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

Buglet in Image Processor.jsx

I'm not sure how to report this, but there's a bug in the Image Processor script that was driving me nuts so I figured out how to patch it. This may be a Windows-only bug (I'm not sure).
The problem is that the when you bring up either of the directory pickers for changing the directories in the Image Processor dialog, they both default to the Windows desktop rather than the path that the dialog shows. Since the Windows desktop is a long ways away from where I keep my images, tihs is a lot of mouse clicks to set this directory everytime I want to use it. There is an attempt to pass the directory picker a starting directory, but that code is just wrong. This occurs in two places in the Image Processor. To fix it, I replace this line:
var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog( strPickDest, this.parent.parent.destLongText );
with this line:
var selFolder = Folder.selectDialog( strPickDest, d.destLongText);
and now the directory picker starts out where it's supposed to and it's a lot quicker to set it to what I want.
If this has been bugging you, you can patch your own Image Processor.jsx file. Just find the two lines that look like the first line and replace them with the second line.
And Robert, do you have any idea how to get the real one fixed at Adobe?
I wonder if this actually works on the Mac. On windows, it takes a chain of 5 parents up (this.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.destLongText) to make the original way work, but I could imagine that this would be difference on Windows/Mac. Since the real parent has already been resolved with FindWindow right in this same function, I found a safer way to accomplish the goal.

John I did your bugfix, but it did not work in my CS2. I'm still taken to the Desktop. Have you done any further work on this "bug"?

Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found. CS5

I like to use Bridge to export groups of photos and with past versions I've been able to select photos, go to Tools>Photoshop>Image Process and select one of my custom actions. Now I get this error: Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

By default the image processor script should be placed in the Application
folder (on root level, not in the user
account)/AdobePhotoshop/presets/scripts/ image Processor.jsx
Also by default in Bridge preferences Start up Scripts Adobe Photoshop
should have a checkmark in front of it.
If you changed any of these there lies your fault, if it happened to fail
out of the blue you first should try restart Bridge holding down option key
and choose refresh preferences.
First check if it works now and if it does again set preferences to your
wishes. (obvious not deselecting the PS script... )
Now I get this error: Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found.

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.

never loaded. Can someone send it to me so I can load it. Also please tell me
exactly where I should put it.
After default install the script should be present in the application it
self:
On root level (not user account) :
Application folder/AdobePhotoshopCS4/Presets/Scripts/ Image Processor.jsx
Here is a link for the download of the script from the Adobe Site, if it

When does the Image Processor perform actions?

Let's say I use the image processor to convert a bunch of .psd files into JPEGs while also using the resize to fit (and convert to sRGB) option. I also want it to run an action which sharpens the image. When does that action/sharpening happen? Before or after the resize?
Can it be that this behavior was changed in CS5 (compared to CS3)?

I would appear that the srgb-conversion, the resizing and the Action are applied in this order.
See lines 1584 to 1592 of »Image Processor.jsx«.
If you wanted to change the sequence you could edit the Script (after making a backup of it in another location, duplicating the Script in the Scripts-folder would seem inadvisable).

Bridge Image Processor always creates JPEG or TIFF folder, how do I change that behavior?

I have searched the web, Bridge forums, and Photoshop forums, and come up empty-handed. (The strange thing is, I know there used to be a post that answered this question a few years ago.) Anyway, I use Image Processor quite a bit, and it works great except for the annoying behavior of always creating a new folder to store the newly-created images.
I remember the solution is to change some line in a (XML?) file from "JPEG" to "". For the life of me, I can't find which file that is! I think it used to located down inside Application Support. I think.
Thanks for help on this, it's driving me crazy!

Thanks for replying! I'm running CS 5.1. Oh, now I see...I've never run Image Processor from within Photoshop, just from Bridge. You're right, it does offer different options than Bridge.
Anyway, I found it what I was looking for.
Open up (don't run!) the Image Processor.jsx file. I opened it up in ExtendScript Toolkit. The path is /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.1/Presets/Scripts/Image Processor.jsx
I'm on line 1574 (in other versions, the line number may vary)
This is what the line says:
var subFolderText = inFolderLocation + "/JPEG/";
Change to:
var subFolderText = inFolderLocation + "//";
Problem solved. Repeat as necessary for other folders you don't want created (TIFF, PSD)
Back to work!

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.

Issue with Image Processor starting

When I go to start Image Processor in CS5, I get "Image Processor.jsx could not be found". Please help. Thanks.

Search your machine for that file "Image Processor.jsx" make sure it in Photoshop's folder Presets\Scripts\ I would think it would be if its listed in menu File>Script>Image Processor... .

Wish Image Processor always came up.

Not most innovative request, but gotta let you know. Lot of times I select the image processor (from within Bridge) and it just does not come up. So far----thankfully, it comes up after a quit and relaunch. But hoping not have to do that down the road. appreciate it.

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.

Adobe Bridge CS3 not opening Photoshop Image Processor

I selected one, four, and multiple pictures in Bridge to reduce the file size of jpgs. I went to Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor. Nothing happened. Photoshop did not open. That got me to thinking that sometimes while I am in Photoshop Bridge won't open either. Any ideas on resolving issue of "Bridge not opening Photoshop Image Processor" would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Curt Y, Everything is checked in the "Startup Scripts," including Bridge (twice) and Photoshop (twice). Not sure why duplicate entries but there are.
If you mean that you have two of the same versions (both CS3) in there that indicates there is something wrong with your install
If you have any suggestions regarding being able to access the Image Processor to resize pictures and such without first opening Photoshop, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, the work around will have to suffice.
My first goal would be to reset the preferences for both PS and Bridge and then try again
see also this KB document, section preferences reset:

And inhere also info on how to retrieve your path for cache to manual delete it.

Photoshop CS3 - Image Processor; default Grayscale: Size Ratio prompt

I have just installed Photoshop CS3 and need to use the Image Processor to convert a batch of PCX (14,000 of them) images to JPG. When kicking this process off it does not run automatically as I get a prompt for each file asking me to input the Grayscale; Size Ratio.
Is there anyway I can disable this prompt so the Image Processor simply converts all the files in the directory specificed. If it's mandatory can I default it anywhere. Having to keep clicking Ok for 14000 files is going to be very time consuming.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Ok, so it looks like what I am after can be achieved, but I am still having problems.
In your last email one of the first instructions was "start recording an action" - how do I do this? Or is it an automatic feature?
When following the steps you provided and using the Automate > Batch option I get the errors,
"Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"
and then....
"There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop"
Am I doing something blatantly wrong?

Photoshop CS3, wanting to batch re-size JPGs, going: file-scripts-image processor, the batch images are greyed out can't be highlighted

Hi - I am trying to batch re-size JPGs in CS3. I go: file-scripts-image processor and select a batch of JPGs but these are greyed out and can't be highlighted, therefore can't be re-sized. This function worked in the past and suddenly does not. Reading forums on this topic I find I should remove/trash 'Photoshop Preferences'. But I am struggling to find Photoshop Preferences. Really would appreciate simple instructions written for the layman not a computer savvy individual, on how/where to locate these, please. Many thanks.

A few things to try.
1)Since jpg's are finiky with bit modes, make sure your mode is in 8-bits per channel only. (found in the image>mode menu)
2)you could try resetting the preferences by using the 3 modifier keys at startup. ctrl-alt-shift(windows) cmd-opt-shift(mac) Hold these three keys down when you start photoshop if done right when photoshop starts you should get a dialog box asking if you want to reset the preferences)
3)If these do not help specify the version of photoshop, what OS you have and its version. Then someone can tell you the location of the preference files since it is different on windows vs. a mac.

Image Processor bug causes PS to crash (CS5, 12.0.4, Win7x64) -

Hi,
I'm trying to process 64 RAW files using Image Processor, and I noticed that Photoshop (x64, I don't have the 32-bit version installed) never closes any of the files after it has processed them. This causes the RAM to fill, and eventually Photoshop to crash. I tried both via Bridge (Tools --> Photoshop --> Image Processor), and Photoshop itself. I have a new system with 8GB RAM, and when I start up Image Processor, Task Manager tells me PS eats away 6.5-7GB of it during the first minute. Shortly after PS crashes.
My updates are up-to-date according to the update manager. I haven't had this problem ever before, so the cause must be the 12.0.4 update (or the one before it). Is there a workaround or an update on the way? Maybe this is a known bug. I found out that people have experienced the same behaviour with CS4.
Kind regards,
Kimmo

Sorry for the delay in response; the Adobe server for logging in was down for hours.
The reason I'm on the latest drivers is that I made a clean install of Windows 7 a couple of days back.
Regarding the Intel driver I mentioned I downloaded: I had to go another route; the Intel driver "was not validated for this system", so I had to get the latest driver from the manufacturer of the computer -- which kind of sucks, to be honest. Well, anyways, the driver version from the manufacturer is the same I had from Windows Update (i.e. not the latest possible), but I went and installed it anyway -- thinking that maybe it's been "customized" somehow...
Unfortunately it brought no change. Action B still accumulates files while others do not.
I should clarify that the reason why the "Wood Frame" kept accumulating files in the PS main window was that it never finished the process. I tried it to run on pictures that were larger than what it was designed for and thus it stopped mid-process and left the window open.
(BTW: I'm talking about windows and tabs interchangeably here)
"Action B", as I've called it in this thread, does generate a final, processed JPEG, but apparently it doesn't return a confirmation of it finishing to the Image Processor. Without Image Processor knowing that the script finished successfully it leaves the file open.
I see that in File --> Automate --> Batch it is possible to have the process "Save and Close" each file it processes. Maybe it would be beneficial to have a similar function for Image Processor. And not only "just in case" -- the user might actually want to leave all the files open, who knows, but in situations like these a forced closing of a file -- be it finished or not -- would be nice.
I would also like to point out to other people reading this thread that, while this problem can be fixed by simply remaking the troublesome action, I feel finding the cause for it would benefit a lot of people too. Maybe the action was corrupted somehow, maybe PS 12.0.4. has a bug that makes my "Action B" from 11/2011 incompatible -- would be nice to know, huh?
