CS3 Bridge - Batch Image Resize

i am new to using Bridge. I need to Batch resize images for my daughters yearbook. I need to resize pictures that are 36" x 27" and resolution of 72 dpi and change them to about 2" high but keep a high resolution (300 dpi) for printing. I tried to batch change them but they stayed at 72 dpi and became fuzzy.
Can you give me a tip to complete this process.
Thanks you
Molly

  • Batch image resizing

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what the limits on the image resizing in Photoshop is. I need to run a regular batch of image resizing on about 38,000+ images (quiet a lot). I've also been looking around for a tool that can handle this number of images to resize, does anyone know if Adobe has such a tool?
    Thanks
    Stephen

    I don't think there is an easy answer for you, if the files are on a server then there could be horrendous problems. You might need a custom script that breaks the batch into chunks and controled by Bridge.
    Scripting expert Xbytor, has written scripts for people that does this sort of batch processing over at PS-Scripts.com, he may be able to help.

  • CS3 Bridge: Preview image too small

    Hi,
    Here's what I'm using:
    Photoshop CS3: 10.0.1
    Bridge: 2.1.1.9
    ACR: 4.6.0.30
    No matter what mode I coose (lightbox, horizontal/vertical filmstrip ...), the preview image occupies a very small part of the preview pane and I find no way to resize it. The thumnail pane and the thumbnail images themselves are resizable all right.
    I tried purging the cache and that didn't help.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Prabal.

    Hi,
    I wanted to report another experiment that possibly points out where the problem is.
    Case 1:
    I placed the preview and content panes one above the other. Like so (preview pane at the top):
    Then I started pulling the horizontal separator between the two panes to shrink the size of the lower pane and this caused the preview image to starting to get bigger to fit the preview pane real estate space. Look at the image below (and note that the bigger image is not rendered correctly) and note that at the time of taking the screenshot, I did not yet release the horizontal separator:
    Finally, just as I released the horizontal separator bar, the image in the preview pane got resized to its initial small size:
    Any clue?
    Thanks,
    Prabal.

  • PSE5 Process Multiple Files Image Resize

    I want to batch convert some TIFF files to JPG and make them all 300 ppi. I tried suing the Multiple file processor in the Editor just entering 300 in resolution and leaving width & height blank. I hoped it would perform the same process as going to image resize and and changing resolution with resample and constrain proportions turned off. Instead it has changed the ppi from 72 to 300, but kept the size the same i.e. has added lots of extra pixels making the file enormous.
    The only way I can force it to shrink the image is to enter say 30cm as the width. The problem with this is twofold a) I have to trun all my photos so they are landscape b) if I have cropped a photo such that it doesn't have enough pixels to stretch then again it is getting resampled.
    Is this a limitation of PSE5 that wouldn't be there in CS3 or am I doing something wrong? I only want to print tham out 15x10 but read I should resize everything to 300 ppi. To be honest I never did this before I had PSE and they seemed to come out OK from a Canon that saves the files as default 72 ppi but large dimensions. Maybe someone couldexplain in laymans terms why the photos need to be resized to 300 ppi anyway? Thank you

    Well, you see, Process Multiple files is doing just what you asked it to do: it's
    resizing the photos. But you don't really want to resize the photos, just change the ppi setting. Is there a particular reason you want them to be 300ppi? PPI is a setting that only matters for printing or if you are sending a photo somewhere that requires that marker to be set to 300. Your camera doesn't know anything about ppi, only absolute pixel dimensions (eg 2480 x 1795 or whatever).
    When you go to print, however, your printer may prefer to have a higher pixel density, since it can play your pixels like an accordian: squash them closer together or spread them out thinner, depending on that ppi marker. The pixel density determines the inch/cm size of your print (at 72 ppi you'll get a print that's hugely bigger but less detailed; at 300 ppi a crisper smaller print.)
    I'm wondering why you would want to batch convert a whole big bunch of images at once, though. It would help if you would explain just what you want to do with the photos that requires the 300 ppi.

  • Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

    I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
    I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
    "Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
    But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
    How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
    Thanks, CMA

    I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
    If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
    In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
    The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

  • CS3 Bridge, no files on right click (yes, I set preferences)

    I wrote this in previous thread, but it referred to CS5 so I'm pasting it in a new one.
    This is for CS3 Bridge.
    Since I finally uninstalled previous CS version, now when I open up Bridge and right-click PSD image to say, open in AI, my options are only all browsers (?!) and Photoshop which is the program assoc. with PSD that I set in File Type Assoc in Bridge. Used to be able to view most Adobe programs when right-clicked before I uninstalled old CS.
    It's annoying and I'm not sure how to restore/fix.
    Thanks!

    Uninstalling an old version, will believe it or not, cause the file associations to revert to the uninstalled version.  Not an easy fix.
    It appears you either need to start over or delve into the registry.  See this link.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423584?tstart=0

  • CS3 Bridge & Photoshop freezing after an hours use.

    G5/2.0ghz/dual/3gigRAM/OSX58:  When I use CS3 Photoshop and CS3 Bridge at the same time, after about an hours use, Photoshop will freeze with the spinning beachball when I double click one image in Bridge to open it up in Photoshop. Anyone know of any similiar experiences?  Lord, I do not want to go through the CS3 reinstallation if I do not have to. Talk about a mindless waste of time.  jr

    First thing to try when in trouble is refreshing the preferences. Restart
    Bridge holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. Set them
    again to your wishes and try again.
    Also check your free space on your system, less then 10 % free space is
    often causing trouble.

  • CS2 Bridge vs CS3 Bridge = Colors don't match

    I was wondering why a JPG of eyewear with clear lenses shot on a white background and which have no color cast whatsoever displays with a light pink cast in Bridge 2.1.1.9 and displays it's normal 'neutral tone' in Bridge 1.0.4.6 ?
    The folder they're in has both CMYK and RGB (sRGB) versions of the same product shot and only the RGB ones display with a noticeable pink cast in CS3 Bridge. High quality thumbnails is turned on and when I open the image in PS10 it's fine. The lens' RGB value in the affected area is neutral and pretty close to 232/232/232. There are no color casts anywhere.
    As a test I just created a 232/232/232 box on a white canvas and saved it as a JPG. I've discovered that if I save it as a progressive JPG the 232/232/232 box displays as light pink on a white background in Bridge 2.1.1.9. If I save it as a Baseline (Standard) JPG it does not have the false pink cast. The same test images all display correctly in Bridge 1.0.4.6.
    Is this a known issue or something particular to my system?

    Hi @Lommarti 
    Although HP does not support Photoshop, I was able to find something that might help; How to Convert RGB to CMYK in Photoshop.
    If you can print from other programs without any issue, then you might consider contacting Adobe for help adjusting your color settings further.
    You can also use the following document to ensure the printer is not at fault; Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e-All-in-One....

  • Opening Bridge preview images in Photoshop CS4

    When I click on Open to open an image previewed in Bridge, the image opens in Paint. I try to click on Open With and am given a menu of Paint (default), BullGuard (my antivirus)FS resizer and Explorer, with no means of changing those. What can I do to change this so as to open in Photoshop?

    Thanks for that Curt. However, the method in the link does not work for me, but I found an answer for myself: for any others with this problem, do the following:

  • CS3 Bridge won't start

    For the first time, Bridge won't start-up either from CS3 or the XP Programs areas in Startup. I downloaded and inrtalled the CS3 Bridge 2.1.1 update and it did not help. I get the Message: The app failed to initilize properly (Oxc0000022). Click OK to Terminate. Please help if you can, thanks. phil
    PS only change to my computer that I know of is I installed an ran Perfect Image defrag program

    I did as you sugested: "
    Hold down the crtl + shift + alt keys and start photoshop. You will be a window "Delete Adobe PS Settings File". Choose yes".  I am running XP Pro, and when I use the crtl-shift-alt keys while starting CS3, the Adobe Bridge CS3 Properties Window pops up.  Not anything suggesting to
    "Delete Adobe PS Settings File".
    I assure you that I am holding the keys properly, and continuously as I double click on the shortcut to CS3.  Do you have another method that can be used to accomplish this???
    I do not know if my original message was clear, but I cannot start Bridge.  When I do so, I get the following message:
    Bridge.exe - App Error.  The apploication failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022).
    So I do appreciate your suggestion to:
    "To reset preferences in Bridge hold down Crtl key and start Bridge. You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options"
    but I can't start Bridge, so I can't change the prefs.
    Thanks for trying anyway.  Phil

  • CS3 Bridge Cache Best Practices

    I am using CS3 Bridge Version 2.1.1.9 and have a question(s) about the cache.
    (System specs: Vista 64bit SP1, CPU: Quad9550, Ram: 4GB, Video: 9800GT)
    When and why should I purge the cache?
    Whenever I re-enter Bridge and go back to a recent folder of images, the spinning "pizza wheel" reappears for a few seconds and seems to refresh the thumbnails.  Why could it not do this once and keep the refreshed thumbnails?
    By the way, I just recently switched the Preference from High Quality to Quick Thumbnails and that change gave me a huge boost in speed.  The High Quality thumbnails were incredibly SLOW which once again begs the question just above, why does it not do it once?
    Thanks
    Jim Calvert

    As I mentioned in post #4 my thumbnails stay for several weeks (I use quick thumbs).
    I have a dedicated scratch partition of 40 gigs (shared with photoshop).   My Bridge catch was 14 gigs this morning, and I elected to compact thumbnails and that process reduced cache down to 9 gigs.  Compacting eliminates cached items that no longer are linked to anything.  Folders that had not been visited for at least a week still had the thumbnails there, so no rebuilding.  I use only central cache (do not export to folders).
    The point of this is how big is your cache?  Does it have to be overwritten to make space for other activity?   The only other thing I can think of is that if you are using a lot of raw files it has a seperate cache.  I really do not understand this, or what purpose it serves.  But under edit/Camera Raw Preferences there is a box to set location and size of camera raw cache.  Default is 1 gig, and it has been recommended by some that this should be increased to 4 to 10 gigs, depending on you use of ACR and file sizes.
    My thumbs load instantly (unless they have to be rebuilt).  I have between 400-800 pictures in a folder.
    I am using CS3.

  • Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

    I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
    I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
    Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
    Thanks!

    Hi, I got it to work like this:
    Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
    Cheers,

    Hi there Elsemiekagain,
    I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
    And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
    Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.

  • Can Bridge destroy images?

    Hi!
    I have an image which lately is being rendered very unsharp when opened in Bridge. Fortunately,
    it is OK when opened in ACR. What has happened? Can Bridge destroy images? I'm scared.
    The image is a Fuji Raw. Bridge that came with PS CS3 10.0.1, Mac 10.4.11.
    Best regards -Hening.

    If it's OK in ACR and Photoshop, then it's probably a corrupted cache in Bridge. No big deal. :)
    Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge (
    NOT
    through Bridge preferences!).
    Make absolutely sure you are updated to Bridge
    2.1.1.9. Earlier versions of Bridge could indeed destroy files. But if the image opens in ACR, then it's just the cache.
