Wish Image Processor always came up.

Not most innovative request, but gotta let you know. Lot of times I select the image processor (from within Bridge) and it just does not come up. So far----thankfully, it comes up after a quit and relaunch. But hoping not have to do that down the road. appreciate it.

Thanks for replying! I'm running CS 5.1. Oh, now I see...I've never run Image Processor from within Photoshop, just from Bridge. You're right, it does offer different options than Bridge.
Anyway, I found it what I was looking for.
Open up (don't run!) the Image Processor.jsx file. I opened it up in ExtendScript Toolkit. The path is /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.1/Presets/Scripts/Image Processor.jsx
I'm on line 1574 (in other versions, the line number may vary)
This is what the line says:
var subFolderText = inFolderLocation + "/JPEG/";
Change to:
var subFolderText = inFolderLocation + "//";
Problem solved. Repeat as necessary for other folders you don't want created (TIFF, PSD)
Back to work!

Bridge Image Processor always creates JPEG or TIFF folder, how do I change that behavior?

I have searched the web, Bridge forums, and Photoshop forums, and come up empty-handed. (The strange thing is, I know there used to be a post that answered this question a few years ago.) Anyway, I use Image Processor quite a bit, and it works great except for the annoying behavior of always creating a new folder to store the newly-created images.
I remember the solution is to change some line in a (XML?) file from "JPEG" to "". For the life of me, I can't find which file that is! I think it used to located down inside Application Support. I think.
Thanks for help on this, it's driving me crazy!

Image processor always on top?

When I use image processor (launched by Photoshop or Bridge) Photoshop go in front (top window) each new picture processed, means every seconds.
It's pretty annoying cause I can't even keep a browser in front...
Does anybody have the same problem?
It comes with CS4 and CS5, on 2 different machines.
How can I fix that?

The Image Processor resize is a fit image type resize not an Image Size dialog type resize. Let say you have a 3:2 aspect ratio camera. Landscale image have 3:2 aspect ratio and portrait have 2:3 aspect ratio. You want the resize your large camera images for the web. You want the longest side to be 600 px. You would set the width and height values 600 px. Your image would be resize constraine to retain their aspect ratios. So landscape images would resize to 600px by 400 px and Portraits would resize to 400 px by 600 px. You can also resize Image fot a device like your 4:3 UXGA display set 1600 in for the width and 1200 for the height Portrait would still be 2:3 with a 1200 px height and Landscape will still be 3:2 with a 1600 px width. When displayed on you 4:3 display the whole images would fit on your display and fil the width or hight depending in the images orientation ther woul be a border on two sides.
Photoshop also shipts with a FitImage Plug-in so you can record using the plug-in in as action. When you do the values you set in the fitimage dialog while recording the action are recorded into the action step. When the action plays back the values are passed to fitimage and the dialog for the step is not diaplayed. Unless you thurn on that steps dialog. If you do you will see the recorded values are set into the dialog. So you don't need to write a script to handle resize for different orientations. It just so happens to be that since CS3 FitImage is a script. So if you want to pass some values to a script. Write the script as a plugin and record as action to pass recorded values. Plug-in scripting support was added in CS3. The script needs to record its dialog setting into the action step and also not display it dialog if it being run from a recorded action step. To learn more read FitImage.jsx in Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder.

How to run image processor with ACR?

I have a folder with 1000 raws.
I just want to run image processsor to make small jpegs for the copyright office.
Think it ACR opens each one to the ACR window and then stops.
(I think Jeff S, explained this in a previous thread of mine I now cannot find— sorry. At that time it probably was not a critical issue and I move on. But I do gotta get these shots over to Washington DC now. thanks!)

The interaction between Image Processor and Camera Raw depennds on your Image Processor settings...if you've laready set the image adjustments (or don't need any adjustments) simply be sure you DON'T select Open fist image to apply settings> As long as you don't select this option, IP will run through all of the raw files, process them with the image settings and save as JPEG–you'll want to select the Save as JPEG, set the quality and prolly set to Convert Profile to sRGB. If you want to minimize the final output size (suggested for several reasons) you can select the Resize to Fit option. You don't want to send high rez images to the Copyright Office...1024 x1024 is large enough...you WILL want to fille out the bottom line for Copyright Info.
Yes, Lightroom can be used for this (easily) but so can Bridge/ACR/Image Processor.

Image processor defaulting to camera raw settings

I'm trying to process a folder of RAW files. I'm using image processor and selecting the "open first image to apply settings" button. It opens the first Raw file in the folder and I can apply the Raw settings I want. This creates an xmp file next to that particular picture. The problem is, unless there is an xmp file next to each additional file in the bunch, it reverts to the camera raw default settings and does not apply the raw setting that I've selected to the picture.
Is there some way to make sure this doesn't happen?

well, I think I at least found a work around. If I save the settings I want as new camera defaults, it keeps the conversion consistent.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

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.

Minor modification to Dr Browns Image Processor Pro?

I came across Dr Browns fantastic script and I'm hoping there's a developer that might be able to help with a minor (?) revision to the code.
He has kindly released the source code on his website http://www.russellbrown.com/images/tips_downloads/OpenSource.zip
I need it to do two main things:
Save 1. run a renaming convention on the original images and retain the file type/ extension
Save 2. resize the images for web (incorporating an action called up from PS to convert to RGB). No problems here.
I know I can do this in a two step process with bridge to rename and then use the script (or indeed a droplet) to resize for web, but I wish to keep this as a one step process.
Image Processor Pro does both of these fine except for one thing:
I need an option in Save 1. to save files in the format they already are - rather than forcing all files to save into a particular format.
I get hundreds of images from various companies (I work as a designer for an arts organistion) and they are all in a variety of formats and I want to maintain the highest possible quality file we are provided.
Basically I want the option of using the naming convention section of the script without the file save as file type bit.
This assue this could be done by either skipping the File Type/ Quality section altogether (but keeping the save to subfolder), or by including "keep current extension" into the file type drop down.
Things that would also be great:
3. An option to delete/ replace originals in the process (as I will be deleting these anyway)
4. The script can be made into a drag and drop application that calls up bridge/ PS?
Any assistance on this would be great.
PS- I have posted this over on the Photoshop discussion page as well, as that is where I came across the scipt in the first place.

Thanks

Yup didn't realise you are on mac.
If you don't want to keep the originals with their original names (ie if you're just overwriting the originals) then why mot just batch rename in bridge first? If you run an action or script then you'll have to wait whilst each file is opened and saved, whereas you run a batch rename and it's a file system task - virtually instantaneous.
Then just image processor, or a batch action from bridge (I'd create the latter because the. You can reuse it without needing to check settings or destinations over and over)

Image Processor CS4 Cannot batch process from psd to jpg ERROR MSG

I have been receiving the error message "Sorry, I could not processes the following files:" when ever I try to change DNG or PSD files to jpg in camera raw. It does not matter if I try this with one file or 100. I am running CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8. I have enough memory, have cleared trash, purged cache....I don't know what to do to make this run correctly. Please help!

Thank you for responding and yes, I would be more than happy to elaborate.
In Bridge I normally change my images from psd or dng using the following steps:
Tools
Photoshop
Image Processor
change to jpg with a quality of 10
This has always worked in the past on CS3 and worked a few times once I upgraded to CS4.
I can do one image or a number of images. I started receiving the error message stated above
when doing these steps.
I have purged Bridge cache, have memory on system...startup disks are not full.
I cannot figure out why I keep getting this message or how to fix it.
Any and all help is much appreciated!!!

Image Processor Tab Missing in New Adobe Bridge CC 2014

In the new Bridge CC you used to have a TAB under tools called Photoshop which you could run the script Image Processor for easily processing jpegs. What has happened to this and is their maybe a new way of processing jpegs to lo-res that I dont know about from tiff or jpeg or does my bridge have a problem?
I have attached a image grab from my bridge that shows that the tab is not there. I know that you can access image processor directly from Photoshop, but they used to always be linked.

No, it is still in Bridge CC.
Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014? If so, that may have removed some of the Bridge integration scripts by mistake. Re-installing Photoshop CC 2014 should replace the scripts.
and it should give the image processor tab back

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

File Place does not appear on my menu. Neither does Tools Photoshop Image processor.

In Bridge File>Place is grayed out on my menu. Tools>Photoshop>Image processor does not appear at all. I have reset the preferences numerous times and am good to go until I shut down my computer. When I reboot they are gone again. I have a Mac with OS 10.10.2 (Yosemite) and CC.

Well, that's fine for the OS, but sometimes not so great for Photoshop. Try QUITTING Photoshop from the Photoshop menu, or by Command Q, before you get anywhere near your Apple menu .
Gene gave you sound advice, but don't forget to run Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility before and after any installation, upgrade or update of the OS or any application.
You'd think that shouldn't be necessary, but it is indeed vital, indispensable routine maintenance.
Forget about "it had never happened before", Yosemite is a work in progress. Apple never gets a major OS X release right until about the dot four or five release, so Yosemite has a way to go before it's at 10.10.4 or 10.10.5. That has proven to be the nature of the beast.

Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found. CS5

I like to use Bridge to export groups of photos and with past versions I've been able to select photos, go to Tools>Photoshop>Image Process and select one of my custom actions. Now I get this error: Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

By default the image processor script should be placed in the Application
folder (on root level, not in the user
account)/AdobePhotoshop/presets/scripts/ image Processor.jsx
Also by default in Bridge preferences Start up Scripts Adobe Photoshop
should have a checkmark in front of it.
If you changed any of these there lies your fault, if it happened to fail
out of the blue you first should try restart Bridge holding down option key
and choose refresh preferences.
First check if it works now and if it does again set preferences to your
wishes. (obvious not deselecting the PS script... )
Now I get this error: Photoshop Image Processor.jsx could not be found.

In Bridge CS6, my "Tools" tab is now missing the Image Processor option.

Hello!
Two glaring changes were made in my system all by itself. One is that in Bridge CS6, under the "Tools" tab, the "Image Processor" option is gone. All that's left is Batch Rename and Cache options. Does anyone know why this happened or how to restore this. Also, whenever I double click an image, it now goes directly to Photoshop as opposed to opening in Camera Raw first like it used to. All and any help is appeciated. Thank you!!!
Eric

Curt, thank you for your response. I did try that. I unchecked then
reselected all start up options and still nothing. Any other
suggestions?

Image Processor not working for me. Help!

In a nearby thread I've reached a stumbling block. Image Processor in CS4's PS is not working for me. I have a folder of psd's generated on the fly via File > Export > Data Sets as File... and now I'm trying to process those psd's to generate a JPEG of each. The only strange characteristic of the auto-generated PSD files is that there is no image preview available within the Finder. When a psd is selected the preview pane reads:
"This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image"
I've verified in my Preferences > File Handling that image previews are always saved. (But I've been using PS for a long time and previews are always available with all my manually saved work.)
So here's what happens when I invoke File > Scripts > Image Processor...
In section 1 of the menu I select the source folder where the psd files reside
In section 2, I select 'Save in same location'
In section 3, I select 'Save as JPEG'
In section 4, I change nothing. No special actions. Include ICC profile is checked.
When I select run I get an error message: "Sorry, I could not process the following files:"
And then it lists what appears to be 3 lines per psd file in the source directory:
The path to the source dir
The name of the source dir
The [source_dir]/[filename.psd]
What am I doing wrong?

Check your Photoshop preferences and make sure you have set in the file handling tab "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility:" to Always using the pull down menu. If that is not your current setting try setting that to see if the exported PSD files contain composite previews. When I use save as PSD on my system I alway see Photoshop save through up a popup window stating generating composite preview image.

Photo images from dig. cam [one is error and other won't open] questions

My wife inserted the sd card in the card reader and copied about 70 photo image files to the Mac. The camera that took all the 70 photos was a Panasonic DMC-LZ5 but I don't think the camera model matters much here.
For the first time, 2 of the many images seem to be corrupt. Mac X reports one photo image has an error while trying to open and reports the second image won't open.
My main concern is whether or not to just delete the two error/corrupt jpg images. My other main concern is that I don't want to keep the two images if it could affect or corrupt my hd or Mac system in some way.
I normally just trash corrupted files; however, in this case I went ahead and attempted to open both of the 2 troubled files myself later and they both opened up in Preview and didn't report any error or corruption. However, one of the jpg images defintely is corrupt when viewing it as the bottom of the image is definitely messed up. However, the other image now opens perfectly and looks fine to the eye as if nothing is wrong with it.
Here is a link to the one photo image that isn't quite right [note the obvious distortion at bottom of image]. Link is http://mysite.verizon.net/vzenvo78/question595.jpg
Further very relevant information: The SanDisk sd card that all the 70 images were on is a 1 gig card and the sd card seems to be a total loss. The sd card can't be initialized/formatted by disk utility and furthermore the sd card is no longer recognized by the Panasonic camera - the Panasonic camera won't even preview the images off the card or allow me to format the card even from the camera.

Hello,
I see what you are talking about. I just discovered this same exact problem on a friends G5 after he uploaded pics from his Leica.
This is what I did: I ran Disk Utility from the system restore disc to verify and repair the drive. DU reported Volume Bitmap problems. DU was able to repair the disc. Next, I created a new user account and tried uploading the images from the camera to the G5 and it worked just fine. The images loaded like they should.
I also reinstalled the drivers that came with the camera.
Delete any files that your Mac reports as a problem. It's just not worth leaving them on the drive.
So...... run Disk Utility from your system restore disc. If it reports errors, hopefully DU can repair them. If not, one option is to get DiskWarrior here:
www.alsoft.com or TechToolPro4 here: www.micromat.com
One other idea is how old is the card?
Next idea is to create a new user acccount: System Prefs/Accounts. Try using that account to upload the same images. See if they upload as they should. If they do, then the issue isn't system wide, it's just in the other user account.
Remember to always back up your images/audio/data often as you never know when you might need to do either an Archive or Erase and Reinstall.
Carolyn

Wish Image Processor always came up.
