CS4 Image Processor Freezes

Hi,
I have CS4 11.0.1 and when I use the Image Processor to resize images from Bridge, it often will pause at some point in the batch resizing and not go any further. At this point, Photoshop is completely inaccessible and I need to shut it down from Task Manager, and restart Bridge. Usually, after this restart process, everything works fine, but it is a bit frustrating to go through this every time and I haven't been able to pin point what changes when I restart. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried purging the Bridge cache(s)?

  • Photoshop CS4 Image Processor Stopped Working

    My workflow consists of tagging photos in Bridge then using Photoshop actions via the Image Processor from the Bridge tools>photoshop menu.  All the sudden it stopped working, the image processor box doesn't pop up anymore.  When choosing a folder manually through Photoshop, it says Sorry I Can't Complete The File...... (like it always says when it's successful) but nothing processes.  I have reset all the factory settings.
    OSX 10.5.8 w/ Adobe Suite CS4
    I need to get this project finished today rather than wasting my whole weekend doing manual actions on nearly 2000 photos for the next week straight.  This process has been successful for the past 3 years.
    Thanks so much in advance for your time.

    That must have been an ungodly degree of nesting. 
    The Image Processor is actually a plug-in script, written by Russell Brown.  If you like it, you should try Dr. Brown's Services 2.0.2 (for CS4; for CS5 there's a later beta version available) by the same author and also free.  It's like the Image Processor on steroids.  I haven't used the latter for years, since installing Dr. Brown's Services.

  • CS4 Image Processor: Why does "Resize to Fit" kill my action?

    I had some JPEG's that had some dark shadows.  I already had a custom action in CS4 that was worked for what I needed that I could use with the image processor.  What I did was just open, do my action and save as a JPEG.
    The existing action simply was:
    Convert to Smart Object
    Shadow/Highlight
    Smart Sharpen
    Create Vibrance Layer
    It worked fine until I added the "Resize to Fit" option in the Image Processor dialog.
    While I could see the actions being stepped through, the final photo was just a resized version of the original without actions applied.
    Why?
    I used to do this in CS2...I thought.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your response.
    I had already ended up using the "Fit Image" command which works...but the point is that I wanted run the script on several sets of images for different purposes which required specific sizes.  It's convenient to do that in the "Image Processor" dialog when I run each set.  I don't want to have to edit the action each time I do a different group of photos.
    It's more a question of why this does not work than finding an alternate ways to accomplish the task.
    i.e. Is it a bug or a misunderstanding on my part?
    Thanks again,

  • Image Processor freezes, ignore video files?

    I am trying to use the Image Processor to create a copy of my photo directory but sized much smaller and lower quality. Like a super shrunk backup, basically.
    It is doing exactly what I want, but it keeps freezing regularly. It will do a few dozen photos then freeze for a minute or two. At this rate it would take hours just for the paused part, not even counting when it's working. I get a "loading" cursor but otherwise the program is unresponsive.
    I have tried it set at 4 and 7 GB of ram. I have plenty of scratch disc space. My computer seems perfectly capable of handling it, it's an i7 4770. I've tried a few times, but it keeps doing it.
    Is there anything to do about this?
    Edit:
    I think it's from hitting video files and those are just taking a long time. Of course I have no use converting a video to a jpg, is there some way to ignore certain file types?

    I'm having trouble with bridge, it crashes whenever I try to navigate to my second hard drive. However the Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor option seems to just open the same dialog anyway.
    I'm using photoshop cc on windows 7 pro 64
    Never mind it's working now but it doesn't really help because this way I can only deal with one directory at a time. Having lots of directories is whats already making it so that I can't just move the video files.

  • Image processor not converting to sRGB

    When I use CS4 image processor to convert PSD files to JPEG and check "convert to sRGB" the resultant file has a sRGB profile embedded.
    When I use CS5 image processor to convert PSD files to JPEG and check "convert to sRGB" the resultant file has NO embedded profile.
    Can anyone tell me why?
    Thanks

    Heh heh heh.  It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
    Thanks for following up with the answer.

  • Image Processor gives a slightly reddish hue to jpgs

    For some reason, my Photoshop's (CS4) Image  Processor gives jpgs a slightly reddish hue when compared to the hue in  for example Microsoft RAW Image Viewer (or the LCD display of the  camera). How come is this possible? Shouldn't the Image Processor be neutral in terms of colours?

    This is the page with info about your program:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=d48e808e-b10d-4ce4-a141-5866fd 4a3286&displaylang=en
    I noticed this line:
    Superior color fidelity. Windows Image Color Management (ICM) is used to render images in the correct color space as determined by the photographer when the image was captured.
    and these:
    Often likened to a ‘digital negative,’ a RAW image is the native image format for a growing number of quality digital cameras. RAW images typically contain the original camera sensor data recorded at the time of capture along with camera settings and other information. Using special PC software, photographers can “process” RAW images to vary the exposure, white balance, and other settings long after the image was captured. This creative flexibility and extra level of protection against mistakes are key reasons photographers choose to shoot RAW.

  • Image Processor CS4 Cannot batch process from psd to jpg ERROR MSG

    I have been receiving the error message "Sorry, I could not processes the following files:" when ever I try to change DNG or PSD files to jpg in camera raw.  It does not matter if I try this with one file or 100. I am running CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8.  I have enough memory, have cleared trash, purged cache....I don't know what to do to make this run correctly.  Please help!

    Thank you for responding and yes, I would be more than happy to elaborate.
    In Bridge I normally change my images from psd or dng using the following steps:
    Tools
    Photoshop
    Image Processor
    change to jpg with a quality of 10
    This has always worked in the past on CS3 and worked a few times once I upgraded to CS4.
    I can do one image or a number of images.  I started receiving the error message stated above
    when doing these steps.
    I have purged Bridge cache, have memory on system...startup disks are not full.
    I cannot figure out why I keep getting this message or how to fix it.
    Any and all help is much appreciated!!!

  • Help needed: Image Processor.jsx missing in CS4

    The Image Processor.jsx is missing from my Photoshop CS4 scripts folder and when I search I don't find it anywhere. (I get "Image Processor.jsx cannot be found" error when I try to do Image Processing in Bridge CS4.) I guess it never loaded. Can someone send it to me so I can load it. Also please tell me exactly where I should put it.

  • Batch Action through Image Processor Leaves Files Open in CS4

    I am not sure if this is a change in CS4 or something that I am doing incorrectly. But when I run Bridge CS4 < Photoshop < Image Processor (running an action that I have been running since CS2) the files do not close in photoshop after running the action. In all prior versions of PSCS#, photoshop closed the file after finishing the action. The files all save properly. But having hundreds of files opened inside of photoshop causes the scratch disk to go low and slows everything down.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I haven't experienced that problem. But a related annoying problem with batch actions in CS4 is that if I minimize Photoshop while a batch action is running, the program interface minimizes, but the images open and close on the desktop still. In prior versions of PS, I could minimize the program and the batch action would go on in the background, invisible to me, while I could do other tasks. But now, when I run a batch to convert over 1000 files, each one pops open on the desktop, in front of any other open app's windows. It then closes and the next one opens, etc. Which means my computer is unusableduring any batch command.
    Very annoying! How could the QA and beta testers have not noticed this?

  • Weird image processor issue in CS4

    All of a sudden this week, both of my computers stopped being able to image process via bridge > ps.
    Repro steps:
    1. Select RAW image(s) in Bridge.
    2. Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor
    Expected results:
    Image processor dialog opens in PS
    Actual results:
    Window switches over to PS, but nothing happens.
    Anyone else see this?

    Suggest to check the files you used. If the files contain duotone or multichannel mode, then the message "Sorry, I could not process the following files" will appear.

  • Image Processor Fails in CS4 -basic script

    I tried to run a basic script through Image Processor (Never had this problem in CS3)
    The script was very basic: Open all files in a selected folder (all recent PSD files) Save files as LZW tif in another selected folder. Run a single action: "Flatten Image"
    Each time the entire process fails with the following Prompt: "Sorry, I could not process the following files" (all the files in the selected folder)
    Both folders have "Read & Write"permission.
    I tried running the IP on a single open file and received the following prompt: I am unable to create a file in this folder. Please check your access rights to this location."
    I have enabled Read/Write on the enclosing drive & I have also tried with "shared folder" selected & Ignore ownership on this volume. I am the only user on this workstation.
    I have Repaired Permissions on Main drive.

    Suggest to check the files you used. If the files contain duotone or multichannel mode, then the message "Sorry, I could not process the following files" will appear.

  • Image Processor not working in CS 5

    I have installed CS5 Design Premium on my Mac Pro at work. (Had installed the education demo, but it turns out my school doesn't fit Adobe's critereon for eligibility - and doesn't take it back after telling you that) although we have qualified for years, and we education people in 14 countries are are the top school in the world on our subject. No biggie, the upgrade's only $50 more with the NAPP discount.
    But at home it installed just fine on my Mac Pro and works great. But at work, where CS4 works flawlessly, I can't get it to run Image Processor from Bridge, or import photos into Photoshop Layers, it does do Photomerge, but it also does not do HDR PRo.
    Before the settings wouldn't stick in image processor, and I fixed the issue by changing permissions on the Photoshop settings folder in my user account. Now settings stick for Image Processor, but when I tell it to process a set of images, it keeps coming up with a dialog saying "Sorry, I could not process the following files..." and then gives a list of each file with it's the path.
    I'm wondering if the javascrpits running this process are broken, or have permission problems. (Image Processor, HDR Pro, etc.)
    If in Bridge, I seelct Tools->Photoshop->Batch, it gives me an error dialog: "FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. <No additional Information Available>"
    I rely on Photoshop for a very large portion of my work. And that includes processing thousands of images. I cannot see how this problem is unique to me. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? Am I stuck with CS4 for automation? BTW, I can use Applescripts to automate Photoshop CS5. How wierd is that? Scripts I wrote work, but built-in ones appear to be broken on this machine.
    Additional information: I'm on a Windows network using Active Directory and my company user account while this is happening. Where it works at home, it's just my own Mac running OS X 10.6.4. I have all the latest CS5 updates installed.

    But all the
    files that are in my home directory (Snow Leopard 10.6.5) give that error.
    Do you have a beta of Snow Leopard, to my best knowledge 10.6.4 is the
    latest version??
    I'm going to format
    the drive on Monday and restore my system from Backup and see what that does.
    First try the uninstall CS5 suite using the uninstaller that is in each
    application folder. Also erase your serial number from computer and run the
    clean script:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
    It is useless to reformat and after that reinstall from Back Up when you
    also re install the current preferences, highly likely you will end up with
    the same problem because you copied the old prefs again

  • Rotate to fit / photoshop image processor

    Anyone know what happened to the Rotate to Fit feature in bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor? I have to make several web photo galleries and this most important feature seems to be missing with CS4.

    To clarify - older photoshop (or bridge) programs, you could put in the dimensions you wanted and check a checkbox that said something like "rotate to fit". So if I entered 400x600px, then photoshop would make Portrait images 600 tall x 400 wide, and Landscape image 600 wide by 400 tall.
    Photoshop CS4 doesn't have that option so I have to go through all of my images, select all the landscape images, put in 600 wide x 400 tall, and run the script. Then gotta Go Back... select all of the Portrait images.. and run the script again but this time for 600 tall x 400 wide. Such a pain - gotta be a better way just haven't found it yet! help!

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 not opening Photoshop Image Processor

    I selected one, four, and multiple pictures in Bridge to reduce the file size of jpgs. I went to Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor. Nothing happened. Photoshop did not open. That got me to thinking that sometimes while I am in Photoshop Bridge won't open either. Any ideas on resolving issue of "Bridge not opening Photoshop Image Processor" would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Curt Y, Everything is checked in the "Startup Scripts," including Bridge (twice) and Photoshop (twice). Not sure why duplicate entries but there are.
    If you mean that you have two of the same versions (both CS3) in there that indicates there is something wrong with your install
    If you have any suggestions regarding being able to access the Image Processor to resize pictures and such without first opening Photoshop, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, the work around will have to suffice.
    My first goal would be to reset the preferences for both PS and Bridge and then try again
    see also this KB document, section preferences reset:

  • Image Processor Not Working

    Hi,
    I used the Image Processor feature to resize and save in a separate folder all the time in Bridge CS3. I recently upgraded to CS4 and I can't get the Image Processor to work. When I select the feature, it opens photoshop but nothing happens...it just opens the photoshop window but does nothing. Can anyone help? Does the feature not function in the same way for CS4? How do I properly use Image Processor in Bridge CS4? Thank  you!
