Image Processor prompts to hit "OK" within an action.

I am making incremental scale adjustments to an image and saving each change as a separate jpg.  The result is a series of jpgs that will be animated as an image sequence in After Effects. 
The scale adjustment and the saving process (using “image processor” because of the sequential numbering of each jpg file) is executed through Actions in Photoshop.  The issue is that every time Actions comes to the image processor window it prompts me to confirm by pressing “OK”.
Is there a way for Actions to automatically accept “OK”?  Also, if there is any other way this task can be carried out automatically, please let me know.
A separate but related issue–can I specify how many times Actions plays so I wouldn’t have to manually initiate each cycle?
Thanks

I have no After Effects-experience, but could one not rescale placed images in that program with more ease than your current route offers?
Anyway I don’t think you can utilize Image Processor in an Action the way you want to; but you could use a custom Script for saving jpg-copies with progressive numbers.
A separate but related issue –can I specify how many times Actions plays so I wouldn’t have to manually initiate each cycle?
Please give more details; run the same Action on the same file repeatedly or is a Close-command part of the Action and you want the Action to run on several open files?
In both those cases Actions would fall short (apart from duplicating their content the appropriate number of times) in my opinion and Scripts would probably offer a better fit.

  • Image Processor won't run action correctly

    I have CS6 (CC) on a Mac (2013).  I wrote an action for saving my work.  In my normal .psd file, I use multiple layers for editing, etc.  I also use a group folder for my B&W conversion.  I made an action to utilize the saved .psd file to save both the color and the B&W versions.  The B&W action works completely fine.  However, the Image Processor will not properly run the color action.  It tells me that "The object “layer “B&W”” is not currently available."  If I open a .psd file and run it manually, there are no issues.
    What am I doing wrong or what do I need to change to have the IP correctly run the action?
    Thank you!

    Oops...sorry...I guess that would help.

  • Image Processor resolution

    I've done a bit of searching but this is what I'm trying to do:
    I have 9 folders (unit 01, 02, etc.) with CS3 .eps files in them. I want to rasterize these files in PS CS3. I would like to use the tools>photoshop>image processor from Bridge to do so. I was successful at setting it up but the resolution was only 72 dpi. I need a 200 dpi Lambda profile TIFF. I was able to set up an action in PS to flatten and set the Lambda profile, which I could also run from the image processor dialog - but how do I adjust the dpi?
    Thanks

    Not that clear what you mean, but you can either set this in the image processor settings or record it in the action.
    There is however a difference in changing resolution. If only changing the resolution it is just a change of numbers but if you want a resize of the image it is another story.
    You can choose image size and set the resolution to 200 and uncheck the recalculate pixels option, otherwise choose recalculate and choose the image size.

  • 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?

  • How do I fix an access rights error when launching Image Processor in Adobe Bridge CC?

    Often when I am working on files and want to batch process Jpegs for clients I get an error message from Image Processor.  It will state "I am unable to create a file in this folder.  Please check your access rights to this location ...."
    I have cleared cache and up'd my history levels.  I checked to make sure the files were not locked and read/write was enabled.  I am not sure why this error keeps occurring.  I am using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.2.2 release) with Adobe Bridge CC (6.1.0.115)

    It's an endless circle.

  • Image processor from Bridge problem

    ONe of most annoying things with Bridge is that often, image processor wont open from Bridge -- unless you quit out and relaunch Bridge -- quite a hassle.

    You are absolutely correct. In order to pass selected images in bridge over to photoshop, you need to invoke IP from within Bridge. I didn't make that connection from your earlier post.
    So your original request makes sense. Personally, I would rather see an improvement in Image Processor (as well as the Batch dialog) that allowed one to specify the source as "Bridge".
    In photoshop 7, in the batch dialog, you could specify the source of the files to be batched as "Open Files", "folder", or "File Browser". If you choose File Browser, the batch action will be performed on files selected within FB.
    In CS2, in the batch dialog, you can see Bridge as an option, but it's grayed out. You can only invoke the Batch operation on files selected in Bridge from within Bridge - a serious shortcoming.
    The same theme holds true for Image Processor, and indeed, it looks like most of the scripts behave that way.
    So rather than have a shortcut, I would like, as I say, the ability to specify bridge as a source in the dialog boxes for the image processor and batch dialogs.

  • 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).

  • Image Processor not working for me. Help!

    In a nearby thread I've reached a stumbling block. Image Processor in CS4's PS is not working for me. I have a folder of psd's generated on the fly via File > Export > Data Sets as File... and now I'm trying to process those psd's to generate a JPEG of each. The only strange characteristic of the auto-generated PSD files is that there is no image preview available within the Finder. When a psd is selected the preview pane reads:
    "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image"
    I've verified in my Preferences > File Handling that image previews are always saved. (But I've been using PS for a long time and previews are always available with all my manually saved work.)
    So here's what happens when I invoke File > Scripts > Image Processor...
    In section 1 of the menu I select the source folder where the psd files reside
    In section 2, I select 'Save in same location'
    In section 3, I select 'Save as JPEG'
    In section 4, I change nothing. No special actions. Include ICC profile is checked.
    When I select run I get an error message: "Sorry, I could not process the following files:"
    And then it lists what appears to be 3 lines per psd file in the source directory:
    The path to the source dir
    The name of the source dir
    The [source_dir]/[filename.psd]
    What am I doing wrong?

    Check your Photoshop preferences and make sure you have set in the file handling tab "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility:" to Always using the pull down menu. If that is not your current setting try setting that to see if the exported PSD files contain composite previews. When I use save as PSD on my system I alway see Photoshop save through up a popup window stating generating composite preview image.

  • Error message when trying to use image processor in CS2

    Hi
    I am trying to use image processor to condense 500 proofs for my website - however although I have done many times before with no problem, now when I hit the Image processor button before I even get to key in details it is bringing up the sorry something major has happened message and I can't continue - the details of this message are as follows - ref error : this.dlgMain.ddset on Change is not a function :810 - does this mean anything to anyon? Any ideas on how to overcome would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    Go to Russell Brown's website and download his package for CS2. His 1-2-3 Processor is much more flexible than the one provided by Photoshop.

  • Photoshop Image Processor error

    I'm trying to resize some images using Bridge (which I've done several times before) but this time, for some reason, it's giving me an error. This is what I'm doing:<br />1) click on large size JPEG.<br />2) under Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor > Save as JPEG > Run<br />3) a window pops up saying: Sorry, something major happened and I can't continue! Would you like to see more info?<br />4) when I hit "Yes", another window pops open saying: Error: General Photoshop error occurred. - <no additional information available> : 1344<br /><br />What am I doing wrong or different and how can I fix this? HELP!

    Update: I actually spoke with a Nik filter tech about this problem, because after I had her put Nik filters in the right places, the "Window does not have a constructor" error came back, and reinstalling the SL update did not work this time. She said they have seen others with similar issues using SL. If I use a different administrator account, everything works fine.
    So, this appears to be a SN problem. Hope they are working on an update!

  • 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!
    Jeff

    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!

  • How to batch resize in Bridge CS6 or Image Processor using height only?

    I have batches of images that need to resized based on height only and would like to do so using Bridge/Image Processor. My height requirement is 1140px, however the original images are varied in landscape/portrait orientation and are of different aspect ratios (2:3, 3:4, etc). So far what I have had to do is filter in Bridge just the landscape images then select an aspect ratio, then plug into Image Processor the exact pixel dimensions of the resized images (that I discovered using Photoshop to resize and check the resulting pixel dimension). There has to be a more efficient way.
    An example of what I am running into:
    Image 1
    Original file = 5616 h x 3744 w Portrait orientation
    Resized file = 1140 h x 760 w
    Image 2
    Original file = 3744 h x 5616 w Landscape
    Resized file = 1140 h x 1710 w
    Image 3
    Original file = 4652 h x 3489 w Portrait
    Resized file = 1140 h x 855 w
    From that example, is there a way I can plug just the height number in Image Processor (or any other Photoshop utility) so I can just batch out a bunch of images all at once?
    FYI - I am not interested in buying any new software such as Lightroom to accomplish this task. I would like to remain within Photoshop/Bridge if possible.

    You can do what you want with Image Processor without a script.  All you have to do is enter the number of pixels you want for the height (1140 pixels in your case) and then enter a number for the width that is wider than any image you will process.  Image processor will always resize the images to fit inside this rectangle.  That is, the height will always be 1140 and the width will fall where it may.  It works like the Fit Image command in Photoshop.

  • Using Image Processor from Bridge

    I'm trying to use the image processor from within Bridge. I have done this several times in the past, as recently as last week.
    I have some files selected in Bridge. I select "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor" and the dialog box opens. Step 1 indicates that I have files to process (10 in this instance), and I have JPEG selected as the file type to process. When I click "Run", I get an error message that says "Script Alert" in the title. The message in the window says "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop".
    I opened the same 10 files in Photoshop, and I was able to run the Image Processor on them while they were open in Photoshop. I'd rather not do this unless I have to.
    I haven't added any new programs or plug ins since the last time I used the Image Processor from Bridge.
    I had the same problem in early June, and the solution suggested then fixed the problem. I'm experienceing the same problem today, and the same solution doesn't seem to be working now.
    The previous solution was to reset the preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the Bridge icon to start. A reset window with 3 options popped up. Now, w
    I would sincerely appreciate any help you could give me with this.
    Thanks,
    Larryhen I hold the control key down and click on the Bridge icon, I don't get the reset window. I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from within Photoshop, and I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from my desktop with Photoshop closed.

    Read you original post again and your last post and now I am confused.
    You said you reset your Bridge preferences, yet in post #1 you said " I hold the control key down and click on the Bridge icon, I don't get the reset window. I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from within Photoshop, and I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from my desktop with Photoshop closed.
    So with this said you have not reset the preferences unless you have gone in and deleted the file.  The Bridge Icon is the one one the desktop that you click to start Bridge.
    BUT, in last post you say you have a Mac.  So to reset preference believe it is Cmd key.
    No matter how you do it you need to get the reset window with the 3 reset options.

  • Scripts/Image Processor Error Message

    When using Image Processor on Photoshop CS5, what does the following error message mean and how can I fix this issue? ReferenceError: Window does not have a constructor : 327

    Contact Adobe support, you hit a bug. I never seen that one pop up before.
    But in general what it is saying is it is trying to create a window and to do so it needs to reference a constructor.
    That constructor should have been automatically created or a programmer creates one from scratch, that depends on how the code was created. Since that bug normally does not appear, I would say a some code pointed to the wrong location in memory hence the word reference. (In generic terms reference means to point to a location in memory)
    Try it again and see if it repeats itself. I think Adobe will tell you that you need to reinstall photoshop, but its better that they tell you that as I could easily be misinterpreting that error message.

  • Tools Photoshop Image Processor improvement needed

    If I use the Image Processor feature to convert images and I click on "Save in same location", then the images should be saved in (wait for it)...
    The same location!
    Please add an option to create a new directory for the converted files.

    It's part of the Photoshop install and runs within Photoshop! Bridge simply provides a convenient method accessing it and other Photoshop, InDesign, GoLive, Illustrator scripts.
