Photoshop Elements 9 - Batch Rename

Hi Forum.
Would greatly appreciate any help with this one. I am trying to batch Rename 2300 files to have a common base name followed by a sequential number. After expanding all stacks and selecting all images for edit. I then choose batch rename and enter 'Base'. Unfortunately, Elements only renames a proportion of the selected images. And further attempts to correct by applying a different base name again does not address all images so I end up with a mix of base named files. Bug maybe?
Any thoughts welcome.
regards
David

Hi david
It’s better to use Full Edit
File >>Process Multiple Files >>Rename Files

Photoshop elements 5 batch process freeze program

Starting a batch process in adobe photoshop elements 5 (auto colour, reducing picture size, saving the changed picture in the same directory but with additional extension to the filename) the program starts to open the first picture and then it is freezing. So far as I can see all other functions a working properly.
Can some one help me.
Reiner

try with just 1 image and see. Also make settings one by one i.e. in the incremental fashion. Also please explain if there is any specific meaning of "but with additional extension to the filename..".

Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer 12 opens minimized in taskbar

I have a user who uses Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. It has been working fine up until a few weeks ago. Now when goes to open the Organizer, it opens up minimized down in the taskbar. When you hover over it, you can see the thumbnails of the pictures. When you click on the icon on the taskbar, nothing happens. I went to his computer and logged on as myself and was able to open the Organizer with his photos just fine. I looked in the log file, but there wasn't anything in there. I checked Windows Event Viewer, Application logs, no errors for Adobe Photoshop Elements. I renamed the psa.prf file to psa.old, so it could re-create that file. That didn't fix it. His computer is running Windows 8.1 64-bit. No changes were made to his computer between the time Organizer opened just fine and not when it stopped. Any ideas?

Hi,
On my Windows 8.1 system, if I right click on the icon in the task-bar, there isn't a Maximize option. If I hover over the icon and then right click on the thumbnail, I do get the Maximize option.
The other thing to try is to change the auto hide property of the task-bar - that may reveal the organizer.

Batch Editing with Photoshop Elements 4.0

I have an folder of photos which I would like to resize as a batch with Photoshop Elements 4.0. However, I am at a loss as to how to do it and am missing a step or two in my workflow.
I would appreciate any specific step by step suggestion that you may have.
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

not for "batch editing"
You can set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences. iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either.

Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I want to know how to create a new script that can be run in batch proces in Photoshop Element 11 ?

I want to know how to create a new script that can be run in batch proces in Photoshop Element 11 ?

Have a look at the menu file/process multiple files. You can choose to add your signature (or the caption) to the image and export the new files.
If that solution is not flexible enough, consider using the very affordable (12$) Elements+ add-on which offers a 'meta stamp' script :

Otherwise, have a look at other free and good solutions like Faststone Photoresizer, Xnview...

How to "save for web" via batch processing in Photoshop elements

I have a bunch of logos that need to be resized and 'save for web." How can I process these files as a batch in Photoshop elements. Many thanks!

You can batch save them as jpgs, gifs, or PNGs using Process Multiple Files, and even batch resize them as long as they are all in the same orientation and the same aspect ratio (shape), but the resulting files will be somewhat larger than you'd get with Save for Web because Save for Web removes the photos' exif data, which PMF won't. Since these are logos, there shouldn't be much difference.

Batch processing photographs in Photoshop Elements 11

Hi everyone,
I've been scanning in a lot of old photographs of late. Many (probably all) of them would benefit from application of the "dust & scratches" filter, but it doesn't appear as an option in the "process multiple files" pull-down. I've heard about "autohotkey" being used as an alternative mechanism for doing batch processing, but can't find an example online that works with Photoshop Elements 11. Would anyone care to share any tips on how I could automatically process my scanned photographs in ways that "process multiple files" doesn't offer?
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can offer.
Best regards,
Andrew.

One way which i've been doing this is to use the Image Processor script from photoshop in pse 11.
(only works in pse 11 or possibly future versions of photoshop elements)
You can download the PSE 11 Image Processor.zip, extract the file (right click on the zip and press Extract All)
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=ZOP9CgDC38plXHju4uVLkQ
and then copy the Image Processor.jsx to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Presets\Scripts (64 bit version of windows 8)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Presets\Scripts (32 bit version of windows 8)
Start or restart pse11 and in the Expert mode it should be listed under File>Automation Tools>Image Processor
(an image doesn't have to be open to run the script)
Then we just need to know if you want the Dust and Scratches to use the same settings all the time or you want to be able to adjust the filter between photos.
(so we could send you the action to use with the image processor)
The image processor is similar to process mutiple fles except you can choose to run action that you have loaded in Window>Actions on the processed photos.

Photoshop Elements 6 - GROUP (or Batch) Editing

Hello to all... I'm using one of the older Adobe software packages...Photoshop Elements 6. Does anyone know if it's possible to do BATCH or GROUP editing? For example...you bring up 12 images for correction. You apply changes to the 1st image and then wish to apply the same exact changes to the remaining 11 images. I could not find anything in their HELP files and their ONLINE support is only for Elements 10! THANKS!!! Andy in 'Historic' Gettysburg, PA, USA

It’s not possible in any version of elements, except for raw files where you can open a batch and synchronize the settings.
Adobe Lightroom 4 is the next best alternative. You can save presets and apply them on import as well as selecting and synchronizing batches.

Photoshop Elements 7 Command Line Batch Processing?

I program in C# or VB .NET using Visual Studio 2008.
Q. Can I program or write Photoshop command line batch processing scripts?
I need to take several hundred photos and convert them as follows:
1. Import .jpg
2. Resize image
3. Convert to layer
4. Drop-shadow & resize canvas
5. Rotate-arbitraty (variable 3 deg cw - 3 deg ccw)
6. Save for use in web as .gif (transparent background)

You might be better asking in the SDK forum or Elements forum.
But if it was me I would use JavaScript where all you have listed is possible.

Does photoshop elements enable save for web for a batch of photos?

does photoshop elements enable save for web or ready for web for a batch of photos ?

Hi Patonabike,
You can batch save images as jpeg, png, tiff etc. using Process Multiple Files. This feature will even allow you to batch resize them (as long as they are the same orientation and aspect ratio). However, the resulting images may be larger than what you would get if you individually did 'Save for Web' because 'Save for Web' removes the photo's exif data (and Process Multiple Files won't).
With that said, it depends how you are editing your images and the results you are looking for, if you just want to rescale them or batch edit them - this is one way.
Hope it helps!

Rename/Batch Rename files

I use PSE 5.
I name all my images before I import them into Organizer. Here is an example: 2007-11-01 071500 Bolsa Chica pelican -- meaning this picture of a pelican was taken November 1, 2007 at 7:15AM. I may have a dozen or more images of pelicans from that day, but taken at different times obviously. If I would like to rename/batch rename these files to indicate brown pelicans instead of just pelicans, can I do it within the program and still retain the date and the different times for images?
I can't find a way to do it. And I've searched this site as well as The Missing Manual. I've been using PSE since Ver. 3, but have always used another program to batch rename files. I'm guessing Adobe expects users to rely on tags, otherwise they would have a more "sophisticated" batch rename capability.
But am I missing something about batch renaming? Sorry for the very long post . . .
Wendell

I have several bones to pick with PSE5's file rename ability (in Organizer, go to File, Rename), primarily the 30-character limit on new names.
I use long file names like
2007-11-11 Al and Nadia wedding NYC roses-1.jpg
2007-11-11 Al and Nadia wedding NYC roses-2.jpg
2007-11-11 Al and Nadia wedding NYC Peter and Julie.jpg
The spaces make for easier legibility to humans.
If I were to include these files in a web address, I'd use hyphens.
For this past Thanksgiving I toiled over the metadata in a group photo that might become important for family history, adding title, caption, keywords, date. I found that the "Save for Web" dialog strips some or all of the metadata, and other programs might or might not read or preserve the metadata.
A number of people who receive my photos cannot readily use the metadata:
--Naive users (gram and gramps)
--Busy and distracted users (the niece who is a mother of 3; the day-trader who's thinking about his puts and calls)
--People with poor support (a friend who has some sort of Photoshop Starter edition at work that does not recognize keywords; and she can't justify even Photoshop Elements)
Even among all these folks, almost no one is using an operating system that requires short names.
So, I put an abundance of information into my file names. Photoshop Elements allows that ON IMPORT, but not after the fact IN THE ORGANIZER.
I just hope that this inconsistency is fixed in PSE6. I get tired of explaining this over and over again to folks.
-- Bob
P.S. I love Photoshop Elements, but I'm looking into moving my picture store to my MacBook Pro, and using Bridge (already installed) and GraphicConvert to manage my photos.

Problem with collection names getting replaced when creating new collections in Photoshop Elements 5.0

We have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 a lot lately to organize many photos into collections. A new problem just arose when creating a new collection.
As we named the new collection and clicked on "OK" it replaced another existing collection with the new name. The photos from the old collection were still there but now under the new collection name. This happened at least three or four times, each time a different "old" collection was renamed. Does anyone know why this would happen?
This past week we have added at least 20 new collections with no problem prior to this. Adobe actually had to shut down when this happened. Each time we reopened Adobe it would happen again randomly renaming a different "old" collection when we tried to add the new one. Any insights would be much appreciated.

Thank you - that was the problem and now it is working correctly
again!
Tom Z.
