Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

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.

CS5 Crashes using Image Processor from Bridge

Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 crashes when using the image processor from Bridge after 200 images or so. Converting 1000 RAW files to PSD or PSD to JPEG takes multiple reloads. any ideas?

I've encountered a non-repeatable variation of this problem from time to time: crash occurs at startup of image processor when Photoshop is open and has been running for some time. (I've not seen the error where Bridge > Image Processor causes launch of Photoshop.) Once I've started a run it has not failed to complete all images (but I'm not converting RAW files and not as many files as 1000). ScriptingSupport.8li is listed in event log problem signature.

Colour washed out when using image processor in Bridge CS6

Hi there
I hope somebody can help please?!
I am editing raw files in Camera Raw 8.2, then using image processor through Bridge CS6 to save them as both jpegs and tiffs.
I am finding the colour on the saved files is coming out a little washed out and faded.
If I open them individually and save them in PS6 as jpeg and tiffs, the colour remains vibrant and true to the original raw file.
I have thousands of these files to go through and don't have time to open each one individually in this way so I am desperate to automate this process while still retaining the great colour in the original shots.
Can anyone tell me why the shots are coming out this way and help offer a solution for me please?
Any advice would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks

Hi,
Do you have Include ICC Profile checked at the bottom of the Image Processor dialog?

Color washed out when using image processor in Bridge CC

Hi,
When I use the image processor - Tool>PhotoShopS>Image Processor, via bridge my colors appear wrong and washed out.
When i choose "Include ICC profile" in the process dialog it has no effect - the colors are still wrong.
In PhotoShop my profile is set to ProPhoto RGS, can that be the reason?
When I save as JPG from Photoshop the colors are correct.
any suggestions?

Installed photoshop cc (2014) and lost image processor from Bridge

How do I get back Image Processor from the Tools drop down menu in Bridge? I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bridge and Photoshop and have no positive results.

I know some modules went kablooey when I uninstalled Photoshop CC 14.x but I fixed it by uninstalling everything and reinstalling.
Maybe try the CC Cleaner Tool?

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.

Image Processor from Bridge CS5

Lately, I have been getting this error message when trying to access the Image Processor (PS CS5)from Bridge CS5: "Sorry something major happened and I can't continue". I called Adobe support and was told that it might be related to third party plugins. The puzzling part is that I have been using all of the above with no problems for over a year . . I am using a Mac Pro, OS 10.6.4, with 10 G of RAM, and have the latest updates to PS and Bridge. Any suggestions?

One way around the problem would be to use a different processor..
There is the New Image Processor Pro and Dr Browns 1-2-3 processor @

Problems using Animation Presets from Bridge

Dear all,
Using the CC range, and recently had a new problem using the animation presets from Adobe Bridge. I'm in After Effects as normal, and then go to the Animations drop down, click browse recent presets to open up Bridge, and then as normal use Bridge to select the preset I want. Double click it whilst highlighting my selected track in AE, and then AE reports this:
And the same error codes no matter what effect/animation I choose, whether its to an image, video or text.
If I just go, in AE, to my Recent Animation Presets, and choose one from there it loads up absolutely fine. But this is massively annoying. Any ideas? This problem appeared out of nowhere.

This is fixed in the After Effects 2014.2 (13.2) update, which is now available.

Problems with Image Processor in Bridge CS5

I just installed Photoshop and Bridge CS5, and I'm having a couple of problems. First, I can't update to Bridge 4.02. I've downloaded the installer and tried to run it, but I get an error message. All it says is that it can't run the update. The same thing with the Camera Raw updater. The most immediate problem I'm having is that Image Processor in CS5 seems to run differently from how it runs in CS4. Specifically, if I select a bunch of files in Bridge, and ask Image Processor to run an action on them and save to the same location, which is what I've been doing ever since CS2, it opens the files in Photoshop, and leaves them open. This means that pretty soon I've got far too many fiiles open, and my Mac can't cope with it (an iMac Core Duo 2.16Ghz with 4 GB of ram). It also gives me an error message at the end saying it can't process the relevant files, even though it has processed them! In previous versions of Image Processor, it would open the files to run the action, convert to sRGB, etc. and then close each one after saving it to a new folder named "JPEG". How can I get the latest version to behave like this?

Nevermind... I restarted Flash and it miragically appeared! Yay CS5!

Problems Using Image Processor to Resize Images

Hello,
I'm perplexed on this one.
In the past, I've used scripts in Photoshop to downsize my large Camera RAW images to an appropriate 1920 x 1080 size for subsequent export to Premiere Pro.
Worked like a charm numerous times.
Now, when I try to do the exact same thing and check the destination folder AFTER running the Image Processor routine but BEFORE bringing them into Premiere Pro, they are all 1620 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080.
This doesn't work.
I keep checking around for a little typo in the various stages but cannot find one. Any thoughts?
I recently had to reinstall Photoshop and changed one of the settings in Preferences to 32 bit instead of 16 bit. I don't think that has anything to do with this, but I wanted to mention it just in case.
Here is a screen shot:
Thanks!

(PS: I know that's a screen shot from a Mac, but I believe this issue is platform independent)

Thanks so much for your help gentlemen!
Sorry for the delay in responding. The deadline for submitting my film is fast approaching and I've had so many different things to do, all of them important.
Surely these are useful pointers you are giving me. Cropping has been unsuccessful, as has been using the Image Processor. Russell Brown was scratching his head about the failure of the Image Processor to work on this and has told me he will work on it after Photoshop World finishes.
Incidentally, thanks for the video of his on Content Aware Scaling!
I was unaware of the Alpha Channel aspect which REALLY makes it an amazing feature. Alpha Channels are slightly beyond my skill level, but not terrifying. For some reason paths and alpha channels have been a little harder for me to learn in Photoshop; I've picked up many other things rather quickly.
JM, I've tried floating a layer by duplicating it. I called that layer "THIS IS BETTER" (below). Then I tried to adjust the image canvas size as shown by the screen shot below. Is this what you were describing? I tried to change that canvas size to 1020 x 1080.
I then got a warning message about my image being clipped:
And that apparently resulted in this "clipped" image below:
Any thoughts on that particular avenue of inquiry?
Thanks for your help.

Using image processor from RAW format to JPEG, the images are suddenly very muted colour, greyish tone, and just awful looking.

Any ideas as to why, when I am converting a group of images through image processor into JPEG, the resulting images are AWFUL. I have been using this process for years without a concern, and suddenly the JPEG files are very greyish, muted tones and just terrible looking… HELP! I'm WAY too busy right now to be dealing with this and having to manually save each image to JPEG

Which Color Space are the images in?
What are your Color Settings?

Does anyone recognize the issue that an attempt to use the Photoshop Image Processor from Bridge/Tools opens Photoshop CC 2014 but then redirects to Photoshop CC stating that CC 2014 doesn't support this.

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.

Problem with Image Processor

I usually use Image Processor to apply an action on tons of files on CS2. When I upgraded to CS3, I simply copied the actions over to the new action folder. Problem is, with long actions, CS3 doesn't close each file after it has performed the action unlike CS2, leaving the desktop filled with processed photos. Also a dialog box appear at the end with the message "Sorry, I could not process the following files:(list of files)". still, the processed files are saved in the destination folder. But here's the funny thing, when I run short actions, everything is ok.
what could be wrong? I tried changing a few things in Image Processor dialog box but always get the same result. again, with shorter actions at the exact settings, the results are fine.

I'm beginning to think CS3 just isn't capable of handling long actions. Just to give you an idea what I'm doing is watermarking my photos with 3 items: a text logo, url and name. each of them consists of the same steps with the difference only being on their shape, size and position. so you can imagine 3 separate actions combine into 1. to test out my hypothesis, I deactivated 2 of them and tested for each one without any problem. next, I combined any 2 and failed. so my conclusion is CS3 just can't handle long actions as well as CS2.
