How to automate saving the same image multiple times?

Hello. I wish to save the same image multiple times in a folder... is there a way to automate this function? I also need the flexibility of determining the starting number in this image sequence. Thanks.

Good day!
I would recommend asking for help over at
Photoshop Scripting
And going into more detail about what you want to achieve (maybe post a screenshot, diagram, mock-up to illustrate it).

Loading the same image multiple times

I'm trying to dynamically load a single image multiple times
into flash. Basically I want to end up with two movieclips mc1 and
mc2 that contain the image. I'm currently using the Loader
component (connected to the ProgressBar) to dynamically load the
image. It works fine for loading the image once but I'm really not
sure how to go about creating a second movie clip with the image.
Here's my code for loading the first image:
var mc1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.complete = function(eventObj:Object){
nextFrame();
imageLoader.addEventListener("complete", listener);
mc1 = imageLoader.content;
imageLoader.load(imgURL);
But everything I've tried to load mc2 with that same image
has failed. I've tried 'mc2 = imageLoader.content', 'mc2 = mc1',
'attachMovie', 'duplicateMovieClip', calling imageLoader.load()
twice on the imgURL, and creating a second Loader component and
loading the image again. All of these methods have invariably
failed. Most of them can load mc1 alright and sometimes mc2 even
shows up on the stage but in the AS mc2 is always undefined.
Can anybody point me in the right direction for loading
multiple copies of the same image? It really shouldn't be that
hard, should it?

Well I figured out a solution. Turns out Flash doesn't allow
you to duplicate dynamically loaded content like an image in a
movieclip. But there is a little class called BitmapData that will
do precisely what I was looking for. Here's the link I got this

[JS][CS3] Place the same image multiple times?

I have a javascript that processes a set of multiple-choice test items in XML. The XML structure identifies parts of the item such as intro, question, answer choice A, answer choice B, etc.
I have a small AI file for each answer choice that has a fill-in-the-bubble circle with the letter A, B, C, or D inside. The part of the script that processes each answer choice has a line that does myElement.insertionPoints.item(0).place(answerBubbleFile), in other words it places the answer bubble graphic at the beginning of the answer choice.
The problem I am having is that this ends up creating a huge INDD file and likewise huge PDFs. The same 4 graphics are evidently being stored separately for each item, upwards of 50 items per test.
Is there a more efficient way to do this where I could have only one copy of each graphic and have each of the places where it appears simply be a reference to that one file?

InDesign doesn't support SVG without a third party plugin.
The problem with the file size is not because of the image, but because of the preview, so I don't think file type makes any difference...
If the graphic is a simple vector, you can try pasting from Illustrator as native InDesign paths. Those don't have preview images.

How do I use the same track multiple times in different playlists? I want to rename it multiple times.

Hi, I am an entertainer that want rename a track a music a number of different ways so it will come up in playlist that work alphabeticly.
for instance:
Good Song I want to change to:
A Good Song
B Good Song
C Good Song
D Good Song
So I can place them in different playlist and keep the order straight.
Todd

You can't give a single track multiple sets of properties, but if you want four copies of a song with different metadata then find the original and copy/paste it three times into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, then edit the properties of each in turn.

TS3276 how do I get Mail to stop downloading the same email multiple times?

My mail keeps downloading the same email multiple times. I've had as many as 10 of the same emial. How do I stop this?

Me too - did you ever figure it out?
You can't even delete from the server in mountain lion.... I did it from my old mac, but it didn't work. I keep having 11,000 new emails that can not even be deleted in blocks!!!
Was it a gmail account? Mine is, and my other 2 are fine...

Is it possible to copy the same database multiple times simultaneously?

This is the setup of my environment.
I have a 'master' database that contains the full schema plus some pre-populated data such as default settings. When database schema changes are made, they get made to the master database. When a new customer signs up for the service, I make a copy of this
master database (using SMO) that will now be the database containing all of the customer's information. The database is rather large, and the copy operation can take a couple minutes.
Everything works fine as expected, unless I try to provision two new customers at the same time. It appears that Azure only allows for one DB copy operation at a time. Is there a way to allow for copying the same database multiple times simultaneously?
Thanks for you input. I understand that this is likely not the optimal setup, and that there is many better ways of doing this, but I am somewhat heavily invested in the current process and I would like to find out how to make it work if I can.

BTW, you can do this programatically by using PowerShell (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210569.aspx), SqlPackage (http://www.benday.com/2012/12/18/deploy-a-sql-server-database-projects-dacpac-with-sqlpackage-exe/)
or the SQL Server binaries for .NET (http://www.vijayt.com/Post/Deploying-a-data-tier-application-in-SQL-Azure-programatically)
Hope this helps.

Running the same code multiple times with different paramters automatically

Hi guys,
I want to run the same code multiple times with different paramters automatically. Actually, I am doing some sample scans which takes around 2 hours n then I have to be there to change the paramters and run it again. Mostly I do use folowing paramters only
X_Intial, X_Final, X-StepSize
Y_Intial, Y_Final, Y-StepSize
Thanks,
Dushyant

All you have to di is put all of the parameters for each run into a cluster array. Surround your main program with a for loop and wire the cluster array through the for loop. A for loop will autoindex an input array so inside the for loop you just have to unbundle the cluster to get the parameters for each run.

I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

If you make a picture in pages.... how do i duplicate the image on the same page multiple times????????!!!!

If I make a little picute in pages ... HOW DO I DUPLICATE THE IMAGE MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE SAME PAGE!11?????!!!!

Or you can hold down the Option key while you click on the image and drag to create a copy. Then Select All and repeat. Repeat again, each time doubling your image count. You may, at an early stage, want to align your photos so that they will be in position when you Option-Drag the next set.

I have the same image 200 times on a webpage... how can I relink them all at once?

Hi, first I'm french and I might not be using the right terms in the 'search engine' as I'm unable to find the answer and I have been looking for more than an hour...
I unfortunately saved my htm document on my desktop. After putting the file in its initial folder, I realize that all the link for my pictures were broken. I can update them one by one... But I happen to have the same image featured over 200 times on that same webpage... I'm sure there must be a quicker way to relink that image than doing it one by one.
Thank you for your time.

You should be able to correct that from the Errors tab on the right-hand side of the site window. It should show up as a Missing File. Select it, then point and shoot at the correct image file in the FIles tab on the left-hand side of the site window.

Same image multiple times in one document

Hi there,
I'm a software developer, and currently the system I'm working on produces postscript documents for invoices/orders etc. and I'm looking for a way to reduce the size of the postscript file. One simply way would be to re-use the same image (company logo, for example), rather than specifying it again for every page.
The images are produced using the linux tool ps2pdf - the output is then chopped up so it literally only has the image producing code, and then dumped as-is into the document where the image is required. What I'd like to do is put this postscript image into a procedure, then call it with the height, width, x and y position whenever I need it. Doing this will drastically reduce down the PS file from MB sizes to KB sizes.
This is an example of how the documents are currently produced: Postscript multiple images - Pastebin.com
This is an example of what I thought would work, with the image inside a procedure: Postscript multiple images - with procedure - Pastebin.com
(These aren't actually real documents, just an example of how it works!)
Can anyone help me to get the second example working? Essentially, I copied the image producing code into a procedure, and then I'm trying to call it. No matter what I try, it doesn't want to play - the error I'm getting in Ghostscript is "/syntaxerror in --%ztokenexec_continue--". What I can find on the web about this error doesn't help - I'm not particularly experienced with postscript, so please be nice!
Thanks in advance!

And for why it doesn't work... typical image definitions look like this
parameters including "currentfile" image
lines of image data
What happens when this is executed is that the interpreter puts the parameters on the stack, then calls image. Image reads from its source, currentfile, which is exactly the same source used to execute operands and operators. When image has finished, it stops reading currentfile and the interpreter will resume.
Now, when a procedure is defined the input is tokenised, put in an array, and this is saved for later use.
When a procedure is executed, the operands and operators in the array are repeated almost as if they were found in the input. But this is false security, because it breaks down with inline data. If you put the lines above in a procedure, then EACH TIME the procedure is executed it will read from currentfile - and the current position is probably the call to the procedure. In fact, you can define a procedure like the above but leave out the lines of inline data. Include the lines of inline data after each call and it will read the image each time, but this does not help with your aim.
This was very tricky to solve before ReusableStreamDecode, which allows you to turn any section of your input into a file to be used over and over - it becomes currentfile. This was invented for level 3 PostScript.

Saving the same image with different croppings for printing various sizes

I've searched for this to no avail. I tend to always have a few pictures in rotation that I end up cropping multiple times when I am printing. Pictures where today I need to print a 4x6 and tomorrow it's a 5x7 of the same picture, etc. I am trying to figure out a way to save the file with that cropping. Ideally there would be a way that if I also modified anything else in the image that would also show up in the other versions. I know there is Create Virtual Copy, and that could work if I could then figure out how to change the file name so it would show that it was cropped for 5x7 or whatever. Are there any other creative ways I am missing?

When you create a Virtual Copy it is given an individual Copy Name (as well as the original file name)....default would be Copy 1, Copy 2, etc. However, that Copy Name is editable in the Metadata Panel, simply click in the name field and you can give it a more descriptive name, e.g "VC Crop 5 x7".

How do I print the same PDF/PSD on the same page multiple times?

I made a handbill and I need to print six of them on one page in order to save paper. How do I format the file so that I can print my handbill and have six come out on one page?

If you want to use Photoshop, you will need to create a new document at the size if the page, place your original file, scale it down, duplicate it, align all the images.
When you are satisfied save the new document, then convert each image (or convert before duplication as above) to a smart object. Save this with a different filename, you will then have a template if you ever need to do this again.
The advantage of converting before making duplicates, is you can replace a single image and all images will be changed.
The advantage not converting first is you can have different images aligned on the page. For example a multi page document on a single page.
Now for a easier way under the file menu you will find contact sheet II. This can create all the duplicate images on a single page for you. You may want to try this first to see if it fits your requirements.
Depending on what version of Photoshop you have, it may be necessary to install it.

How to use Java Robot to click the same button multiple times

Hi All,
I am trying to use Java Robot to turn a Windows utility located on the Desktop by clicking the same button on and then off with the following code:
1. Robot robot1 = new Robot();
2. robot1.mouseMove(400,180);
    // Turn on the utility
3. robot1.delay(100);
4. robot1.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
5. robot1.delay(100);
6. robot1.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
    //Wait for 2 minutes
7. robot1.delay(200);
    // Move the mouse to disconnect button
8. robot1.mouseMove(400,180);
    // Turn off the utility
9. robot1.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
10. robot.delay(100);
11. robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);However, only the first click (line 1 - 7) worked. Everything from step 8 onwards doesn't appear to be doing anything. Even instantiating another robot2 to carry out step 8 - 11 did not work either. Also have tried running steps 9 - 11 only. ie skip 8.
My aim is to turn this tool on and off at regular interval.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Hi darth_code_r and Vincent,
Both you and Vincent are right about insufficient time between the release ( 6 ) of mouse button and step ( 9 ) press the same button again to turn it off. You are also correct in saying that it was not necessary to move the mouse again ( 8 ) since it was sitting on the right button already.
Below is the code I have ended up with which worked for me:
1. Robot robot1 = new Robot();
2. robot1.mouseMove(390,150);
4. robot1.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
6. robot1.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
     //Wait for 3 minutes
7. robot1.delay(30000);
9. robot1.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
11. robot1.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);This utility also takes a few seconds to turn itself on and vice versa. As a result, it is necessary to give it sufficient time to turn on prior to turning it off again with the second mouse press.
Thanks to both of you very much,
Jack
