Trouble with batching filters sequentially

I have an animated sequence of about 300 images which I'm applying to a single base image via the "Glass" filter (creating another animated sequence with the filter).  To do this manually, every time the Glass filter is applied I have to load a new source image in the sequence but I can't find a way to do this through automation (I would need the automation to pick the next file in the folder as a reference for each application of the filter).
Is this possible to do in Photoshop?  I'm using CS4 Extended.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can do that, I would be incredibly greatful as it would not only save me hours of painfully boring work but it would also open me up to making changes down the road (as there is always something that needs to be tweaked).
The current process is this:
(Starting point- I have the original document open "basebackground.psd")
1)  Filter > Distort > Glass
2)  Within the Glass filter, there are 2 pulldowns next to "Texture:".  The first allows me to select a number of default images or the last used custom image (which has to be a .psd).  The second is the single option to "Load Texture..." which is what I use to get the next custom image in my already rendered blackwhite001-300.psd sequence.
3)  After applying whatever number I happen to be on, I cut the canvas size down to 256x256 (as this was a 3x3 grid of 768x768- this allows me to get rid of tile seams that would have been caused by the edges in a 1x1 grid).
4)  With my 256x256 tile ready, I then do a Save As... sequentially from 001-300
5)  After the tile is saved, I undo the document history back to my starting point so I can repeat the steps but this time, using blackwhite002.psd instead of blackwhite001.psd when I get to step 2.
The details from my best attempt at a Glass filter action are as follows:
Effect:  Glass
Distortion:  15
Smoothness:  4
Tescture Type:  (file path to my my blackwhite001-300.psd)
Scaling:  100
Without Invert Texture
In addition, the original document is RGB with 8bits/channel.  If there is any other bit of information you need, please let me know.

  • Trouble with batch export from cd

    a buddy of mine put some music on my i-pod, i downloaded it into i-tunes. When i batch export music into my project it works fine. I have been trying to do this straight from a music cd. It is not wanting to recognize the songs. Am i missing something can we take songs from a cd and use them in our final cut project. i pressed command-b in browser, create new bin, select bin>batch export, drag song from cd into export window, set destination, Aiff as file type change rate to 48.0 click export. I can get it to play from the cd in the project, but i want to eject the cd and access the song of the exported or imported file.

    Just copy it to your hard drive first (preferably inside your scratch disk).
    Files on a CD are 44kHz and FCP works best with 48kHz files so it is best to select the file in the browser, go to Export > QuickTime Conversion. Select AIFF from the drop-down menu (if it is not already selected) and click Options. Make sure Rate is set to 48000 and Sample Size is set to 16, then click Ok and export the file. Import this new file into your project. Because it has the correct settings that FCP is looking for, you should not need to render it.

  • Trouble with Global Filters.

    Hi All,
    When I attempt to use the Global filter by going to "All Images" and then clicking the Clicking the Filter All Images and attempt to a filter by Exif, then "Image File Name contains .nef" . The filter takes a number of minutes (very slow) and then eventually finds all of the images in the Library, not the number of .NEF files in the library.
    I try an alternate approach by creating a new smart album on All images with the filter at EXIF: Images file nane contains .nef. Then I get no images. I do not even think that this query even runs. I am messing around with this, but so far no results.
    How do a global search for a certain type of files? Or even all files that contain a certain keyword.
    Is it always so slow?
    Thanks for your thoughts
    DickB

    It's slow probably because it's doing a full text search. Click on the little magnifying glass in the search box and make sure Limited Text Search is selected instead. That will speed it up because it will search indexed fields instead.
    I can find all the .CR2 files by tyoing .CR2 in the Quick Search field. I think part of the problem is that the Image File Name field is unused. Another one to try is Other: File Name Ends With .NEF

  • Having trouble with my filters in the filter gallery not all working on the image.

    Bas relief filter is not adjusting all the layers.  It is applying the filter to a white screen.  The underlying image does not show through.  I did this successfully yesterday - can't figure out what went wrong.
    The image is in RGB color, 8 bit, and I've tried to do this in both TIFF and PSD formats. 
    I have been creating images by opening the image and then immediately going into the bas relief filter and applying the filter.  This time, when i do that, the preview image in the filter panel goes completely white.  I can see very, very faintly that there is the design in there, as though the design is hidden well behind a thick layer of white.  I adjust the sliders, and it doesn't help.
    To make matters worse, it's doing this for a few of the filters!  Some of them work just fine, and some don't!
    Where I used to be able to go through the entire filter gallery and see how every filter would love on an image, now many of them just show a white screen when I try to apply them, so I know that it's not only the bas relief filter.
    I have a job to turn out - so I need to figure out what I've done wrong!
    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    OK - that is the problem!  I can't thank you enough!!!
    Another question - I have the other file that is exactly what I want to
    duplicate.  Is there a way that I can go into the other file and see the
    color settings for foreground and background that existed prior to the
    change and duplicate them?
    I was working on several different files that look quite similar, as I was
    adjusting the color to have lighter varations.  They all started out the
    same, though.
    It looks like the File>Info shows the process of changes, and I would love
    to know what the settings were before the changes- what the settings were
    when I opened the file.
    Again, I can't thank you enough!

  • Help with batch processing

    Hi, I am having trouble with batch processing. I want to apply adaptive noise reduction (ANR) to several files from the same source tapes. So, following the help instructions, I create a script from one file. When I try to apply it to the other files, instead of applying ANR to them, it simply saves them as is. The steps I perform are as follows:
    I select the entire wave (I have also tried it without first selecting)
    I open the scripts box in the file menu
    I click on open/new script collection and create a new script
    I title the new script
    I click 'record'
    I close the scripts box
    I run ANR on the file
    I go back to the scripts box and click 'stop current script'
    I click add to collection
    I close the scripts box
    I open the batch processing box
    I select the files, then the script, then I click to start processing
    When I try to apply this to script to other files, it saves them but doesn't apply ANR.
    Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Also, in the scripts box, there are three options for the type of script that I can create. One is highlighted: 'Scripts start from scratch.' Is that the correct one to use? If not, how do I select one of the others? I click on them but nothing happens. Finally, when creating a script, do I save the file before or after clicking 'stop record'? I have tried it both ways but don't know which is correct (neither seems to make a difference).
    Just to be as thorough as possible, below is the text of one of my scripts, in case that contains any clues. Thanks so much for any and all help!!

    This is what my script looks like. Although I was worried about the strange characters in the script, it does work.
    Make sure that the script you use is suitable for the sample rate and bit depth of the file. E.g. if you have 44100/32-bit files, then don't use a script that was recorded on a file with e.g. 48000/16-bit. If required, resample or make different scripts for different rates/depths.

  • HT201496 Hai there. I am facing trouble with my garageband apple loops.i don't see apple loops in my browser since quite some time i don't know what has happened to it and how it happened . i just wanted to learn some of basic things about music.can you h

    Hai there. i am having a trouble with the garage band apple loops to get into my macbook pro. . i had it some time back and i dont know where it has gone and how it get it back. is there anyone to help me to get the loops back into the browser . i will be grateful to you if some one can help me with it/ thanks.

    First check, if you do not accidentally have hidden or filtered your loops:
    Uncheck the "Filter for more relevant results" option in the Audio tab of the GarageBand Preferences.
    And the drop down menu on top of the Loop Browser should be set to "Loops", not to some Jam Pack or other collection.
    If you still don't see any loops, check if you have set your project to a special signature, like 9/8, for that no standard loops do exist.
    Then check, if any loops actually are installed in your system Library: Depending on your GarageBand version you should find the standard loops in the Audio folder of your system Library (Application Support > GarageBand):
        Your System Drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops
    If the Loops are installed, but GarageBand does not show them, you need to rebuild your Apple Loops Index: See the FAQ for how to do it:
    Re-Index GarageBand's Loops
    This requires two steps:
    erase the old Apple Loops Index by deleting everything in
    Your System Drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops Index
    and then rebuilding the Loops Index by dragging the folder containing all of your loops onto the Loop Browser in GarageBand.
    If no Loops are installed in your Library, you will have to restore them from your Backup.

  • Trouble with making a freeze frame?

    Hello All,
    I need some help with something I'm trying to do.  I have a short clip in my timeline that I have color corrected and added some filters to.  Then I move the playhead around until I find a still picture that I like and then I go to Modify>Make Freeze Frame and then I move the still from the viewer over to the section that hold all the files.  The trouble is that when I make the freeze frame FCE is giving the version before I did color correction or adding the filters.  How do I get to make a freeze frame that has been color corrected?  It's showing me the raw version before I've done anything to it.
    Thanks for your help.
    MIke

    When the freeze frame is created in FCE, it is only from the master clip (with no filters applied).  Simply drag the filters that you applied to the clip to the new freeze frame.  The filters will be applied with the settings you made.

  • Material with batch is stuck in storage bin.

    Dear Gurus,
    I have a scenario here.
    previously material A has turn on the batch management. later then, it is turn off without checking properly. Now in the system, material A is stuck in a few bins with batch. Our master data user do not allow us to turn on and off the batch because it will affect other plant.
    Has anyone encounter such issue before?
    I need help badly.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Santthi.

    You cannot turn off batch managment "without checking properly". You could just turn off BM, if batches already exist, with an own created ABAP.  And this alone is causing your troubles.
    Best, you take a weekend where nobody in the plants are working, then you use the same uncomplient  ABAP to switch BM on again, goods issue your batches, run archiving, for the batch records and switch off BM using the regular way.

  • Trouble with 10g after Installing Grid Control

    Main problem: after installing Grid Control and rebooting, I can no longer access my databases.
    I have 10g installed on a fairly decent Windows XP machine. It was running okay, but I had two Oracle database instance processes running at 200mb of RAM each (of a total of 1 GB of RAM), so it was a bit bogged down, as is to be expected when running Oracle as a server on Windows.
    I then installed Grid Control, which seemed to go okay, and another database as well. But once the install completed, and I gained access to the Grid Control version of the OEM for the first time, that's when things got wacky. Connecting to any OEM instance started taking anywhere from 2-10 minutes, everything was bogged down considerably, etc. I tried shutting everything down and rebooting, but now things are worse. OEM is timing out and not finding servers, listener is timing out, etc. I've tried manipulating a few things in Net Manager (I noticed that my LISTENER section didn't seem to contain any data at all, and my databases weren't listed in there either) with no result.
    I've also had trouble with "host credentials" and being able to administer the databases within the OEM, even after implementing a fix I had found to add my user name to a "log on as batch job" local security policy.
    Finally, I noticed that after installing Grid Control, when I run "sqlplus", I now see "Oracle91 Enterprise Edition" instead of the "Oracle10g" it used to show (and I never had anything but 10g installed on this machine!).
    Here's what happens when I try to access my dBs:
    -When I try to launch the OEM connected to any of the 3 databases I created (which were previsouly running), the browser just times out with "page cannot be displayed".
    -When I run "emctl start <ANYTHING>" I get file/path not found errors, and a file path with both forward and backward slashes (starting after the "agent" directory):
    C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\agent/<...etc.>
    -When I try to test a connection to a service in Net Manager, I get this error:
    ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable
    I had to manually add my listener info and databases info(under Service Naming) in Net Manager, but everything appeared fine in Oracle Directory Manager (unfortunately, that doesn't help much, since this is just a general info tool).
    I am nothing near a DBA and my knowledge is limited, so I apologize for not being more consise, but I'd be glad to elaborate if someone could tell me what they need to know.
    Thank you,
    John

    Yes; thank you both. Although I had 1 GB physical and 1.5 GB virtual memory configured, running Grid Control seemed to completely kill all available resources.
    I have removed GC and its related database and applications, and I can again conncet to my databases via Database Control. Thank you.
    By the way, another issue has arisen, seemingly in the aftermath of installing GC: my OEM Database Control instances now time out after about 60 seconds, logging me out each and every time. I have cookies enabled, but this doesn't seem to be the trouble. Is there a Web setting somewhere that will kick users out of the instance at timed intervals?

  • QT trouble with Cleaner 6 mpegs

    After updating to QT 7.1.2, I am having trouble playing back mpeg files created with Cleaner 6 (v. 6.0.1). I can watch and hear the first few seconds, but when I click on another point in the timeline or drag the playhead to another point the screen turns black and I get the beachball. However, mpeg files created with Compressor work without any problems but I prefer the Cleaner 6 mpegs because the quality is much better. Is anyone else having the same trouble? I'm not sure whether I should try and revert to the previous version of QT 7 (before the update) to see if this solves the problem.

    Hi Byron,
    Welcome to the forum.
    I take you have experimented with the filters in compressor!
    My suggestion would be to do the slow mo work in something like FCP and get the uncompressed quicktime file the way you like it. Then encode using Compressor.
    Cleaners mpegs have always been of poor quality (visually that is). I am surprisedd that its output is not MP@ML though.

  • Trouble with keyword import in LR5 from one catalog to another

    Hi; I am trying to open a new catalog because my original catalog is getting somewhat sluggish.  It has about 60000 images.  First, will opening a new catalog improve anything?  Second, I have tried to import the prior catalog "keywords" by going: metadata, import keywords, light room settings, key word sets   and get "no items match your search.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have had this Nikon 7100 for about 6 months.  It has more whistles and bells than I am likely to use.  I haven't been troubled by 24 megs in LR I guess because I use it mostly for filing and Photoshop for editing.  I only edit a few.  If I were in need of batch editing, which I may in the future, I think LR would be better.
    As to the timing, don't we all get spoiled.  We have more computer power now than NASA had 15 years ago.  It makes you wonder how the original Apple 2+ with 48k memory even functioned.

    It doesn't sound unreasonable, it is the size of my current camera and I do have to wait for imports to complete but never timed them. Is this a new camera? The reason for the question is that megapixels matter a lot for Lightroom, it is something I haven't gotten used to yet. There are certain Develop adjustments Lightroom struggles with on a 24 megapixel file (cropping, and the Upright and Manual lens corrections, for example). In other words, there are things that Lightroom does on a 6, 12, 14 megapixel file with ease and cannot do with ease on a 24 megapixel file. Memory does not seem to matter, I recently upgraded my laptop and the performance improvement is marginal. You can almost hear the cogwheels moving sometimes.

  • Running reports via command-line with /batch option

    Hi,
    I have created a batch file which runs, and exports the results of 7 different discoverer reports with /batch option.
    Contents of batch file:
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
    c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
    Sample of a cmd file the bacth file runs:....
    /connect user/password@oraprd /apps_responsibility "BIS Super User"
    /open "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Dev\Intransit Extract.dis"
    /sheet 1 /export xls "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\Intransit Input.xls" /batch
    The batch file runs ok and processes each report in sequence, and creates the excel export one after the other.
    However, I need to process the 7 reports in parallel, so changed the batch file to process in own thread :
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
    start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
    The reports kick off at the same time and I can see 7 dis4usr.exe processes running via task manager
    Problem:
    The first reports runs and exports ok.
    All the others dis4usr.exe processing stops with the following error pop-up:
    ! Could not open file. OK
    Question:
    Can you only process reports sequentially via command line mode with /batch option?
    If not...what am I missing...its driving me insane :)
    All asistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Ladies and gentlemen.....I have solved my problemo!
    The reason why the rest of the reports were getting the 'could not open file.' error was due to the fact that each discoverer instance launched was
    trying to access the same standard log file simultaneously.
    I modified each cmd file to write logging info to individual files: eg
    /logfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Automation\input2_log.txt"
    Now that's there's no contention with logging, the reports are firing off beautifully in parallel :)
    I am definitely having a beer this evening!
    Thanks for everyone's input...kept me on the righteous path :)

  • Commands cause Fireworks 8 to freeze (with Batch Progress dialog)

    I've been having consistent trouble with Commands in Fireworks 8 (on Mac OS 10.4) causing the application to freeze. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Here's the scenario: I use custom keyboard shortcuts to trigger commands such as ‘Blend Mode - Forward’ or ‘Increase Brush Size’ in order to speed up my workflow. After executing several of these commands, I'll be doing something simple like using the Selection Tool or adjusting layer opacity, and the application will freeze. A Batch Progress dialog appears ("0 of 0 files processed. Batch conversion  complete."), but it is unresponsive. The only option is to Force Quit the application and to lose any unsaved changes.
    This happens quite frequently. It is not a problem with any particular command; it happens with _all_ commands.
    In trying to fix this bug, I discovered something interesting: Every time a command is executed in Fireworks 8, it generates an empty FireworksBatchLog.txt file within my User/Library/Application Support folder (the same folder where custom Keyboard Shortcuts and Library Symbols are stored). Normally, a Batch Log is written upon completion of a successful Batch Process, and it includes useful information about what files were processed and how. In this case, however, the Batch Log text file is empty.
    Now, this Batch Log might just be a symptom of the glitch, as opposed to the source itself, but it clearly connects with the Batch Progress dialog that appears once the application freezes. Apparently, when commands are executed rapidly via keyboard shortcuts, this empty Batch Log gets rewritten every single time, and a relatively innocuous problem compounds itself and causes the freeze.
    I reinstalled the software, but the bug persists. I've also filed a bug report with Adobe—but would they even consider _looking_ at a bug if the sofware version is this old? It seems odd that Fireworks 8 is the only version never to have received an update. And yet this bug seems very matter of fact. I'm quite surprised that I can't find any other references to it online...
    If anyone knows of a fix for this, or can replicate the bug in their version of Fireworks, please let me know.

  • Extension bells not working with ADSL filters

    I wonder if someone could advise me please. Since January I have subscribed to a BT Vision package. Unfortunately I am experiencing trouble with my phone line as a result.
    Roughly 15 years ago, due to hearing loss, I had an extra bell installed (a 50E – Serial S/1000/3/K/501724) to amplify the sound from my old phone. In about 2003 I had an extra bell installed, also courtesy of BT – this is sealed against the wall and cannot be removed to check the model number. These bells are incompatible with the internet, so if I have the home hub plugged in, I experience constant white noise on the line (despite ADSL filters on my phone lines) which makes it very difficult to hear what is being said on the line. If extra ADSL filters are placed on the wires for both bells, the noise goes silent but so do the bells. The bells do not seem to work with ADSL filters.
    What is BT's policy regarding the upgrading of these non-net-compatible bells?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Barbara

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for the info - the main phone socket is in the hall, and does look similar to the picture, but BT-branded, with a phone and filter coming off it. Directly above that socket is another smaller socket, BT-branded, which leads up to the newer extension bell. The home hub isn't plugged into the hall socket as there's not a power point close enough.
    Upstairs in the bedroom there's a more recent phone socket, smaller than the downstairs one with no BT branding, and that's what the home hub is plugged into, along with one of a pair of BT phones, the other of which is cordless and kept in the living room.
    The 50E bell (the older of the two) is in the kitchen with the wire going around the outside of the house.

    It does seem a bit complex, especially if you have the home hub upstairs. Its quite likely that the extensions do not all originate from the master socket, which makes things difficult.
    The ADSL filters are probably breaking the continuity of the bell circuit and stopping the bells working.
    It really needs an experienced Openreach technician to re-arrange the wiring so that the bells are both on the same circuit, and  fed from a filtered faceplate, without upsetting the broadband to your upstairs extension. A Broadband Boost technician would probably know more about these issues.
    The problem is, that someone will have to pay for the technicians time, as the internal wiring is the responsibility of the customer.
    You can see what the BT Care Team say, but in the end, its going to involve some internal rewiring and cost.

  • Cost(vprs) of free goods with batch managment

    Dear Gurus,
    I have a problem ahout free goods with batch management.
    Cost(VPRS) is not accumulated in billing(free goods is not relevant for billing).
    My configurations are shown as below:
    Ordered goods (and batch) item category :zta1(copied from tan)
    Free goods (and batch) item category :zann (copied from tann) pricing:B ;not relevant for billing;dermination cost:X
    copy control(from delivery to billing):
    ztan: accumulation cost :X
    If I use the material without batch management,Cost of free goods(without batch) is accumulated to main item(ordered goods).
    So, what can I do?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Lykin Kan

    Hi,
    These notes are useful:
    SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD
    SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
    If you have the problem in the transfer from SD conditions to CO-PA, check if you transfer only invoices to COPA, if you don't invoice the deliveries of free goods, then you don't transfer this 'sales' or costs of 'gifts' to COPA. You can check the customizing of COPA in tcode ORKE (IMG for COPA). SAP Note 74486 - INFO: Overview of consulting notes for CO-PA is a good summary about this issue.
    I hope this helps you
    Regards,
    Eduardo
    PD: I forgot SAP Note Number 33968 SD/CO-PA: Characteristics from sales doc tables
