Does CS4 gave batch processing?

Does CS4 gave batch processing? Can you make CD tracks like you can in Audition?

Your action doesn't to seem to include any Open actions. Why do you have the "Supress" option enabled?
Also, since your action has the two save commands, you would just leave the Destination set to None. Setting a Destination means that is going to save the files again.
The problem you'll run into though is that the action also saves the file name as part of the action, so that you'll end up just saving over the one file each time the action is played back on your 400 files. So Photoshop will process all the files, but each time it will overwrite the first file, so you'll end up with one file in each folder. Normally, in these situations, you'd use the Destination setting and use the "Overrride Action "Save As" Commands", which would substitute the Destination folder for whenever a Save command is used. The problem here is that you can only choose a single destination folder, so all files would be saved to the same location.
Short of scripting this, it may be best to break this into two separate actions.

  • 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!!!

  • I want a Batch Processing feature!

    I have soundbooth CS3 - but i REALLY need a batchprocessing feature. canty find it in CS3, will it be in CS4?
    Specifically i need:
    1) batch normalization
    2) batch trim (begining and end)
    3) batch file format conversion

    Hi,
    Soundbooth CS4 doesn't yet have dedicated Batch processing functionality, however it does offer Batch Volume Equalization and Matching. Adobe Audition does offer comprehensive batch processing which can address all the needs you've listed.

  • Batch Processing from the FCE timeline.

    Hi - I am using FCE 4 on an Apple Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
    In the same timeline I often have 30 or more unrelated clips.
    If I copy the FCP files separately into a folder, is there any
    way I can export these as separate mov files automatically
    into an HD rather than  one at a time?
    There are Windows programs which have "Batch Processing"
    which will do this operation. It appears that it may not be
    available on any of the Final Cut systems.
    Is it possible to create a program using Script Editor or by using
    Terminal or can anybody suggest any other ideas?
    Many thanks for your help - Maurice.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to do this in FCE.  FCE does not do batch processing and it is not scriptable.

  • CS4 open script using Bridge batch processing

    I wrote a script in CS to open a logo file (.psd) and copy it onto a photo
    Since upgrading to CS4 the script will not work with batch processing in bridge. It does work in Photoshop on a single image however.
    Here is my open script....when I batch process it brings up an open dialog instead of just opening the file
    ///CODE
    var activeDoc = activeDocument;
    var logoDoc = open(File("/c/stlg.psd"), OpenDocumentType.PHOTOSHOP, false);

    That didn't work either :(
    I was looking at the OpenDocument.jsx sample in the scripting samples directory and tried batch processing it....it opens a photoshop sample psd file and it worked...though I don't understand the code or why my code above won't work
    /////OpenDocument.jsx code
    //var strSamplesFolderDirectory = localize( "$$$/LocalizedFilenames.xml/SourceDirectoryName/id/Extras/[LOCALE]/[LOCALE]_Samples/value =Samples" );
    //var strSampleFileNameLayerComps = localize ("$$$/LocalizedFilenames.xml/SourceFileName/id/Extras/[LOCALE]/[LOCALE]_Samples/Layer_Com ps.psd/value=Layer Comps.psd");
    var fileRef = new File(app.path.toString() + "/" + strSamplesFolderDirectory + "/" + strSampleFileNameLayerComps);
    open (fileRef);
    fileRef = null;

    I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.)  It happens for about 10 of 30/40  files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

    I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

  • Photoshop cs5 says "Place" is unavailable when I try to batch process from bridge, does anyone know what's going on?

    I am trying to batch process my watermark from bridge.  I have a saved action in photoshop cs5 and have used it for a while and all of the sudden it says "place" is unavailable.  I have reset bridge and photshop and restarted the computer.  Do actions get corrupt? 

    That is a very common error message actions produce when  for some reason the document current state does not support the command or feature used in the action step that gets the error.  With our seeing a screen capture of the error message and being able to see the document window, the layers palette and the actions palette   Its not possible to tell you why the actions is getting that error message.  Most likely its because of the document current state. For example place is not valid for a bitmap mode document.

  • We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.  We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process i

    Hi
    We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
      We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

    Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

  • CS4 Batch processing only processes half the files!

    I scan 6x6 negs on an Epson scanner and when they are done they need to be rotated 90 degrees and flipped horizontaly. I set up an action to do this (Rotate, Flip, Save and Close) and everything was going swimmingly - then recently I've started having problems.
    For example - I've scanned 60 images which I select in Bridge and then open them in PS CS4. I select Automate>Batch and then select my saved action and away it goes. PS chugs its way through the 60 photo's and closes them all (so it looks like they have all been processed), but when I go back to Bridge and it starts refreshing the thumbnails only 30 of them have been rotated and flipped. So then I select the remaining 30 images and batch process them - this time it only processes 15 and so on. This is really annoying as if I get down to around 9 images it won't process any of them!
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Simon

    Curt Y's comments sound good to me, too.
    As a "test," try your action on a folder and check Bypass Open (that option should still be in CS4) and see if that handles all of the folder - after you take Curt's advice. Though Batch normally just Opens one at a time, and the computer should recover the resources used for that one on Close, it might not be happening for you.
    Good luck, and let us know if anything works,
    Hunt
    Also, you might want to add your full system specs. if you still have the issue. I'd pay very close attention to the I/O sub-system, i.e. the HDD's, their speed, size, free space, controller type and how they are allocated on your system.

  • Photoshop 7 - batch processing is no longer doing save as

    I have had Photoshop 7 for many years.  I have been using several resizing and sharpening batch processes which have saved a resultant file at the end with a different name.  In the Batch process an original folder was selected and a destination folder and the file name changed with a different custom prefix.  I have been using these batch processes with no problems for years.  Without warning I have noticed that all of these batches are no longer working and the end result is one file in the destination folder, ie it must me overwriting.  I have tried to recreate the basic batch process again  and have resorted to using both 'save; and 'save as' at the end of the process in different test batch processes and the same result happens pretty much each time, the one file after the original folder had 5 images.  I have noticed that 'Save as' is not showing up in the actions of the batch process (only shows as 'Save' irrespective if you selected 'save' or 'save as'.  It is like Photoshop is refusing to accept 'save as' with a new file as a valid action.  I have also tried to check the override 'save as' box etc.  If you edit normally in Photoshop and 'save as' for that image, there are no problems
    Going nuts as I am a team photographer for a team playing in a national competition and therefore have a large volume of images to edit/resize

    Windows XP previously, Windows 7 now (has been for about a year). 
    Computer is according to 'device and printers', ACPI x86-based PC, with Intel Core i5-3450 [email protected], and Xeon processor E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core - was all put together last year.
    Drives are nowhere near full.
    Only recent update has been Java on the weekend, coinciding with when I first noticed the issue.
    I have deleted Photoshop 7 off the computer using Windows 7's delete program function as there is no uninstall.exe file in the PS7 folder.  I deleted it out of Startup and off the Desktop.  I also deleted the remaining plugin folder containing Noise Ninja anti-noise software.
    I reinstalled the PS7 software again and in PS7 I expected the batch processes now to only contain the default batch processes, but all of my created ones are there in the list - this says they are not deleted in the uninstalll process.  Where are these stored on your computer so I can delete these perhaps?  However I am unconvinced that will actually achieve anything (see * below).    I deleted a few of these using the trashbin off the Actions palette.
    I created the numerous variations of the batch processes again, with 'save as overrides' box checked/unchecked and still no joy.  What I have noticed it does not matter whether you used 'save as' as one of your actions it has replaced it with 'save' every time (*).  How does/can that happen?  All the other 'save' actions for any of the other batch processes all show as 'save' now.    There is of course no option to change the 'save' in the actions to 'save as', eg right click mouse or something.
    I haven't found anything related in Google searches.

  • Question about Batch processes in CS4

    Hello everyone,
    I was hoping there's a solution to my problem. My laptop's MoBo died recently so I wil be retrieving data from my HDD via another laptop. I created a Batch process in CS4 to resize and perform a few more actions on pictures. I was hoping to save that Batch process without having to recreate it. Are batch processes made by the user saved in a particular folder that I can just go into and copy?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Riley

    Did you save the action as an *.atn file using the context menu of the palette?
    If not, then the action is only "present" in one of the preferences files, together with all the other preferences.
    You can try to copy the preferences files, but I don't know whether the action will "come to life".
    Of course it must be the same version of photoshop on your other PC.

  • Fireworks CS4: Batch-processing fails

    Dear Helpers,  I need your advice for solving a problem concerning the batch-processing with Fireworks CS4 on WinXP. A few days before there was no problem witch "batching". But now, after choosing the image files, the batch process stops by closing the "batch"-window.  Can anybody help?  Thanks for your answers.  Oli

    Hey... solved it! Changed the background color in almost 2,000 jpegs. Heres how:
    Photoshop CS4, first define a color in an AXT file:
    Open test image, image, adjustments, replace color. use eye dropper to sample the background color, bring hue, saturation, and lightness bars all the way to the right (background color now turnd white), click save (save the definition AXT file, you will need to reference it later).
    Now create a new action called "replace color", have test image open (with original background that you want to change), start record and do this to record the action:
    Image, adjustments, replace color. Click load and select the AXT file, click load (the background color now turns white with the loaded AXT definition). Click ok. save file. Stop record action.
    Now run a batch command and use that action you just recorded: File, automate, batch, select your new action in the play section, select the folder of files to process and the destination... click ok to run the batch.
    I changed the "background" color in 2,000 estore product images of various sizes (thumbnail, medium, and large sizes) in about 15 minutes. Wow! I knew there had to be a way.
    Hope it helps lots of people, 'cause it sure is a common need.

  • Batch process does not work in one service, but worked in another.

    Hi Fellows,
    We have here a batch process with a code encrypted, that runs daily in a production environment.
    Tonight this batch process did not work.
    It is expected that this process runs in about 20 seconds, but tonight this process used about 3 hours and did not finished.
    We checked if it was concurrency, killed some sessions and tried again, and nothing has changed.
    And then someone changed the service that this process uses, it was 'bat' and changed to 'dba'. And it worked succesfully in 11 seconds.
    Here is the tnsnames that the batch process uses:
    bat =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
    (FAILOVER=ON)
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = bat)
    (FAILOVER_MODE =
    (BACKUP = dba)
    (TYPE = NONE)
    (METHOD = BASIC)
    (RETRIES = 20)
    (DELAY = 5)
    dba =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = dba)
    Do you guys know what could be the reason?
    Thanks in advance.

    We set the service which the app should connect.
    These services are set in srvctl:

    The batch process connects to a service [ bat ], but it hangs and don't finish. But when we change the service do dba is just pass in some seconds and finish succesfully.
