Using Aperture to batch convert images from tiff to jpeg

Hi there
My first question - here goes:
I wish to batch convert several thousand tiffs (of various sizes) to a standardised jpeg (A4 @ 300dpi). I'm looking for software to automate this process as much as possible; ideally, it would search designated folders and place the new jpegs in a (matching) new folder structure.
Would Aperture be suitable for this, or should I consider Adobe Lightroom (or other)?
Many thanks
BR

No filters.
Solution I used was to create new project. Copy images to it. Delete old project.
Aperture would not let me copy images from old albums to old project.

  • Convert image into TIFF 4

    I have a requirement to convert images from TIFF 6 to TIFF 4. I have been able to convert to TIFF without compression. However, to reduce the file sizes I need to implement compression_group4. Although it is listed as being supported . . . it does not appear to be.
    Any ideas?

    (1) Are you using compression? I can create TIFFs but not compress them using .COMPRESSION_GROUP4
    (2) When I try and use JAI's ImageCodec (specifically TIFFEncodeParam) and specify COMPRESSION_GROUP4 I get a run-time error: "java.lang.Error: Unsupported compression scheme specified."
    (3) This error seems to be generated by the line .setCompression, as I have been able to generate the error without specifying an image. (ie: it's not related to this image not being supported)
    (A) Here is the code I'm using:
    OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(destinationFile); //where destinationFile is a File object representing the saved file
    TIFFEncodeParam param = new TIFFEncodeParam();
    param.setCompression(TIFFEncodeParam.COMPRESSION_GROUP4);
    ImageEncoder enc = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("TIFF", os, param);
    enc.encode(src); //where src is a RenderedImage Object
    os.close();
    any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can I batch convert images in a folder hierarchy?

    I can't seem to be able to create an Action or Droplet in Photoshop CS5 that will batch convert images in situ in a hierarchy of folders. In the Photoshop Actions you have to specify an explicit destination, and there's no "save back to the same place" option that I can find.
    I used to be able to do this with ImageReady CS2, but Tiger is going to kill that. Help!

    If you want to give it a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
    After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
    // 2011, use it at your own risk;
    #target photoshop
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    // get document-path and -name; thanks to xbytor;
         var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
         var myDocName = myDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
         var myPath = myDocument.path;
    // save for web options;
         var webOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
         webOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.COMPUSERVEGIF;
         webOptions.optimized = true;
         webOptions.colorReduction = ColorReductionType.ADAPTIVE;
         webOptions.dither = Dither.NONE;
         webOptions.quality = 100;
         webOptions.includeProfile = true;
         webOptions.matteColor = new RGBColor();
         webOptions.matteColor.red = 255;
         webOptions.matteColor.green = 255;
         webOptions.matteColor.blue = 255;
    // export;
         myDocument.exportDocument(new File(myPath+"/"+myDocName+".gif"), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, webOptions);
    Edit:
    The Script could be recorded into an Action.
    It would also be possible to create a Script that offers a dialog for File- or Folder-selection and subsequently operates on all selected/contained files of specified formats, but that would be a different approach from the Droplet.

  • Problem trying to batch resize images from bridge.

    I am trying to batch resize images from bridge. I am on windows 7 desktop and using CC, I select the images in bridge, tool bar>tools>photoshop>image processor. After doing this, photoshop CC opens but no images open.

    open photoshop, open actions pallette, click new action (windows > actions (or Alt+f9)), click record, open your image, resize it, click stop action.
    then use file> automate > batch
    the action you just recorded will be ready to use, select the folder with all your photos (wise to work on a duplicated folder incase you mess up)
    run the action.  wait while photoshop opens and resizes the images one by one.
    check in folder if the images resized how you expected.

  • When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there anything I can do about this ?

    When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there any way to prevent this ?

    Hi Joe , Thank you for your quick response . I am viewing the jpeg in Microsoft Picture Manager and Flickr. It 's not always really noticeable , but for example if I shoot into the light with dew on the grass , the dew glistens in LRoom and I'm happy with the shot but when I convert it to jpeg ,it looks dull. I have changed the setting to sRGB - from Adobe 1998 ,but don't see much difference.  Kind regards   Alberto.

  • Convert image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB

    Hey.
    I wonder if anyone has experience with converting image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB?
    I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back. I read that it supposed to cause some loss in the data, but I can't see anything on the image, it is still very huge and the 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
    Thanks for help

    I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back.
    The original RGB data is not being restored by converting from the CMYK version, so the term "keep" seems inappropriate.
    What are the actual Color Spaces (ICC profiles) involved?
    Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
    How did resolution come into this?
    To determine how large a portion of the image has been changed you could
    • make a flattened copy of the original image
    • place a flattened copy of the RGB->CMYK->RGB image on top of that and set it to Blend Mode Difference
    • add an Adjustment Layer (Curves for example) to brighten the image

  • There is a major color shift in my artwork image from the photoshop jpeg to dreamweaver - it gets 'g

    There is a major color shift in my artwork image from the photoshop jpeg to dreamweaver - it gets 'grayed out', loses color contrast. I checked in Bridge and the color settings are synchronized. The image in photoshop is just like what i get from my Nikon D90 camera. The  grayed out image has also been noted by two of my professional printer co. which i use but one of my printers - Modern Postcard - the images in photoshop are perfect. I just need to know what causes the color shift and how to control/manage it, thank you, Kathyrn

    I have noted color shifts as well and have come to a few observations.
    When you are making a .JPG file and you are trying to make a color in that file be the same color as your website's background, you're going to get a lot of failures. Photoshop will add color information in an ICC file in the meta information in the file if you like. That tends to produce actual colors, but they do not fit a web gamut.
    The way I generally deal with images that need high quality is that I use the Save for Web and Other Devices exclusively, either ticking on or off the ICC profile for JPEG files and working with what works best. Saving a JPEG with as much information as is possible is usually the best choice but, since JPEG is a "lossy" compression scheme, you are always going to get some issues.
    Additionally, the web browser in question will have control over what is displayed as well.
    So try playing with the ICC profile in Photoshop's Save for Web And Other Devices and see if you can't get things a little more reliable.

  • CS3: Any way to Batch convert files from different directories?

    Using CS3. I want to open a bunch of TIF files and re-save using different file options. The only way I know to do this is with File > Automate > Batch. But that only works if the destination folder for all files is the same. It's not.
    Ideally I would not need to first open the files in Photoshop. Perhaps something with Bridge will work. Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor looks promising. There's even an option called "Save in same location", which does not do what it says so is totally useless.

    >Bridge and Finder. They might both be running, but they are two programs that aren't Photoshop to do one simple thing Photoshop should do already by version 11.
    The whole point is that Bridge is supposed to be used as an integral part of the CS4 SUITE.
    I keep Bridge CS4 running at ALL times (it uses a minute amount of resources when it is just in standby mode) and I consider it to be an essential adjunct to Photoshop particularly if you deal with digital camera files.
    I use its "Get Photos from Camera" to download from my card reader in preference to Nikon's download program; and I open whole batches of RAW files for processing in Bridge-hosted ACR 5.2.
    ACR 5.2 also handles scanned Tiffs and JPEGs.
    And I use Bridge to output Web Galleries; attach files to e-mails; collect aliases of all the files of any kind (and from any folder) that are needed for a particular project into a single Collection: and generally to organize file storage throughout my System.
    The only thing that I can't yet do directly from Bridge is to burn a Collection to a CD or DVD.
    Hopefully, someone like David Franzen will create a Script to do that too?

  • Aperture fails to load images from CF card, now not able to open

    I have a new Canon 5D Mark III camera and was sold a  Lexar SD Professional 32 GB card and a Lexar Professional UDMA 7 Compact Flash 32 GB card.  Downloading the images from the camera is a problem.  I am using  a Mac Book Pro 15" with operating system OSX 10.6.8.   Aperture is on a Lacie external hard drive and now fails to open.  Yesterday, a message saying 'unreadable files' would show and a few images would be saved to Aperture.  Also, later, an 'unrecognizable format' message would appear. Before it stopped working, it would download one or two selected images but not a large number of images.
    Any solutions?  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Thanks Ernie!  The images would not load from the camera with the USB camera supplied cable.  Yes, the MBP has slot for the SD card and it downloads the images. 
    The Aperture library is on the LaCie external HD.  Don't know if the drive is formatted as OS X extended.
    After posting the entry, I went to the local Staples store and purchased a Verbatium card reader and lo and behold, the world is fine.  The Aperture has returned and I was able to download all the CF card images.  The card reader would not read the SD card despite having it listed as one of the cards it's able to read.  Don't know what's happening here but at least I can use the MBP slot.
    To me, it's strange!  It was all looking quite grim!  Thank you for your assistance!

  • Aperture is not deleting images from 'camera'

    I eject the CF card from my camera and put in a USB reader and plug it into the USB cable (from back of iMac to female). Aperture dutifully imports the images into my library then asks if I want to delete the files and eject. I click on that option and it asks again if I'm sure. I click on delete and eject.
    Then Aperture ejects the CF without deleting the files.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Any advise?

    Sometimes the FAT table becomes corrupt and the card needs a reformat. If you just delete files from the card, a hidden problem may jump out and bite you when you least want it.
    It's always preferable to reformat in-camera than to delete files using computer software.

  • Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

    Hi everyone..
    ..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them  using  canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
    anyone else had similar problems....Andy

    I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
    Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like?  Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
    And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
    In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

  • Batch converting music from 440Hz to 432Hz

    Hi Group,
    I recently downloaded Adobe Audition trial version and I like this product enough to purchase if it can support the following;
    I have 25000 songs on a windows PC and I want to batch convert from 440 hz to 432 hz.  I can convert each song individually and the quality is perfect but it requires my attention every 5 minutes.  Thank you in advance for your support.
    Regards,
    Jay

    You can save your pitch changes settings as a Favourite by clicking on the star icon in the Pitch Shifter effect and giving it a name. You can then apply this favourite to files added to the Batch Process pane. I believe that some people have hit a limit with the number of files you can successfully add to the Batch Process so you won't be able to do all yours at once. But it should be OK with smaller batches. So give it a whirl whilst your Audition trial is still active.

  • Cannot Copy RAW Images to Tiff or Jpeg while in ACR

    Requesting immediate help if anyone available currently
    I've been using Photoshop CS6 for several years, never a problem at all. As soon as I bought Creative Cloud, I see many issues that cannot be resolved or are recurring.
    Again today as I go to copy files (images) from Adobe Camera Raw, to say a Tiff or a Jpeg, it appears to begin to copy as normal, then suddenly a box appears with all my copying
    file name/numbers, and it begins to eliminate one by one "Cannot Create File", failing the entire process to copy. I have never seen this until I began using Creative Cloud about a
    month ago.
    Can anyone help this Saturday evening as I am trying to complete a large project of images for others who expect them soon?
    Thank you and I look forward to any advice soon,
    Mark Seibold, Artist-Astronomer, Portland Oregon

    First I'd like to state I am fairly ignorant of Adobe Camera Raw, as I've been using Lightroom for years. I'm only replying because you seem under a close time constraint.
    Are you working within PS CC? It seems that Camera Raw no longer exists independently, but rather as a plug in within PS CC. I mention this because I seem to recall at one point it could function as an independent app. I am just wondering if you were using an old version of ACR, that may have been overwritten, or started within PS CC.
    That is the only help I can offer as far as ACR, and may have nothing to do with your issue.
    If you must get these done very soon and can't solve ACR, I'd also suggest giving Lightroom a shot, if you've access to it, just this one time, until you get ACR running again. Open it up, Create an intial library, like 2015 or Lightroom. Import the images you'd like to copy/convert, in a way that that the originals aren't moved and copies of the RAWs, (or DNGs) are made. Then select all, in the most recent import folder, and turn around and export them in whatever form you desire. Also, Lightroom is non-destructive, so, if you'd like to try making adjustments before exporting, under the develop tab, any alterations or adjustments you might make before exporting are completely reversible.
    I realize changing one's workflow, and learning a new app, may be too much effort at this point, and very possibly require too much time, but you might pick it up quickly enough to get 'er done on time.
    That is all the help I can offer. Wish I knew more about ACR.

    Hi Rick
    Thanks for clarifying that. Yes, that term was my mistake, as I meant to write 'Save As"
    Another forum respondent just replied also, and he states as so many others do, that they do not use
    the Adobe Camera Raw app formerly with CS6, as they instead use Lightroom, so he apologized that he
    was not familiar with ACR but that I might have an old CS6 plug-in running that may not be completely
    compatible with the new Creative Cloud. I am not sure if this is the problem.
    What I would find as not really likely, is that the Creative Cloud engineers would go through all the trouble
    to redesign from the old CS6, then even assist us over the phone to help install it, but in oversight,
    leave us without a proper update to properly run Adobe Camera Raw. I also have never really understood the advantage of Lightroom. I'm sure that many must enjoy its efficiency, as I hear wedding photographers like it for huge batch processing of adjusting many images in synchronicity all at once. I would say that I do the same with ACR accessing it through Bridge, and I like ACR's quick and simple access for simple image adjustments and then say a small batch all synchronized, then finally to "Save As" for all selected to a final output as Tiff or Jpeg.
    As an astronomer that has just started learning to use Registax for night sky images, we also like the ACR adjustments and then to "Save As" eg. all Jpeg or all Tiff, to then photo-stitch large landscape and night sky panoramas with Microsoft ICE photo-stitching.
    Sorry for the long description here, but I hope to relate the total idea of what I am doing for the past years. I'll even attach an example >
    Thanks for your possible solution to my problem in "Saving As" in ACR,
    Mark

  • How to Convert all PSDs/TIFFs to JPEGs within subfolders (no "JPEG" folder)?

    Hello all, I come to you with what I hope is a fairly simple question and I would put it in scripting if needed but I'm not a scripter. I am sifting through many terabyte drives trying to track down all large image files and delete them after making an identically sized JPEG. I can create actions or use the File->script->Image Processor or some other method you suggest.
    There is a drive in question with hundreds of folders broken down by a client number and occasionally we'll design something as a psd. Well after each year we like to keep the images but do not need the multilayered psd/tiff files any longer. I would love something to grab every psd/tiff on the drive and convert it to jpg (and delete psd afterward but that I can do by hand). However both batch and image processor have drawbacks that don't allow me to do this. Can anyone help?
    Is there a way to make the Image Processor not save in a "JPEG" folder but in the true "same location" as it stipulates. I have bound it to a hotkey and am currently dragging in chunks at a time, then going into the folders, cutting/pasting, then deleting the jpeg folders, then deleting the psds... it's quite cumbersome.
    Ideally the files wouldn't go through the GUI so it would be speedier but not necessary. I can use Photoshop or Bridge CS3. I am finding the files by windows searching extensions so if possibly a droplet or something could allow this, I'd use that as well. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

    You might want to post this to the Photoshop Scripting Forum.
    Good luck,
