Problems by batch processing in CS2

Hello,
I have a problem. I had record a new activity "Insert a logo and storage". Then I started a batch processing with 40 photos. But I have a problem. Not all photos are insert a logo, the first 10 photos are with logo, then come 3 without logo, then come 2 with logo and the rest are without logo.
All photos have the same dimension and all are upright.
What is wrong with this batch processing????
Thanks for help!!!!!!!
Greetings from germany

This sounds like a Photoshop, or maybe Illustrator, question. You should ask it directly in the application forum for your platform (presumably Windows) where there are more people likely to be able to help. Please try to provide some more details, like what the steps are in the action.

Problem batch processing in CS2, CS3 and CS4e

I have all the above named programs and have tried unsuccessfully to get the batch process to work. I currently run it in CS with no problems. We want to upgrade to CS5e and actually be able to use it to process our web gifs without constantly going back to the old version.
I have an action set up with the following steps:
Start Record
Open File
Save for Web - Set Width to 150 pixels - Apply - Save (I select a folder called 150)
I repeat process for a 300 pixel image.
Close the file
Stop record.
Go to batch process:
Choose Action
Select Source Folder
Override Action "Open" Command is checked
Choose Destination Folder (150 from above)
I select OK.
This runs fine in PS CS and no matter how many files I have in the source I end of with the same number in both the 150 and 300 folder I have created, named correctly and in the correct 150 or 300 pixel width I need as gif files.
I repeat the same procedure in CS2, CS3 or CS4e and all I get is a folder with one image in it when done. the batch runs and you can see it opening files but it just constantly overwrites the original file.
I have tried to check other boxes such as the Override Action Save As Command and other things I have found on these forums but nothing is working.
I even called Adobe and was on the phone for 99 minutes and let them view my desktop while I ran the procedure in both PS CS and PS CS4e and they were stumped. I was told they would pass it on to supervisors and someone would call me back. I called back after a week since I had not heard from anyone and was told my call was recorded as a mis-dircted call and they had no record.
If someone could please help I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last three evenings combing websites and watching videos to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I have checked all those and am using the same settings from program to program without success. It always work
s in PS CS.

Problem w/ Batch Process

I have been able to convert .pdf files to .tif files by using the Batch Sequence Command "Export All Images As Tiff", but I'm having one issue with the resulting file. When the original file is a 5 page multi sheet .pdf - the batch process creates 5 single page .tiff documents. I would like to get 1 multi sheet .tif from every 1 multi sheet .pdf. I really don't want to have to go that extra step and have to combine the 5 files into 1 multi sheet .tif. I'm dealing with over 100,000 documents, and that would result into too much time spent.
Is it possible to create 1 multi sheet .tif from 1 multi sheet .pdf using the batch process feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro v.9?
Also, while using the above mentioned Command - I'm prompted to hit ok for each file i'm converting. This really takes away the usefullness of a "batch process"
Any help with these two issues would be much appreciated.

Honyk,
I will look into what you suggested. I'm not experienced with that much scripting, but i might have to give it a try.
Thank's for your suggestion,
Kerry

Problem with Batch Processing an Action using a Graphic Style Library

Hi,
I have ~100 files in which I need to change the fill and stroke of all the linework. I created Graphic Styles for all my new features. I then created an Action that sets a fill and stroke color, Select Same Fill and Stroke, then applies the new Graphic Style. This repeats for about 20 variations (ie; select all Fill=X, Stroke=Y, then apply Graphic Style A. Select all Fill=X2, Stroke=Y2 then apply Graphic Style B). It runs fine in my test file. The problem occurs when I try to run it in batch mode. I have my new Graphic Style Library set to Persistent, so that it is open for every file. But the action does not apply the new Graphic Styles. It's like it doesn't see/read the Graphic Style Library. I don't get any errors, the action completes. It just doesn't apply anything.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Are you not able to use an action to apply a graphic style from an added Library? Do I need to add the graphic styles to the Graphic Styles Panel and have the action reference the Panel, not the Library?
Any help or insight is appreciated.
M

Try this:
Copy an item that has the Graphic Style to the clipboard before starting the action. Then put a paste step followed by a delete step at the start of the action.
Hope that helps.

Records aren't updated in batch processing when an error occurs

Hi folks,
We are facing a problem using batch processing with oracle. Our app is implemented without any framework (Struts, Hibernate, Spring, etc), using basic statements and the "auto commit" option is turned off.
When there's no errors into statements, everything goes fine! But, when one of commands doesn't execute succesfully, we can't commit others statements. Although specs say all of the previous statements should be committed when we explicit commit the transaction.
Does anyone have any idea about the source of this problem?
Thanks,
Auler.

Well, last time I checked, this was NOT a database forum, it's a "SQL and PL/SQL" forum, isn't it? Yes, SQL and PL/SQL run on the database, but they also run at the application level as well when you're working with Oracle Forms and Reports, which both have a built in PL/SQL engine.
And yes, I AM using RUN_PRODUCT...*before* I use the win_api_session call. I run the report, and THEN attempt to open the finished report once it has been written to file. But I can't do that if the report is still being generated, right? My RUN_PRODUCT call passes a parameter to tell it to close the Reports Background Engine once the report has been generated. So, what I do is test (using win_api_session) to see if the Reports Background Engine is open or not. WHILE (my loop here...see my last post) it's open, I loop, so that when it is no longer open, I know that my report has been generated, and I can make the call to attempt to open the report from file.
Again, what I need to do, is figure out how I can put some sort of error handling inside my loop to handle situations where there may be some sort of error in generating the report, and the Reports Background Engine doesn't get closed, which would leave me stuck in the loop.

Batch processing problems-can anyone help?

Setup: Quadcore, 4GB RAM, 4 internal drives all with plenty of space, Leopard OS, latest version.
Software: CS4 with Photoshop Extended; all updates installed. I also have CS3 installed; only use Bridge and PS in both apps.
Problem: Working in CS4. All edits/crops/corrections done in the Camera Raw window; all edits saved and viewable in Bridge. However, when I use Batch from the Tools dropdown (Tools > Photoshop > Batch), and check all the usual places, select an Action, select a Destination, and hit "Go", the results are totally weird. Some images process as expected, but many are at least two stops overexposed.
All individual files will Open, and can be Saved As manually; all works fine. That is in fact how my assistant and I got the job done tonight. The Batch Action is simplicity itself: Open, Save As (JPEG level 9), and Close file—but if I run Batch on the same files that can be opened and Saved As perfectly, it all goes crazy; three quarters of the files are totally overexposed, in blocks (10–25, roughly), and at random.
I have used the Ctrl + Alt + Shift after opening Bridge; I have run Cocktail; and lit the right incense. But this still will not work properly! Can anyone help???

Batching the same files in CS3 works perfectly, in terms of the processed JPEGs at least being correctly exposed, but the CS4-only edits (like the healing brush) are not recognised, nor are many, tho' not all, of the crops.
I have decided to deactivate and uninstall, then reinstall CS4, after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually, I wait for a few months for others to report on OS update interactions with CS and FCP, but since CS4 as installed was useless and I had done the usual resets of Preferences without any change to Batch Processing's reliability, I felt I could not be worse off.
So, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I will reinstall CS4 (and all apps this time, rather than just PS and Bridge, as I usually do) in case there are soime weird unintended consequences of a Custom install.
Very frustrating and time-consuming, and I wonder what I might have done to create this problem—seeing as no one commented, I can only assume that this is an unique experience.
I will report back today, hopefully.

Batch process destination problem

I have used Automate/Batch a lot with PS7, and it seems pretty similar in my new CS3. But I am having this problem: The "destination" folder that the images end up in is not the one designated. The pics end up in a folder I used before as a destination. There is no question that I did not get it right, because PS remembers the last automation settings and I can go back and see where I told them to go. It is really weird.
Also, while most of the new pics' designations are changed to "dsc" from "DSC" (I guess that is the "+extension" setting), as they always have been with PS7, my last batch had some that were still designated "DSC". Just a few--They were adjusted properly, just didn't have the small-cap designation that differentiates them from the originals.
The first problem has occurred with both D70 & D300 pics. The second only with D70 so far.
Any help greatly appreciated. -John

Images coming out of modern digital cameras often have embedded metadata describing the orientation of the photo (e.g., when you turn the camera to take a portrait-style photo), but Fireworks does not utilize those data (though many photo viewing programs do. When you use Fireworks to open an original file of a photo that gets rotated after your batch process, does it open in the correct orientation?
I'm going to guess that the photos that get rotated probably the portrait-style photos, because landscape-style is the default layout that Fireworks just assumes unless the photo has been modified.
If this is the case, then you'll need to run a batch process on all of the portrait-style photos /first/ to rotate them, then run all the photos through the resizing/scaling batch process.

LR Enfuse Problem - Batch Processing Doesn't work

Hi,
I'm relativley new to Lightroom - and am trying to learn about Enfusing multiple different exposures.
I've followed all the instructions to the letter, and I'm able to enfuse great looking shots if I do them 1 group at a time. However, I've taken heaps of bracketed shots, and want to 'Batch Process' them.
LR/Enfuse appears to have the functionality, and plenty of people online seem to be able to make it work. But even when I stack each bracketed shot, and select all. It still comes up with the error message below:
"No Stacks
No Stacks containing selected photos were found. If you are trying to blend the selected images then please turn off the batch mode option."
Any ideas? I'm using Lightroom 5.2
Cheers, Thomas

Hi,
I am not sure what operating system you are using, I don't have any problems with Win 7 x64, but if you are using Apple OS there may be issues with permissions on the folders you are using e.g. the folder for temporary files.
You may also want to look at his tutorial http://digital-photography-school.com/save-time-with-batch-exposure-blending but disregard the Auto Stacking explained as it is difficult to get it to work.
I am not sure but it looks as though the stacks in the image you posted are expanded. Make sure the individual stacks are collapsed.
Apart from that I just don't know as it works fine for me.

Batch Processing Video Problem

Hi
I am using CS4
I have a number of small AVI files I would like to batch process. I need to use 'load video frames as layers' and then I have an action set up that lays each layer out to form a grid of small images.
The problem I have is that when I run the batch process and point it at the folder it loads the videos as a single image (first frame visible) rather than as layers.
If I include the instruction to load video as layers in the action its forces me to select a file and when I run the batch process it acts repeatedly on this file only rather than all the files in the folder.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance

Figured it out myself - discovered the animation panel (doh) and used 'flatten video frames to layers' in the action

Batch processing "save for web" color shift problem

In Illustrator CS3, when batch processing "save for web and devices," there is a dramatic color shift in resulting files.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!
Karen.

Make sure the color mode of your documents is RGB (not CMYK) and that your workspace is sRGB.

Batch Processing Problem

I have tried to batch process a number of files on an external firewire hard drive. I am running Mac OSX 10.6.4 on an iMac and using CS3. When I go to set up the batch process I choose the folder on the external drive but when I go to start the batch I get an error message that CS3 cannot complete the batch because the disk is not available.
What on earth is going on? The disk is fine, is recognised by CS3 when specifying the source folder.
Any thoughts

Perhaps better, if you could give me a sample xml config with global and one entity. The only attribute in the entity should be the id... The id should be the primary key in both OPA and Oracle...
The global table in oracle would contain a single column with the global id.
The child table in oracle would contain 2 columns -> one for the global ref id and one for the child key...
I think you will find problems.
As a note we have duct-tape solved this by creating views and making column copies in the views of the child id and then mapping the id in oracle to the duplicate column in the view.
So our child view contains the child table with the child id repeated twice so that we can map...

Batch processing problem: Seeing the primary key (id) in the test cases...

Another problem we seem to be having is how to read the primary key into a base attribute of an entity.
In batch processing, we may define the "id" as the primary key on the table. We need to get that id and the foreign key ids into the base attributes in the rule set...
How do we go about doing that?

Ok, my problem....merging two unique files batch Process

Ok, my problem....I have been deconstructing films, so I have thousands of picture files for batch processing in Photoshop (Resizing etc) What I would like to do is batch merge two or maybe three lots of deconstructed film footage image files from different sources, one as a background film image file and one as the forground film image file layer, thousands of images all at once, after they have been processed first in photoshop, so I have seperate folders with the image files in each folder, they need to be combined in sequence as I want the image/frame numbers to match up in each folder, then combined to non merged layers and saved into another folder, I want non merged layers, so I can use an action later to balance the overlay. I know premiere and After Effects could maybe do this, but I am looking for a different kind of effect.....thanks

This might help, but very probably one of the more experienced Scripters has a Script (possibly with a more comfortable interface or more features) for that, too:

Problems in queueing invoices in batch process

Hello everyone,
Iu2019m having problems in queueing invoices before their extraction to B.I (delta queue).
When an invoice is generated through transaction VF01, queueing occurs without a problem. We also have a Z transaction that generates -in mass- invoices having the order or delivery as input parameter but when this transaction is used, not all invoices are queued. We have this problem for just one Company.
This Company as the others in the Corporation use a Batch process (inside the Z transaction) to trigger VF01 transaction with the difference that when this happens no invoices are queued. (tx. LBWQ) consequently showing misinformation in our daily reports.
We ran the batch process directly in tx. SHDB (to simulate tx VF01) for two companies. Both generate all the invoices but only one queues the records.
Seems that a configuration on this batch process is needed for each different Company but I havenu2019t found an answer yet.
Thank you very much for your help.
