Image Processor Fails in CS4 -basic script

I tried to run a basic script through Image Processor (Never had this problem in CS3)
The script was very basic: Open all files in a selected folder (all recent PSD files) Save files as LZW tif in another selected folder. Run a single action: "Flatten Image"
Each time the entire process fails with the following Prompt: "Sorry, I could not process the following files" (all the files in the selected folder)
Both folders have "Read & Write"permission.
I tried running the IP on a single open file and received the following prompt: I am unable to create a file in this folder. Please check your access rights to this location."
I have enabled Read/Write on the enclosing drive & I have also tried with "shared folder" selected & Ignore ownership on this volume. I am the only user on this workstation.
I have Repaired Permissions on Main drive.

Suggest to check the files you used. If the files contain duotone or multichannel mode, then the message "Sorry, I could not process the following files" will appear.

CS5 Batch Via Image Processor Fail

Hi All, I have batch problem in CS5 using the Scrips/Image Processor feature. I have an action which does the following to a folder of selected images (jpegs): Creates a duplicate layer, runs Portraiture on the image, creates a new layer on top of Portraiture via a layer combination, then runs Alien Skin Exposure film simulation filter. The problem is that after 144 images process, normally the 144th or 145th image will fail to close. The remaining images will open and close (and save in destination folder) but the action is not applied to those remaining images. If I stop the batch and restart, it will immediately fail again. Photoshop must be closed and repoened in order for me to process remaining images (up to 144). My source images are normally (2-4mb) jpegs and I am saving the batched images as either jpegs or psd's. Either way fails. I am running CS5 with the most current update on a 2010 MacPro (12gig) with OSX 10.7.4 installed. Please help!

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

Weird image processor issue in CS4

All of a sudden this week, both of my computers stopped being able to image process via bridge > ps.
Repro steps:
1. Select RAW image(s) in Bridge.
2. Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor
Expected results:
Image processor dialog opens in PS
Actual results:
Window switches over to PS, but nothing happens.
Anyone else see this?

Suggest to check the files you used. If the files contain duotone or multichannel mode, then the message "Sorry, I could not process the following files" will appear.

Image Processor.jsx bug (CS3, 10.0.1): fail to restore history item sometimes

I have very limited history depth (5 items) to conserve my RAM.
When I run "Image Processor" script, which calls some complex Action, "Image Processor" fails to restore history item (because it was dropped already) in this lines (tere is same line for every save file type):
app.activeDocument.activeHistoryState = historyState;
This line(s) throw exception (file was saved, really!), and file remains open and after processing 10-15 files computer starts to thrash.
I've surrounded all these lines with try { ... } catch(e) {} and it works for me.
IMHO, it here are two bad ideas in this script:
(1) Consider every and any exception as error. In this case, history is not a thing I care about
(2) Don't close files in case of error. It can fill up RAM & scratch disk very quickly.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Add Functions to Image Processor

Can someone assist me or point me in the right direction, to information on how to add functions to the default Photoshop Image Processor script. I do not know javascript but can follow along fairly well if someone has good sirections.
What I need to add,
Renaming files like PSE's 'Process Multiple Files' feature, output as .png in adition to jpg, psd and tiff.
I would basically like to bring PSE's multiple image processor into Photoshop.
I found the image processor script, but dont know java. If someone could assist with this I would appreciate it.
I have attached an image of what I need from PSE. The default image processor in PS CS4 almost does it, but a couple of areas are lacking.
Any info, greatly appreciated.

I don’t want to sound condescending, especially as I also have often had to to rely on some of this forum’s contributor’s help myself, but maybe You should start with working through »Adobe Intro To Scripting.pdf« and then read up on »User-Interface Tools« in »JavaScript Tools Guide CS4.pdf«.
Both pdfs should be located in Your ExtendScript Toolkit-folder (ESTK is installed with Photoshop CS4).
Starting Photoshop-Scripting with adapting a Script as voluminous as »Image Processor.jsx« might be a bit of a challenge.

Image Processor Not Working

Hi,
I used the Image Processor feature to resize and save in a separate folder all the time in Bridge CS3. I recently upgraded to CS4 and I can't get the Image Processor to work. When I select the feature, it opens photoshop but nothing happens...it just opens the photoshop window but does nothing. Can anyone help? Does the feature not function in the same way for CS4? How do I properly use Image Processor in Bridge CS4? Thank you!

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

Tools Photoshop Image Processor NG (CS5)

From within Bridge CS5, the Image Processor does not bring up the options window.
From within Bridge, if I select some images and then do: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...
The next screen does not come up. Nothing happens.... the main menu goes gray, but nothing else happens. No other window pops up.
In CS2 (I know, I'm a late adopter) the what-to-do with the selected images window pops up.
Thanks,
Drew

I am on CS3 and will move to CS5 soon, once the initial frenzy dies. But you say you do this: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor...
The next screen does not come up. Nothing happens.... the main menu goes gray, but nothing else happens. No other window pops up.
When you click on Image Processor Photoshop should load and then you get the Image Processor Menu. Does it do this and then the Image Processor menu items are gray, so don't you get that far?
Can you load the Image Processor from Photoshop? (file/scripts/image processsor).

Script Alert: "Sorry I could not process the following files" (Error Message using Image Processor)

I'm a seasoned Photoshop/Bridge CS5 user who recently upgraded to CS6. In Bridge I just ran my first Image Processor batch, trying to convert a set of RAW .NEF files to .PSD files with a basic editing action I created applied to them. Photoshop CS6 opens the files from Bridge and applies the actions, but then I get the "Script alert" error message "Sorry I could not process the following files" and a list of all of the files in the batch I was trying to run the script on. The files all remain open and are saved on my hard drive in a folder created by the Image Processor script, but do not close unless I manually close them. I never had this problem in CS5 where the image processor would apply the desired actions to the batch of photos one at a time, then save and close. Thoughts on how I can fix this bug?

Hey Jeff--
No specific action steps to make the image safe - no flattening, etc. Had problems narrowing down the specific action step causing the problem. So I ran the Image Processor script in the ExtendScript ToolKit and debugged in. (I'm using the version that shipped with CS4.)
Turns out what was happening is that the app.activeDocument.close() command on line 1490 was never getting called, because the this.SaveFile() above it was throwing an exception. More debugging got me to the problem - SaveFile() tries to restore the history state after making a doc safe for saving as a JPEG. This causes an exception. So I commented out line 1571:
// app.activeDocument.ativeHistoryState = historyState;
The script runs just fine after this. I commented out the close to see what history states got added to the doc, but no new states are recorded, so commenting out the restore line should not cause any problems.
Of course, my solution does not solve the problem and I may need to comment out all the saveFile() lines that does this. Not sure why some actions have this problem and others don't. The actions I am running have about 25 steps. Perhaps PS is not catching up quick enough. I added a $.sleep(2500) after the restore history but that didn't help.
So, not sure where this gets us. I will check about posting an action set with just one of the actions that cause the problem. But I may also have our customer comment out that line of the Image Processor script.
Hope this helps. May post more next week.

Photoshop cs4 file/scripts/image processing settings

I have recently started freelancing for a local newspaper, as you can imagine i could have up to 100 images to process at the end of the day.
I started using file/scripts/image processing in photoshop cs4 to automaticly size my images. this is indeed fantastic instead of half an hour or sometime an hour it only takes 5 minutes...But... most newspaper print at 150dpi and the image processor does it automaticly at 72dpi, i need to change this setting to 150dpi in file/scripts/image processing (not to get mixed up with image/image size please).
Can you help me please.
Joey

I think you got the answer elsewhere.
Make an action to set the size and resolution and run that in the Image Processor or as a batch.

Photoshop CS4 Image Processor Stopped Working

My workflow consists of tagging photos in Bridge then using Photoshop actions via the Image Processor from the Bridge tools>photoshop menu. All the sudden it stopped working, the image processor box doesn't pop up anymore. When choosing a folder manually through Photoshop, it says Sorry I Can't Complete The File...... (like it always says when it's successful) but nothing processes. I have reset all the factory settings.
OSX 10.5.8 w/ Adobe Suite CS4
I need to get this project finished today rather than wasting my whole weekend doing manual actions on nearly 2000 photos for the next week straight. This process has been successful for the past 3 years.
Thanks so much in advance for your time.

…the problem was having the folder I wanted to process inside too many folders…
That must have been an ungodly degree of nesting.
The Image Processor is actually a plug-in script, written by Russell Brown. If you like it, you should try Dr. Brown's Services 2.0.2 (for CS4; for CS5 there's a later beta version available) by the same author and also free. It's like the Image Processor on steroids. I haven't used the latter for years, since installing Dr. Brown's Services.

Image Processor script won't close windows

I'm testing a client's favorite method for converting folders of, say, 1000 images from RAW to large JPEG. He now uses Photoshop in CS3: He opens File Menu > Scripts > Image Processor, designates a huge folder of RAW files, sets the right parameters, and saves to a different folder. Works perfectly (but slowly) on a Mac G5.
Now I am testing it on a Mac Pro in PS-CS4, the setup he wants to buy, using exactly the same parameters. Trouble is, the window that opens on each document isn't closed, and so they accumulate! Doesn't matter whether Tabs is enabled or not. Starts eating up scratch space and has the potential to open 1000 tabs or windows. Something is wrong.
Same operation works perfectly in PS-CS3 on this Mac Pro.
If the Close Window is missing from this repeating script, then it should be added back -- or a checkbox should be added: "Close each window." I haven't been able to create an Action that will close each window without confusing the Save/Save As mechanism in the script.
How can I report this apparent bug? Or can someone please tell me what I'm missing.
(I know there are other ways to accomplish this task. But this one should work!)

From Kathy: "I still can not find out your issues here. You may try report this to adobe through this link.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform"
Thank you, Kathy! This was the tip I needed. I thought that Adobe may, indeed, be monitoring this forum. Many manufacturers monitor and post in their own forums, e.g. Apple.
"Also one simple workaround for you, could be create a close action and run this action in Image Processor."
I really did try this. Trouble is, you run into unresolvable interactions with a Save As dialog. I.e. the Close Action seems to interfere with the saving of the converted JPEG. At least I couldn't get it to work -- but it should not be necessary.
There are workarounds, such as selecting multiple items in Bridge, opening them all into ACR, and then selecting them all and clicking Save File. Doesn't open any windows at all! But the bug still needs to be reported.
From Ramon: "Before your frustration causes you to become overly argumentative, you may want to consider that your interlocutor may actually know a bit more than you seem to think she does. Kathy may even be part of the Adobe team, for all you know."
You are reading way too much into what I said. Argumentative? I meant what I said literally. The behavior of the Image Processor script should not have any dependencies, and the documentation (such as it is) indicates none whatever. Further, the script, when run identically in CS3, runs perfectly.

Help needed: Image Processor.jsx missing in CS4

The Image Processor.jsx is missing from my Photoshop CS4 scripts folder and when I search I don't find it anywhere. (I get "Image Processor.jsx cannot be found" error when I try to do Image Processing in Bridge CS4.) I guess it never loaded. Can someone send it to me so I can load it. Also please tell me exactly where I should put it.

CS4 Image Processor: Why does "Resize to Fit" kill my action?

I had some JPEG's that had some dark shadows. I already had a custom action in CS4 that was worked for what I needed that I could use with the image processor. What I did was just open, do my action and save as a JPEG.
The existing action simply was:
Convert to Smart Object
Shadow/Highlight
Smart Sharpen
Create Vibrance Layer
It worked fine until I added the "Resize to Fit" option in the Image Processor dialog.
While I could see the actions being stepped through, the final photo was just a resized version of the original without actions applied.
Why?
I used to do this in CS2...I thought.
Any help would be appreciated.
John J J

Thanks for your response.
I had already ended up using the "Fit Image" command which works...but the point is that I wanted run the script on several sets of images for different purposes which required specific sizes. It's convenient to do that in the "Image Processor" dialog when I run each set. I don't want to have to edit the action each time I do a different group of photos.
It's more a question of why this does not work than finding an alternate ways to accomplish the task.
i.e. Is it a bug or a misunderstanding on my part?
Thanks again,
JJJ

Help! I am trying to use the scripts image processor in Photoshop CC.

Help! I am trying to use the scripts>image processor in Photoshop CC. When I click on it it comes up with an error saying that it cannot find the Javascript Plug In. I have the newest version of Java installed. How do I get it to work in Photoshop. Do I have to download a separate plug in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Java is not Javascript.
Do you have a Mac or PC?
If PC, do you have this file on your system?
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
If not, you've got a corrupted installation of Photoshop. Uninstalling and reinstalling may help.

Bridge CS6: How do you write a script to assign a shortcut to "Batch" and "Image Processor"?

Many times a day I need to access "Batch" and "Image Processor" in Bridge.
There is no shortcut, so I have to go the Tools-Photoshop-Batch and Tools-Photoshop-Image Processor menu - the items I need are locked into a second level menu.
Which is impractical.
I remember, when I started out with Photoshop many years ago, I downloaded "Deke Keyes" from Deke McClelland, which included keystrokes for "Batch" and "Image Processor".
From the Bridge forum I learned that you cannot assign shortcuts in Bridge CS6.
So the general opinon was that a script was used to assign the shortcuts.
Could you please tell me how to do that?
Thanks!
PS: I tried to assign shortcuts via the Mac OS X Mountain Lion keyboard preferences (applications), but it did not work.

Hi,
in the exit:Event of the 1st date field add this FormCalc script:
DateField2 = Num2Date(Date2Num($.formattedValue, "DD.MM.YYYY") + 21, "DD.MM.YYYY")
You may have to change th date pattern "DD.MM.YYYY" in the way you need it.
