Process multiple files elements 11

When I try to process multiple files on elements 11 the option is greyed out can anyone tell me why that might be happening?

Generally that means that you are in guided of basic mode. Switch to 'Expert' mode and that should do it.

PhotoShop Elements 10...I need help with font size for watermark in Processing Multiple Files.....

I have PhotoShop Elements 10, and I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have successfully added them one at a time with a font large enough to be seen. Now I am trying to add it using the "process multiple files" , I can do that but the font even at 72 the largest setting is so small on the photo you can barely read it! Can anyone help me the size larger on my photos?

Thank you, Michael. I just watched the Russell Brown video again for CS6 and looked real closely at his settings in ACR and he was using 240ppi. I changed my file in image size to 240 ppi and then ran the script and the layer didn't change size this time when I ran the script.
It is kind of annoying to have to change the image size everytime I want to run this script and then change it back again as most of my files are 300 ppi. I used to run his script for edit in ARC in CS5 and recall that if I just remembered to change the settings in ARC to 300 ppi while the script was playing and before pressing 'open' that the image wouldn't change size during the raw processing, but this doesn't seem to be working in CS6. Do you know of a way to use this script and not have to change the ppi for the image to 240?
Thanks again.

Sub folders and Process multiple files in Photoshop Elements 10

I am looking to apply the same adjustments to numerous images in numerous sub-folders and overwrite the original images.
Using the Process Multiple Files options, I added the main folder (which contains no images) to the Source field, selected the Include All Subfolders tick-box, also selected the Same as Source tick-box (which warns you original files will be overwritten) and then completed the image adjustments I required. However, after running the process all the adjusted images were saved in the main folder and did not overwrite the originals contained in each sub-folder. Does anyone know if there is a setting I am missing to replace the images in the sub-folders or is this by design ?

hi, so is it possible to keep the same subfolder structure as output location? regards! bostjan
No...
I think you are going to run great risks in trying to use batch process like 'process multiple files' or 'export' while relying on subfolder structures.
- the organizer is much more powerful with its database and keywords management than a folder structure organization,
- Batch processes are limited in Elements
- 'Good practice' calls for keeping originals intact.
What are you wanting to do exactly ? We might be able to suggest alternative workflows.

Problem Processing Multiple Files in Photoshop Elements

I have always used the process multiple files option in the File drop down menu without issue. I recently completed editing some photos as I have done before and wanted to process them into a smaller JPEG file and add my watermark. I set all the settings in the process multiple files program and clicked OK. The first image came up and appeared to process but then a "save as" dialogue box came up. The box was asking to save the file as a photoshop file and not a JPEG. I cant seem to find out why it is doing this. I have restarted the program and my computer running it and I have tried running the same process on other files with the same result.

Which Elements version ?
Was it a raw format file ?
If so, is your bit mode menu in the middle of the bottom bar of the ACR dialog set to 16 bits ? Try setting it to 8 bits and save a raw file in 8 bits before trying the process multiple files again to see if that makes a difference.

Photoshop Elements 7,Process Multiple Files , size of destination file wrong

In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, I am using the Process Multiple Files tool to change the names (First Box contains: “Rob” + Second Box “1 Digit Serial Number”) of files an add a watermark. The Name & water mark are created correctly.
The Resize Images Box & File Type Box are not checked.
No matter what I have tried so far the destination size if the files is about 1/10 the size of the source, for example 5,728 To 506 .
What am I going wrong?

Thank You

Elements 11, PC Windows 8. Problem: Process Multiple Files is grayed out. How can I activate it?

I have to reduce the resolution for files in a folder. I have done this in the past but have a problem with the reinstall of Elements 11 on a PC that lost it's mind and had to reinstall all software. The Process Multiple Files under the File heading is grayed out and will not allow me to point to the files to be reduced. Sure would like some help on this. THX.

You have to be in Expert Mode (see this picture) to enable the "Process Multiple Files ..." from the file menu. You are in the Editor windows, right?

Process Multiple Files in Photoshop Elements 4.0.

Please Help,
I have a lot to learn about digital photos and when I retire I will have time. However, I have 4000+ digital photos at 900.0 plus KB (approximate 42.66x32 72ppi) each. Now I discover they take up lots of room (my backup is huge) and need to be resized to properly email. I figure I will resize them all at the same time. I found process multiple files via the file drop down menu > Process Multiple Files by selecting one photo and opening Standard Edit. I then selected Folder in the process files from drop down menu, found my, large, digital photo folder via the browse button, checked include all subfolders, destination same as source, and quit at image size.
Am I on the right track? What is a reasonable image size? PSE uses width, hight, and resolution which is confusing when everyone else talks about file size. I found the PSE help information difficult to understand. I want to do this right the first time and would appreciate your suggestions.
I will change the settings on my Pentax Optio W30 Camera; after I get some help regarding the size issue, so my future photos will be easier to manage.
Thanks

Your images are already smaller than expected. The Pentax Optio W30 is a 7 mega pixel camera, which will produce images of about 3+ MB, when set to highest quality.
It is recommended to shoot at the highest possible quality, keep those images as "originals" and make copies for other purposes, such as email attachments.
If you are planning to resize and overwrite your originals, you will cause serious quality deterioration.
My suggestion is that you 1) set your camera to the highest quality and 2) get an exterior hard drive for storage.

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder

Yes that was the first thing I did. Then I used the process multiple files and selected a new folder to put them in and selected use open files and selected to turn them into jpeg. The images flash on the screen like they are being processed, but the folder never appears in library. Is it possible because there are a couple 16 bit files open that this corrupts the task. Do I need to create the folder first. Will elements not create the folder on its own.
Thanks Vince

Process Multiple Files in Bridge

I am trying to process multiple files in Bridge CS3 using Photoshop Elements 9. It does not give me an error, it just does nothing. Can someone help me figure out how to fix this? It used to do this now I am having problems.

Can someone help me figure out how to fix this? It used to do this now I am having problems.
Without knowing your workflow or your OS to my knowledge Bridge CS3 is not designed for Photoshop Elements 9 but for Photoshop CS3. There used to be a Bridge CS4 version bundled with PSElements 8 for a Mac but thats all I know about it.
However if you want to open files from Bridge in PS Elements you should either select the files you want and with right mouse click menu choose open with and from the submenu choose PSElements 9 or go to the Bridge preferences file type associations and change the file type you need in PSE to open in PSE9 by default.
If this is not the answer you expected could you be more specific about OS (windows/Mac) and what you mean with process (raw settings, batch actions or just open in, etc.)

Jpgs are greyed out in process multiple files.

I have a new iMac, with Elements 11, all jpgs are greyed out when I try to process multiple files.
Dawk

Are these photos in iphoto? You can't access the iphoto library directly. Writing into that library from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose the photos. Export the photos from iphoto and work on the exports. If that's not it, where are these jpegs located?

Process Multiple Files in PSE 7

I'm running PSE7.
I'd like to take a group of images (jpeg's) and do the following to them:
Run QuickFix on them.
Save them as a new file with the name based on the original name plus some extra information.
Resize the jpeg's to a size suitable for the web. Or possibly a little larger.
It would really be great if:
I could use a 'tag' to select the images I want to process.
The tags on the new images are the same as the originals.
The new files are written into the same folder as the original. Even if multiple folders are needed due to
the tags bringing in images from multiple folders.
The new images would become part of a version set or stack along with the originals.
Well, that's what's I'm interested in doing.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciatted!

The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug‑in module that supports actions.)
When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
Note: The Process Multiple Files command does not work on multiple page files.
Choose File > Process Multiple Files.
Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop‑up menu:
Folder
Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Browse to locate and select the folder.
Import
Processes images from a digital camera or scanner.
Opened Files
Processes all open files.
Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder.
For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files:
For Rename Files, select elements from the pop‑up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. The fields let you change the order and formatting of the components of the filename. You must include at least one field that is unique for every file (for example, filename, serial number, or serial letter) to prevent files from overwriting each other. Starting Serial Number specifies the starting number for any serial number fields. If you select Serial Letter from the pop-up menu, serial letter fields always start with the letter “A” for the first file.
For Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX® to make filenames compatible with the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems.
Under Image Size, select Resize Images if you want each processed file resized to a uniform size. Then type in a width and height for the photos, and choose an option from the Resolution menu. Select Constrain Proportions to keep the width and height proportional.
To apply an automatic adjustment to the images, select an option from the Quick Fix panel.
To attach a label to the images, choose an option from the Labels menu, then customize the text, text position, font, size, opacity, and color. (To change the text color, click the color swatch and choose a new color from the Color Picker.)
Select Log Errors That Result From Processing Files to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, open with a text editor after the Batch command has run.
Click OK to process and save the files.

Processing multiple Files, no longer lets me convert to jpeg.

I have Elements 6 for Mac. I have a folder full of raw images (which I downloaded an update on Camera Raw for my mac a couple of weeks ago, just remembered this) anyways, ...I made an empty folder and title it jpeg. Then I go to Elements and click on Process multiple files. I choose the from folder, I choose the new jpeg folder for the 'to', and rename the files, and then click on 'convert files to jpeg high', and then it starts processing, and stops on the first file and it asks me how it wants me to save it, because jpeg is not longer an option, only jpeg2000. (which I do not want). How do I get my jpeg's back?

You probably have the camera raw dialog set to output 16 bits/channel.
Open a camera raw file and at the bottom of the camera raw dialog where it says Bit Depth choose 8 bits/channel and click done.
Then try the using process multiple files.
