Process Multiple Files - Not Renaming RAW to JPG

Im trying to process a few RAW files and convert them to JPG.
The Process raw dialog is set up correct, but it seems after the first image is processed, I am prompted for a location to save the file, and its wanting to be saved as a .psd file and in the same location of the .RAW files...dispite the fact that I have a seperate destination location specified, and despite the fact that I have the settings to convert to >JPG Max Quality.
Any ideas why this may be happening? I am new to elements so im not sure if I am doing something wrong. I modified a RAW file and set my edits as the Camera Raw Default, and I just with to apply these settings to all my RAW files and convert to jpg.

There is a bit of a sequence to follow but this seems to work best.
To convert to jpeg select your raw files in Organizer and click on the Fix tab and choose Full Photo Edit. Wait for Camera Raw to open and click the button Select All (top left) then apply your saved default settings to all the selected images. Keep them all selected and click Open Images (towards bottom right - and select 8 bit as Barbara suggests before clicking that button) to send the selected images into the Editor.
After the Editor opens go to the top menu bar click File >Process Multiple Files.
Set the dropdown for your source to Opened Files then for the destination, check same as source.
At the bottom of the dialog under File Type choose the jpeg quality from the dropdown e.g. Max, High, Medium or Low. Choose your naming convention.
Click OK and leave the program to run (this can take a bit of time as raw files are usually large). When finished close the Editor and return to your folder to see your Jpegs next to your raw files. Or go to your new destination folder if preferred.

Process Multiple Files - Convert PSD to JPG

Having problems converting large (30MB) psd files to jpg (not jpeg2000). I tried using the Process Multiple Files feature and when I tried to convert a large number of psd files (20 or more) PSE3 stops at the first file with a second window, SAVE AS, asking for a different format and gives these choices: Photoshop, JPEG 2000, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop RAW, PNG, TIFF. All not what I want. Yet when I convert the same PSD files to tiff it goes without a hitch, ie no second Save As box and no stopping. What gives?
Suggestions appreciated.

First, I'm using an iMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.7 and PSE3. Actually my question is really about a Batch Flip. I scanned a lot of slides (close to a 1000) at the 'best' quality I could which was 16 bit color (or as Canon calls it, 48 bit) and 2400 bit dpi. But there was a problem in that the slides being 'emulsion side down' during scanning produced a mirror image. These images have to be 'Horizontal Flipped' to get back to a correct image. To do the flip I either had to do it one at a time with PSE3 or try a batch process. Trouble is the programs I tried for the batch process will not work on 16 bit files as I deduced from your reply. So, my thought was to convert them to jpg first then batch flip, hence my question here. Also jpgs would be more manageable for viewing, slide shows, editing and other software while I could store the original *.psd files on DVDs. So now I am left with doing a Batch Flip one at a time then storing the originals on DVDs, and as I have a Windows box connected, copy then over and use something like IrFanview to convert the originals to jpgs for slide shows etc. Another issue: are jpgs the way to go or is there a better format? Tiff?
Suggestions appreciated.

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

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.

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 is not working correctly

When using Process Multiple Files to resize several images, the resulting files are way too small. I am resizing to 12"x8" at 150dpi which used to result in about a 2 meg file. Now the files are about 200k. Something has changes and I can't find it. Help!

Hi,
I don't have access to my ECC 6 system right now, I would check 2 things:
1) it is possible that the BAdI definition class (for classic BAdIs, it is usually CL_EX_BATCH_MASTER) has been changed manually by SAP, and they removed the LOOP, or have added an EXIT right before the ENDLOOP. I know they sometimes do it.
2) I would check if the BATCH_MASTER classic BAdI has been migrated to new BAdI, in that case I think you should migrate your BAdI implementations
3) Just to be sure: if an implementation raises an exception, that's normal that the other implementations are not executed.

Process Multiple Files Adding File Type as Part of Name

I'm using the "process multiple files" command to converts folders of tiff files to jpeg.
I routinely hide extension names of my files.
All my files are being converted with the ".tiff" extension added as part of the name, and I can find no way to prevent the process from adding this suffix.
So, for example, a tiff file I see as "Name" gets converted to jpeg as "Name.tiff"
So, if I then display the extension/file type on the new file, what I see is "Name.tiff.jpg"
Is there any way to prevent the process from adding ".tiff" to the end of each filename? I have a few thousand of these to do, and am not looking forward to manually deleting that suffix off each file.

Batch Rename:
You can rename original/input files or you can copy/move original files to output directory and rename the files in the output directory. For renaming, you can generate a name pattern for new names and the starting index for numbers.
Please be very carefully when you use rename and first test your options with dummy files; batch rename can be very powerful = dangerous! Using bad name pattern, combined with options like Move/Rename original/input files and/or Overwrite existing files, you can, under special circumstances, remove all input/original files! Please do not use these options, until you REALLY know what you are doing.
Hint:
If you want e.g. 3 digits in the new rename name, you must also write 3x "#" in the pattern!
Example:
Pattern image_### with start index 1 will produce file names "image_001", "image_002", etc.
Click on Set rename options to open a dialog for further options for the renaming process.
Check those you want to use, then click OK. To exit without making any selections, click Cancel.
Batch Conversion + Rename:
This option combines the normal Batch Conversion with Batch Rename. You can set the name pattern for the output files
The above is from the help file of Irfanview, a free program, which you can obtain here:
www.irfanview.com
This will rename in a pattern, but I don't know if this is suitable for your purpose.

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.

Process multiple files and stack with originals

I have had an ongoing frustration with PSE. After ranking my photos I use the raw import to post process multiple photos. Almost all of my post processing occurs during the raw import of my NEF originals. When done I save the files as stacked JPGs. Unfortunately I have not found a way to process multiple files and have them stay stacked with the originals. This results in me doing a "Save As" for every single photo in the photo bin. VERY TIME CONSUMING!!
Has anyone determined a way to process multiple files into JPGs and have them stacked with originals? I am sure this is possible and it is really driving me crazy!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ken
P.S. I did search the forums for key words around this issue and wasn't able to turn up any hits. My apologies up front if this has been addressed before.

Check http://photoshopelementsbyadobe.blogspot.com/2010/02/batch-processing-in-adobe-photoshop.h tml if it helps...
But you will have to stack them manually and Auto-suggest stack can also be helpful !
Give it a try and feel free to ask specific questions...

Can't process multiple files on one of three catalogs

After getting straightened out about getting my catalogs in order, which I've done, I've run into another problem. I have three catalogs one for People, one for Things and one I call Workplace where I try out things that are new to me so I don't mess up my main catalogs.
I've straightened out the files in my Things catalog. I have one catagory that contains images of autograph book pages from the late 1800s. Those scans were done in JPEG some time ago. I've tried using multiple processing to change these 55 images to psd in the original file to be consistent with the rest of the catalog. Each time the process fails.
In order to see what the problem might be I have copied the catagory file into both of my other catalogs and have been able to process the catagory file back into itself as psd. I have also created another small file in the Things catalog and tried to convert it and had the same result. The warning info box that appears when copying back into the same file states that the original files will be overwritten. The psd files do not overwrite the jpg files. They are added to the original file. That may be the way it is intended to be. That's not a real problem.
The real question is why can't I process multiple files in the original catalog. I have looked at the error file and, although I don't know much about most of it, I found the following in the first part of the file.
crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
I run XP SP3 and PSE 8. I am a single user with administrator rights. I find no mention of a permission filter in the PSE 8 program.
I'm stuck until I solve this problem and I need help getting it done. Any suggestions or information will be greatly appreciated.

One thing to try : instead of using 'process multiple files', can you use the 'export' feature in the Organizer to export the jpegs of that category in psd format into a new folder ?

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.

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.)

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.

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.

PSE 10 Processing Multiple Files - Error

Yesterday this was working; today it's not. When I try to process multiple files I get this error message:
"Could not complete the Process Mulitple Files command because the disk is not available."
I'm on a Mac - 10.6.8. The disk is not full.
I am trying to convert Open TIF files to JPGS. And like I said, this was working for me yesterday.
Here's what I've tried as far as troubleshooting:
1. Going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10settings
repair permissions and try again.
2. restarting the editor while holding down command+shift+option, keeping the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. I did.
3. restarting the computer
4. shortening the file names
5. moving the destination file
Still no success. Any other suggestions out there that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance for the help.
~Karen

Can you please try shortening the containing folder name as well?
Thanks

Process Multiple Files, PDF failing

I am trying to use the option to process multiple files in PSE 9. I select the source folder, destination folder, and no matter what I select as a converting option I get the error.
"There were no source files that could be opened by photoshop elements"
Despite the fact that PSE successfully opens each of these PDF files in the background, it just doesn't do any processing and displays the error. So now if I go back under the process multiple files menu, and select Process Open files, and click OK, it will now convert each of the files that PSE left open during the previous failed attempt.
In this particular test case I am trying to convert 10 1 Page PDF files to PNG format, but again the destination format selected does not matter as it fails no matter what. This seems like an obvious case of some sort of bug based on the fact that PSE is successfully opening and converting each file, it just won't do it when the folder is selected as the source.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, as we are currently running a trial of 9.0 to verify it can do everything we need it to do around the office. We are currently running PSE 2.0 so needless to say we are looking forward to running software thats just slightly newer if we can get some problems worked out.

Did you ever figure this out?
I have 100 single PDF files that I would like to convert to JPG. There are online tools like zamzar.com to do this but there are limits on number of files, or if combined on the size.
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements PSE 11 and using the batch processing "Process multiple files" option I can select that "from" directory, it thinks awhile, opens them all in Adobe Photoshop with the same error you indicated above: "There were no source files that could be opened by photoshop elements". It does not make sense because as you say, I can then simply "Save As" and convert into jpg format. Opening a PDF file without multi support works just fine, as well. The tool does what I need, just doens't work in the batch mode.
Thanks!
