CS5 Batch Via Image Processor Fail

Hi All, I have batch problem in CS5 using the Scrips/Image Processor feature. I have an action which does the following to a folder of selected images (jpegs): Creates a duplicate layer, runs Portraiture on the image, creates a new layer on top of Portraiture via a layer combination, then runs Alien Skin Exposure film simulation filter. The problem is that after 144 images process, normally the 144th or 145th image will fail to close. The remaining images will open and close (and save in destination folder) but the action is not applied to those remaining images. If I stop the batch and restart, it will immediately fail again. Photoshop must be closed and repoened in order for me to process remaining images (up to 144). My source images are normally (2-4mb) jpegs and I am saving the batched images as either jpegs or psd's. Either way fails. I am running CS5 with the most current update on a 2010 MacPro (12gig) with OSX 10.7.4 installed. Please help!

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

Bridge CS6: How do you write a script to assign a shortcut to "Batch" and "Image Processor"?

Many times a day I need to access "Batch" and "Image Processor" in Bridge.
There is no shortcut, so I have to go the Tools-Photoshop-Batch and Tools-Photoshop-Image Processor menu - the items I need are locked into a second level menu.
Which is impractical.
I remember, when I started out with Photoshop many years ago, I downloaded "Deke Keyes" from Deke McClelland, which included keystrokes for "Batch" and "Image Processor".
From the Bridge forum I learned that you cannot assign shortcuts in Bridge CS6.
So the general opinon was that a script was used to assign the shortcuts.
Could you please tell me how to do that?
Thanks!
PS: I tried to assign shortcuts via the Mac OS X Mountain Lion keyboard preferences (applications), but it did not work.

Hi,
in the exit:Event of the 1st date field add this FormCalc script:
DateField2 = Num2Date(Date2Num($.formattedValue, "DD.MM.YYYY") + 21, "DD.MM.YYYY")
You may have to change th date pattern "DD.MM.YYYY" in the way you need it.

Shortcuts for Batch and Image Processor in Bridge CS6

I use Batch and Image Processor all the time, and I'd like to use a shortcut.
Can you tell me if there is a shortcut or how I can program one?
I set up shortcuts for those two commands in Photoshop, but they don't work in Bridge.
I remember from the time I started with Photoshop and had Deke McClelland's book with his set of shortcuts. There was a shortcut that worked with image processor, but it was just a set you did install and no explanation. When I moved to a different computer and a newer version of Photoshop, these keys got lost.
Is there any way to automate Batch and Image Processor?

There is no way to economically batch process in Bridge without having to go thorough sub-menus.
I'm sorry you can't get it to work, but on my system it works flawless.
Testing a bit more it seems you don't need to use a unique shortcut at all. I also tried to use the shortcut for Batch I created in PS itself to get the Batch window to front for running actions on open files. For me that is [control + Cmd + B] but feel free to find an other one.
When I discovered you don't need the unique shortcut at all I used the same shortcut for Bridge CC. . Also created [Control + Cmd + i] for the Image processor.
Both started without problems.
To extend I also created both same shortcuts for Bridge CS6. This also was working correctly, off course, having only PS CC open using the shortcut in Bridge CS6 it auto started PS CS6.
So can you specify a bit more about what OS you are using on what computer (I have OSX 10.8.4 on a MacPro 2012)
Some screenshots to show the shortcuts in System prefs and how the show in the Bridge Submenus:

CS5 Crashes using Image Processor from Bridge

Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 crashes when using the image processor from Bridge after 200 images or so. Converting 1000 RAW files to PSD or PSD to JPEG takes multiple reloads. any ideas?

I've encountered a non-repeatable variation of this problem from time to time: crash occurs at startup of image processor when Photoshop is open and has been running for some time. (I've not seen the error where Bridge > Image Processor causes launch of Photoshop.) Once I've started a run it has not failed to complete all images (but I'm not converting RAW files and not as many files as 1000). ScriptingSupport.8li is listed in event log problem signature.

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.jsx bug (CS3, 10.0.1): fail to restore history item sometimes

I have very limited history depth (5 items) to conserve my RAM.
When I run "Image Processor" script, which calls some complex Action, "Image Processor" fails to restore history item (because it was dropped already) in this lines (tere is same line for every save file type):
app.activeDocument.activeHistoryState = historyState;
This line(s) throw exception (file was saved, really!), and file remains open and after processing 10-15 files computer starts to thrash.
I've surrounded all these lines with try { ... } catch(e) {} and it works for me.
IMHO, it here are two bad ideas in this script:
(1) Consider every and any exception as error. In this case, history is not a thing I care about
(2) Don't close files in case of error. It can fill up RAM & scratch disk very quickly.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Script Alert: "Sorry I could not process the following files" (Error Message using Image Processor)

I'm a seasoned Photoshop/Bridge CS5 user who recently upgraded to CS6. In Bridge I just ran my first Image Processor batch, trying to convert a set of RAW .NEF files to .PSD files with a basic editing action I created applied to them. Photoshop CS6 opens the files from Bridge and applies the actions, but then I get the "Script alert" error message "Sorry I could not process the following files" and a list of all of the files in the batch I was trying to run the script on. The files all remain open and are saved on my hard drive in a folder created by the Image Processor script, but do not close unless I manually close them. I never had this problem in CS5 where the image processor would apply the desired actions to the batch of photos one at a time, then save and close. Thoughts on how I can fix this bug?

Hey Jeff--
No specific action steps to make the image safe - no flattening, etc. Had problems narrowing down the specific action step causing the problem. So I ran the Image Processor script in the ExtendScript ToolKit and debugged in. (I'm using the version that shipped with CS4.)
Turns out what was happening is that the app.activeDocument.close() command on line 1490 was never getting called, because the this.SaveFile() above it was throwing an exception. More debugging got me to the problem - SaveFile() tries to restore the history state after making a doc safe for saving as a JPEG. This causes an exception. So I commented out line 1571:
// app.activeDocument.ativeHistoryState = historyState;
The script runs just fine after this. I commented out the close to see what history states got added to the doc, but no new states are recorded, so commenting out the restore line should not cause any problems.
Of course, my solution does not solve the problem and I may need to comment out all the saveFile() lines that does this. Not sure why some actions have this problem and others don't. The actions I am running have about 25 steps. Perhaps PS is not catching up quick enough. I added a $.sleep(2500) after the restore history but that didn't help.
So, not sure where this gets us. I will check about posting an action set with just one of the actions that cause the problem. But I may also have our customer comment out that line of the Image Processor script.
Hope this helps. May post more next week.

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?

Issue with Image Processor starting

When I go to start Image Processor in CS5, I get "Image Processor.jsx could not be found". Please help. Thanks.

Search your machine for that file "Image Processor.jsx" make sure it in Photoshop's folder Presets\Scripts\ I would think it would be if its listed in menu File>Script>Image Processor... .

PS/Bridge CS5 Batch Processor Not Working / Missing Scripts

I'm having a bit of a problem within Photoshop/Bridge CS5 and haven't found anything that works to resolve it.
In Bridge, I want to launch the Photoshop Batch Processor via Tools>Photoshop>Batch.
When I select this, Photoshop launches, but the dialog to process the images never shows. On occasion, if I return to Bridge and attempt the same operation again, I'll get a notification that there's already something in progress and asks if I want to queue this operation. The other times (majority) I can return to Bridge and attempt the operation again but get no dialogues in Photoshop. I can try the other options in this menu as well (eg Image Processor, etc) and get the same results.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Checked Bridge Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts and ensured those were all checked. I even disabled all, closed Bridge and Photoshop, then re-enabled.
2. Cleared all Preferences from Bridge and Photoshop (using Ctrl+Shift+Alt at launch).
3. Reinstalled Photoshop (multiple times)
4. Uninstalled Photoshop, ran the Adobe CS Cleaner application, then reinstalled Photoshop.
It should be noted that in Bridge>Edit>Preferences and Startup Scripts, if I click the button to 'Reveal my scripts' the folder it takes me to is blank. Not sure if this folder is solely used for personal/user created scripts or for others as well, but it's completely empty.
I have also gone to Help>Updates and updated both applications with any necessary updates from Adobe.
If I go into Photoshop and select File>Automate>Batch or even File>Scripts>Image Processor, both dialogues open fine.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Anyone else seen this and actually resolve the issue? Does anyone know where the scripts are supposed to be located and/or if I can get them from somewhere else? Any help is much appreciated

Make sure Photoshop is not started and then try to use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch does Photoshop start up?
Bridge CS5 menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch works on my Windows 7 Pro system
Photoshop Automate>Batch is not a script and Photoshop does not any external java program it had its own version of java plugin.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
However there are two startup scripts for the bridge involved Bridge and Photoshop You must have them for you have a Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>items
two scripts on my system are:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Bridge\bridge-4.jsx
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Photoshop\photoshop.jsx
The photoshop.jsx seems to be the one the the inserts the menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch into Bridge and also invokes Photosgop Automate>batch photoshop.jsx also inserts the other Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Menu Itens that you state work.
Here is what I see in my photoshop.jsx for batch. I do not know or understand Bridge scripting and do not know javsscript but what I see there seems to be some checking done about Photoshop being available and if it is not the script just returns which is what you seem to be experiencing the test looks like this

Image Processor bug causes PS to crash (CS5, 12.0.4, Win7x64) -

Hi,
I'm trying to process 64 RAW files using Image Processor, and I noticed that Photoshop (x64, I don't have the 32-bit version installed) never closes any of the files after it has processed them. This causes the RAM to fill, and eventually Photoshop to crash. I tried both via Bridge (Tools --> Photoshop --> Image Processor), and Photoshop itself. I have a new system with 8GB RAM, and when I start up Image Processor, Task Manager tells me PS eats away 6.5-7GB of it during the first minute. Shortly after PS crashes.
My updates are up-to-date according to the update manager. I haven't had this problem ever before, so the cause must be the 12.0.4 update (or the one before it). Is there a workaround or an update on the way? Maybe this is a known bug. I found out that people have experienced the same behaviour with CS4.
Kind regards,
Kimmo

Sorry for the delay in response; the Adobe server for logging in was down for hours.
The reason I'm on the latest drivers is that I made a clean install of Windows 7 a couple of days back.
Regarding the Intel driver I mentioned I downloaded: I had to go another route; the Intel driver "was not validated for this system", so I had to get the latest driver from the manufacturer of the computer -- which kind of sucks, to be honest. Well, anyways, the driver version from the manufacturer is the same I had from Windows Update (i.e. not the latest possible), but I went and installed it anyway -- thinking that maybe it's been "customized" somehow...
Unfortunately it brought no change. Action B still accumulates files while others do not.
I should clarify that the reason why the "Wood Frame" kept accumulating files in the PS main window was that it never finished the process. I tried it to run on pictures that were larger than what it was designed for and thus it stopped mid-process and left the window open.
(BTW: I'm talking about windows and tabs interchangeably here)
"Action B", as I've called it in this thread, does generate a final, processed JPEG, but apparently it doesn't return a confirmation of it finishing to the Image Processor. Without Image Processor knowing that the script finished successfully it leaves the file open.
I see that in File --> Automate --> Batch it is possible to have the process "Save and Close" each file it processes. Maybe it would be beneficial to have a similar function for Image Processor. And not only "just in case" -- the user might actually want to leave all the files open, who knows, but in situations like these a forced closing of a file -- be it finished or not -- would be nice.
I would also like to point out to other people reading this thread that, while this problem can be fixed by simply remaking the troublesome action, I feel finding the cause for it would benefit a lot of people too. Maybe the action was corrupted somehow, maybe PS 12.0.4. has a bug that makes my "Action B" from 11/2011 incompatible -- would be nice to know, huh?

Problem with Image Processor CS5

From Bridge I use tools/photoshop/image processor and convert raw with xmp files to jpegs after entering description and keywords in Bridge File Info. Suddenly, PS is not longer putting this information into the jpeg files. Why?

I'm beginning to think CS3 just isn't capable of handling long actions. Just to give you an idea what I'm doing is watermarking my photos with 3 items: a text logo, url and name. each of them consists of the same steps with the difference only being on their shape, size and position. so you can imagine 3 separate actions combine into 1. to test out my hypothesis, I deactivated 2 of them and tested for each one without any problem. next, I combined any 2 and failed. so my conclusion is CS3 just can't handle long actions as well as CS2.

Tools Photoshop Image Processor NG (CS5)

From within Bridge CS5, the Image Processor does not bring up the options window.
From within Bridge, if I select some images and then do: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...
The next screen does not come up. Nothing happens.... the main menu goes gray, but nothing else happens. No other window pops up.
In CS2 (I know, I'm a late adopter) the what-to-do with the selected images window pops up.
Thanks,
Drew

I am on CS3 and will move to CS5 soon, once the initial frenzy dies. But you say you do this: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...
The next screen does not come up. Nothing happens.... the main menu goes gray, but nothing else happens. No other window pops up.
When you click on Image Processor Photoshop should load and then you get the Image Processor Menu. Does it do this and then the Image Processor menu items are gray, so don't you get that far?
Can you load the Image Processor from Photoshop? (file/scripts/image processsor).

Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found. CS5

I like to use Bridge to export groups of photos and with past versions I've been able to select photos, go to Tools>Photoshop>Image Process and select one of my custom actions. Now I get this error: Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

By default the image processor script should be placed in the Application
folder (on root level, not in the user
account)/AdobePhotoshop/presets/scripts/ image Processor.jsx
Also by default in Bridge preferences Start up Scripts Adobe Photoshop
should have a checkmark in front of it.
If you changed any of these there lies your fault, if it happened to fail
out of the blue you first should try restart Bridge holding down option key
and choose refresh preferences.
First check if it works now and if it does again set preferences to your
wishes. (obvious not deselecting the PS script... )
Now I get this error: Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found.
