Exposure Droplet

Hi, Can you please advise me on a problem I am having trying to make a droplet in Photoshop from an action I am trying to create.
I want to send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop so I can make an additional two images, one with increased exposure of 2 stops and one with decrease exposure of 2 stops so I have the same image back in Lightroom 3 times. (-2, 0, +2)
I have tried opening from Lightroom to Photoshop and then making an action of exposure layer plus 2 stops then flatten that and choose save so to re-import it back to Lightroom then do again for the minus 2 stops flatten and save again but I must be doing something wrong as I only get 2 images back in Lightroom, the original and an original copy.
I no I can make virtual copies in Lightroom and change exposure there on each but if I have for example 20 images that’s a lot of virtual copy making.
I thought if I have a droplet then just drop 20 images on it from Lightroom it would do the work automatically and speed things up.
I hope you understand the question.
Thank You in Advance.
Russ

No,
following your instructions I now have a perfectly adjusted image - thank you!
The last step 3.) took about two seconds and showed the spinning wheel for a short moment.
What is your camera make? I did this test with raw images from a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

Photoshop CS5 Droplet Issues

So I have to pose this question to you all since we are having a rather massive problem at my work here with this. The company I am working for is a large automotive restoration parts company and we have 7 full vehicle catalogs. Here is a bit of the explanation to what is we are doing.
Basically what is happening is that we use droplets to convert images to CMYK profile for our printer, create a web jpg and thumbnail and place it in the appropriate folder for being transferred to our database. The action we are using for this is as follows.
Save For DB and Web
Save- to a location on our server
Convert Mode- RGB for web
Image size- to reduce the size for web
Export- as jpg for web
Image size- reduces size for thumbnail image for web
Export- adds _thumbnail behind part number
Close
We have 5 different droplets that do basically the same thing in the end. Our work flow here is nothing special but here is now it work. All images are placed on a server(Apple server running Snow Leopard Server 10.8.6) for use in our catalog(linked in to Indesign) all as EPS. For the web jpgs the images are transferred into a large folder which once a week or so we run a bulk loader in our database software for use with our website. Images are transferred to the web server and all is deleted once it database has the image imported.
Now here is the problem. Randomly the droplets will not make one or more of the files when it runs. Most of the time it is perfect and has no issues. Sometimes it will create the EPS and not the jpgs, other times it will create only the thumbnail and others just the EPS and web but no thumbnail. It is just random and across 5 different droplets(only difference between them is where the EPS is saved to, the jpgs are saved to the same place in all of them). We recently updated all the droplets to CS5 .app extension as before we though the issue was because we were running CS3 created droplets but the issue has not changed. I am running them on both an iMac and Mac Pro, both running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and they both have this issue. I am running the latest version of CS5 with all updates(have CS6 on order and will be trying that shortly). No once else has this issue like I do but I am running the most images on the droplets to place in the database so I think that is why I am seeing the most errors. One of my former coworkers was having this issue for years before I worked here and he was having them until his last day here. I am at a loss but I have a feeling that it has to do with the Apple Server that the department is using. I am not an apple fanboi at all and dislike using apple products but it is what I have to do in order to get work done so I continue to do it. So unless the computer knows I dislike it and is doing this as a form of revenge it has to be something. I personally think it is the server but I wanted to though out there to see what others think it could be.
I decided to make new droplets from scratch and have them saved onto a difference server as well as the original to see if it is a server. The second server that I am saving to has been perfect, while the normal server that is supposed to be is having issues. The server is the same controller, but has different RAID banks. The second server is limited access to only me and the other photographer I work with and is just a backup server.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going on or has encountered this issue before?

Yes, open a raw file with Photoshop's Camera Raw, then move the sliders around - e.g., Shadows, Highights, Blacks, Whites, to bring the extreme parts of the exposure in.
It's surprising what results can be gotten from a single raw file:
Several examples:

Raw settings being changed when running droplet

When I process Canon Raw files using a droplet Photoshop appears to be opening the files through ACR and converting them.
To process Raw files I open them from Bridge into ACR and adjust the settings for the files, then click done. I then take those files and drop them on a droplet. The resulting Psd files are beig processed by the droplet, but their settings are being changed.
For example, I open 10 files in ACR and set them to 8bit, then click done. I then open another file in ACR and set it to 16 bit. If I then run the first ten files through a droplet they are all changed to 16bit (the dropket does not include a conversion to 16bit)
I'm using a PC

Clarity and Exposure are per-image metadata that should be distinct per image.
Admittedly I have only rarely used droplets and only as an output export action to apply to files coming out of LR some years back so am not sure if what is happening is to be expected or not, but here are some questions to help clarify what is happening for others to verify if that’s how things should be working or not:
Are you looking at a raw file in ACR before and after being processed by your droplet and you see different settings or are you just looking at the PSD and seeing it looks different than the raw file in ACR?
Do settings change if there is only one raw file dragged onto the droplet at a time and are the settings the same for every image no matter which images or how many are dragged at a time (the settings are saved as part of the droplet)?
Are the settings the same for every image in the group that have been dragged onto the droplet but change from one group to the next (the droplet is picking up the settings of one of the images in the group and applying that to all of them)?
Are the settings different for different raws in the group but seem to be correlated with the previous or next image in the set dragged onto the droplet? (the settings are picked up from the wrong image in the group)?
If you make a droplet with that does nothing other than open the raw file, not even save it to a PSD, do the raw file settings change? In other words does it matter what you’re doing in your droplet for the settings to change?

Open Sales orders and delivery orders are updating credit exposure

Hi
Can anyone please tell where is the setting in config in FSCM Credit management by which we can determine that even open order and deliveries(that is before accounting doc gets created) getting updated in credit exposure.
Thanks a lot.

OK - now this is a slightly different question.
Data is transfered from AR and SD into FSCM Credit Management via PI
Please refer to SAP Help for more information

Open sales orders are not coming in credit exposure

Hi,
We have implemented FSCM credit management, when i am running credit exposure, i am able to see open items from FI (200) but not for open orders (100) & Delivery (400), we have created some sales orders, which have exceeded the credit limit, system should give us a warning message. Could anyone help me to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi Sai,
Additionally, you should check the following BADI_SD_CM, if the implementation of that BADI is correct then it should work.
Best regards,

How to exclude open items by credit exposure calculation

Dear all,
as anybody idea about how to exclude by the credit exposure calculation some old items (in our case all items having document date lower than 01.10.2005).
These are the basic assumptions:
i cannot use a special G/L indicator because some of them already have one and i cannot change it;
i cannot use the reason code field because it doesn't appear on all items (e.g., negative amount open items, and some others)
some items are positive, some other are negative, some have a special g/l indicator and some others not.
therefore i am forced to change rules of calculation. Is there any user exit o bte?
thanks a lot!
Edited by: Alessandro Casarico on Aug 31, 2010 8:36 PM

I think your only option is 'user exits for credit checks':
LVKMPTZZ
LVKMPFZ1: USER_CREDIT_CHECK1
LVKMPFZ2: USER_CREDIT_CHECK2
LVKMPFZ3: USER_CREDIT_CHECK3
Good luck.

Droplet for animated giff in Photoshop?

Is it possible to set up a Droplet for Photoshop that could receive multiple files and export them out as one animated gif?
I am trying to place three files into a Droplet I have made for Photoshop with the Actions set so that it converts them into a three frame animation but it doesn't work.
The Actions I have set up are:
Create Frame Animation
Make Frames from Layers
Set Selection:- To: all
Set current animation frames:- To: animation frames Delay: 3
Are the actions wrong or is it not possible as a Droplet to do this?
Thank you

That will get ugly... You will have to open them up individually, use the animation timeline in frame mode and then use copy&paste frame by frame. The other option would be the frames to layers conversion, but it would similarly entail shuffling around many layers. You'd have it much easier if your images were genuine video files. That way you could simply load them as video layers and treat them as self-contained whole entities...

Retaining original filenames in Save For Web droplet

Automation from LR to PS is going groovy, but,
The output files are all being renamed by the 'save for web' dialogue box to the filename saved inside the action that the droplet points to..
So file #1 is saved ok,
File #2 renamed as file #1 and replaces/overwrites original file #1..
I have added a sequence 4 digit number to the file name in the droplet creation dialogue box but the final file rename happens after this in the final process of 'Save for Web' export..
This is what I want to do.. Ideally..
LR Raw file edited to taste,
Export as watermarked TIF to PS
Action a high pass filter,
Export through Save for Web @ 1200px long - 75% quality
Close TIF without saving.
Es possible?

Hi JJ,
Nope, I didn't change any names.. or do you mean I automatically/inadvertantly change the name when recording the 'save for web' step?
In your image above, mine looks similar but the filename is that of the file I need to have open in need to record an action..
In my case, using your example, all my exported files would be renamed 'webnamed.jpg'
and overwrite each export one by one...
What is it I'm not getting??? !!
How can you record an action without an open file, that the 'action record process' records THAT filename and makes it sticky in the action..
Sorry to come across as really blonde here but I'm just not getting it..
Here's what mine says..

To exclude Open Order Value in Credit exposure for Delivery credit Block

Dear All,
I have assigned the credit Limit block at the Delivery Level.
For the credit Exposure, i have removed the ticked for Open Sales Orders.
But when i created sales Order, that open order value get added to the exposure. I want to have only the Open Delivery values and other pending Invoices.
Is there any option for me to avoid the open sales Order value get updated in the Credit Exposure.
Thank U,
Uwanthi

Hi,
Remove Sales document type from 'Assign Sales Documents and Delivery Documents' node and assign only delivery credit group.
Check configuration in OVA8 for both the credit groups.
In FD32 if sales value is already added as open items and exposure is updated, try using a new customer to test your requirement or reset the customer.

Amit

Why do I get lots of noise in my photos on the D30 at long exposure times with 100 ISO speed? Help!

So I'm using a Canon D30 (3.1 megapixel). My ISO speed is set to 100, but when take phots at very slow shutter speeds I get a lot of noise. And I mean a lot. Can anybody help?

Long exposure time is the 2nd main way to get noise in an image. Not a lot you can do other than post processing. How long an exposure? Perhaps a compromise like ISO 200 and a shutter that is half as long (twice as fast) would be slightly better if you played around with it. Or perhaps that would be even worse.

Credit master records are showing the wrong credit exposure?

Hi,
Some credit master records are showing the wrong credit exposure and therefore orders are being credit blocked when they should have been approved.
The problems occur after the credit limit has changed in the credit master record
Please Help.
Regards,
Chamandeep

Dear Chamandeep,
Trust you have reviewed the open documents that would constitute to credit exposure, and have turned a blank.
In such cases, it is possible to reorganise the credit master data of customers by using the programmes RVKRED77 and RVKRED07.
Kindly prefer the latter as it permits greater flexibility especially in selection of dates of data reorganisation.
In either case, the data re-organisation is resource intensive and is best run when all other users are cleared from the system.

Credit Management: How to include back orders value in credit exposure?

Hello,
We have to have credit management implemented for some sales order types.
Credit exposure is working fine with normal sales orders.
But credit exposure is not taking into consideration the value of backorders which are present prior to credit management was implemented (with horizon period of 2 months).
Please let me know how we can include the value of back orders in credit exposure?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Open order and Open delivery in Credit Exposure FD32

Hello Guys,
I am now trying to include Open order and Open delivery values in Credit Exposure FD32. I have configured the following settings, but the Open order and Open delivery values still cannot show in Sales value under Credit Exposure FD32. Can anyone here advise me what i missed?
1) In OVA8 --> 01 Credit Group for Sales Order, I have selected Static Checks and includes Open Orders and Open deliveries.
2) In V/08 --> Pricing Procedure --> Control , I also put "A" in PR00 Sub Total field.
3) In OB45 --> Credit Control Area, I put Update = 000012.
4) In OMO1 --> S066 , Period Split = Day and Updating = "Synchronous update (1)".
Thank you,
Benny

Hello Mrunal and GSL,
Thanks for your paticipation. I found my configurations are correct. I just haven't trigger the update program to update the S066 (Sales value in FD32). To trigger the update program I need to try to create delivery. If I just create a Sales Order and press Save, the PR00 value will not go to S066.
Hope that can help someone else .
Benny

Recievables amoint is not reflecting in credit exposure value

"FBL5N - Account Receivable Reports-FI-SAP" is showing updated field of "Credit Control Area". But the same items are not reflected in the "Receivables" field of Credit Management Report hence not updating the Credit Exposure. What can be the reason for this?
