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,
JJJ

  • 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 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.

  • Russell Brown " Image Processor Pro " does not work under CC

    I just switched from Photoshop CS 6 to CC and use Russell Brown "Image Processor Pro". Unfortunately does not work that under CC. I also want to install the fix but we probably only applied to CS6.
    Does anyone have a solution to the problem.
    Here the German error message: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12684660/CC_IPP.jpg
    Post translated with google Translater from the German.

    I installed Image Processor Pro quite some time ago. I extracted the extension package and just copied the two files "Image Processor Pro.xml" and "Image Processor Pro.jsx" into Photoshop's versions Presets\Scripts. I normally install things I add to Photoshop into my own folders outside any Adobe installation folder.   Image Processor Pro  is an exception because I did not want to modify X's code.  Image Processor Pro is coded in a way to find which version of Photoshop is being run from and looks for its default xml file in that version Presets\scripts\ folder.
    The script may save your modficaions to its defalt xml file into you user ID application data areas. And you can save you own Image Processor Pro presets configurations.
    I run Windows not Mac though.

  • Uploading my site to Adobe Business Catalyst and I noticed that it turns all my text into images? Why does it do that and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

    I don't mind that Muse does this upon uploading my website, but once my text becomes an image on my site, it creates a light halo around my text making it fuzzy. Is there a way to prevent Muse from changing my text into images?

    Hello,
    I believe you are using System fonts for the text in the site. I would suggest you to use either Web safe fonts or use self hosted font options.
    Please refer to the links below to understand how to work with them.

  • Why does scroll wheel temporarily kill anti-aliasing?

    I have an odd display problem within inDesign. I have anti-aliasing turned on. When I use the hand tool or scroll bars to move around my document, the newly revealed area is drawn correctly and quickly. But when using my mouse scroll wheel to move around a document-- horizontal scroll especially-- the revealed parts of the document are not anti-aliased (and drop shadows are not drawn). I can switch to the text tool, edit my copy, switch to the cursor and move/change objects, whatever I want, but anti-aliasing does not re-activate. Then the instant I use the hand tool or drag a scroll bar, suddenly everything is redrawn correctly once again. I have tweaked my display performance sliders several times, but no matter what quality settings and options I use, I can see that the problem is still there.
    Very annoying when I'm zoomed in looking at where I want a drop shadow to appear ... turn on its settings in the dialog box ... WHY WON'T IT GIVE ME MY SHADOW!? Oh, wait ... jiggle the page with the hand tool and suddenly it appears.
    I am not getting an error message. Hardware acceleration is working in Photoshop. Downloaded the latest version of Logitech Setpoint software; that didn't stop it.
    My system: InDesign CS4 ver. 6.0.4 on Windows Vista 64-bit; Logitech MX Revolution mouse; Dell 2209WAf monitor; ATI Radeon HD 4800 graphics card (already upgraded to more recent driver; didn't fix the issue).
    I doubt it's the mouse itself; I use the same model at work (where we have CS2) and I've never had this happen there.
    Help!
    Ross Hight

    Wish I could help but I am also experiencing the same problem. I just installed the newest video card drivers, however the problem still exists.
    64-bit Vista SP2
    CS 4
    Quadro fx 3800
    I have the same monitor as you and use a logitech mouse.
    I didn't know about the jiggle trick though, helps a bit.
    Thanks.

  • Why does CS6 forget commands during batch actions after awhile?

    I have done this over and over and been absolutely positive that the darken command as well as the transparency command were given to a layer for batch processing - it does fine during a short test but when told to do a large batch after a short time both commands are mysteriously GONE. Any ideas why? - this is driving me nuts and I ain't got far to go so I need help

    Gone from where? Darken from blending modes ? Where was the transparency command that is now gone?

  • Why does Siri and bluetooth kill navigation apps?

    I thought Siri was very cool until I tried to make a bluetooth call while driving and using naviagtion apps.  Siri kills the app, has a hard time knowing what I want when I state it clearly, then does not resume the navigation app.  Voice control doesn't kill the app and understands who I want to call MUCH better.  I have since killed Siri and really dont miss it at all.  Does anyone else have the same issues?

    There are a couple of discussion threads about this problem but unfortunately at present there doesn't appear to be a fix. Siri is still in beta so it's possible a patch may come with an update. You may want to take a look at this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16433440#16433440. You may also consider contacting your provider for your in car Bluetooth system but as Siri is so new, a fix maybe some time away.

  • How to batch resize in Bridge CS6 or Image Processor using height only?

    I have batches of images that need to resized based on height only and would like to do so using Bridge/Image Processor. My height requirement is 1140px, however the original images are varied in landscape/portrait orientation and are of different aspect ratios (2:3, 3:4, etc). So far what I have had to do is filter in Bridge just the landscape images then select an aspect ratio, then plug into Image Processor the exact pixel dimensions of the resized images (that I discovered using Photoshop to resize and check the resulting pixel dimension). There has to be a more efficient way.
    An example of what I am running into:
    Image 1
    Original file = 5616 h x 3744 w Portrait orientation
    Resized file = 1140 h x 760 w
    Image 2
    Original file = 3744 h x 5616 w Landscape
    Resized file = 1140 h x 1710 w
    Image 3
    Original file = 4652 h x 3489 w Portrait
    Resized file = 1140 h x 855 w
    From that example, is there a way I can plug just the height number in Image Processor (or any other Photoshop utility) so I can just batch out a bunch of images all at once?
    FYI - I am not interested in buying any new software such as Lightroom to accomplish this task. I would like to remain within Photoshop/Bridge if possible.

    You can do what you want with Image Processor without a script.  All you have to do is enter the number of pixels you want for the height (1140 pixels in your case) and then enter a number for the width that is wider than any image you will process.  Image processor will always resize the images to fit inside this rectangle.  That is, the height will always be 1140 and the width will fall where it may.  It works like the Fit Image command in Photoshop.

  • Image Processor does not work correctly

    Two problems and one suggestion here:
    1. When using the Image Processor Script to resize images only the first image in a folder will get resized correctly. Subsequent files just get coppied at their original size.
    2. The script ignores the width setting and adjusts based on height.
    Additionally, it would seem to me like a Percentage selection and/or a Maintain Aspect Ratio selector would be a huge help.

    Hi there,
    the images I wanted to process were initially located on an external hard drive that had 10GB left. I then moved the file onto my laptop, which has about 160GB free space, but that didn't solve the problem. I have tried the same task with just 2 images, and get the same response. I am not sure what you mean by 'complete path', but the folder is just a normal folder with camera RAW FILES (CR2). However, I have tried to convert a TIFF to JPEG too via image processor and that hasn't worked either?

  • 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!

    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

  • Minor modification to Dr Browns Image Processor Pro?

    I came across Dr Browns fantastic script and I'm hoping there's a developer that might be able to help with a minor (?) revision to the code.
    He has kindly released the source code on his website  http://www.russellbrown.com/images/tips_downloads/OpenSource.zip
    I need it to do two main things:
    Save 1. run a renaming convention on the original images and retain the file type/ extension
    Save 2. resize the images for web (incorporating an action called up from PS to convert to RGB). No problems here.
    I know I can do this in a two step process with bridge to rename and then use the script (or indeed a droplet) to resize for web, but I wish to keep this as a one step process.
    Image Processor Pro does both of these fine except for one thing:
    I need an option in Save 1. to save files in the format they already are - rather than forcing all files to save into a particular format.
    I get hundreds of images from various companies (I work as a designer for an arts organistion) and they are all in a variety of formats and I want to maintain the highest possible quality file we are provided.
    Basically I want the option of using the naming convention section of the script without the file save as file type bit.
    This assue this could be done by either skipping the File Type/ Quality section altogether (but keeping the save to subfolder), or by including "keep current extension" into the file type drop down.
    Things that would also be great:
    3. An option to delete/ replace originals in the process (as I will be deleting these anyway)
    4. The script can be made into a drag and drop application that calls up bridge/ PS?
    Any assistance on this would be great.
    PS- I have posted this over on the Photoshop discussion page as well, as that is where I came across the scipt in the first place.

    Thanks

    Yup didn't realise you are on mac. 
    If you don't want to keep the originals with their original names (ie if you're just overwriting the originals) then why mot just batch rename in bridge first?  If you run an action or script then you'll have to wait whilst each file is opened and saved, whereas you run a batch rename and it's a file system task - virtually instantaneous.
    Then just image processor, or a batch action from bridge (I'd create the latter because the. You can reuse it without needing to check settings or destinations over and over)

  • 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 Creates New Folder

    Why?
    I already have a folder that I'm selecting in the Image Processor dialogue box. 
    Let's stay I'm processing RAW files and I want to have them saved as PSD files in a folder named PSD.  If a folder already exists named PSD, this action I'm running creates a NEW folder named PSD, within the existing folder named PSD.
    Crazy, I know, and annoying.  And I never told it to do that.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Crazy, I know, and annoying.  And I never told it to do that.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Tried it myself and it seems indeed a bit crazy, when using the script in PS itself (File/Scripts/Image Processor) you have the ability to check the option to keep the folder structure. Using the script in Bridge this option is not there and it creates subfolder for each file type.
    Normal I have no use for Image processor (I have a bunch of own created actions in PS I work with) but Russell Brown (the 'mad' professor at Adobe) has created that script and has his own website:
    http://russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
    Check this out and see for the new (beta version) image processor Pro (The movie did not start in Safari on my system but played well using Firefox) and there are a lot more options to play with
