Image processor keeping files open in PS CC - not saving

I am trying to use my watermark action with image processor to "process/batch my high resolution for print files to be for web png" my files all at once [saving as PNG]
Photoshop is keeping the files open with out saving them.
my action consists of-
placing an image
fit image [makes low res for web]
set selection
align
flatten
i used this action in my previous version of PS with no issues.
tried re-making the action- same thing happened.
Please help
Thank you!!

I haven't experienced that problem. But a related annoying problem with batch actions in CS4 is that if I minimize Photoshop while a batch action is running, the program interface minimizes, but the images open and close on the desktop still. In prior versions of PS, I could minimize the program and the batch action would go on in the background, invisible to me, while I could do other tasks. But now, when I run a batch to convert over 1000 files, each one pops open on the desktop, in front of any other open app's windows. It then closes and the next one opens, etc. Which means my computer is unusableduring any batch command.
Very annoying! How could the QA and beta testers have not noticed this?

Batch Action through Image Processor Leaves Files Open in CS4

I am not sure if this is a change in CS4 or something that I am doing incorrectly. But when I run Bridge CS4 < Photoshop < Image Processor (running an action that I have been running since CS2) the files do not close in photoshop after running the action. In all prior versions of PSCS#, photoshop closed the file after finishing the action. The files all save properly. But having hundreds of files opened inside of photoshop causes the scratch disk to go low and slows everything down.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8

PDF files open very slowly or not at all.

I am experiencing an issue on a clients network where most pdf files open extremely slow or not at all. This issue is being experieced by both pc and mac uses, computers on and off the domain. Any one connected to the network. Has anyone seen an issue like this before. We are currently having Cisco troubleshoot the internet router but are not currently seeing any issues there. The isp has indicated that the circuit has tested cleanly. The issue is even seen when trying to download the pdf, it just seems to hang around 80-90 percent of the download.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreceiated.

It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
If you can answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

Image Processor Jpg Files Cause LR to Stop Working

Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 1.4.1
Vista Ultimate 64 / 8 Gig Ram / Lots of Hard Drive space on Scratch Drive
nVidia 8800 GTS w/640 MB Ram
Image files processed in Photoshop
Exported via: File > Scripts > Image Processor (IP)
IP settings are default except the jpg output is set to 12/max
From the same PSD file, no modifications in PS
One file will cause LR to crash ("A problem caused the program to stop working correctly) the next does not.
Both jpg files open and display without a problem in...
- Photoshop
- Adobe Camera Raw
- Microsoft Office Picture Viewer
- Apple Quicktime Picture Viewer
- Windows Explorer (thumbnails)
I have saved two otherwise identical files, one crashes LR every time, the other opens in LR fine, every time.
This has been occurring in about 3 out of every 100 files saved via IP.
The next time LR is opened it crashes again if the 'bad' file is not renamed or deleted due to the automatic file updating process.
Trying to import 100 files requires importing them one at a time when this happens because there is nothing to indicate which file cause LR to break during the batch import.
If Adobe Tech Support would like the two 'identical' files they can email me and I'll send them along.

DMXzone Smart Image Processor .tif file issue

I'm using the DMXzone ASPupload & smart image processor.
I'm having an issue creating thumbnails from .tif files. All other
formats work well. I've tried using the the server component that
came with the product, the .net component, and ASPupload component.
None seem to work.
I REALLY NEED HELP!

You are correct. The DMXzone smart image processor will
upload the .tif, then resize it and convert it to a .jpg file. The
.tif file is stored so that you can download it by clicking a link.
The app I've built is an image gallery. JPG thumbnails with
links to hi-res graphic files.
The smart image processor automatically creates the display
thumbnails, except in the case of .tifs. Which the software claims
can process.

Image Processor keeps crashing CS2

This started this summer. If I try to use the image processor either from bridge or from the automate menu, PS immediately closes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled more than a few times. I've also deleted preferences, but can't solve this problem. Wondering if something in XP is causing this to happen? Very frustrating and difficult to handle many images at a time without the image processor.
Anyone have any ideas or heard of this before? Thanks.

I'm not sure, Curt. Is that something I would have done on my own, or could
it have been part of a Windows update? I have not knowingly upgraded the
video driver.
This is my driver info:
Intel Corporation
Date: 3/23/2006
Version: 6.14.10.4543
By this I'm guessing this is a relatively old driver.

PDF WEB FILES OPEN IN QUICKTIME AND NOT ADOBE

I don't know if this is a browser problem or an issue with my G4 laptop, but web pages that consist of a pdf file don't display properly. The page opens after showing a Quicktime logo, but it is only an initial page of the document. No scroll bar and no capacity to move through the document. Problem exists also in Firefox. Saved pdf files open just fine in Adobe Reader. I thought I had rthe problem corrected as per earlier post. Now it is back, and it is the same in Firefox. How do I tell the browsers to use Adobe for pdf?

I would strongly suggest you make this a separate post. Chances of getting it seen by others who can help, now that it has been marked solved are getting smaller. Also, if I remember, you seem to be using an outdated version of Reader, which is now up to version 9.1 and that might have something to do with this.
Also, Preview App. can be selected as the default .pdf applicaton, perhaps at least until you get this sorted out. It works pretty well. And, if this is a Firefox issue you can post in the Firefox Forum.

FDF file opening in Internet Explorer--not in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI

Good morning!
I have created a form in Acrobat Professional XI and have a submit button that emails that data back as an .fdf file. This is working as it should.
However, on some of the returned emails, the .fdf file is opening in Internet Explorer--not in the associated file in Acrobat Professional XI.
Is this the default? Is there a way that I can specify that it always opens in Acrobat?
I looked on line, and found where you have to associate that type of file with Acrobat
I have Windows XP
in My Computer--in Tools, Folder Options, File Types, I have where FDF files are associated with Adobe Acrobat.
Are there other changes that need to be made?
We have a work-around--we can import the file data into the form--just takes a little longer.
I tested this before I posted the form online, and it worked perfect. Now that it is online, we are seeing some snags...
As always--Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your quick response!
no--it is an fdf file. Has an .fdf extension.
One difference that I have noticed that the file that is opening correctly (in acrobat) was sent from a gmail account. The file that is opening in internet explorer was filled out in Adobe Reader XI from an outlook email.
This is the window that appears when the file is opened.
On the Tools--the only items that are accessible from this screen is the AddOnTools--not all the tools sets.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

When I close Firefox I choose Save and Quit to save my tabs for next opening. It's not saving them the last few times, wondering why?

Upon closing Firefox it asks me if I'd like to save and quit, quit, or cancel. I always choose save and quit. I've noticed the last few times that my tabs were not saved the next time I opened Firefox, I'm wondering why. I've lost some webpages I was saving for later now, because of this.

The computer crashes, due to power failure, with Firefox running. After rebooting, Firefox has lost record of tabs. [History/Recently Closed Windows] is grayed out. So the list of tabs is lost. It should be possible for the software to keep a periodic backup of current tabs, such as, e.g., MS Word makes backups of the current file every 10 minutes, so that the tabs can be restored if the software does not make a normal exit due to a computer crash.

Compressing images to keep file size down

I'm looking for a really useful feature that I remember using in powerpoint. Currently my files are HUGE because pages doesn't resize (mb wise) pictures when I scale them down. I could do it the hard way with Photoshop or take a screenshot and replace it, but that really ***** doing with more than four images. Any ideas??

"Write to measurement file" express VI (TDMS foormat) keeps file opened

Hello!
I am trying to use "Write to measurement file" express VI to write TDMS data obtained from DAQmx in LV2011. Each run of the same write function creates new file.
It seems that last written file remains to be opened until program stops or next file written. It has 0 size and it is not possible to access it from other programs.
Is it possible to save file immediately and close it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems, that wiring "DAQmx task" (for AI task) to "Write to measurement file" express VI does not works in my case (only in exe).
The error is the same as file not found (error code 7), but file is created. Something gets wrong inside express VI. I am unable to debug exe, so I have just disconnected DAQmx task from express VI (really don't specially need it anyway).
For sure, the same LabVIEW version and drivers are installed on target and VI is working in it as well as at dev machine.
Debug error which I had encounter is already published in the forums elsewhere. It seems that the problem is in VI without block diagram inside hierarchy. Maybe with Express VI.
PS test app writing tdms files the same way is working like a charm (without DAQmx task wired).
So, thank you for yor advices, the problem seems to be solved. Maybe I will have a look in more details about the reason of such error, but can't do it now.

File opened in external editor not stored with referenced files

If I open a referenced raw file in an external editor (CS2) and work on the image adding layers etc., the image is not stored where I have all the other referenced files. It gets stored in the Aperture Library. Is there a way around this. I want to keep all my files together. This can be done in Lightroom, but I am trying to make Aperture work for my workflow.
Thanks,
gary

Well, here's the feedback I submitted to Apple:
With the introduction of Aperture 1.5, you offered users the ability to manage their own libraries, and for Aperture to work with 'referenced' images. In fact, because of this very reason, many of us consumers decided to buy Aperture 1.5.
Most of us photographers also use Adobe Photoshop routinely.
But there is a huge problem/bug for us users who manage our own library (force Aperture to work with 'referenced' images) AND use Photoshop (or any external editor for that matter). When we open a file in an external editor via Aperture, Aperture creates a new 'master' for editing -- but does so in its own 'managed' library! When we save from Photoshop, the image remains in the 'managed' library! So now we have one 'master' in our own directory, and the externally-edited 'master' in Aperture's 'managed' library! This is very CONFUSING and renders external editing via Aperture USELESS... no one in their right mind would want one version of their image in an organized directory, and an edited version in Aperture's managed library (where it is difficult to find manually)! No, it makes much more sense to create the edited 'master' in the same location as the original 'master'!
PLEASE fix this bug ASAP! Aperture already has a good method for automatically renaming files by adding (1) or (2) or (3) or so forth when it is relocating files and finds a file with the same file-name. The same logic can be applied when creating a new 'master' for external-editing: that is, it should just create another .tiff (or .psd, or what have you) file with the same name but with a (1) or (2) tagged on. For example, if my master image is \Pictures\Seattle\SpaceNeedle.tiff, then when I open this image in an external editor, Aperture should automatically make the file: \Pictures\Seattle\SpaceNeedle (1).tiff, and open that file in the external editor... rather than create SpaceNeedle.tiff in its own managed library where I can't even find it using Finder or Windows Explorer, etc.
Many of us have this complaint (just search Apple discussions)... PLEASE rectify this problem ASAP as it is completely messing up our workflows by requiring us to manually save through the external editor and then having to manually remove every 'managed' file that Aperture makes. This is really a pain and seriously makes me want to switch to a different image management program... though I love Aperture thus far and would love to stick to it as I believe it is visionary and shaping the future of how photographers will manage their digital workflows!
Many thanks in advance for your time!
Best,
Rishi
