Using scripts/image processor to output png files

Hello,
I need to resize a batch of pngs and would like to use scripts/image processor. My original files are png files. There appears to be no option for outputting pngs -but i must output the files as tranparent pngs.
I'm using ps cs6 on mac os 10.6.8.
Thanks!

  • Help! I am trying to use the scripts image processor in Photoshop CC.

    Help! I am trying to use the scripts>image processor in Photoshop CC. When I click on it it comes up with an error saying that it cannot find the Javascript Plug In. I have the newest version of Java installed. How do I get it to work in Photoshop. Do I have to download a separate plug in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Java is not Javascript.
    Do you have a Mac or PC?
    If PC, do you have this file on your system?
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
    If not, you've got a corrupted installation of Photoshop.  Uninstalling and reinstalling may help.

  • Photoshop CS3, wanting to batch re-size JPGs, going: file-scripts-image processor, the batch images are greyed out can't be highlighted

    Hi - I am trying to batch re-size JPGs in CS3.  I go: file-scripts-image processor and select a batch of JPGs but these are greyed out and can't be highlighted, therefore can't be re-sized. This function worked in the past and suddenly does not. Reading forums on this topic I find I should remove/trash 'Photoshop Preferences'. But I am struggling to find Photoshop Preferences. Really would appreciate simple instructions written for the layman not a computer savvy individual, on how/where to locate these, please. Many thanks.

    A few things to try.
    1)Since jpg's are finiky with bit modes, make sure your mode is in 8-bits per channel only. (found in the image>mode menu)
    2)you could try resetting the preferences by using the 3 modifier keys at startup. ctrl-alt-shift(windows) cmd-opt-shift(mac) Hold these three keys down when you start photoshop if done right when photoshop starts you should get a dialog box asking if you want to reset the preferences)
    3)If these do not help specify the version of photoshop, what OS you have and its version. Then someone can tell you the location of the preference files since it is different on windows vs. a mac.

  • Used Photoshop Image processor to batch convert from CR2 to Jpeg and the edits don't stick

    Ok, so I had a huge wedding where the bride paid me to deliver a ton of images.  Well, i did all my edits in ACR and then photoshop.  While in photoshop all the edits look to have been applied.  So, I use edit > Scripts>Image processor to convert the CR2 files to Jpeg in one fell Swoop.   Well, on my last run though (checking any images for missed edits or what not), none of of the edits were applied to the saved jpegs.  So I bring one up in Photoshop (the saved Jpeg) and the edits are applied in Photoshop.  So I click save and it tries to save as a PSD file (which it was not originally saved as).  I click to JPEG and it asks to replace the existing file and I do.  Voila, all the edits are a-pplied.  Now, I have about 200 images that I need to do this on. 
    Is this common with the image processor?  Is it not for converting processed Raw files to JPEG and keep the edits?
    I'm very frustrated since now, depending on my misunderstand of the tool, I have to spend extra time saving the files again.  (At least I don't have to re-edit them)

    I have action I wrote so that on large groups of pictures I hit my actions.  It goes through the whole set.  Then I hit my flatten and it goes through the whole set.  Then I go to scripts > image processor  and covert them to jpeg. 
    The weird thing is when I bring up the jpegs in photoshop, all the edits are there.  When I look through Photo Mechanic or upload them to the web, they aren't

  • Image Processor will not save files in CS5

    I use image processor to run actions on a bulk group of image files, always worked fine in CS4.  Now with CS5 the files have the action applied but Image Processor will not close the files.... that becomes a problem when I am working with a couple hundred images!  It seems to save the files fine, into the Jpeg or Tiff folder it creates during the process... it just won't close the files and give me the error: "Sorry, I could not process the following files:" 
    I am sure this is a bug, since it works fine in CS4 and the process is exactly the same in CS5.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Is there anyway to fix this?  It's a pain to go back to CS4 just to use the image processor.
    Thanks!

    I looked into it more and found the problem is that when the action runs Photoshop for some reason won't let the file save from the file menu (it's grayed out)... only "Save as" which obviously doesn't work in an action.  Strangely, the file does actually get saved in the folder that is created by Image Processor, but since "save" is grayed out, it won't CLOSE the file. There is no reason for it to gray out "save", when I play the action one file at a time it doesn't do this, only when I use Image Processor in CS5. I really don't understand why it's doing this, I think it's just a bug that needs to get fixed.  Don't have the same problem in CS4.

  • Image Processor freezes, ignore video files?

    I am trying to use the Image Processor to create a copy of my photo directory but sized much smaller and lower quality. Like a super shrunk backup, basically.
    It is doing exactly what I want, but it keeps freezing regularly. It will do a few dozen photos then freeze for a minute or two. At this rate it would take hours just for the paused part, not even counting when it's working. I get a "loading" cursor but otherwise the program is unresponsive.
    I have tried it set at 4 and 7 GB of ram. I have plenty of scratch disc space. My computer seems perfectly capable of handling it, it's an i7 4770. I've tried a few times, but it keeps doing it.
    Is there anything to do about this?
    Edit:
    I think it's from hitting video files and those are just taking a long time. Of course I have no use converting a video to a jpg, is there some way to ignore certain file types?

    I'm having trouble with bridge, it crashes whenever I try to navigate to my second hard drive. However the Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor option seems to just open the same dialog anyway.
    I'm using photoshop cc on windows 7 pro 64
    Never mind it's working now but it doesn't really help because this way I can only deal with one directory at a time. Having lots of directories is whats already making it so that I can't just move the video files.

  • File Scripts Image Processor unable to execute

    Attempting to process several files, simply converting from .TIFF to.jpg and reduce size, yields a "Sorry, could not process the following files:". Other automated scripts are working -- picture package, contact sheet II, PDF presentation, photomerge, et. al. -- but not the Image Processor script. What gives? I repaired permissions, trashed the 'com.adobe.Photoshop.plist' file, and restarted, all to no avail. What gives? Can't find similar topic in forum.

  • Using the Image Processor together with an action - original files won't get closed

    Hi,
    I just made an action to position my website's name at the bottom left of my photos and to use it then together with the  Image Processor.
    When I tried it out, I realized, that my whole pc slowed extremely down. Then I saw that the original files didn't get closed during the image processing process ...
    Then I made some tests and the result was, that the Image Processor doesn't close the original files if the action in use has more than 26 steps.
    Could someone please check out if its the same with his/her Photoshop? I use Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    The problem is caused by your project not 'knowing' about the
    picture. Robohelp will automatically include all images that are
    embedded in HTML docs, but if they are only displayed via a link,
    they do not form part of the files list that is created in the
    resulting .HHP file.
    A remedy: to resolve this in the past, I've created a 'dummy
    page' that is not indexed or included in the TOC, and contains
    embeds of all of these pictures that aren't directly set in the
    HTML. Make sure it is included with the correct conditional build
    tags and recompile, you should find that the linked image now shows
    up in the CHM okay.

  • Collect Thread Dump using Script and direct to separate log file

    Dear Legends,
    I request you to provide me some useful guide lines to collect Thread Dump using script in linux and redirect the output to a separate log file, not the STDOUT file. If it is redirecting to STDOUT then how to extract only the thread stack to a separate log file.
    i used
    ps -ef | grep java
    kill -3 <pid> >> ss1_td.log
    but it is not providing the thread stack to the log file.
    Anykind of help would be appreciated much.
    Regards,
    Karthik

    Hi Ram,
    Really a great and useful script for me at the right time. It solved my requirement and i made some changes to my requirement and the script it working fine to collect the thread dump and even i have checked the thread dump with SAMURAI works fine.
    Helpful site also refer sites like these which contains more valuable things for weblogic. We will meet in the forums again.
    Note: also please update several links available in the site like UNIX scripts, WLST, Python etc.

  • Photoshop Scripts/Image Processor / Action Error

    CS3:
    My image processor has been working just fine with this action.. but for some reason out of the blue it says "sorry I could not process files:" and lists all the files that was processed. now its funny because it works just fine, the action is applied and it saves just fine but it doesn’t close the current window any longer and it gives that error.
    the action is pretty complex but it only copies and rename layers and applies one filter.
    again it worked just fine not too long ago.. I'm not sure what happened...
    here is a copy of the action ... it uses portraiture plug-in filter in the beginning...
    http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/29/194220/File%20start%20action.atn
    any help would be great!
    Thanks!!

    Contact Adobe support, you hit a bug. I never seen that one pop up before.
    But in general what it is saying is it is trying to create a window and to do so it needs to reference a constructor.
    That constructor should have been automatically created or a programmer creates one from scratch, that depends on how the code was created. Since that bug normally does not appear, I would say a some code pointed to the wrong location in memory hence the word reference. (In generic terms reference means to point to a location in memory)
    Try it again and see if it repeats itself. I think Adobe will tell you that you need to reinstall photoshop, but its better that they tell you that as I could easily be misinterpreting that error message.

  • Image Processor not outputting correct size

    It doesn't matter whether I try from Photoshop or Bridge, the result is the same: I'm doing a simple JPEG resize to fit, from 603x603 to 100x100 but they always result in a size of 101x100! What the heck could be going on? I've tried specifying a pixel less i.e. 99x100 but then it actually does it at that size. BTW, I'm running it on an IMAC OS X if anyone has any ideas, thanks.

    I've seen the same thing happen. It drove me nuts because it was in one of those
    cases where the dimensions had to be exact. My solution (because I needed one
    fast) was to trim off either a row or column of pixels. Probably not the best I
    could have done, but I didn't have much time to work through it any deeper.

  • Image processor not converting to sRGB

    When I use CS4 image processor to convert PSD files to JPEG and check "convert to sRGB" the resultant file has a sRGB profile embedded.
    When I use CS5 image processor to convert PSD files to JPEG and check "convert to sRGB" the resultant file has NO embedded profile.
    Can anyone tell me why?
    Thanks

    Heh heh heh.  It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
    Thanks for following up with the answer.
