Image Processor doesn't launch
Hi, I'm using CS5 Bridge and Photoshop, and I can't get my Image Processor dialog box to launch in Photoshop when I go to Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor in Bridge. Photoshop will launch but no dialog box appears. I have updated all my programs and reset the preferences but I am still experiencing this problem. Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Been using Image Capture for ever.... Always just works. Now it doesn't. Not much hood to get under.
Set source: flatbed or Doc feed. pick .PDF Set Scan to: Mail - hit scan and the scanner scans.... but nothing happens. It used to open a new massage in Mail. Now nothing.
Any suggestions?

Bridge to Photoshop Image Processor won't run
I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended - V 10.0.1 and Bridge V 2.1.1.9
I'm trying to run some photos through Image Processor via Bridge. After selecting all of the photos, selecting Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor, Photoshop opens, but the Image Processor doesn't run.
I've tried processing other photos in other folders and it works fine. Then I tried processing the problematic folder on a different computer with no luck. There just seems to be an issue with this group of photos.
I check the information on the photos and they're not locked or anything. I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas?Try run the Image Processor directly from Photoshop menu File->Scripting. See if you can select the folder and run the processing.
What is the special with that folder? such as size, permission, special name or special file? -
Issue:
On Mac 10.9.2, running Adobe CC, I attempt to convert a selection of PSD files using Image Processor through Bridge. I get an error stating "Sorry, I could not process the following files".
Image Processor supports conversion from PSD files as far as I know. Why is this not working?
I see on the forums that this error message sometimes comes up when you are using the "Run Action" function, but I am not using this.After a stunningly unhelpful chat session with Adobe Support, it seems that the issue stems from the fact that the PSD files were originally EPS.
You see, I actually need to end up with TIFF files, but Image Processor doesn't accept EPS.
So I thought I would have to manually go through and save each EPS file as a TIFF in Photoshop--but it doesn't even give me that option! Did some testing and this seems to be because the EPS files are in Duotone mode.
I can only choose from Photoshop, Large Document Format, Photoshop EPS, Photoshop PDF, and Photoshop Raw.
As a workaround, I decided to manually convert to PSD, thinking that then I could run them through Image Processor and get my TIFFs.
But now Image Processor is rejecting the PSD files.
What to do? -
Using the Image Processor together with an action - original files won't get closed
Hi,
I just made an action to position my website's name at the bottom left of my photos and to use it then together with the Image Processor.
When I tried it out, I realized, that my whole pc slowed extremely down. Then I saw that the original files didn't get closed during the image processing process ...
Then I made some tests and the result was, that the Image Processor doesn't close the original files if the action in use has more than 26 steps.
Could someone please check out if its the same with his/her Photoshop? I use Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7.
Thanks a lot!Hi,
The problem is caused by your project not 'knowing' about the
picture. Robohelp will automatically include all images that are
embedded in HTML docs, but if they are only displayed via a link,
they do not form part of the files list that is created in the
resulting .HHP file.
A remedy: to resolve this in the past, I've created a 'dummy
page' that is not indexed or included in the TOC, and contains
embeds of all of these pictures that aren't directly set in the
HTML. Make sure it is included with the correct conditional build
tags and recompile, you should find that the linked image now shows
up in the CHM okay. -
Posting gives me error "m4", so I'll try to post it as a reply to this...
Hi all, I have a problem.
I need to save some -a lot, actually- psd files as multiple formats and sizes, such as jpg 15x15cm 300 dpi, or png 600x600px 72 dpi, and the batch function, running with an action that saves and crops every psd like I want, works very well.
But the problem is that if I have a folder with many subfolders -an others within them-, batch is no longer useful since it doesn't -it does?- keep the folder/subfolders structure, as Image processor does. On the other hand, image processor doesn't let me choose any format I want, but only jpg, psd and tiff. -
Image Processor doesn't work with 16 bit images. Tried coverting an open image file and nothing happens. Tried to use from Bridge with same result.
Strange, the script has not been changed since 2009 and works for me with 16bit files.
It is the same script as what ships with Photoshop CS5 -
How do I fix an access rights error when launching Image Processor in Adobe Bridge CC?
Often when I am working on files and want to batch process Jpegs for clients I get an error message from Image Processor. It will state "I am unable to create a file in this folder. Please check your access rights to this location ...."
I have cleared cache and up'd my history levels. I checked to make sure the files were not locked and read/write was enabled. I am not sure why this error keeps occurring. I am using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.2.2 release) with Adobe Bridge CC (6.1.0.115)It's an endless circle.
See if these instructions help: iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases -
I recently installed all the of CC 2014 applications and noticed that in Photoshop CC 2014, when I choose the "Browse in Bridge" menu option it doesn't launch Bridge at all. Instead it opens the Creative Cloud desktop application window instead. I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well. If I have Bridge running, the menu option also just opens the CC window and doesn't bring Bridge to the front either. I have PS installed on both a Mac (10.9.3) and Windows (8.1) and the behaviour is the same.
I only Run windows and my install of CC 2014 works correctly and launches Bridge CC. Bridge CC was also updated to launch CC 2014 and not CC 14.2.1.
Hers is my Photoshop CC 2014 help>System info... You may want to compare your windows systems CC 2014 info to it.

the folder must have moved or something...
here it is for now copy it to ... applications/adobe photoshop cs4/presets/scripts : and it will be a good time to see if that folder is even there.

Image Processor not working in CS 5
I have installed CS5 Design Premium on my Mac Pro at work. (Had installed the education demo, but it turns out my school doesn't fit Adobe's critereon for eligibility - and doesn't take it back after telling you that) although we have qualified for years, and we education people in 14 countries are are the top school in the world on our subject. No biggie, the upgrade's only $50 more with the NAPP discount.
But at home it installed just fine on my Mac Pro and works great. But at work, where CS4 works flawlessly, I can't get it to run Image Processor from Bridge, or import photos into Photoshop Layers, it does do Photomerge, but it also does not do HDR PRo.
Before the settings wouldn't stick in image processor, and I fixed the issue by changing permissions on the Photoshop settings folder in my user account. Now settings stick for Image Processor, but when I tell it to process a set of images, it keeps coming up with a dialog saying "Sorry, I could not process the following files..." and then gives a list of each file with it's the path.
I'm wondering if the javascrpits running this process are broken, or have permission problems. (Image Processor, HDR Pro, etc.)
If in Bridge, I seelct Tools->Photoshop->Batch, it gives me an error dialog: "FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. <No additional Information Available>"
I rely on Photoshop for a very large portion of my work. And that includes processing thousands of images. I cannot see how this problem is unique to me. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? Am I stuck with CS4 for automation? BTW, I can use Applescripts to automate Photoshop CS5. How wierd is that? Scripts I wrote work, but built-in ones appear to be broken on this machine.
Additional information: I'm on a Windows network using Active Directory and my company user account while this is happening. Where it works at home, it's just my own Mac running OS X 10.6.4. I have all the latest CS5 updates installed.But all the
files that are in my home directory (Snow Leopard 10.6.5) give that error.
Do you have a beta of Snow Leopard, to my best knowledge 10.6.4 is the
latest version??
I'm going to format
the drive on Monday and restore my system from Backup and see what that does.
First try the uninstall CS5 suite using the uninstaller that is in each
application folder. Also erase your serial number from computer and run the
clean script:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
It is useless to reformat and after that reinstall from Back Up when you
also re install the current preferences, highly likely you will end up with
the same problem because you copied the old prefs again -
Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor
Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

Rotate to fit / photoshop image processor
Anyone know what happened to the Rotate to Fit feature in bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor? I have to make several web photo galleries and this most important feature seems to be missing with CS4.
To clarify - older photoshop (or bridge) programs, you could put in the dimensions you wanted and check a checkbox that said something like "rotate to fit". So if I entered 400x600px, then photoshop would make Portrait images 600 tall x 400 wide, and Landscape image 600 wide by 400 tall.
Photoshop CS4 doesn't have that option so I have to go through all of my images, select all the landscape images, put in 600 wide x 400 tall, and run the script. Then gotta Go Back... select all of the Portrait images.. and run the script again but this time for 600 tall x 400 wide. Such a pain - gotta be a better way just haven't found it yet! help! -
Connectivity issues - Bridge CC to Photoshop CC - Image Processor issues.
Hi guys.
I'm having issues with Image Processor between Bridge CC and Photoshop CC. I can see in the forums that others are having issues that are close to mine but not the same. I can still see my image processor tab in my Tools menu.
The problem is that I can click the Image Processor tab and it will bring Photoshop CC to the front of all windows, act like its loading, and then nothing happens from there. The run script box doesn't come up, nothing opens.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this and if so how you fixed it.
Thank youI'm having the same result when I run image processor from Bridge. Image processor looks like it's about to open, the wait cursor displays (Photoshop CC will open if it's closed), but then when focus switches to Photoshop, nothing happens.
A few months ago when I tried to upgrade to PS CC 2014 I had the same problem, which was only fixed when I removed all Adobe apps and re-installed CC and Bridge with no PS CC 2014. This might fix your problem if you re-install and only use a single version.
Currently I have both versions of Photoshop installed again as I need the linked smart object functionality of 2014 but I also need my library of extensions in Photoshop CC. (Really frustrating switch to HTML5 only, by the way Adobe)
Does anyone know if there is any way to have both versions of Photoshop installed AND have scripts fire off from Bridge? -
I can't get Dr Browns Image Processor Pro to work from Bridge with Photoshop CC 2014
We use the wonderful DR Browns Image Processor Pro script a lot, but cannot get it to work from Bridge with PS CC 2014. When I select files in Bridge CC and then go to Tools> Dr Browns Services 2.3.1 > Image Processor Pro it just pops up an error message that says ReferenceError: photoshop is undefined.
The actual script works fine if I launch it from Photoshop CC 2014 - just not if I load it from Bridge CC.
I have unistalled it and re installed a few times, both manually and through the Extension Manager CC.
I am using a Win 7 64bit computer.
I assume there is some change in the scripting part that loads Photoshop from bridge but not sure. It worked fine in CC. Just not CC 2014.
I opened the Dr Browns Services .jsx file but don't see anything obvious. This is the section related to the Image Processor Pro part:
// This routine takes an array of files. If called by Photoshop,
// it will invoke Dr. Brown's Process 1-2-3 with the files. If called by
// any other app, it will send a BridgeTalk message to Photoshop
// to invoke this routine with the same arguments.
drbrownserv.process123 = function (files) {
// Bring Photoshop to the foreground.
BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("photoshop");
// Create a new BridgeTalk message for Photoshop to invoke
// Image Processor with the selected files
var btMessage = new BridgeTalk;
btMessage.target = "photoshop";
btMessage.body = "drbrownserv.process123 (" + files.toSource () + ");";
btMessage.send ();
} else {
photoshop.runActionCommand ('611736f0-9c46-11e0-aa82-0800200c9a66', files);
catch (error) {
if (error.number != 8007) // Don't report user cancelled errors.
drbrownserv.alert (error);I copied that .jsx file to a new name "Xbytor Image Processor Pro.jsx" edit that file changed the string Dr Browns services to "Xbytor Image Processor Pro" then commented out all the code that added tools menu items but "Image Processor Pro" and I put that file into
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" even though Bridge CC is 64Bit seems to use theat location.
Bridge CC was updated by the creative clouds update and opens Photoshop CC 2014 now
