How do I batch convert all my images to B&W?

Hi everyone.
I have about 800 images from a wedding. The client wants a copy of all the images in B&W as well. I selected all the images, pulled down the monochrome mixer, but it only cdhnages one image at a time.
I also tried to use the lift and stamp tool, but even tho I have multiple images selected, it still does one image.
I do not have primary on.
Can anyone help?
I would like to just click once and have them all convert.

figured it out, thanks! Didn't see the stamp all selected images in the lift and stamp hud

How did I accidentally convert all my images to 8-bit?

Hello,
Five minutes ago, I verified that my image in Camera Raw prior to importing into Adobe Photoshop CS6 was in 16-bit mode.
Immediately after I imported it into Photoshop and it became a .psd document, I verified once again that it was still in 16-bit mode.
Then I created a duplicate layer, selected the sky, and created a layer mask from that selection.
No big deal.
NOW I SEE, per the below, that I am in 8-bit mode.
Why is that?
Is it true that ANY MASK I create forces the entire image into 8-bit mode?
Thanks!

Thanks fellows.
I'm working in CS6 with a MacPro desktop tower with 18 gigs of RAM.
I will be in a remote location planting trees as part of a project for the next several days, so I will return to this next week and bring more helpful facts to the discussion after checking my History Panel.
When I am in Camera Raw, I make my desired changes and then click "Open", I thought all documents become a PSD document in Photoshop for me. Perhaps I am mistaken in that regard and have inadvertently omitted a few steps in my described workflow.
When I check that initial .PSD image, I recall it saying 16 bit, which is good.
I will check the history panel on a test image upon my return so that we will have more facts next week.
Thanks!

How do I batch convert separate avi files in Premiere Elements 11 to separate mp4 files

How do I batch convert separate avi files to separate mp4 files

For batch conversions, I use DigitalMedia Converter by Deskshare. My version is an older one (2.7), and there is a newer version, in two flavors, "regular" and "pro." I do not recall what limit on number of files is, but have had about 10 in the conversion queue. The newer version, and especially the Pro version, has probably expanded the number of files in the queue, but I could not quickly find what that max number is. While not opensource freeware, my copy was only about US$40. I was so impressed, that I bought two licenses - one for each of my editing computers. I have been meaning to upgrade to the new Pro version, but as old 2.7 works for what I need to do, just have not gotten around to it.
Now, Premiere Pro can do batch conversions too, through the AME (Adobe Media Encoder), but that would be a much, much more expensive solution.
I am certain that there are other conversion programs (some might also be free), that can do batch conversions, and with the H.264 CODEC for your MP4 output.
One caveat: if your AVI files are SD (Standard Def), you will NOT be pleased if you convert to MP4 in HD (High Def), as there will be up-rezzing, and the results will not be pretty. If you need to up-rez to HD, when using SD material, you might want to look into something like Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD. Many users have been impressed by its up-rezzing capabilities, though some have not.
Also, I think that Corel's video editor has an up-rezzing capability, but have never used it, so cannot comment directly - might be great, or not so great.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I batch convert .ai to .jpg or .png in Bridge CC 2014?

I have found where you could "Export" them out in older versions of Bridge but no "Export" function exist in CC 2014.

You could do it like this: http://www.santoshgs.com/blog/189/how-to-batch-convert-png-to-jpeg-using-photoshop-cs2/
But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:
folder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Simple jpg to png batch.
Photoshop: over six minutes.
IrfanView: one minute and 40 seconds.
That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. It's too slow.
Another issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required. This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.
Btw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download @ http://www.irfanview.com/
The batch processing you can find under File-->Batch Conversion <b>
ImageMagick is also free and open source. It is a command line tool, and easy to use for conversions.Will also work on a mac. But it is much slower than IrfanView, a tad faster than PS.

TS1409 How do I mass convert all my videos in iTunes From FLV to MP4?!!

My problem is a simple one that YOU will, sooner or later, face---else you already faced it. It is the DREADED mixed media from You Tube. HOW DO I MASS CONVERT MY ITUNES FLV VIDEOS TO MP4 VIDEOS. If MP4 will play Video & Audio---why do I need FLV files?
1. I have an old APLINE IDA-X001 Digital Automobile Receiver that I have ported my iPOD Classic to via their Alpine Proprietary High Speed USB2 Cable.
2. I have 800+ You Tube music videos from the 80s (what can I say, WE ARE ALL ENTOMBED IN THE MUSIC OF OUR YOUTH and I am a couple of months older than Steve Jobs---Double Nickel or should I say YEAR ZERO of our lord Rock & Roll!!!). When driving, I just want to hear the Audio Files from my iPOD.
3. 90% of said You Tube videos are in Flash Video (FLV), 10% are MP4.
4. You can only play FLV on outputs that have videos, MP4 videos can play in video mode else audio only mode---THEREFORE I NEED TO CONVERT all my FLVs to MP4s on my iPOD Classic (160GB).
5. Yes, there are a handful of FREE Video Converter programs out there and the one I have AV8 will convert FLV to MP4 one file at a time...drip,drip,drip!!!
6. I have 800+ Music Videos---I will have died from old age before my iPod is filled.
7. My DESIRED END STATE is to flip a software switch and have all my iPOD FLV videos magically convert to MP4
8. You Tube Download Modality: I find a song I like and Download it to RealPlayer. Once downloaded, I PAINFULLY convert it to Ipod (can't do more than 9 songs at a time). Once in iTunes, I sync it to my iPOD classic and bam---my videos are in my my iPOD.
9. Currently, the only songs that play on my iPOD are those I've purchased from iTunes.
10. Whudda I Do? The Apple Tech guys haven't a clue. Also. If I can only do it manually (I've got movies mixed in as well), how do I set up an MP4 folder and then only transfer that folder on to my iPOD?!!!

The sync process for contact information, calendar events and bookmarks is bidirectional.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306071
The sync process for iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone is in one direction only and can be synced with iTunes on one computer only.
iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store only from an iPod or iPhone - not for content acquired elsewhere that was transferred from iTunes to your iPhone.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from your Windows PC to your Mac.

How do I batch convert a group of Quicktime movies to H.264

I want to know the best way to batch convert movies in Quicktime Pro with H.264 compression and save as a .mov file?
The QT Pro Player is not, in and of itself, a batch processing application. You can, however, parallel process your files easily enough. Simple open your additional source files and set up your export options for each. As each new export begings, a new progress bar will appear in your export window. If you wish true sequential batch processing, use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) as your "front end" to access the QT structure for exportation.

How do I convert all RGB images to CMYK for PACKAGING - InDesign CC?

I understand that they can be exported as a CMYK pdf - but I'm splitting a project with another designer and she needs to get me all of her files - many of which are RGB - need them CMYK. Thanks!

You can't convert the color mode of links during packaging -- and you don't need to, most likely. Why do you think you must have CMYK? Unless you know the correct output space now, and have no plans to re-purpose the file in the future (and even if those things are true and you don't need to make post conversion adjustments to the color) there is no advantage, and plenty of disadvantage, to converting to CMYK before export.

How to create batch operation to copy images x times per canvas

hello all,
i am a new PS4 user and self taught.
i have about ~65 images that i need to copy 1, 3, 6, 12 times per canvas, then trim and format for web use. is there a batch script that does this (that i could change qty.)? actually trim & web format i could do in another operation later. i think i am using 'copy' as the correct term for this function.
thanks,
William

great. can you instruct me on how to use the script? i must have done
something wrong. the other member mentioned exactly what error i was
getting. did you see that reply?
how good i approach this? use my jpegs or covert to PS files? i have ~300
photos to batch so any step really needs to be scripted/batcched right?
could you develop the script/batch op to input all photos in an folder,
trim/knockout (white is even enough to trim), make arrays (1,3,6,12) and
convert to file type best for web use (not art related just photos of cans
of spray for my new eStore) and save the common files into a new folder (one
folder for each set of 4 photos)?
i could send you all the photos or just a few to test. i can ftp (upload)
to my host server or what ever you like best.
sincere thanks. i will glaldy do what i can to help you out for your help.
thanks,
William

How do I batch convert many kinds of files to PDF/A

I have thousands of files to convert to PDF/A for archival purposes. In Acrobat Pro when I convert to PDFs to PDF/A, 5/6 times there is an error that pops up. Errors are often, "Embed fonts (even if text is invisible)" or "Fix glyph width information" and the PDFs end up my error folder.
When I try to convert Word Docs to PDF/A, my computer (a mac) hopelessly tries to open Word over and over again, and ends up at a blank word document, and the whole process stalls.
I've been trying to figure this out for days and am close to resigning myself to the 20 hours it will take to do each one individually on a free online PDF converter that doesn't ever have errors- which seems crazy, because what's the point of having Acrobat Pro??
Thanks

I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting.
Manual sorting is not meant for a permanent sort order nor is it designed to do so, when switching to a new window or other sort order you will loose the previous sort order. However there is a way to retrieve the last sort order used with a script Paul Riggott once wrote. But I'm not sure you can transport this sorting to a new system version because when you install a system from scratch you also need to recache the files for the Bridge Cache library. It might be possible to also copy the hidden file with the last sort order but that would mean a trial and error procedure.
Check this post, at the bottom is also a link for the site where you can get the script and how to install and use it:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4748987#4748987
Personal I would use batch rename to keep the sort order safe. You can select all files in the content window and add a sequence number in front (with enough digits to match your number of files) of your existing filename. In this way you can easily resort your collection when your manual sorting is lost for whatever reason and also the files will have the correct sort order on your system folder also.

How do I batch convert wav files to mp3?

Just wondering how I can convert a batch of wav files into mp3 files (including metadata).
I was looking thru features in both soundbooth and bridge, but I can't find it (if it exists).
Thanls

Found this FREE easy to use mp3 converter called All2Lame, here:
http://members.home.nl/w.speek/all2lame.htm
You will also need to download LAME MP3 encoder, and copy the lame.exe & the lame_enc.dll files into the all2lame directory to get it to work:
http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php
The program offers a lot of command line type options, so you need to read the documentation to understand all your choices, but here's a 'quickstart' line you can put into the 'switches' line that will make highest quality stereo mp3's using variable bit rate technique:
--vbr-new -V 0 -q 0 --resample 44.1
If you prefer mono to save space, use this line:
--vbr-new -V 0 -q 0 -m m --resample 44.1

How do I batch convert 700 sequences to .mov and .mv4 files?

I have 700 separate sequences in FCP. Each one is 20-30 seconds long. I need to rename them and convert them to .mov files and then also .m4v files?
Is there an easy way to batch this or do I have to do them one by one by one by one..........

Try using the *Export Queue* (in FCP click Window > Export Queue).
1. Once the window is open, in the Browser window, highlight the sequences you wish to export.
2. Click and drag them into the *Export Queue* window. You should see a folder called +Batch 1+, with all your sequences.
3. Click on the +Batch 1+ folder and press the Settings... button at the bottom of the window.
4. Set your output destination.
5. To export full res, the format should be *QuickTime Movie*, and the settings should be *Item Settings*.
6. Include *Audio and Video*, or *Video Only*, depending on what you need.
7. Check the *Make Self-Contained* check box.
If your sequences are NTSC DV, to export .m4v you will want to use Compressor 2, so that you can fix the aspect ratio (NTSC is 720x480 while the iPod size is 640x480 or 320x240. This is the difference between square and rectangular pixels.).
1. In the *Compressor Preset* window, find the +iPod Video+ folder, and the +iPod Video+ preset inside the folder.
2. Click the preset and press the *Duplicate Selected Setting* button at the top of the window. A setting called +iPod Video-Copy+ should appear in your Custom folder.
3. Click on your new setting.
4. In the Inspector window, use the 6 buttons to change the settings to what you need.
5. Make sure in the Encoder section, that you choose your size (640 VGA or 320 QVGA) and pick the proper aspect ratio (4:3).
6. Save your settings.
7. Drag the full res files you exported from FCP into the Batch window. *Select All* (Command + A).
8. Right-click in the Setting column and choose your +iPod Video-Copy+. It will apply that setting to all your videos (it may take a while depending on how many you do at once.)
9. Save your batch.
10. Submit!
For renaming, you might try an Automator script. Search the forums or Google, if you need help with that!
Hope this helps!

How do I batch Convert from 32 to 24 bit

Is it with Wave burner if so, Please let me know. When i use Waveburner it does it to 16 bits. Please help. Thank you! These samples are for eventual use inside EXS

Hi
And iTunes is easier to use for this. My method: Using Finder, I drag my main iTunes folder (the one I use for listening to radio and such that contains all related playlists and folders) out of the Music folder to anyplace else. Then launch iTunes. It creates a new empty iTunes folder automatically, and iTunes is starting from a clean slate. *After setting iTunes conversion to .aif* I then drag the 32bit batch files into iTunes then click on convert. This way my files are located in an uncluttered location - the newly created iTunes folder (and subfolders). After I'm done, and have dragged my converted files to their ultimate destination, I then get rid of the new iTunes folder and drag the original (main) iTunes folder back into the Music folder. When iTunes is then launched, all of your original Library and Playlists will be there. You can create an Applescript preset to do the folder switching if one wanted to streamline the process.
Cheers.
