Photoshop Batch question

Hi,
I am having a problem resizing 100 images. What I do is, record (and resize all the images 7x10) and when I use the batch option half it resizes to the correct dimenstions and the other half comes out smaller. Any idea why this is happening?
Thank you
(using CS6)

Have you tried in Bridge Tools/photoshop/image processor? May be easier than doing an action.

Bridge CS6 Photoshop Batch tool to open Photoshop CC

I have both CS6 and CC installed
I'm having the issue in Bridge CS6 that when I want to do a batch function through Tool > Photoshop > Batch this opens Photoshop CS6 and not Photoshop CC which i'd prefer it open. Is there any way to set this.
The question of me will be why I don't use Bridge CC. Unfortunately I am locked into having to use InDesign CS6 for my work and use a shortcut to reveal images in Bridge (which will only reveal on Bridge CS6), hence why I'm then forced to use Bridge 6 over Bridge CC....
So I suppose if I worked out the indesign issue i twould be ok, but I have a feeling i'll have more luck with a solution for Bridge opening a version of photoshop than solving the indesign issue.
Thanks.

Okay... but I'm using Bridge CC and when I use Tools> Photoshop > Batch it opens the files in Photoshop CS6.
How do I get Bridge CC to open images in Photoshop CC?
(Both versions of Photoshop are loaded on my computer.)

Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014.

in Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014. At first I didn't even see the option but I reinstalled Photoshop CC and now I see the menu option but when I try it there is a message that I need to use Photoshop CC. So I open Photoshop CC and the same thing happens? I can't seem to make it work.

Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
Any points would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

Bridge menu item tools photoshop batch is not present in CS4

I recently installed CS4 on an iMac running OS 10.5.7. I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with 4 GB of ram. The hard drive is 1 Terrabyte.
In CS3 I could invoke my photoshop actions from bridge. No such luck here. I'm finding references to tools>photoshop>batch, but am at a loss as to why I don't see this option in my copy of Bridge.
Online help isn't helping or I'm not using the correct search criteria. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I've attached a screen grab of the menu list.

Photoshop batch processing missing from menu

Hi everyone:
I'm having a terrible time today trying to process the 3500 images I've got. I set up an action to process them, but I can't figure out how to link them to be used through Bridge. I'm running Bridge CS5 with PS CS4, and I'm used to going to Tools->Photoshop->Batch. It's missing entirely from the menu.
I did a bunch of research and found that this issue likely has something to do with the Startup Scripts. So I checked those, and Photoshop is missing from the options. I can't find where that script right reside, as the folder the scripts are supposed to live in appears to be empty (I do have Adobe Bridge CS5 and InDesign CS5 as options, though the script folder itself is empty).
If it's a simple matter of installing the appropriate script, where might I find it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?

If it's a simple matter of installing the appropriate script, where might I
find it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?
By default they are installed in the library at root level ( Mac OS:
//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/)
but I have no experience with - nor would I recommend - the use of CS5
Bridge with PSCS4.
If you don't have installed PSCS5 for whatever reason your fastest way would
be to start Bridge CS4. Let the folder with the files cache first and use
that Bridge version with PSCS4 to perform your batch. BTW, you can save and
export the actions from PSCS4 as a set and import them again in PSCS5.
And of course you could also open the batch in PS itself like we used to do
in the past before Bridge. PS/File/Automate/Batch and choose the folder you
want to apply the batch in.

Photoshop- Batch tool missing in Bridge?

My Photoshop-> Batch is missing from the bridge tools menu? And when I go into Photoshop to automate->Batch I can't choose Bridge as a source. It is there, but it is not in bold(i.e.cannot be selected.)
I have checked my Bridge->Preferences-> Start up script, and all Photoshop options are checked there. I have also tried enabling them agin, and then restarting Bridge, and resetting Bridge Preferences, still nothing. I also tried to delete plist files in my library- I just deleted the bridge one- but I'm not sure what that really does, in any case, it didn't work.
I used to work. Any suggestions??

But my problem is that in Bridge, all I have under the tools menu is cache, the Photoshop->Batch option isn't there anymore.
In that case, something is wrong with your install. Only thing I can offer is to do an uninstall and a fresh install.

Need an expert : How to crop some pictures in a Photoshop batch?

Hi everybody,
Here is my scripting problem.
I have scanned a lot of slides and negatives with a specific scanner.
Before to scan, I haven't limited the image to strict necessary selection.
In consequence, I have thousands of photos which have 1, 2, 3 or sometime 4 borders black or white around the picture that I would like to delete.
I would like to obtain some full images without any border (even if a little part of the picture is lost during the operation).
For me, a manual cropping is too long to realize on each photo.
I would like to script this action with a photoshop batch...but how to do???
I don't want to reduce the picture without to be sure that there is some black or white on the border.
I don't want to sacrifice 10% of the picture if it is not necessary.
Pictures are not exactly on the same position on each image...it is the problem.
Is there a function which can detect these borders to crop the picture to the exact maximum size?
An example is probably better than my poor english...look at example.jpg please (I just would like to obtain the image in the red selection after the script)
Thank you in advance for your help.
I don't know how to do...
Laurent

Hi Paul,
Your link is very interesting.
I have done many test with the function Crop and Straighten (in File/Auto) but...this feature doesn't seems to work?!!
I have tested with 1 and more photos in the zone, with a white or a black background and on a flat image...but the feature doesn't detect any picture?
I don't understand why.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance
Best Regards
Laurent

Can Photoshop Batch Resize Tiff Files?

I have quite a number of tiff files that I want to resize in terms of page dimensions and retain the same resolution / dpi. Can Photoshop batch resize tiff files?

Yes Photoshop ships with a plugin Fit image you can record an action to re-size an image to fit within some number of pixels. Image resolution setting and aspect ratio are not changed however the number on pixels the image will have will be less then or equal to the pixels size set. For example if you set width and height to 2000px the largest size image you could have after the operation would be 1:1 aspect ratio square 4MP 2000x2000. If your image has a landscape aspect ratio the re-sized image will be 2000px wide by less then 2000px high and if Portrait the re-sized is will be 2000px high be less then 2000px wide. Bicubic Interpolation for the re-size.
Once you record the single step action. You can batch the action. You can have batch open the image files and save over the original files or have batch save the resized files in a different location. Fit Image and Batch are both found in menu File>Automate>

Bridge photoshop batch problem

Hi there,
After upgrading to Photoshop CS4 from CS3 (new install), I am having a problem with running Photoshop batch from bridge.
I have actions that work fine when run from Photoshop but fail when run from bridge.
I don't seem to be able to run any Photoshop actions from bridge without a failure.
The error messages include:
"JavaScript code was missing"
"The command 'Pixel Genius PhotoKit Capture Sharpener Expert' is not currently available"
As well as other seemingly random "the command .... is not currently available".
I am running Vista 64 bit.
If anyone has any ideas - I would appreciate them.
Thanks,
Richard.

Hi there again,
An update to this problem.
The problem appears to be with Bridge-Photoshop communication.
I select images in bridge, choose Tools->Photoshop->Batch. Photoshop opens and I select the Action to run and click OK. At this point, if Photoshop had no image already loaded then the Action fails because there is no image, ie. the selected images from Bridge are not opened in Photoshop. The error messages are consistent with having no image loaded to run the various action tasks on.
If Photoshop already had an image loaded, then it proceeds to run the Action, once for the number of images I first selected in Bridge, but on the image that was already loaded - not on the images selected in Bridge.
I have deinstalled and reinstalled Photoshop and all its updates with no change. Any ideas at all would be appreciated.
BTW Image Processor works ok when invoked from Bridge.
Tks,
Richard.

Buglet in Tools/Photoshop/Batch file list

I was just having a look at this and noticed that for me when I use it to run a trivial action in PS from Bridge (just opens selected files and leaves them open) it is opening the selected files PLUS one other file that is not selected. The file it is opening is always the same one and this persists even after opening and closing Bridge - so I would guess it is something happening either at the scriptstore level or within the core of PS / BR itself. It is not a problem with the Bridge selection list since I tested for this with my own batch process scripts and got the expected results.
Andrew

Andrew,
To make things perfectly clear for me, is this the menu item
Tools -> Photoshop -> Batch...
Or is it a script that you've written that uses scriptstore?
The menu item for Batch... doesn't use scriptstore afaik

How can I do a Photoshop batch edit from Lightroom?

In Bridge, I can go to tools > Photoshop > Batch and select a Photoshop Action to apply to some group of photos. Can I do this in Lightroom?

IF you create a droplet you can drag the files directly from the Library Module on to it (Mac)
If part of your process involves making derivative files from Raw then you can specify in the export dialog to run the droplet after processing.

CS3: Tools Photoshop Batch does nothing

I select a bunch of found files and go to Tools > Photoshop > Batch. This used to present the Batch dialogue in Photoshop allowing me to run a batch action on the found files. Now it does nothing. Photoshop is running, computer recently restarted.

>Update: Computer's hard drive recently replaced from a freshly formatted image. Still no joy.
Meaning what exactly? I don't understand this way, what is "replaced from a freshly formatted image"
And could you tell more details about OS and software version's
Have you already tried to refresh preferences for Bridge?

Photoshop Batch Processing

I have a questions about actions, and I need to know if this is possible in CS3 (or any other versions) of Photoshop.
I have a template image that has 3 boxes on it. I have a folder filled with images that will populate these boxes. Is it possible to have an action populate these boxes (via paste or place I would imagine) and then save the template image as a separate filename? I need it to go through the folder and populate three images at a time, with no repeats.
I am only somewhat experienced with photoshop actions, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Shaun

Yes you can create an action to populate a Collage template. It is better done using a Photoshop script. Take a look ate my Photo Collage Toolkit. I would suspect that with some minor changes to you template the Scripts providef will have not problem populating your template. There are scripts to interactivly populate templates to automaticlt populate templates and to batch populate templates.

Bridge CS6 (Windows 7) Photoshop/Batch menu missing.

I've installed CS6 (CS5 is still on the machine), and in the Bridge Menu, there is no longer a Batch menu item for initiating actions.
In Bridge's Edit/Preference command, I have the Startup Scripts checked. There are no files in the "Startup Scripts" folder.
I don't see a "Startup Scripts" folder in CS5, only in CS6.
I can still do batch operations directly from Photoshop CS6's automate window, however, I like the ability in Bridge to select specific files on which to run the action.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
