Image processor [in Script menu] not recognizing PSD files?

I've been using PS since CS.  I still keep a copy of CS2 on a computer simply for the Script -> Image Processor.  Since CS5, the processor no longer recognizes many files.  These same files will batch process with no problem in CS2.  Anybody figure out why the processor has recognition issues?  Thanks for any help.

File names are visible using the "select folder" button, directing the script to locate the files to be batched.  When selecting the folder, you will see the files within the folder in the adjacent tab [windows or mac].  CS5 put a limit of 8 [if I remember correctly] characters on the processing script.  Additionally, some symbols which are permissible in other file naming protocols, no longer worked. 
The experience is wide spread among heavy users of this batch tool.  I have seen many "google" searches on the subject...which is how I identified the naming issue in CS5.  The issue exists with JPG and PSD files; Adobe RGG and, sRGB; each processed from RAW or other JPG/PSD files.  I simply cannot determine why one set of files work, and  another will not, yet all will work on older versions of PS.
Once again, these same files causing issue, will process without issue on a CS2 version I keep for just such occurrences.  I've been using the batch image processor since CS to apply actions to folders of files.

  • Photoshop not recognizing PSD files

    My PSD files are not being recognized.  When I go to Properties and then Open With, and browse to the Photoshop application as usual, I am unable to select Photoshop as the program to open my file.  I am completely baffled.
    It looks like the Open With function is not recognizing PhotoShop, and I do not know if this is a Photoshop error or a Windows error.
    Other Adobe programs are working and are recognized just fine.  I am using Windows 7 and Photoshop CS4.  I am running up-to-date Norton 360 so it is extremnely unliklely to be a virus. 
    Help please!

    Sounds like a basic system problem, not a problem with Photoshop per se...
    First, Photoshop should have installed itself so that it would automatically be in the list of programs available to open that file type.
    Second, if it's not there by default, browsing to the Photoshop.exe file should make it work as you expect.
    I've just opened a file from my desktop using Right Click, then Open With, and choosing Photoshop.exe as you have described.  However, in my case Photoshop is already in the list of Recommended Programs.
    Out of curiosity, do you see it in the list of "Other Programs" toward the bottom of the Open With dialog?  You'll have to click on the little arrow to the right to see them.

  • Bridge script could not read PSD file metadata reliably

    I'm trying to read metadata (specifically, xmp.CreateDate and tiff.DateTime) of a bunch of PSD files using a loop. Bridge script seems able to read most of them but always fails to read some (returns empty strings), though not necessarily any particular ones. That is, if I run multiple times, it fails on different files. Basically, it's just not reliable. Is there a solution for this? Please help. Thanks.

    Hi skc_chat,

  • Photoshop not recognizing PSD files in my windows account but works on others

    I tried browsing my computer for the default program to open .psd files, but when I double click photoshop cs6, it doesn't show up in the list of default programs. Please help, this is very annoying. Photoshop can open .psd files automatically in other user accounts, but not on mine.

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Help needed to enhance Image Processor Pro Script to save transparency in TIF

    Hi everyone,
    this is my first post in this community.
    We have a droplet which reduces the resolution of tif images to 72dpi and save the tif image with transparency. This works fine, but it took to long for the whole process of many picture in different folders. That's the reason why we searched for another script which can preserve the folder structure and set the resolution of every tif image to 72dpi.
    We found Image Processor Pro, which does exactly what we needed. The script works perfectly in CS5 and CS5.5 as it saves the tif with the transparency. Those saved tif images could be used in InDesign with the transparency.
    BUT Image Processor Pro script works not so perfectly in CS6 as it seems that this option to save a tif with transparency is not implemented or does not work in the script. The result is that those converted tif images are w/o transparency in InDesign. That's a huge problem for us.
    This is the point where I need your help. Neither I have experience yet with jsx-files nor with the right syntax of it.
    Is there a way for anybody of you to implement / enhance Image Processor Pro so it will save tif with transparency?
    We used the latest German Version of Image Processor Pro: 2.3.1 (link: http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html)
    (The German version contains only german on screen texts!)
    I am very thankful for every help you can give.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Possible causes:
    1) It probably has nothing to do with your image files, but you won't know until someone else tests one of them. You could create a small 50% gray TIFF file with transparency and post it, assuming you know it exhibits the issue with IPP.
    2) At the download link you provided:
    http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
    There are two installers for Image Processor (CS5 and CS6). Did you download and install the CS6 Version Installer?
    3) Another possible solution other than modifying the script is to reset the PS Preferences file. When strange things happen in PS with no explanation this usually fixes them. My PS CS6 was inflating  all new files by 1.4MB. After examining one of the files it turned out PS was inserting a Costco printer profile into every new file. So don't automatically assume your PS image files are not somehow being corrupted and causing loss of transparency in IPP. Creating a new Preferences file resolved my issue:

    You may want to record your old Preferences settings prior to creating a new one, but test it first with the default settings.

  • My Image CLASS MF4350d printer is not recognized by windows 8-64 bit

I just bought new HP computer from Future shop and it came with Windows in it. but this windows8 doesnt have drivers for my printer Image Class MF 4350d. Now I hve no clue how can i fix this isue. Because I checked on Canon website for drivers and downloaded and run the drivers, but no solution for my printer at all.

    Yes. I have the latest version intalled but this hasnt helped.
    I thought it could be to do with the Shuffle not having enough of a battery charge.
    So i plugged it into the wall charger and then tried this didnt work either.
    It wont even play music for some reason. The only information I get in the earpiece when I turn it on is what the battery level is at.

  • Iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files downloaded from camera and card reader. Nor will it allow me to transfer from image capture

    iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files from either the camera and card reader. Canon Eos rebel dig. Nor will it allow me to transfer images from image capture to iphoto. No problem downloading to image capture.

    Sounds like a damaged card.  Get your photos off the card with Image Capture and then reformat the card in the camera.  Take some pictures and see if the card is recognized by iPhoto and the card reader.

  • Lightroom 4.4 not recognizing RAW files from supported cameras

    I started to get problems with Lightroom not recognizing RAW files from my Fuji XE-1 and Canon 5D Mark 3 cameras but I thought it was a problem with RC. After downloading some files today in 4.4 without a problem I encountered the same error message (unable to inport listed RAW files) again. The files open fine in Bridge. Any idea what is causing this problem?

    Hi Geoff
    I use a Mac with the latest version of Mountain Lion OS. The image files are being imported from the cards; in the case of the Fuji an SD card inserted in the card reader slot on the Mac and in the case of the Canon a CF flash card in a card reader attached to the Mac.
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

  • No image processor in tools menu in cc

    I have no access to image processor, contact sheet II or anything else in the tools menu in Bridge CC

    In Bridge preferences check if there is a checkmark in front of the Photoshop Start up script (Bridge prefs / Start up scripts) If not check it and try again.
    Otherwise provide more details about system versions, exact versions of PS and Bridge and how much free space is left on your start up disk as well as how much RAM and VRAM you have installed.

  • Image Processor CS4 Cannot batch process from psd to jpg ERROR MSG

    I have been receiving the error message "Sorry, I could not processes the following files:" when ever I try to change DNG or PSD files to jpg in camera raw.  It does not matter if I try this with one file or 100. I am running CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8.  I have enough memory, have cleared trash, purged cache....I don't know what to do to make this run correctly.  Please help!

    Thank you for responding and yes, I would be more than happy to elaborate.
    In Bridge I normally change my images from psd or dng using the following steps:
    Tools
    Photoshop
    Image Processor
    change to jpg with a quality of 10
    This has always worked in the past on CS3 and worked a few times once I upgraded to CS4.
    I can do one image or a number of images.  I started receiving the error message stated above
    when doing these steps.
    I have purged Bridge cache, have memory on system...startup disks are not full.
    I cannot figure out why I keep getting this message or how to fix it.
    Any and all help is much appreciated!!!

  • Image Processor type Script Request

    I would like to get a jsx that acts much like the image processor, with more options. Here is what i need to be able to do to an individual folder containing 500+ jpgs.
    I need to:
    -open the image
    -resize via pixels w/h
    -save in a selected folder (new or existing folder, with same filename.jpg)
    -Save for Web at 25% size into another folder (new or existing folder, with same filename.jpg)
    -Convert to BW (this could be done by desaturate or via an action)
    -save in a selected folder (new or existing folder, with same filename.jpg)
    -Save for Web at 25% size into another folder (new or existing folder, with same filename.jpg)
    -close without saving.
    I would really like to be able to have a GUI that allows me to select the source folder as well as select the 4 destination folders. I currently have an action that does this for me, but it requires me opening one of the images to record the 4 destination folders' locations in the action. Which has become too time consuming. Eek.
    I am experienced in coding, but i am not experienced in jsx at all. If anyone wants to help me write it, that would be great. If someone wants to write it for me... ;)
    Thanks!

    Here is a start for you, it will need to be modified with the resize values etc.
    Unfortunatley this site does not like dialogs so please download the code from http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/ in the upload section

  • Why does Photoshop not show PSD file image tile in 'Open File' when Facebook can?

    When selecting a PSD file in Photoshop the image tile just says "PSD" so visually you cannot select it knowing which version it is.  Why can't Photoshop show the image tile like Facebook can instead of having to use Bridge?  Bridge is a huge memory hog and to have to jump back and forth is a pain.  If I choose a file to upload to Facebook, I can see the standard file icons and also the PSD versions.
    Any ideas or should this be a request in the next update?

    That's happened a more than a couple of times where I spend 20 minutes carefully preparing a post and then find out some else got it.
    Anyway, psd icons in the Explorer is a sure sign of the Windows OS. They could work with Adobe to render thumbnails, but seems something I'm not privy to in their internal policies prevents that.
    Chris Cox did offer some insights. The OS vendors expect their rules to be followed, so if the OS does not respond properly, it's not Adobe's job to work around that. I do wonder how third party codec vendors do it. I'll have to ask.
    Btw, John Ellis has a quicklook plugin for the Mac that renders PSB thumbnails should you be interested.
