Image processor in OSX looses its settings.

I recently switched from Windows to OSX. I use the image processor a lot (CS6). On Windows my settings were remembered. On OSX they are not and I have to save them and later load them again. Is this normal behavior or am I doing something wrong?

well, I think I at least found a work around. If I save the settings I want as new camera defaults, it keeps the conversion consistent.

Image processor defaulting to camera raw settings

I'm trying to process a folder of RAW files. I'm using image processor and selecting the "open first image to apply settings" button. It opens the first Raw file in the folder and I can apply the Raw settings I want. This creates an xmp file next to that particular picture. The problem is, unless there is an xmp file next to each additional file in the bunch, it reverts to the camera raw default settings and does not apply the raw setting that I've selected to the picture.
Is there some way to make sure this doesn't happen?

well, I think I at least found a work around. If I save the settings I want as new camera defaults, it keeps the conversion consistent.

Image processor not saving settings for images to process

Hello,
I have raw images taken by a Canon G9. I am trying to convert these .CR2 images to LZW tiff's. This is my process:
In Bridge, select images to process
Click tools > photoshop > image processor
Image processor window comes up. I have the following settings:
     -Open first image to apply settings
     -Save in same location
     -Save as TIFF
          -LZW
     -Include ICC profile (no idea what this is, but it's checked)
Click 'run'
First image appears.
Apply settings by clicking the pre-sets button and selecting my preset
Image looks great
Click 'Done'
Images process
At the end of the process, I get a message that says Sorry, I could not process the following files: (c:\temp\IMG-9678.CR2. Which is the first image in my process where I applied my preset for the remaining images.
The remaining images are in my TIFF folder as tiff images, but none of my preset settings from the first image carried over.
Am I missing a step?
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm lost.

I guess that could mean that Adobe Camera Raw isn’t part of Photoshop’s Document Object Model.
But I suppose in such a case it should be possible to open all the images in ACR and apply the settings to all of them in one step with the Synchronize-button and then use a Script to save all open files.
Admittedly that would be less convenient than Your proposed way, but maybe someone else has a better idea.
»-Include ICC profile (no idea what this is, but it's checked)«
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but You should read up on color-management.
Not including the profile can generally be considered unprofessional (except maybe in an internet-specific context) and a potential source of problems.
An images’ pixels’ RGB-values can be correctly translated to the originally intended color only when the »key« (the icc-profile) for said translation is known.

Image Processor Pro V3 error output (OSX)

Is it possible to put put the list of files-not-processed to a text file?
I am not sure if I ma reading the Image Processor Pro.log file correctly,
it appears to only contain a lit of files that were processed successfully.

If IPP is unable to process a file, there should be an exception written out to the log file. Open the log file and search for one of the files that wasn't processed. There should be an explanation of why it failed. Also, there is a new rev of IPP at:
ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net.
If you get stuck, just email me the log file from a bad run.

Unable to get Image Processor Pro to run on Laptop. Creative CC suite.

Hi, All,
now i been using the excellent plugin from Russel Brown on my work PC for as long as i can remember. I had to do some work from home on Windows 8.1 Laptop 64Bit.
However this strange issue as show as image below just unable to get past this point. Seems like something is stuck. I can close it only. left it for ages. I even tried to trace the system with Microsoft Systemmonitor with no luck.
I have re-installed the creative cc bridge now three times along with photoshop, cleaning out every reference to data settings etc..Still with same results.
Even from outside bridge just trying to run the script from Photoshop directly gives the same result.
Anything have any great suggestion what possibly could be reason. I got a ton of batch conversions i need to save PNGs otherwise i would just just the normal image process.
Thanks in advance.

Its Not Adobe Code and its not shipped with Photoshop. Photoshop versions also has bugs in ScriptUI which is used by scripts with a dialog. Image Processor Pro 2.3.1 has some bugs. Some files formats its saves may have problems.
Russell Brown works for Adobe but he has been pulled away from Photoshop. Xbytor is the programmer that wrote Image Processor Pro he does not work for Adobe and he is feed up with Adobe for not fixing bugs in Photoshop scripting. He stated he will support Image Processor Pro for some time.
Russell web site has this. The Open Source code is now available for many of my script and panels
Because of new projects and a changing demand for my time, it will be necessary for me to move on to new projects at Adobe. For this reason I will no longer be able to support, or update many of my scripts and panels. Never fear! – I am releasing the source code for many of my programs and if you are a programmer then you can use this code to modify and change my scripts to meet your needs. If you are not a programmer then I recommend working with anyone on the list of programmers that I have supplied below. However! Let me make it clear that his code is not to be sold. This is an open and free source to be used for the good of humankind and Adobe Photoshop users around the world
===========================
I do not have a Mac or a Windows 8 machine to test on. On my Windows 7 PC Image Processor Pro 2.3.1 and newer versions run on CS6, CC and CC 2014.. X is still working on it

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.

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 CS5 issue

I've been trying to use the setting in image processor "open first image to apply settings", but when run it doesn't open image. Only briefly shows in PS and closes. What to do?

Hey!
i solved the problem with an action in which i changed the picture size 4 times (4 times saving for web included)
its perfect for my needs!
thanks anyway

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

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

Heh heh heh. It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
Thanks for following up with the answer.

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:

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 you

I'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?

Image Processor Pro and Picture Processor load eps files without rasterizing them

Hi. My name is Lucas. Im from Argentina, now living in Brazil. I have the problem that is in the title. Im new doing this stuff but reading a lot i discovered that both scripts open eps files and because they dont get reasterized, then saved files looks preety bad.
I know that there are some parameters to open eps, ex:
var epsOpenOptions = new EPSOpenOptions();
   epsOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
   epsOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
   epsOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
   epsOpenOptions.constrainProportions = true;
I have to say that looking for a solution a found a script and modified to suit partially my needs. I said partially because i need the script to look folders and save output files with same structure. Here is the script that manage one folder at a time:
#target photoshop
// Asks user for input folder
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process");
// Asks user for output folder
var OutputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to save your Tiffs");
if ( inputFolder != null && OutputFolder != null ) {
   // Makes list of all files located in that folder
   var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles( "*.eps" );
   // Create a EPS option object [height & width are doc size]
   var epsOpenOptions = new EPSOpenOptions();
   epsOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
   epsOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
   epsOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
   epsOpenOptions.constrainProportions = true;
   // Open each file in turn
   for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
      // open the file
      app.open( fileList[i], epsOpenOptions );
      var baseName = activeDocument.name.slice( 0,-4 );
      // put your code to 'save as' the file here
      var saveFile = new File ( OutputFolder + "/" + baseName + ".jpg" );
   SaveForWeb(saveFile,60); // set quality to suit
function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;
sfwOptions.optimized = true;
sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);
activeDocument.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );
So, if you know some way modify image processor pro or picture processor i will be very pleased.
Because i will only use the script to manage eps files and save them as jpg (save for web) i dont need an special button to activate that option. Keep it simple. Thanx!!

You can tweak ImageProcessorPro.jsx by make the following edit.
Search for code that looks like this:
ImageProcessor.prototype.openDocument = function(file) {
var self = this;
var settings = self.settings;
var mode = DialogModes.NO;
var ext = file.strf("%e").toLowerCase();
var isRaw = ImageProcessor.CAMERA_RAW_FILES.contains(ext);
if (isRaw) {
and insert this code right after it:
if (ext == "eps") {
    var epsOpenOptions = new EPSOpenOptions();
    epsOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
    epsOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
    epsOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
    epsOpenOptions.constrainProportions = true;
    try {
      var doc = app.open(file, epsOpenOptions);
    } catch (e) {
      Error.runtimeError(9002, ZStrings.UnableToOpenErr);
    return doc;
I haven't tested this at all but it looks good from here.

Macbook pro looses login settings with thunderbolt display

I've noticed that on occasion my MacBook Pro looses its desktop settings when connected to a Thunderbolt display. Why Thunderbolt display discards my MacBook Pro window environment settings upon boot-up is unknown to me. I can tell when this happens when my desktop loads different backgrounds from those on my MacBook Pro. Furthermore, the option in the System Preferences for changing my desktop background will cease to function. I even notice system wide speed degradation.
In order to correct this and reload my MacBook Pro settings I must identify a specific file named “com.apple.loginwindow.plist” and delete it. Doing so resolves whatever existing conflict so that Thunderbolt displays the correct background and enables System Preferrences to work properly.
I would appreciate very much if anyone has a resolution for this problem.
Respectfully,
TomBoltz

I think you need to do a search of the of these forums to see if there is an answer. I saw a lot of suggestions, but the #1 solution is buying a brand new cable. I have personal experience with that. My son recently switched from an HP to a MacBook Pro. The HDMI cable worked perfectly with the HP. It didn't with the Mac. He got a new cable for the Mac, everything resolved itself.
I have heard all kinds of speculation on it, but it happens frequently enough that there must be something going on. I'd spend $30 on a new MiniDisplayPort to DVI connector or whatever you use.
