)

Hello all,
I would like to kindly ask for your help with my question regarding a SCCM 2012 R2 client upgrade (from RTM to R2)
Recently, we have upgraded from RTM version of SCCM2012 to R2 (with the PXE hotfix applied)
During the process, I have choose not to upgrade clients when the SP1 was applied and go straight for the R2, which is not a problem I believe.
My question is regarding the pre-created packages, that are showing up in the console. I believe, that they are the easiest way to upgrade clients via packages in SCCM. (we can't push the installation due network policy)
This hotfix is stored here: \\"FQDN_site_server"\SMS_TSP\hotfix\KB2905002\Client\x64 (in case of x64 version, x86 is the same but x86 in the end)
The executed file from this path is this with this command following:
msiexec.exe /p configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp /L*v %TEMP%\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp.LOG /q REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=mous
Anyway, when we install the clients when we deploy it for the first on a machine, that has no client or we reinstall it, we do it with help of this batch command:
set curdir=%~dp0
%curdir%ccmsetup.exe SMSSITECODE=TSP /NoCRLCheck /UsePKIcert /forceinstall SMSMP=HTTPS://CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ CCMHOSTNAME=CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ
I just need to know, if I can use the prepared package from the console in our case and if it will keep the settings when the package is deployed.
I belive I have found a similar questin here on the forums:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c9b40687-1843-44c7-b61b-fd26d53ab90b/cumulative-update-3-and-agent-upgrade?forum=configmanagerdeployment
The second answer might the answer I'm looking for, but can you explain that to me like I'm five years old? :)
Please, let me know.
The IT guys from LukOIL

I'm not sure, because of my short time at the company, but there are historical security reasons for setting the push installation off.
Second reason are strict firewall rules used here. SCCM Agent may contact site server through HTTPS - that is a one way communication, so push installation isn't possible.
Don't mix "client push" and "automatic client update". See
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgr_geek_speak/archive/2013/09/09/using-configuration-manager-automatic-client-upgrade-to-upgrade-to-the-latest-system-center-endpoint-protection-client.aspx for further details. (And yes, the article talks about SCEP, but
it also tells details about the entire process)
Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
Thank you for the article and your, but I find it easier to deploy packages right now.
I have found out, that there is a folder named "ClientUpgrade" in ConfigMgr installation folder.
I used this and made a package out of it. Deployment went fine as well as the installation of the upgrade for the client, but there is a problem now, that I don't see any software in the "Software Center" in "Available Software" - and there should be, since
I have may SW pointed to me and the list was populated before I have done the upgrade to the new version.
This may be a simple problem, but I really don't know what's wrong.
