Need to Run Photoshop Action on every image in Export!

I would really save a ton of time if I could select a specific PS action to run automatically as a last step in the export process, like Image Processor script, only populated with the current set being developed.
The process would go like this: Lightroom develops raws, then communicates with photoshop by opening it, if not already open, and then running the action(s) identified in the export settings, without any user input. For example, process raws to jpgs then run a smart sharpen action on the newly created folder of images.
Thanks! And let me know if anyone has written a script to do this feature yet. -Dave

Figured out how to get rid of the save as prompt. This may cause confusion with others out there, so I'll post it.
1. You have to record a "save as" step in your action (I also recorded the "close" step), dont worry about the name here, just set the JPG setting you want in your action.
2. Then when you create your droplet, the key is to check the override save as box.
The combination of these two steps will get PS to sub your original filename/location recorded in your save as step in the action with the current filename (variable) the loop in the droplet passes.
Doing only one or the other will get you a JPG prompt. Do both together. The logic here confused me. I would rather be able to specify the JPG settings in the Droplet dialog and have that written to the script without recording any save as step in my action. (like Image Processor script)

  • Need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time for each new reader update?

    Hi there,
    This should be a simple question...
    Do I need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time on each new incremental reader update, or just once per major revision (e.g. Reader 9, Reader X)?

    This question hasn't been answered because it would be better asked in the enterprise deployment forum. The Wiz is an ent deployment tool and only is used for initial deployments in most cases. You use it to customize the installer and the product when it's first installed. You could use it for any install, but that is a less common scenario.
    Usually, you customize the first version you install and then just apply updates as they are released.
    HTH.

  • Cron job help- Need to run the Autobuddy command every night...

    I have not written anything in the form of a Unix script for YEARS and YEARS. Our XServe was built in Advanced mode, currently running 10.5.4 Server. On this box, we are running Wiki and iChat. Since we built this box as an Advanced box the "Autobuddy" option was not available.
    I have since enabled it at the command line, but I am told by Apple that there still needs to be a command run after every time a user logs in if you want others to Autobuddy. That command is this:
    "sudo /usr/bin/jabber_autobuddy -m"
    Now I think this would be pretty easy to setup as an automatic cron script, but like I said, I have not written something like this in forever. Not to mention, I am not 100% sure what needs to happen since running the script with an sudo command will prompt for the root password.
    I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me write the script up, and give me some instructions on how to install it. I just want it run everyday, midnight is fine, I don't really care. All I know is that we have a dept of 150 people, and it grows and shrinks all the time. They can deal with a new user not being seen for 24-48 hours, I just want to get this automated.
    Any helps would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks

    If you want to keep it simple try [CronniX|http://www.abstracture.de/projects-en/cronnix] a graphical tool for setting up CRON jobs on OSX. Whilst I have not actually done an autobuuddy in this way, I cannot see any reason why it will not run as a Cron Job.
    The proper way ideally would be to use the launchd service.
    Something like this should work:

  • Need to run delete statments on every 10000 records.

    Friends,
    I require a procedure for commiting 10,000 records after deleting. I am getting error while deleting large size table.
    Please send me the procedure.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Karthik,
    Yeah I am deleting 70% data from the table , The database is not accessable by anyone so we can write the procedure for deleting the rows and commiting the records on every 10,000 rows.
    Please suggest me which option is better for run.
    Thanks
    RockyIn that case just do this
    1. Create a temporary table with the remaining 30% data
    2. Truncate your original table
    3. Insert back the 30% data into your original table. Use APPEND hint in the insert.
    This would be much faster than deleting and commiting after every 10000 rows.

  • Is there a new driver needed to run Photoshop CC after installing Windows 8.1?

  • Running Batch Actions in Bridge causes PS's Preferences window to open repeatedly

    I just upgraded to CC at work, and ever since I've had a problem when I batch run Photoshop Actions from Bridge.
    I have some simple Actions set up in PS to do some conversions for large batches of images (convert to RGB, resize, change DPI, etc.). But when I run them from Bridge like I always have, it causes Photoshop to open the Preferences window to the "Units & Rulers" tab. And that, unfortunately, pauses the batch conversion until I close the Preferences window. This happens at least once per file, but usually twice. Pretty annoying.
    I never had this problem when I was using CS6, but just in case there was some sort of incompatibility with my old Actions, I remade one of them in CC, but the Preferences window still pops up.
    This only happens when I run Batch Actions from Bridge. When I run the Action on a single file from PS, it works fine.
    Any ideas? Maybe I've found a new bug?
    Thanks!

    BTW, I was able to get around this problem by opening all the files I wanted to run the Action on using Bridge, then manually triggering the Batch dialog via Photoshop and using the 'Source: Opened Files' option:
    Using this system, I didn't get any errors. Luckily, I also didn't have a huge number of files. If I did, I'd probably have to copy them all into a temp folder using Bridge, then run using 'Source: Folder'. Definitely a pain when they are all right there in Bridge ready to be batched.

  • Automating using Photoshop Actions & Excel document??

    Hi - I'm new to automator and I wanted to know if it was possible to have automator run photoshop actions and also pull info from an excel document. Here is ideally what I’d like to do:
    I receive hundreds of images (book covers & interiors) that I’d like to resize and rename automatically when they are Dropped into a folder.
    There are 3 different resizes that I’d like to be done. I have the resizing actions in photoshop already. I run the automate>batch command in photoshop, but I’d still like to make it simpler.
    Original files – These are how I receive the files and I clean them up to look like this.
    - COVERS – i.e. 140394877213_ccvr.tif
    - SPREADS – i.e. 140394877213_csp1.tif, 140394877213_csp2.tif, etc.
    Here are the different folders
    Folder 1(sized for catalog use) – action set up in photoshop cs2 that will size covers, another action to size spreads at a different size.
    - covers – bookname.tif
    - spreads – 140394877213_csp1.tif
    Folder 2 (smallest sized cover) – action in photoshop to resize cover
    - covers – 140394877213.tif
    Folder 3(sized for powerpoint presentation) – action in photoshop that will resize covers to a certain size, and a separate action that will size spreads to another size.
    - covers – bookname.tif
    - spreads – bookname_csp1.tif, etc.
    5 photoshop actions in total
    When the original files are dropped into the specified folders (folder 1, folder 2, folder 3), a photoshop action is run that resizes all the files in the folder and also renames the files.
    Can I do this? I have all the books and isbns in an excel document that I’d like automator or applescript to pull the information from the excel doc to rename the files accordingly.
    Also, is there a way to record the names of the files I receive in an excel document?
    Or even better, after the images are placed in the folder, can a script check the excel document (that has the listing of the booknames and isbns) and mark off which files where received and placed in the folder. I hope that was clear.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

    ngb111,
    I know this is possible through AppleScript as I just finished off a script that renames files based on an Excel list.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=871047&tstart=0
    It might be also be possible using Automator through some third-party Automator actions.

  • Turning a Photoshop action into a pixel bender script

    We have a photoshop action that takes images and 'plasticifies' them. Specifically the action performs several filters that we're looking to convert into pixel bender scripts so that the action can be performed in Flash. I'm trying to discover if there are existing examples to perform these actions, and if not if it would be possible to create them. The filters that are being used are:
    surface blur
    diffuse
    layer copy
    high pass filter
    layer overlay
    hue / saturation
    shadow / highlight
    unsharp mask
    I've attached the script to the post for reference and provided an example below. If this isn't something that we could combine several pre-existing filters together, would someone be up for working with me to create this or provide some guidance on how to move forward?
    Original Image
    Plasticify Effect

    The Bilateral Blur in After Effects is implemented in Pixel Bender. It  was tricky to get the best possible performance for it. Pixel Bender  works pretty well for Anistropic filtering as well, we are doing that  now for some new stuff.

    This is sort of true. We do take advantage of the vector types to generate SSE code, but we do it not only within a pixel, but also across multiple pixels so a pixel1 value within your kernel may be computed with pixel1 values from neighboring pixels to improve performance. In general, it is best to write your code naturally and then only look to optimizing at this level if performance is unacceptable and the more obvious problems (minimizing conditional branching, for example) do not solve your problem.

    Kevin, how do you iterate in the Anisotropic Filter?
    One the things I miss is to loop a graph or something like that to iterate over the image.
    Regarding the Bilateral Filter, My first PB kernel was a Gaussian Blur, just to get the feeling.
    At first I didn't use its separability property.
    It was slow, very slow!
    For the Bilateral Filter you have to do even more operations. Unless you implemented its "Separable Bilateral" approximation, Or any other known optimization (Grids, Linear Approximation, etc...).
    What about the GPU case regarding what I wrote?
    Let's set I convert the image into LAB space and perform Gaussian Blur and each time only operate one CurrentPixel.r (The first item in the "Pixel" vector), will that make any performance difference?
    Or even make it completely different. Creating a node which take as input image4 and output of image1 (L Channel). Then Gaussian Blur (2 Nodes) on image1, would that be faster (Again, GPU wise)?
    Thanks.

  • Why am I getting messages such as "The command "Image Size" is not currently available" when trying to run an Action that has always worked in the past and when the particular Commands do work if used by themselves?

    Why am I getting messages such as "The command Image Size is not currently available whenever I try to run an Action that uses the particular command (and which has always worked fine previously) and when the particular command works fine when used on its own?

    I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop.  The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix.  During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents.  Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
    Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates.  Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop.  If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • I need an action/script for image resizing with a "special" attribute

    Having a headache, nothing work so far the way I want it...
    So here's the deal: I have a bunch of psd files and I need them saved as jpegs in a fixed size - 450x590px.
    The filename of the jpeg should be the same as each psd and the images should be resized proportionate.
    The psds have irregular sizes, some are tall, some are square, some are wide, etc.
    I tried using the place function on a template, but that requires my input - choose what to place, then type the filename.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your input!

    So have both Portrait and Landscape images with varying size. and want to create jpeg from them that are 450x590 pixels in size.  Can the have Portrait and Landscape orientations.  If they all must be Portraits 450px wide by 590px high  your landscape images composition will not fair well.  For cropping landscape image to portraits image normally crops away  to much image content.   Content aware scale may work somewhat better then cropping to portrait the introduced distortion may be acceptable.
    If Portrait 450x590px and Landscape 590x450px is an acceptable solution.  I would go with a cropping solution for there will be no distortion and centered crop composition are usually acceptable.   It can also be done with a two step action used by an image processor script.  If you download my crafting action package. It has a plug-in script that can be recorded in an action to set a 45:59 centered aspect ratio selection which you follow with an Image Crop step.  You run the Image Processor  script have the action make the crop and the Image processor to resize the crop to fit into a 590x590px area.

    Jeff:
    I have had both good and bad experiences with Acronis True Image. I got the recent copy of ATI via a Newegg.com bundle. I haven't tried it yet on any Windows 7 editing systems. ATI installs some services that I would rather not have running in the background.
    What made you change from ATI to ShadowProtect Desktop Edition?
    Are you running Windows 7?
    What do you see as advantages to running ShadowProtect Desktop Edition as opposed to Acronis True Image?
    Thanks

  • Script to Save images in alternate folder before running an action

    New to scripting here, and need some help....
    I need to do the following:
    1) copy original images from a specific folder (customerid\Raw_Images) and save them to an alternate folder (customerid\Raw_Images_Original)
    2) Run a particular action in photoshop to enhance the images
    3) Overwrite the image in Raw_Images with the newly enhanced one.
    4) Save a thumbnail 400px wide in a folder (customerid\Thumbnails)
    5) Prompt the user that the customer's images have been enhanced.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I have done similar projects before but cannot seem to successfully combine all of my past experience to get this off the ground.
    Thanks in advance!
    I have this code already below, but how do I now set it up to prompt my user to select a customer folder to run it on?
    // makes backup of image and applies enhancements to orig and thumbs
    // be advised: this  overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
    #target photoshop;
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {}
    var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
    // getting the name and location;
    var docName = thedoc.name;
    if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
    else {var basename = docName};
    // getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
    try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
    catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
    // jpg options;
    var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
    jpegOptions.quality = 9;
    jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
    //save jpg as a copy into Raw Images Orig Folder:
    thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/../'+'/Raw_Images_Original/'+docName)),jpegOptions,true);
    doAction("Sketch","Spring 2014");
    thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/../'+'/Raw_Images/'+docName)),jpegOptions,true);
    //save thumnail:
    thedoc.resizeImage(UnitValue(400, "px"), undefined, 300, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);
    thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/../'+'/Thumbnails/'+docName)),jpegOptions,true);
    //close the Document
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

    You just add your code inside the loop, after the copy line.  You can use ScriptListener to record playing an action and then just put in new names of the actions if there are more than one, like:
    for(var i=0;i<theFiles.length;i++){
    theFiles[i].copy('~/desktop/' + docName); //or whatever path you want
    playMyAction(actionName,actionSet)
    function playMyAction(name,set){  //subsitute name & set for names of action and set used to record action
    //ScriptListener code here to play action....
