Exif information when batch processing

Hi,
When i do a batch process on some images the program adds extra information like: "Software used".
Can i switch this off? I'm not asking the program to edit my EXIF file, so it shouldn't.
Thanks already.

The "software" fields in the EXIF and XMP metadata are industry-defined fields that let you track which programs have been used to modify your images, in the same way that other fields let you track the camera or scanner and exposure information. Many image-manipulation programs set those fields.
There is no way to turn off the use of those fields in PSE, but you can use a third-party utility such as Exiftool or ExiftoolGUI to clear the fields on a batch of images.

Please Help, Issues when batch processing Multi Frame images in Fireworks

I hope someone will know how to do this and tell me where I am going wrong.
Objective 1
I have a large number of images that all have the exact same number of frames (4) and are all exactly the same size that I want to get resized, cropped and water marked (when I say 'watermarked I mean have my websites logo pasted in a specificlocation on each frame, I have my websites logo as a seperate .png file which I copy from).
Current Process
I create a command which will crop the image then paste my companys url/log onto the first frame, move it to the correct location on the frame then copy it again and then paste it onto each of the other frames, the command then resizes the image tot he exact proportions I want.
I start a batch process and use my command, making sure that I also export from the .png to animated gif (and I edit the settings to make it 256 animated gif).
Error 1
The process described above resizes and crops my images however it does NOT put the watermark in the correct place, it seems to put it int he right place on the first frame and then in a different place on all the followingn frames thus giving the effect of the watermark jumping around. Which is obviously NOT what I want.
Question 1
Please let me know what process I should be following to correct the Error 1 above.
Objective & Question 2
I want to do exactly the same thing as shown above but this time the files have a varying number of frames (from 2 to 45 frames (or instances as CS4 seems to call them)). Is there a way to paste my logo to the to the exact same location on ALL frames?
Other information
I have tried WHXY Paste extension and I can not see how to use that to solve the issue. I have also tried 'Paste in Place' however I can not see how to use the Paste In Place extension as it is not appering in my list of commands.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Andy

Andy, you could start a batch process which will do most of the things you are asking for. THe batch process can be done using Fireworks. The right way to start is going to Archivo / Procesar por Lotes and then follow all the different option this tool has to offer. Yes, I know I gave you the names in Spanish but that is the way I use Adobe Fireworks.
I hope this was usefull for you!

ACR use of workdisk and scratchdisk when batch processing images

I am setting up a new PC optimized for PS, and I and pondering on the optimal disk setup for ACR when I batch process several images:
Alternative 1
2 physical disk in raid 0 with 2 partitions, partition 1 for scratch and the second for images to work on.
The question is if there ever will be a conflict in the sence that PS/ACR wants to access both scratch- and work partitions at the same time? If this should occure, I guess the following is a better setup??:
Alternative 2
1 physical disk for scratch
1 physical disk for images to work on
Christopher

Thank you Ramón,
I am not limited to 2 drives. I am planning on having OS and programs on a third separate disk.
The point of using alternative 1 would be to use RAID 0 to obtain faster read/write (both for scratch and for reading and saving images on the work partition. However, if scratch usage competes with read/write to the work partition, I'm probably better off with alternative 2. If I work on one image this is simple, however I frequently batch process several RAW images. How does ACR/PS handle this? If all the images initially are read from the work partition and loaded into RAM + scratch and processed there, there will be no competition between the two partitions and I will benefit from the RAID solution. However, if the images are read one or just a few at a time, processed in RAM/scratch and then saved to the work partition, I imagine scratch and work partition could be competing for the the disks read/write head when finished images are being saved and ACR is "waiting" for more images to process??

Watermarks not showing on files when batch processed?

Hello,
I am using acrobat pro 9. I am looking to watermark upto 2000 files at work, I have researched and gone through all of the steps to set up a watermarking script for the batch function.
However once the process is complete, the correct files appear in the correct folder but are totally unchaged...the watermarkings are set to be veiwable on screen and when printed.
I can watermark and successfully save files if I do them one at a time, it just all goes out the window when I try to batch them.
I am batching 3D imaged pdf's if that makes any difference (doubt it would as they watermark the same as 2d)
used this link to help create the watermark
http://www.pdfzone.com/c/a/Document-Management/Add-Watermarks-to-PDFs-with-Batch-Processin g/
Can anyone think why I am having this trouble? Is there a simple option I am not selecting etc?
Thanks
Ali.

Ok here is how I have created the batch wateramark:
Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing
NEW sequence > input name (3D wateramark)
Select Commands: Add x2 'Add watermark'
This is how I set up the first watermark;
Then the second;
Now watermarks are in place ,select '3D watermark' and 'run sequence'
Edit the options....
The files are then selected > OK.
Loading bar appears, and the process appears to run.
Files then appear in the correct specified folder but are not watermarked.
Thanks.

Cropping not maintained from Bridge to PS when batch processing

This is the oddest thing, because it has never happened before. I am sending images that are cropped in Bridge to a Photoshop batch process (just image resize and sharpening), but they are showing up in the new folder un-cropped.
Anybody seen this before?

Perhaps the "then click [Done]" part is being omitted? It's easy to forget and click [Cancel], which will toss out the crop and any other settings changes.
Other possibilities:
If you've set Camera Raw to use SideCar XMP files to maintain the settings, make sure you're not moving just the raw files to some other location without the XMP files.
If you've set Camera Raw to use the central database, make sure you're opening the images on the same computer on which you set the crop, and also make sure you've given the Camera Raw database enough room to grow (I've found that the default 1 GB is not nearly enough).

How to maintain EXIF information when exporting

I've recently posted 2 photos on Flickr, afterhaving edited them in LR5.
Suddenly, might EXIF information is not showing under Addition Info. I haven't altered anything in my Flickr settings.
Someone has suggested it could my export settings in LR. Could you tell me how I find these?

Brilliant! That worked, just did a test run. Thank you so much! I don't know what happened before because can't remember altering anything befor exporting. Anyway, I know what to do now, thanks.

Lion corrupting EXIF information when importing into iPhoto '09?

Hello,
I use DXO to process my RAW images and get them into iPhoto '09.
Since the upgrade from Snow Leopard, my JPG pictures that had perfectly valid EXIF headers before import into iPhoto

Anybody noticing the same issue?

hi djiti,
DXO up to date,
Lion up to date,
iPhoto up to date (? I want to hear you say yes),
I am at a loss.
Some apps do not read the same info in the same place in the exif: iPhoto reads the "Creation Date" from "modification date" created in another app, for example; I use "A Better Attributes" app, to change the Exif in that case. But I have never seen that the Exif is "corrupted" by a photo app.

Is there a script to change a setting incrementally when batch processing in Camera Raw?

I am editing a batch of about 1000 photos in Camera Raw. There are certain settings like contrast or clarity that will be the same for all of them. But with the Exposure, I would like to have it decrease incrementally from the first picture (set to +1.25) to the last picture (set to -2.00).
So for certain settings that will be the same on all images I have done a simple "select all" and "synchronize." But I am wondering if there is a script that will have Camera Raw (or any other Adobe program) automatically split the difference between an exposure of +1.25 to -2.00 and apply incremental values to the images?
Any thoughts?

Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge
PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.
To use:-
Navigate to the folder with your Raw files.
Tools - Set Average Exposures
Make sure you do a test first on a temp folder of the raw files!
#target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
setExposure = MenuElement.create("command", "Set Average Exposures", "at the end of Tools","exp");
setExposure.onSelect = function () {
var d=app.document;
d.deselectAll();
var sels = d.getSelection("cr2,crw,nef,mos,orf");
var noOfFiles =sels.length;
var diff = (3.25 / (noOfFiles-1));
var exp = 1.25;
var exp2=exp;
for(var a = 0;a<noOfFiles;a++){
    exp2 = exp - (diff*(a)).toFixed(3);
    var file = new File(sels[a].spec.toString().replace(/\....$/,'.xmp'));
    setExposure( file, exp2 )
app.document.chooseMenuItem('PurgeCache');
function setExposure( file, expose ){
     file.open('r');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix";
     file.open("r", "TEXT", "????");
     var xmpStr = file.read();
     file.close();
     if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
     var xmp = new XMPMeta( xmpStr );
     xmp.setProperty( XMPConst.NS_CAMERA_RAW, "Exposure", Number(expose) );
     file.open('w');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix";
     file.write( xmp.serialize() );
     file.close();

Can't batch process opening files with certicate encryption

Using Acrobat 9.0 pro.
I am unable to batch proces files that are certicate encrypted.
When batch processed a dialog message appears that reads;
Cannot open document
No files were processed
I have used the instructions that adobe has for using the associated digital id and ensuring this is logged in.
And also have set preferences for batch processing security method to certificate security, no password and, password security.
FYI: I Don't have livecycle so can't try this.
Can anyone help with a solution for doing this.
I was able to create certificate encrypted files using batch processing so can't understand why I now can't open and print file created this way, since
Acrobat help indicates this can be done.
Adobe instructions indicate this should work??? What's wrong here.
Thanks in advance

I may have to do with the name of the folder, such as having periods or slashes in the folder name.

IPhoto unable to export EXIF information correctly for photos with color filters

I have imported photos from my phone to iPhoto and noticed that some of the photos do not have EXIF information when exporting to other places or synced back to iPhone.When I am trying to view the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
The date shown in the iPhone photo moment tab is the import date rather than the original date when the photos were taken.
When I am trying toview the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
(for example: the photo was taken in Dec 1, 2012, imported to iPhoto in Nov 1, 2014, and synced back to iPhone.
the date shown in iPhone is Nov 1, 2014, the date shown in iPhoto is Dec 1, 2012.)
After further looking into the details of the photo, i have noticed that theses photos are taken with color filters in iPhone or bursting photos or panoramas.
(e.g a mono or fade filter choosed when taking photo in iPhone camera).
When choose " reveal in finder" option in iPhoto for these photos, there are two options : view original or modified.
the original files contain EXIF information and the modified files do not.
the original files show photo without color filter
the modified files shows photo with color filter, the modified photos are what the photos were contained in iPhone originally.
When exported syncing these photos, the modified files was exported/synced, however, no EXIF information was exported. photos only contains the creation date.
These resulted in a mess in the photo collection in my phone. photos were displayed in wrong order.
When i export these photo to another location for back up purposes, i choose "include all location information, name, keyword", only the modified photos were exported without any EXIF information.
The only way I found is reveal these photos in finder.
iPhoto seems unable to export/sync photos that are taken with color filters/ panorama photos/ bursting photos.
is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you!

i have just taken a photo with effects and imported to iPhoto, The EXIF can be exported. The problem is syncing.
I think this problem only happen to photo taken before iOS 8.
EXIF of photo with effects unable be synced back to iPhone.
Apple acknowledged that the new Photos.app in iOS 8 is handling edits differently, see:
iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices
In iOS 8 edited versions are stored in a different way from previously. And it looks like there is now a bug, that prevents the older edited versions from being handled correctly.
Send a bug report to Apple. You could use the feedback form, if you do not have a developer account: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Missing EXIF data when PRINTING jpeg using Print or Slideshow Module (LR2)

Folks,
Is there a way to have LR2 include EXIF information when you create a JPG via the Print or Slideshow Module? The EXIF data is present if I export via the Library Module.
However, if I "print" a jpeg either under the Slideshow or Print Module, most of the EXIF data particularly the camera info is missing.
Thanks for your help.
Jg

Thanks Bob. I believe I have tried that...when you print to jpeg you have option where to save and I save to same folder and then re-synchronize folder in lightroom. Then I try to synchronized metadata between the original file and the new jpeg but the camera and other exif does not transfer over. The title, caption and copyright does work but your basic info such as camera, ISO, lens, f stop and shutter speed are missing
Regards,
Paul

Batch processing "save for web" color shift problem

In Illustrator CS3, when batch processing "save for web and devices," there is a dramatic color shift in resulting files.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!
Karen.

Make sure the color mode of your documents is RGB (not CMYK) and that your workspace is sRGB.

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.

Fault information from bpel process when exception happens

How to extract all the fault information from bpel process when exception happens?
Are there any other methods other than "ora:getFaultName(), ora:getFaultAsString()"
When I use "ora:getFaultName(), ora:getFaultAsString()", I get the below message,so I am wondering whether
I can get any more information about the exception as mentioned below - "detailed root cause described in the exception message" -> how do I get it?
Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct.

Hi,
As far as I know, it's not possible to get the exception message with a catch all. You need to catch each exception separately, and the you will be able to get each message.

Disable all informations (popups, alerts etc.) during batch process

Hey! I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and the open all batch process to convert various office documents. For each document I have to agree to some alerts like "The document was changed. Do you want to save it" or "Acrobat can't save bookmarks beacause..." - or something like that... I think everybody can imagine what I mean and it doesn't matter what exactly is the content of these popups...
My question: Is there a posibility to turn off all these messages? Maybe with some lines of JavaScript Code? Or pipe these messages to a text file instead of showing it on the screen?

Thanks for your answer. I mean both things, although I haven't yet a JS function so I prefer the feature Batch Processing which is part of Acrobat 6.0
Unfortunately the "Save warnings and errors in log file" preference doesn't work. I think the problem is, that these errors are special Batch Error. But this isn't what I mean...
I will now describe exactly my problem. I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and MS Excel 2003. With several Makros I created special Excel files. With some (not all) tables in the Excel file I made a group (because I want to convert only these tables...)
When I start the batch processing, the following messages appears (which I have to accept or deny... this is exactly what I want to disappear because with these messages I haven't any automatism or real "batch processing"....)
1. After starting the batch process, first message...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
Acrobat PDFMaker have to save the document before continue. Should PDFMaker save this document and continue?
2. ...and then after some seconds...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
'Name of my table' - Acrobat PDFMaker can make Tags, Bookmarks and Links only for tables with the printable area "Whole Table". Delete in the section "Page settings" the field "printable are" to avoid this problem.
Would you like to continue and create a PDF File without Tags?
3. .. and finally Excel also have a message for me:
::Microsoft Excel::
Save all changes in 'Name of my Excel file'?
After that the first PDF is successfully created. Then it happens something really strange. I can see in my Acrobat the little window with:
'Name of my Excel File', 2 from 2
(-a progress bar is shown with 50%-)
Please wait. Adobe PDF is making.: 100%
and then i can wait and wait and wait... But nothing more wil happens! :(
Any idea to solve these problems?
To implement the batch processing feature in an own JS function... How difficult is it? Are there any examples/experiences? And the most important thing: can i really disappear the popup messages?
Thanks and sorry for my english... ;)
