How to batch process multiple layers to jpegs

I have over 500 layers of different texts over a simple background image. I need to move through each one of these layers, making only one and the background visible, then doing the same for the next, and saving each out as a separate .jpeg. I know how to batch process the jpegs giving each a different filename, but how do I move through the layers?
Thanks.

Hi, Paul--
You were correct. The normal script didn't work at all. But I'm a bit confused about how to use Layer Saver. I currently have all the texts in groups, labelled 1-50, 51-100, etc. What settings should I use to get it to work?
Thanks
J.

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder

Yes that was the first thing I did. Then I used the process multiple files and selected a new folder to put them in and selected use open files and selected to turn them into jpeg. The images flash on the screen like they are being processed, but the folder never appears in library. Is it possible because there are a couple 16 bit files open that this corrupts the task. Do I need to create the folder first. Will elements not create the folder on its own.
Thanks Vince

How to Batch process a .jpg into multiple image sizes and colour modes

Hi,
I am needing to find an action or script that when run on a batch of Jpgs will open them up run a few actions and save them as 4 different files as follows
start file:
image.jpg
end result:
image_RGB_300dpi.jpg
image_RGB_72dpi.jpg
image_CMYK_300dpi.jpg
image_CMYK_72dpi.jpg
At present I have 4 separate actions set up do do this so I am running the batch process 4 times to get this result, is it possible to combine multiple actions into a single batch process?
thanks for any help on this one.

Batch Process Export Layers Script

I know how to break down a layered file using the Export Layers Script, and it works pretty well for me. What I want to know is if there is a way to create an action using this script, that I can apply to multiple files and batch process in Bridge? I have created an action that in theory should work, but I keep getting stop errors when I actually run it. Has anyone successfully created an action that can export out multiple layers of multiple files?

Joyce,
Thank you. Your suggestion helped clear my mental log jam.
Fireworks batch scripting seems to work in reverse.
Using "Batch Process..." scripting interface 'Export' (as JPEG) option first, 'Rename' (add Prefix) option second, and then follow these by using the history panel's 2 previously saved steps (Numeric Transform, Fit Canvas), batch process now works. PNG file (list) is saved in targeted folder as a reduced scale JPEG with a prefixed file name.
Batch Process allows the entire newly defined command sequence to be saved (script.js). Placing this (renamed) file into Firework's batch look-up directory for scripts (C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Commands) does not work. The file name does not display in "Batch Process" window "Batch options:" Commands drop-down list.
Batch Process only works by recreating the above steps each use.
The new (JavaScript) file is 26 KB. Is script file size limited in Fireworks "Batch options:" feature?

Reducing file size in batch processes (multiple files)

I am now using a canon XTi 10.5 megapixel camera. I'm loving it, taking tons and pics, and see my memory on my computer shrinking rapidly. I'm not too worried about hard drive space as I can simply buy another hard drive. Where I'm running into problems is on my iPod. I have an 80gb video iPod. It is suddenly full, Almost 1/2 with audio, 1/2 with photos. I'm realizing that I need take the 5-7 megabyte files each (photos) in iPhoto and reduce them down a bit in dimensions and/or jpeg compression.
I use photoshop elements and am familiar with the multiple files option. I've used that a bit, nice feature.
Heres my question:
I know iPhoto is sensitive to manipulation of photos/changes if the changes aren't done through its interface. How can I go about taking the original pics for a number of events (talking about perhaps 2000 pics right now) and batch process them down in size a bit without weirding out iPhoto?
Does iPhoto have an option to batch change files in such a fashion? Is it as simple as finding the originals in the finder and simpy reducing them in size and making iPhoto update its thumbnails?
and how do I make iPhoto update its thumbnails, I forget...
Thanks

If you just want displayable image files on the iPod and not the full sized files then a very good solution, IMO, is to export those photos you want on the iPod to a folder on the Desktop. Then use Resize! to batch change the pixel dimension and the jpg compression level of the files. For my iPod Nano I use 640 x 480 and have Resize! compress them to medium. That gives me files in the 100 KB size range. If you want a smaller file just increase the compressions level a bit. Resize! automatically creates a new folder for the resized images so you can try different levels on the same folder. You can get a lot of photos on your iPod at that size. I then put that folder of resized files in my Pictures folder and have iTunes use it instead of using iPhoto.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Batch Processing Issues - RAW to JPEG in CS3

Hi folks,
I recently upgraded to CS3 form CS2. Over the weekend, I spent several hours tweaking/adjusting about 200 RAW images in Bridge, that I need to convert to JPGs. I used a Photoshop Batch action that I created some time back in CS2 to convert the images from RAW ("Save As" as JPG), but it didn't include any of the adjustments that I made to the images during the conversion process, because I had Ignore/Suppress Open Dialog checked. I unchecked that, and re-ran the action but am now being prompted to open each image. I then modified the action to include the "Open" command. Running the script now still doesn't quite seem to work as I'd expected. The only adjustment that is incorporated is cropping, but it doesn't process any of the tonal/color balance adjustments. All images have the modification icon on them, indicating that changes were made, but the Photoshop Batch command isn't incorporating them when opened via the Batch Processing command. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
I'm also very open to any other suggestions one may have on converting adjusted Camera RAW images to JPEG.
Thanks,
Kappabear

Batch Processing multiple page pdf

Using Batch Processing in Acrobat I would like to:
Extract as single pages from a multiple page pdf.
I want the resulting pdfs renamed with page numbers. The first few pages of the pdf are roman numeral pages (index) then the rest of the pages would start as page 1 through 99999
So that the end result would be
page I_filename.pdf
page II_filename.pdf
page III_filename.pdf
page 1_filename.pdf
page 2_filename.pdf
page 3_filename.pdf ect....
Can someone help?

Adobe Acrobat Pro has a batch process feature.
You choose files or a folder with these image files.
You may apply commands like "Recognize Text (using OCR)" for all chosen files.
Than all files may be saved as PDF.

How to batch PDF multiple emails already saved to system

Hi everyone,
I would be very grateful for advice as to whether there is a way to PDF multiple saved emails at once using Abode? I have seen that it is possible to create multiple PDFs at once of emails in Outlook - but is there a way of batch creating multiple PDFs from emails which have already been saved to the system as 'Outlook Items'?
Whilst I know how to batch PDF Word documents etc, this doesn't seem to be an option in Adobe (we use Adobe XI) for emails. Likewise, if I simply highlight all the emails and right-click 'Convert to Adobe PDF', this replaces the name of each email as 'Memo Style' (whereas it works for Word documents).
We have many hundreds/thousands of emails saved on our work system as 'Outlook Items' (done before we upgraded systems and were able to save emails directly as PDFs from Outlook), and we need to convert them to PDF for upload to a new database programme, so it would be very helpful indeed if there were a way of avoiding having to convert them all one by one...
Many thanks in advance,
Zara

Batch Process multiple files in multiple folders

I am using Acrobat 8.0.0 on Windows XP.
Is there a way to create some type of macro to combine multiple PDFs within multiple folders? Or better yet, I'd like to combine the files into a PDF package with security.
Thanks, let me know if I need to be more clear of provide more info.

Thanks!
From what I can tell Process Multiple Files allows input from three places:
1. A folder. 2. Import (like a scanner?) 3. Open files.
So it might be nice if it had a 4th option that would allow files to come out
of Organizer via tags, albums, etc. And if that option was chosen then it
would be nice to save the tags, and create version sets optionally.
But my guess is that from a product design perspective the thinking is
that most people would rather work in Organizer and then perform
actions on a logical set of photos from there. Certainly, that would be my
preference.
What I'd like to do is do be in Organizer, select my images via tag(s),
run QuickFix on them, (all of that I can do), then reduce the file size,
and save the finished product as a version set. Then only thing I can't do
in PSE7 is reduce the file size. Of if there is I don't know how to do
it automatically.
Well, thanks for the help!

Batch Processing Multiple Folders Question...

Hi,
I process multiple folders full of images using the "Include All SubFolders" option under File->Automate-Batch.
It works flawlessly when all the folders I need to process are under the same folder. Example:
/images/folder_a
/images/folder_b
/images/folder_c
I am wondering if there is a way to nominate multiple folders that are NOT all in the same folder (so I can fire off a batch process over night).
Example:
/images/folder_a
/temp/folder_b
/photos/folder_c
Is there any way to use my action as a Batch Process for these at the same time (without moving the images, or folders)?
(PS CS3 10.0.1, OSX 10.5.5, JS for Scripts)
Thanks,
Matt

What about folder actions: you should need a script that runs a PS action on all images in the current folder (and embedded subfolders) only. Then you should be able to use folder actions to launch the script, which runs the action.
Not like I've done this, but...
You might also look into automator. If you can build the action in PS (which it seems you can), either of these two features might help with the rest.

How to batch process in Aperture?

At present I am laboriously adjusting each and every photo in Aperture. Since most of my photos need just about the same tweaks how does one batch process? In other words how does one apply the same adjustments to all photos?
TIA
Ken

heck ya it saves time ...
also, once you have them lifted and the L&S HUD is open, you can selectively uncheck or delete certain adjustments ...
you can also just lift adjustments or just lift metadata ...
very powerful the more you play with it ...

How to batch process psd's into swf's?

I have several .psd images that I need to turn into .swf's. The only solution I can figure is to place the psd into illustrator and save. Is there a faster/easier option as I have hundreds of files that I need to do this to! I also need them to be .pngs. A quick solution for that would also be appreciated!

I have to batch process images into multiple formats as well and Actions have saved me so much time. I work primarily in print, so I'll admit I'm not familiar with the process you need to go through to save your SWF files, but you could always try to record the steps into an Action.
From there you can go File > Automate > Batch which will bring up the dialogue below. The top two menus let you choose your Action and directly below that you can designate the source where your files are (you can open all of them first or direct this menu to a folder).
Hope this helps some!

How to batch process auto white balance

I have 500 RAW photos taken in different lighting situations. How do I batch process these photos so that each photo is individually auto adjusted for white balance. I also have the same question for EXPOSURE.

If you're using Aperture 3.3 or later, you can use "Auto Enhance" to do this, which will attempt to automatically set the white balance, exposure (a mild tweaks), put a curve on the photos, etc. In general, I find it provides a pretty good starting point.
You can do it as an import preset. OR, you can select all the photos you want to edit, then choose Photos->Add Effect->Quick Fixes->Auto Enhance.
If you don't like it you can go through Photos again to remove all adjustments.
Auto enhance is pretty neat; it has 4 or 5 things it does. You could define your own preset that did ONLY white balance and exposure if you wanted as an import preset.
Note you have to do it through the menu at top. If you do it from effects on the left it will only apply to a single photo.

How to batch print multiple PDFs in Mac OS X?

Does anyone know of any new software that allows one to batch print multiple PDF files with a print dialogue for the first file, followed by dialogue-less printing for the rest?
I work for an architect's firm and we often find ourselves printing dozens of A1 PDFs, going through the print dialogue window for each file.
We used to be able to batch print when Preview.app could open multiple PDFs in one window; it lost this capability in a regression when it gained bookmarks and we've been living in batch print stone age ever since.
(A desktop printer doesn't work by the way)

Lamont E wrote:
Open one of the PDFs in Preview then drag the rest of the files into the sidebar. Print the resulting file. If you don't want to save it as a single PDF just select 'Don't Save' when you exit.
Wow! I've been asking this question repeatedly for a couple of years now and you're the first person to mention this. Thanks a lot. There will be some happy campers in our office, I tell ya.
I missed it because all the large PDFs we create include a table of contents and you have to switch to thumbnail view before you can drag and drop additional PDFs.
With the type of files we produce It takes 30 seconds or so to add 8 files together, so it's not ideal but it's a lot faster and more convenient than Acrobat Pro or printing each file separately.
Another option is to open the printer window and drag all the files into it. They will print automatically with no dialog box.
This doesn't work because you can't choose the size of paper you want to print to.
Thanks again, your first post too.
