File Scripts Image Processor unable to execute

Attempting to process several files, simply converting from .TIFF to.jpg and reduce size, yields a "Sorry, could not process the following files:". Other automated scripts are working -- picture package, contact sheet II, PDF presentation, photomerge, et. al. -- but not the Image Processor script. What gives? I repaired permissions, trashed the 'com.adobe.Photoshop.plist' file, and restarted, all to no avail. What gives? Can't find similar topic in forum.

Can Photoshop open the files in question?
Do the files have odd names or the path to the files odd?
The IP has troubles with some characters. The IP has some troubles with files off of servers or attached media.

Photoshop CS3, wanting to batch re-size JPGs, going: file-scripts-image processor, the batch images are greyed out can't be highlighted

Hi - I am trying to batch re-size JPGs in CS3. I go: file-scripts-image processor and select a batch of JPGs but these are greyed out and can't be highlighted, therefore can't be re-sized. This function worked in the past and suddenly does not. Reading forums on this topic I find I should remove/trash 'Photoshop Preferences'. But I am struggling to find Photoshop Preferences. Really would appreciate simple instructions written for the layman not a computer savvy individual, on how/where to locate these, please. Many thanks.

A few things to try.
1)Since jpg's are finiky with bit modes, make sure your mode is in 8-bits per channel only. (found in the image>mode menu)
2)you could try resetting the preferences by using the 3 modifier keys at startup. ctrl-alt-shift(windows) cmd-opt-shift(mac) Hold these three keys down when you start photoshop if done right when photoshop starts you should get a dialog box asking if you want to reset the preferences)
3)If these do not help specify the version of photoshop, what OS you have and its version. Then someone can tell you the location of the preference files since it is different on windows vs. a mac.

Photoshop cs4 file/scripts/image processing settings

I have recently started freelancing for a local newspaper, as you can imagine i could have up to 100 images to process at the end of the day.
I started using file/scripts/image processing in photoshop cs4 to automaticly size my images. this is indeed fantastic instead of half an hour or sometime an hour it only takes 5 minutes...But... most newspaper print at 150dpi and the image processor does it automaticly at 72dpi, i need to change this setting to 150dpi in file/scripts/image processing (not to get mixed up with image/image size please).
Can you help me please.
Joey

I think you got the answer elsewhere.
Make an action to set the size and resolution and run that in the Image Processor or as a batch.

Help! I am trying to use the scripts image processor in Photoshop CC.

Help! I am trying to use the scripts>image processor in Photoshop CC. When I click on it it comes up with an error saying that it cannot find the Javascript Plug In. I have the newest version of Java installed. How do I get it to work in Photoshop. Do I have to download a separate plug in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Java is not Javascript.
Do you have a Mac or PC?
If PC, do you have this file on your system?
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
If not, you've got a corrupted installation of Photoshop. Uninstalling and reinstalling may help.

Photoshop Scripts/Image Processor / Action Error

CS3:
My image processor has been working just fine with this action.. but for some reason out of the blue it says "sorry I could not process files:" and lists all the files that was processed. now its funny because it works just fine, the action is applied and it saves just fine but it doesn’t close the current window any longer and it gives that error.
the action is pretty complex but it only copies and rename layers and applies one filter.
again it worked just fine not too long ago.. I'm not sure what happened...
here is a copy of the action ... it uses portraiture plug-in filter in the beginning...
http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/29/194220/File%20start%20action.atn
any help would be great!
Thanks!!

Contact Adobe support, you hit a bug. I never seen that one pop up before.
But in general what it is saying is it is trying to create a window and to do so it needs to reference a constructor.
That constructor should have been automatically created or a programmer creates one from scratch, that depends on how the code was created. Since that bug normally does not appear, I would say a some code pointed to the wrong location in memory hence the word reference. (In generic terms reference means to point to a location in memory)
Try it again and see if it repeats itself. I think Adobe will tell you that you need to reinstall photoshop, but its better that they tell you that as I could easily be misinterpreting that error message.

Image Processor Jpg Files Cause LR to Stop Working

Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 1.4.1
Vista Ultimate 64 / 8 Gig Ram / Lots of Hard Drive space on Scratch Drive
nVidia 8800 GTS w/640 MB Ram
Image files processed in Photoshop
Exported via: File > Scripts > Image Processor (IP)
IP settings are default except the jpg output is set to 12/max
From the same PSD file, no modifications in PS
One file will cause LR to crash ("A problem caused the program to stop working correctly) the next does not.
Both jpg files open and display without a problem in...
- Photoshop
- Adobe Camera Raw
- Microsoft Office Picture Viewer
- Apple Quicktime Picture Viewer
- Windows Explorer (thumbnails)
I have saved two otherwise identical files, one crashes LR every time, the other opens in LR fine, every time.
This has been occurring in about 3 out of every 100 files saved via IP.
The next time LR is opened it crashes again if the 'bad' file is not renamed or deleted due to the automatic file updating process.
Trying to import 100 files requires importing them one at a time when this happens because there is nothing to indicate which file cause LR to break during the batch import.
If Adobe Tech Support would like the two 'identical' files they can email me and I'll send them along.

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Image Processor not working for me. Help!

In a nearby thread I've reached a stumbling block. Image Processor in CS4's PS is not working for me. I have a folder of psd's generated on the fly via File > Export > Data Sets as File... and now I'm trying to process those psd's to generate a JPEG of each. The only strange characteristic of the auto-generated PSD files is that there is no image preview available within the Finder. When a psd is selected the preview pane reads:
"This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image"
I've verified in my Preferences > File Handling that image previews are always saved. (But I've been using PS for a long time and previews are always available with all my manually saved work.)
So here's what happens when I invoke File > Scripts > Image Processor...
In section 1 of the menu I select the source folder where the psd files reside
In section 2, I select 'Save in same location'
In section 3, I select 'Save as JPEG'
In section 4, I change nothing. No special actions. Include ICC profile is checked.
When I select run I get an error message: "Sorry, I could not process the following files:"
And then it lists what appears to be 3 lines per psd file in the source directory:
The path to the source dir
The name of the source dir
The [source_dir]/[filename.psd]
What am I doing wrong?

The part I don't understand is the "export" Part. File > Export > Data Sets as File.. on my machine is grayed out so I don't know how this feature is used. Is Export > Data Sets as File... used with CSV data sets and Photoshop variables?
Check your Photoshop preferences and make sure you have set in the file handling tab "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility:" to Always using the pull down menu. If that is not your current setting try setting that to see if the exported PSD files contain composite previews. When I use save as PSD on my system I alway see Photoshop save through up a popup window stating generating composite preview image.

Having trouble with image processor...help please!

HI there...First off I just bought a new iMac and haven't a clue what I'm doing so my problem could be related to that. While I'm waiting for Adobe to transfer over my platform I downloaded the trial of CS5 Extended to get me started. I'm having trouble with the image processor...I choose file/scripts/image processor...the dialog box comes up and I choose use open files and then try and choose the folder I want to save them in. I choose my folder and hit run and it keeps telling me specify folder destination. I can't for the life of me figure this out...what am I doing wrong? It always worked fine for me on my PC and CS3. I can't handle saving each image individually in the new folder...
Thanks!!

I haven't renamed anything as far as I know. I made a new folder when I hit Folder option and it's highlighted as well as the path shows up in the processor box. Just when I choose run it tells me to specify a folder. The only thing I can think of is that maybe something messed up b/c I'm copied the files and folders over from my PC but it let me save as on the mac. Also the folder I'm choosing to put them in is on the Mac harddrive. IDK...

Image Processor in Lightroom?

In my photo class, the teacher said to get Lightroom to be able to change the file sizes of my large pictures. In photoshop I would click on file - scripts - image processor. How do I do this in Lightroom?
Thanks for your help!

Honestly, just do it in Photoshop and don't bother with Lightroom if that's your only goal, to change the "file sizes". Why bother obtaining and installing and learning Lightroom if all you want is a function you can already perform in Photoshop?
Lightroom does not change the "file sizes" of your images. It is a completely non-destructive editor that leaves your original image files unchanged (exception: when metadata is written to the xmp portion of the file).
Perhaps you mean "image size" and not "file size"?

Image Processor error

I'm trying to run a script with the Image Processor on my iMac. Here's what I am doing and the resulting error:
Open PS (CS4)
>File
>Scripts
>Image Processor
from here I select the folder to get the images from and where to save the images to and I also set size perameters for jpb, srgb as well as the action I want to run prior to saving/closing.
The images are opened in PS and it looks like the actions are being performed and then at the very end a pop up box appears that says "Sorry, I could not process the following file(s):" and it shows the file names. This has never happened before today. I tried closing PS and reopening to see if that would solve the problem but no luck. The action being peformed has a flatten/merge command built in so that's not the problem.
The strangest part of all of this is when I click OK on the error box, the action on the image completes its run and I see the photo sitting in the PS window as a jpg. I can even see the file saved as a jpg in the folder I told it to.
Any idea what's going on here? I can't do this with a bunch of photos and have to go through and close each one out individually. Sorta defeats the purpose.
Your help is appreciated!

Those actions at the bottom of your actions panel screenshot are simply
a reference to the actions themselves. Check if you actually have those
actions loaded into the actions panel.
In other words is the Kubota Mini Actions Set actually loaded into the actions panel.

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

Color becomes corrupt when I use Image Processor

I always use the image processor (file>scripts>image processor) to format my photos after editing. Last night in the middle of batching several sets, the processor starting saving my photos with colors that were really off. I tried closing the program and restarting my computer. No luck. If I open a photo in CS6 photoshop and then save it as a jpeg there is no color corruption. But if I batch photos using the image processor the color is horrible. I don't really want to unistall/reinstall photoshop if I don't have to because then I have to reinstall my plugins. Is there a way to fix this? I have been using CS6 for over a year now and haven't had a problem with image processor before. Although, sometimes when I open a photo in photoshop, the color is off (like in the left photo) and I have to close the program and re-open it. Below is an example of what happens.

Good day!
Is there a way to fix this?
Fix what? You have not given enough information to assess the issue.
What are the settings you use, do the images have their Color Profile embedded, what are your Color Settings …?
