Problem with a Scott Kelby action.  Help!

In Scott Kelby's "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers" he describes a process to automate sharpening in Photoshop, (chapter 5, page 218).  It involves creating an "Action" in Photoshop that can automatically sharpen a folder of photos without any intervention on the user's part that can be automatically run from Lightroom.  I'm running on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.4.11, Lightroom 2.3, Photoshop CS2.
The problem is that the action hangs when saving a photo.  When the action reaches the step to save a photo, a "JPEG Options" box opens up and waits for you to click on the "OK" button.  This hardly makes the action automatic.  I notice that this only happens to photos that have not been opened in Photoshop previously, (which is always in my case).
Here are the Photoshop steps described by Scott (minus any superfluous stuff):
Step 1: Open a photo.
Step 2: Go to the Window menu and choose Actions.  Click on the Create New Action icon at the bottom of the palette.  In the New Action dialog box name your action and click on the Record button.
Step 3: Go under the Filter menu, under Sharpen, and choose Unsharp Mask.  When the Unsharp Mask dialog appears enter 120% for Amount, 1.0 for Radius, and 3 for Threshold, then click on OK.
Step 4: Now go under the Edit menu and choose Fade Unsharp Mask.  This brings up the Fade dialog box.  From the Mode pop-up menu choose Luminosity.
Step 5: Now you can press Command-S (PC:Ctrl-S) to save your photo, then Command-W (PC: Ctrl-W) to close your photo.  Since it's been saved and closed, go back to the Actions palette and click on the square Stop Recording button at the bottom left of the palette.
The rest of the steps involve creating a Droplet to put into Lightroom but is irrelevant to my problem.
Like I said, when I run this action it hangs when saving a photo.  A  "JPEG Options" dialog box opens and waits for you to click on "OK"  Again this only happens on photos that have not been previously opened in Photoshop.
Any hints as to what is happening and how I can fix it?

You already have a rendered file at this point, so this metadata is completely useless. Lightroom for some reason includes all develop settings in every exported file.
Here is some more info

The last one has the metadata-wrangler plugin do basically what I told you to do by hand inside Photoshop.

    Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
    Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

  • Problem with SSAS cube reporting action when using pivot filter with cubevalue function

    Hi everyone,
    I have a quite specific problem when I combine cube actions (Reporting Action SSRS) with Excel's cubevalue() function.
    The problem is when I use a pivot filter as a parameter for the cubevalue() function. The action item does not show up in the context menue.
    The cube action works fine when I do it from a "normal" pivot or if I use the cubevalue() function without the reference to a pivot filter (all the parameters in the function are "hard-coded").
    I use SSAS 2012 and Excel 2010.
    Thanks for yor help.
    Gerhard

    Hi everyone,
    I actually figured out a way to solve this problem. I had to use a detour to solve this bug in Excel (at least I think it's a bug).
    What I needed to do: I had to make Excel belive that the filter is actuall hard-coded and does not come from a pivot filter. This was only possible by adding a new calculated measure to the cube that gives back the MEMBER_Unique_Name to the current member
    passed. This "value" can then be used to go back to the cube and select the cubemember function. Here is a small example.
    This is the cube member:
    CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey] AS
    [Company Branch].[Reg - Comp - Bran Name].CurrentMember.Properties("MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME", TYPED),
    VISIBLE = 0 ;
    And this is then done in a hidden Excel cell:
    =CUBEMEMBER("Metrics";
     IF(RIGHT(CUBEVALUE("Metrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]");5)="[ALL]";"[ALL]";
      RIGHT(CUBEVALUE("Metrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]");LEN(CUBEVALUE("GlobalMetrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]"))-57)
    I had to use the UniqueName property because I have a combined filter. That's also the reason for this truncation and also useing the last part of it. If you just have a straight key you more easily use it.

    Thanks pepole!

    thanks people! when i try to validate the action "PTE" he gaves me (if i put a ALERT...) null.
    the js code is : (Moeda is coin )
    //testa amount
    // var ent = (f.amount.value);
    var tamanho = f.amount.value.length;
    var valor = f.amount.value;
    decimals = 2; // Apenas pode ter duas casas decimais?
    if (((tamanho == 0) || (valor == 0)) && ok)
    alert ("A import�ncia tem de ser maior que zero.");
    f.amount.focus();
    f.amount.select();
    ok = false;
    else
         alert(f.Moeda.value);
    if((f.Moeda.value=="PTE") && ok)
    for (j = 0; j < tamanho; j++)
    xx = valor.charAt(j);     
         if ((!(xx.match(numeroER)) && ok))
    alert ("O Campo Import�ncia deve ser num�rico inteiro.");     
         f.amount.focus();
         f.amount.select();
         ok = false;
              //if para limitar valor dos Escudos      
         if (ok)
         if (eval(valor) > 1000000)
         alert ("The field amount must be maxium 1 000 000 Pte.");     
         f.amount.focus();
         f.amount.select();
         ok = false;
    else
         if (ok)
              //function checkDecimals(f.amount, f.importancia.value) {
              if (isNaN(valor)) {
                   alert("O Campo Import�ncia deve ser num�rico e como separador decimal, o ponto.");
                   f.amount.select();
                   f.amount.focus();
                   ok = false;
              else {
                   timeshundred = parseFloat(valor * Math.pow(10, decimals));

  • Problems with the Proxy Programme--Please help

    Hi All,
    I have written a simple proxy server in the form of a servlet. I changed the proxy config of my browser to connect to this servlet hosted on the default context(http://localhost:8080) of the Tomcat 5.0.25 . Well , this servlet internally connects to the proxy of the corporate LAN . The logic that I have applied is as follows. The servlet gets the request from the client (ie the browser in this case) , extracts the headers and contents from the request, sets them to a new request that it forms and finally send this new request to the proxy. When the proxy responds, the servlet collects the response headers and contents adn writes them in its response. To sum up , this servlet transparently carries the requests and responses between the client(browser) and the corporate LAN proxy. Now the problem is this. Let's say , now I am accessing http://www.google.com.The browser sends a request to my servlet with the following headers as they are extracted by my servlet.
    ProxyServer:::>posting request
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = accept : headerValue=*/*
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = referer : headerValue=http://www.google.com/
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = accept-language : headerValue=en-us
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = proxy-connection : headerValue=Keep-Alive
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = user-agent : headerValue=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; UB1.4_IE6.0_SP1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = host : headerValue=www.google.com
    ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = cookie : headerValue=PREF=ID=1be27c0a74f198ca:TM=1082058853:LM=1082058853:S=bu6ORrygzm8AUkm8
    ProxyServer:::>postRequest
    I set these headers into a new connection opened to the proxy and post a fresh request to the proxy,which, in turn responds with the following headers.
    ProxyServer:::>posted request successfully
    ProxyServer:::>writing response
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Proxy-Connection : headerValue = [close]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Content-Length : headerValue = [257]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Date : headerValue = [Tue, 13 Jul 2004 14:01:40 GMT]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Content-Type : headerValue = [text/html]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Server : headerValue = [NetCache appliance (NetApp/5.5R2)]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Proxy-Authenticate : headerValue = [Basic realm="Charlotte - napxyclt2"]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = null : headerValue = [HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required]
    ProxyServer:::>writeResponse exiting
    ProxyServer:::>wrote response successfully
    I write these headers back to the client. According to what I was thinking, the client ie the browser would open a new dialog box asking for username/password owing to the presence of the "Proxy-Authenticate " header. But it does not happen that way. Rather the browser stops responsding and displays a blank page. Does anyone know why it happens this way? I am pasting the server prog below for everybody's reference.

    Hi serlank ,
    Thanks for your reply. Well , I initially I thought of not pasting the code,as it was too long. But I could not help it,as I thought I must show in code what I exactly meant. That's why I followed a description of my problem with the code. You could probably have copied the code and pasted it in one of your favourite editors to take a look at it. Did you,by any chance, try to read it on the browser? And as regards reposting the same message, I can say that I did it as I felt the subject was not quite appropriate in the first posting and I was not sure as to how I could delete/alter the posting. I am not asking for a code-fix,but some suggestions from some one who might ever have come across such a thing.Anyway, lemme know if you have any idea on it. Thanks...

  • Problem with a Form field, need help

    I work for a small police agency and I am our IT guy.  Most of my IT tasks have many been hardware and system software and networking.  I have been trying to learn and teach myself programming.  I also create forms for agency use.  I have been working on a form and want to add increased functionality to allow our officers to issue a citation with the least amount of time spend on the form.  One main issue is that we have to have a unique citation number.  We have come up with a format that will specify as such:  YYYY(Officer's 4 Digit ID Number)-(Auto Incrementing number).  So, for instance, if this is my 55th citation issued and my ID number is 0100 the citation number would appear like this:  20120100-0055.  The ID number will be entered by the officer earlier in the form.  The problem I can't seem to vision around is how I will keep the number to increase by one and have it maintain that way.  I want it to be form specific, because each officer has their own vehicle and MDT that the PDF will reside on at this time. 
    So far, what I have toyed with in the past 30 minutes is this:
    var Ticker = 0001;
    var Year = getFullYear();
    var x = getField('OfcIDNo').value;
    Eventually the form will be autocreated by a program that will be run from a centralized server.  I have even thought about running the from from a server and taking all the data and INSERTing it into a SQL Server 2008 Express DB table on a server, but I'd still have to have the citation number created at the form as the officer fills in the data.  The last four of the number doesn't have to reset when the year changes, but it would be a plus.  Any information anyone can help with I would appreciate it. 
    Thanks in advance

    Seems like it was too easy, is it safe to assume that javascript and javascript functioning in Adobe PDF is a bit different learning curve?  That does help, the only thing that I'm missing is the Auto Incrementing 4 digit number.  I was toying with assigning a variable in the globals that would auto increment but having problems with how I would execute it.  Each copy of the form would be installed on each officers MDT so the number would be specific to that officer. The format will be YYYY"OFCIDNo"-####.  I would like to assign the number to the global variable on the execution of the Print Dialog.  This way the officer an clear the form if he/she needs to start over and then it stays whether or not they close the file and reopen it. 
    That syntax has been very helpful to get started. 
    Thank you,
    David

  • Problem with adobe acrobat/reader - please help!

    Hello,
    My acrobat reader was fine and I was able to open the pdf files sent to me, then suddenly it just wouldn't open anything at all.  It went into open mode and just stayed there, and wouldn't let me close it.  Then I got a message saying "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader.  Please exit and try again".  I've done this lots of times and it still isn't working.
    I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions.  I have windows 7, and as I said its all been fine up until now.
    Thanks.
    mspryce.

    This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. You should check the reader forum. In the meantime, if you are not running AR9.3 or so, you should update. Prior versions before 9 are not designed for Win7 and that might be your issue -- you gave no indication of version.

  • Itunes won't run because of some problem with my audio configuration? help!

    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Itunes wont update to 10.5 due to problem with windows installer package, any help?

  • A Few Questions/Problems With My New iPod *PLEASE HELP*

    Hello! I just received my first iPod (4th Gen, 4GB, Red Nano) two days ago (Christmas Eve) and have so far been fairly happy with it. However, I'm experiencing a few problems with it and am hoping that someone could help me.
    Firstly, a few of the album covers on my iPod are just black squares. I've read other complaints about this on the forums, but haven't seen any solutions. What can I do to fix this?
    Second, I can't figure out how to put my songs in order. On iTunes, it allows me to put songs in alphabetical order, but being that most of my songs are part of full albums, I want my songs to be in the order of when they play on the actual albums. When I try to drag my songs into their correct places, I'm not able to.
    Also, is there any way to delete the games that my iPod came with? I think they might be taking up too much room for my liking...
    OK, well if you can help or add some extra tips to getting started with my iPod, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Bump...
