I need to batch process about 300 very large jpegs to smaller jpegs--how?

I have about 300 jpegs generated from Lightroom.  They are about 30 MB apiece.  I need to make them much smaller, for a DVD and for quick viewing for my client.  I tried using "file" from the top Photoshop menu bar, to "scripts" to "image processor," which I usually use  (but usually converting from dng to jpegs).  This time, no matter what sizes I entered in the ensuing window, the final jpeg size was 32KB.  This is too small!
How do I do this without overwriting the original photos, and getting useful final jpeg sizes?
Thanks,
Hillary

Thank you for your input.  Unfortunately, I have tried those numbers, as well as many others.  The outcome, for the method I have been using, is always the same. 32K.
I have been using the Photoshop menu "file"  then "scripts"  then "image processor." Again, the result is constant, and unusable.  Is there some other way of achieving this?  What I want is usable jpegs!
Thanks,   Hillary

  • What is the optimum core configuration for a new Mac Pro to process and manipulate very large (80 megapixel) images using PhotoShop and Camera Raw?

    Hello:
    I will be using creative techniques to process and manipulate a large number (hundreds) of very large (80 megapixel) images captured using a medium format digital back (Phase One IQ180).
    Final output will be digital fine art imagery printed using an Epson 11880 at large sizes (up to 60 inches x ?), retaining the highest possible quality and resolution. I will be using Adobe CC PhotoShop and Camera RAW as well as Capture One software. PhotoShop filters will be used extensively.
    The Mac Pro needs to be optimized for the above purpose and be useful for at least five years. I plan to max out all the other options (RAM, graphics cards, storage). Performance is more important than cost.
    The few discussions I have found that mention optimum core configurations seem to lean toward 6 or 8 (but likely are not taking into consideration my need for manipulating a large number of very large files), so I am looking to this foum for opinions.
    Thank you,
    Kent

  • I would need a way to visually consolidate very large clusters.

    It would be nice if a Tab like function was integrated into clusters, so that all of the sub-controls could be distributed accross several pages, but I am looking for anything that will work and still allow me to maintain my data structure (i.e. one big cluster)(I have tried to use the Tab Control inside the cluster, but it does not seem to work). Obviously I can just lay one control on top of another, but I would like something more elagant than that. I have many clusters and arrays of clusters imbeded - maybe if I could just Iconize those items. (Fyi I extensively use Type Definitions, even for many of these sub-clusters.)

    Scott,
    There really isn't a great way to deal with very large clusters, but there are a couple of options.
    -You mention that you have numerous sub clusters. Each of these sub clusters should have a visibility property. You can manipulate this through a property node, hiding and revealing sub clusters at need, and allowing the overall cluster to resize (size to fit, arrange vertically or horizontally).
    -If you are using the cluster to store information between states, but don't have any user interaction for it, just define the cluster in a constant on the block diagram. This could potentially speed up your interface as well. Be careful using auto updating typedefs as constants though, removing things from the typedef can cause "insane" errors in LV6.0.2.
    -You can separate your clusters on your interface, but create the "supercluster" on the back by bundling all of the subclusters together. This is clumsy, but occasionally useful. Feeding this supercluster into an indicator that is held offscreen can be handy if you happen to need a reference to manipulate.
    Good luck.

  • Transcode not needed, but the exported files are very large

    Hi. I imported a video file (*.m2v) and its associated audio file (*.wav) to Encore. These two files were transcoded and exported by Premiere Pro (setting of the Encoder was MPREG-2 DVD). Now, in Encore, I chose NOT to transcode, because the files are DVD compliant already, and second their total size was less than a DVD's capacity (video file 3.3GB, 6Mbps;;;; Audio file 850MB, 1.5Mbps). My question:why did the Exported Dvd have 7.5GB in size?? Though the total size of video and audio is (3.3+0.8=4.1GB). I have a main menue only that has no fancy stuff nor motion.

    Thanks Ruud Blauw. You were right. I used the same assets in two time lines, which resulted in exporting the movie in two twin copies, each was put as a single title in the DVD. What bothers me is that I had no way of seeing this on the [Timeline Viewer]; in other words, I couldnt see two time lines before I export the movie.
    After experimenting, I realized that the first"wrong" situation differed from the new"correct" situatioin in only the [Project Tab]: the 'wrong' situation had 4 items in the [Project Tab]: Video file, Video Timeline, Audio File, Audio Timeline. On the other hand, the 'correct' situation had a [Project Panel] which had only 3items: Video File, Video Timeline, Audio File. This means that the difference was only the existence of an Audio Timeline.
    Although I am new to Encore, this makes no sense to me. But fortunately it got resolved.

  • Can't open very large JPEGs from PSE 13 on other computers

    I've produced JPEGs in the 40-300 MB range in PSE 13 (Windows 8.1).  However, I can't open them on other computers operating with Windows Vista or Windows 7.  I get an error message to the effect that "Windows Photo Gallery can't open - file format not supported, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Gallery".  I do have the latest updates, so that's not the issue.  The photos will open through PSE 11 on one of the other computers, but that won't help if I give the photos to someone who doesn't have PSE on their computer.  Any ideas? 

    Does this help?

  • Can I batch process? I need identical effect processing of multiple video files

    I have just joined Creative Cloud, so these are very basic questions.....sorry.
    I shoot videos of live bands using two cameras, so I usually end up with around 25 separate songs per show and 50 separate files (2 cams, two files per song). All the files are: 1920x1080 resolution, 23.976p frame rate, Pro Res 422 codec.
    I currently edit in FCPX and color correct in DaVinci Resolve.
    Because of low light conditions, I often need to use the effect Neat Video to remove noise. However, FCPX doesn't like Neat Video: freezes up, will restart rendering sometimes, etc.
    So, I need a way to take the color-corrected files from Resolve and process with Neat Video, then import them into FCPX for multi-cam editing. (If Premiere Pro handles Neat Video well, then I may switch from FCPX  to Premiere Pro and do it all there.........but I need time to learn Premiere Pro).
    So I decided to try After Effects for this. I just tested some files in AE and the Neat Video processing went well.
    However, I need to batch process the files if possible. Currently for each file I am:
    (1) Setting up a Composition
    (2) Adding the Neat Video effect to the file
    (3) Using the Neat Video window to adjust settings
    (4) Setting the render settings
    With my approach I will have to set up 50 separate Compositions.
    Questions:
    (1) Can I batch process all 50 files, with one set of settings? (I tried using multiple files in one composition, but AE only rendered out the top file).
    (2) Can I tell AE that I want the render settings to be the same as the imported files (resolution, frame rate, etc.), rather than having to enter the render settings each time? I just want the rendered files to be identical to the original files, except for Neat Video processing.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think Mylenium understood you. You need to not only bring each of 50 clips into it's own Comp but then you need to apply an effect (Neat Video) to each one before going out to the Render Queue... right?
    Here's what I would do. Import all 50 clips into your project. Select all of them and drag to Comp button (on the bottom of the Project panel) or right click - "New Comp from Selection". In the dialog that pops up selct "Single Composition", use dimensions from the clip of your choosing, select "Add to Render Queue" and select "Sequence Layers". Open the Comp and select all the layers (they may already be selected), apply the default Neat Video Effect to all of them (or apply it to one, tweak it, select all the other layers and copy/paste it).
    Now download this script...
    http://www.redefinery.com/ae/view.php?item=rd_RenderLayers
    In After Effects go to File/Scripts/Run Script File and choose the rd_RenderLayers script. Make sure you are happy with the Render Module settings and the file naming and off you go.
    You'll have all 50 clips in 1 Comp, with one place to copy effects and then each layer gets output back to an individual file.

  • Where is it possible to batch process the size of images?--I am able to change pixel dimensions in image processor but not image size in inches.

    Hi- I need to batch process images for video project.  I am able to change the pixel dimensions in the image processor but don't seem to have the option to change image size in inches.  Please advise!  Thanks

    You don't need inches for video (or screen viewing in general). It all goes by pixel count. Inches is for print, nothing else.
    But to answer the question, you can run actions in the Image Processor, and this is where you set size in inches. Just bring up Image Size, uncheck "resample image", and specify size. You'll notice resolution changes to reflect the fact that the existing image pixels are now redistributed over the new print size.
    But again, screen doesn't care about size or resolution. It only counts pixels.

  • Batch processing - sequential actions (CS5)

    I would appreciate any help for the following scenario as no internet search has been useful so far.
    I need to batch process a set of folders, each with subfolders inside, and each subfolder with 3 images as follows:
    -TWG 1
      - subfolder 1
         - green 1.tif
         - blue 1.tif
         - red 1
      - subfolder 2
         - green 2.tif
         - blue 2.tif
         - red 2.tif
      - subfolder 3 .....
    - TWG 2....
    - TWG 3....
    My goal is to take green 1, blue 1, red 1 and combine them into a single image placing each into the respective color channels.
    Combo 1.tiff = red channel (image from red 1), blue channel (blue 1), green channel (green 1)
    I have already created 2 actions as follows:
    Action 1 - autocontrast each image - purpose is to open all 3 images using batch processing and leave them open for action 2
    Action 2 - combine the 3 open files into a single combo.tif and closes all files leaving no files opened
    My questions are as follows:
    1) Is it possible to batch process a folder that opens all images prior to proceeding through the action? This would allow me to open the 3 files in each subfolder and process them all together, skipping action 1 that I already created
    2) Is there a way to automate a batch such that sequential actions are used? For example A) batch is processed through action 1 first, and then B) action 2 kicks after all 3 pics have already been opened from action 1
    3) Can I automate this entire process for the parent folder of everything? (Pictures/TWG1-9/subfolders1-9/green1, red1, blue1)
    I appreciate any help or advice in this matter.
    Thanks.

    You'll probably have to use a script if you want to automate things at the high level of being able to traverse multiple folders.  I'm no scripting expert, but I know there are a lot of them about, especially here:

  • How to use the same (selection) paths in multiple images for batch processing?

    I have a whole bunch of photos I need to batch process, but, when creating an action for this, I stumbled upon the problem that the paths I selected with the pen tool, and saved under the "Paths" tab need to be in every image for to be used in the action. I did try to solve it for some time, but couldn't figure out. Any ideas?
    Many Thanks
    Carlos

    Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded.  In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents.  Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size.  Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path.  It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

  • Camera Raw adjustments not applying to batch process

    Hey friends,
    On a 2008 iMac running 10.5.7, latest version of Camera Raw & Bridge/Photoshop, I opened 650 Canon 5D raw files in Camera Raw, made adjustments to most of those files, then clicked Done.
    In Bridge Im batch processing all the files to Jpeg, now in Bridges thumbnails I can see all the adjustments I did in Camera Raw were applied, but yet when I batch process them, no adjustments are being applied, any idea what the issue could be?

    Re: Warning serious issue with ACR edits not updating
    How did you record the Photoshop batch action? Make sure the "Image Setting" item is checked in the setting flyout menu when recording any actions that open raw image if you want each image's setting to be used.
    The preview building process in Bridge has nothing to do whatsoever with the saving of image settings.
    Also, if you are using any PhotoKit product, you need to update to the most recent version.

  • Batch Processing error - using paths

    I need to batch process mutiple files where 'select Path1/copy/paste' is part of the action. All images contain a path named Path 1 but the action is only working on 30% of the images - can anyone help me understand why?
    I'm using PS 5.1 on a mac.

    Do all the images have a Background layer?
    (the step in your action to Select layer 'Background")
    At the bottom of the batch dialog you could set the Errors to Stop for Errors and that might narrow it down.
    Or specify a place to write the Error log file and then look at that.
    Did the action work okay in a previous photoshop version?

  • Acrobat Pro X batch processing different in Win 7

    Greetings,
    My company just completed moving everyone from Win XP to Win 7 (yes, I know, but better late than never). I regularily use Acrobat Pro X to batch process and password protect large numbers of a variety of documents (Word, Publisher, Excel and PowerPoint 2-up printouts.)
    Under Windows XP the process was pretty straight forward:
    1) Open Acrobat Pro
    2) Secect "Batch Process" File -> Create -> Batch Create Multiple files... (a window appears).
    3) Drag a large group of documents into the window (you can drag over 50 docs, it doesn't matter), then begin the process (which automatically walks through all the documents and PDFs them.)
    4) When the process is complete, open up the Action Wizard File -> Action Wizard -> Select the appropriate action
    5) A window appears, drag the PDFs into the window and go. All PDS quickly get the security applied.
    Done
    With Windows 7 the functionality is different (I really don't know if it is the operating system change or some type of policy change that I am unaware of). The process is far slower because I literally have to PDF and Apply Security to each document one at a time. The process goes like this:
    Under Windows 7:
    1) Select a group of documents, but NO MORE THAN 15.
    2) Drag the documents over the "Acrobat Pro X" icon and launch them this way. Each document created a "temporary PDF". Multiple windows open up, stacked on top of each other.
    3) Go to each window individually and first save the file (that way the file name is preserved), then go to the Action Wizard and apply the security. Then close the PDF.
    4) Repeat this process for each open window (document).
    5) Repeat as necessary until you have the several hundred documents processed.
    Literally this is a "hands-on" process for each document. Is there a better way? Am I missing something in the Acrobat or Windows 7 settings?
    If I try to batch process the old way under Windows 7 I get a series of error messages for each document. (I can't even get to the action wizard process.)
    Any suggestions?
    Is there a third party app that will work without having to administer it so much?
    Thank you,
    TPK

    Hi Test Screen Name,
    While reproducing the problem I realized I was in error as to how far in the sequence the problem occured. I actually do get as far as batch creating PDF,. The only difference there is that I can no longer "drag and drop" files in the batch create window. I have to use the "Add files..." command in the upper left of the batch create window.
    So, the application batch creates the files. Afterward, I use the Action Wizard to batch "Password Protect" the files. It is during this command run that the error occures. (Note: I am trying to save over the old files by having them save to the same directory under the same name, just like I used to be able to do.) The error I get is:
    Action Completed.
    Saved to: \\HOME\path-to-original-files\
    Warning/Errors
    The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
    Document: Name of document1.pdf
    Output: Name of document1.pdf
    The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
    Document: Name of document2.pdf
    Output: Name of document2.pdf
    The error message loops through all the documents. I don't have the documents open or in use. By default they shouldn't be "read-only". This all did not occure when I previously used the application with Windows XP.
    I have not yet tried saving them to a different directory. I will try that later today. (I didn't want to have a lot of versions of the same documents, it tends to be confusing.)
    Thank you for your reply,
    TPK
