Write keywords to the opened image

Hi
The document "Photoshop JavaScript reference" tells the document.info.keywords  is a read/write property.
I opened an image in Photoshop that has 2 keywords. I can read it normally but it seems I cannot write or delete these keywords
I need to delete all the current keywords and add just one called "Processed". What I´m trying:
var doc = app.activeDocument
var k = "Processed"
doc.info.keywords = doc.info.keywords.splice (0, doc.info.keywords.length)
doc.info.keywords[0] = k
It gets no errors but does not do anything :/
What Am I missing?
Thank you a lot
Gustavo.

Perfect!!
It´s easier than I was doing
Thank you a lot!
Best Regards
Gustavo.

  • When opening an image Photoshop Elements 12 is opening it in Camera Raw, it is not a RAW image and it is cropped How do I uncrop the opened image?

    When I am opening a .jpg image not an actual raw camera image from Elements 12 it is being opened as a camera Raw image and the image is cropped, I can't find anyway to get the image to uncrop or zoom out so that the entire image is visible so that I can actually edit it to something that is useable. The images were taken with an iPad and copied I suspect using the organizer from Elements 11 but I can't be sure. If I could just uncrop the opened image so that the entire image is visible this would not be a big deal.
    Is there a way to uncrop the image that is being opened by Camera Raw? Am I going to have to get my hands on the source of the images (the iPad) and copy the images again using explorer and not let them be copied with the organizer?

    Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
    This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
    You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
    There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE.

  • Opening a 2nd image gets PLACED in the open image

    Using Ps CS5 12.1. Win7 62bit
    If I have a file open in PS and then I drag a file from Bridge to the PS icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the image opens in the previously opened file as if I had done a File | Place command, instead of just opening in a new window as has always been the case before. Can't see how to turn this 'feature' off - any help much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Okay I think I've sorted it out, although it doesn't seem to make sense to me...
    In Edit | Preferences | Interface I have unchecked "Open Documents as Tabs" AND "Enable Floating Document Window Docking", and in Edit | Preferences | General the option to "Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects" remains unchecked.
    It now seems to work as before, I can now drag from Bridge into Photoshop and each image opens up independantly of the others.
    Problem solved, thanks, guys!

  • How can i NOT include top level keyword in the metadata of an image?

    Hello,
    I want to know how can i NOT include top level keyword in the metadata of an image. I know there is an option for not applying a keyword to an exported image, but is there an option for not applying the top level keyword to the actual image?
    I have organized my geographical (by location) keywords like this:
    Places
    USA
    New York
    Miami
    Spain.
    If i add geographical keywords to all my images, all my images will have the keyword "Places", i dont think that it have any sence to have all your images with one keyword. How can i fix this? Any sugestion? i will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me.
    Excuse my english, i know it is not good. I hope that you could understand me.
    Thanks,
    Marcelo :)

    Explicitly excluding a keyword only applies when "exporting". Unfortunately, there's currently no way to stop the keyword being written to the file when "Save Metadata to File" command is used. The natural reaction of users to this difference is to suggest that it is stupid. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the difference exists:
    1. "Export" creates a new file whereas "Save Metadata to File" writes the metadata back into the existing file.
    2. There are very good reasons why certain keywords should not be written to file, and the example given in the OP is one. Saving metadata to file is more often used as means of backing up important image related metadata, independently of the catalog or allowing the metadata to be visible in other aplications. It would be rare that such a file would be shared with a third party, so the reason for not including certain keywords is less obvious. Actually, not including it can result in no end of confusion and grief. For example, if the top level (or any keyword) was excluded during the save metadata process then the other keywords would be orphaned when image is imported back into the catalog (e.g. buiding a new catalog).
    The development team are aware of the need, in some circumstances, to exclude certain keywords when save metadata command is used. How and when the issue is resolved, without adding even more confusion/complexity, is some way off.

  • The latest QT 10 player doesn't open image sequence anymore?

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard. I found the QT10 came with it has no "open image sequence" under the File menu.
    My old QT7.6.6 player has this wonderful feature.
    Can someone explain what's going on? Thanks.

    I just noticed the same problem. However, I did do a Time Machine backup before I upgraded and was able to restore the previous version of QuickTime as well as keeping the new version. I've just tested the 'Open Image Sequence' on the old version and it appears to work fine.

  • Using Bridge to Camera Raw to Open Image button also drop shadow problems

    I remember when I was working with RAW in PSE 8. I would be in Bridge looking at a pic and double click on it. PSE 8 would open in Camera RAW and I could play with the pic a bit, make some adjustments, then click on OPEN IMAGE. When I did that it would open in PSE and it would be in jpg format. With this PSE 9 and the updated Camera RAW 6.3, when I punch OPEN IMAGE I still have a picture labeled .CR2 which I think still means RAW. When I double click in Bridge the .CR2 pic shows as 8 bit depth. I can do a little more work on it and use SAVE AS. When I do that, the sample file name that shows is still in .CR2 format and I must change that to .jpg and then below change from PHOTOSHOP to JPEG to save my file as a jpg file. Is there something that I have to change in preferences to get it to open the image in jpg format when I hit the OPEN IMAGE button? Or, is this an "improvement" with RAW 6.3? Also, I seem to be having trouble adding a drop shadow (or any other effects) on jpeg pics. At least it doesn't show up on the screen after I apply it. I just recently updated to Camera RAW 6.3 and updated my Operating system on my iMac computer to OS 10.6.6. I emailed this request to my good friend with an identical setup on his iMac and he is having the same response when performing the above operations. Any ideas what the problem might be?

    Okay, previously you seem to have been using the bridge version of camera raw to edit your raw photos. That has many more options than the PSE version of the raw converter. (If you still have PSE 8, you can see the difference by using File>Open in the editor to open a raw photo for the PSE version of ACR, which works the same way in PSE 9.) In PSE's raw converter, you use the Open button, then save your photo in an image format in the editor. The Save button in ACR in PSE is only the DNG converter.
    Layer styles should work exactly the same way as in PSE 8. However, in any version of PSE a drop shadow, like a real shadow, needs someplace to fall, so unless there is empty space on the layer, it won't appear. Try creating text or drawing and simplifying a shape and adding a drop shadow. Does it appear then?
    Also remember that Jpegs won't let you save either layers or transparency when you resave the file.

  • Applescript to add open images in Preview into iPhoto?

    I've got an eyefi card in my digital camera that sends my pics directly to a folder on my laptop in which a folder action runs that automatically opens the image in preview. What I'd like to do next is to close the images I don't want, and then run an applescript that will take the remaining open images in Preview and import them into iPhoto.
    I guess if I were to do it manually, I would drag the proxy icon of each window into iPhoto? But that would create several separate events in iPhoto since it would import them one at a time. It would be ideal if there was a way for Applescript to locate the open images in finder, and then import all of those images into iPhoto all at once. Is this possible? If so, any tips on how to get started with that? I'm a newb to Applescript, so be gentle.

    It sounds like you've been doing the search in the menubar Spotlight field. If so, here are two things to try:
    One, when you have located the image you think you want to open, hit Command-Return, which will open (in a new Finder window) the folder in which the image file is located, even if it is inside your iPhoto library. The default application for opening the image then should be Preview (it is for me).
    Two, select "Show All" at the top of the results, which opens a Finder search window. An image file in the resulting list, even if it is inside the iPhoto package, will open by default in Preview (That's what it does for me.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Hot key to open image from Camera Raw?

    Is there a key combination in Camera Raw v4.1 to open the image in Photoshop CS3 instead of having to use the mouse to click on the Open Image button?
    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

    Barry,
    You are under yet another misconception if you think I have been commenting on your workflow. I have not, and will not.
    From the beginning, I have been focusing on a single issue: what single-key stroke may affect the Open button in the ACR dialog box. The answer was (and remains) that there is no single-key stroke that will open the image in Photoshop if you're having Bridge host ACR. Command+O will open the image on the Mac, or Ctrl+O on Windows.
    Jeff then pointed out to you that the Enter key activates the Done button
    as long as Bridge is hosting ACR, and that the same Enter key activates the Open button
    if Photoshop is hosting ACR.
    The question of deciding whether Bridge or Photoshop is going to be hosting ACR is a separate question from using Bridge to open your images.
    Of course you can open your image through Bridge and
    still have Photoshop host ACR.
    Thus, your workflow has nothing to do with what I've been trying to convey to you.
    And I have no comment, criticism or suggestion in connection with your workflow.
    As Jeff has repeatedly explained to you, it makes more sense to have Bridge host ACR when you're only making global adjustments to your images, and to have Photoshop host ACR when you need to make localized adjustments, (e.g. selections) to your images or to print them.

  • Where did "Open Image Sequence" go?

    Running QT Player 10.0 -- where did the "Open Image Sequence" command go?

  • Wrong filename used when opening image in external editor

    When I select an image and choose Open in External Editor, the filename that is used for the opened image is the original filename given from the camera (DSC1234) and not the filename that I choose when importing (DATECUSTOMSEQ).
    Why is this? Is this is a bug?

    I don't want to export the file to Photoshop, because
    I want to keep the modified version in the project in
    Aperture, may be for a book later.
    Aperture says "open version in external editor", but
    it opens the version with the master file name.
    That's wrong!
    But if it goes back into Aperture under the proper version, does it matter? It seems to me it only matters if you plan to save out the file directly from Photoshop, or if you have many photoshop windows open and want to reply on the version name to keep them stright (whcih I could see).
    The reason Aperture uses the master name is because when you open a file for external editing you are actually creating a new master itself, and it's trying to make sure it is tied back to the real original master. All changes based on that externally edited version will treat the PSD or TIFF you edit externally as the new master (versions created against the old master) will still be based on the original master, not the new one...
    That is why I advocate trips to external editors as the last step in an Aperture workfow. Otherwise you can end up making a lot of new versions in a hurry.

  • Batch Processing only working on open image

    I am trying to run a Batch process on several folders of photos.  In order to use the Batch process I need to have an image open, so I open a random image and run the batch process.  I'm not using any custom made actions, only the defaults.  Instead of taking the photos in a given folder, running the batch process, and creating a new folder for these images, Photoshop keeps running the batch process on the open image.  Not sure what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Open image sequence in version 10.1??

    I have about 50 photos for a time lapse that I did.  Where is the "open image sequence" pull down menu under file?  Is it not in the version of 10.1?  Please advize.
    Thank you very much.

    Importing image sequences is a feature of the "Pro" version of QuickTime Player 7 ($30).
    Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion users can run two versions of QuickTime but only version 7 can be upgraded to Pro. You can download and install it from this link:

  • "The picture could not be opened because the original image could not be found."

    "The picture XXXXX.jpg could not be opened because the original image could not be found." - I've translated from Portuguese, so it's possible to contain errors on text but I think it is clear to understand.
    This error message has appeared on my screen for a thousand times, repeatedly. I've canceled everyone, but still appears,how this error has ocurred for every picture in my library.
    I gave up, I'm tired to cancel every window. I don't know what to do. And worst, I'm not able to open Settings or any other command, only "Cancel" or "Search Image", and it opens a Finder window that doesn't give me access to iPhoto Library.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • The photo "Image.jpg" could not be opened.

    Every time I launch iPhoto, I get this annoying error message: The photo “Image.jpg” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    I think I know what it means, that there is possibly a broken link between a photo and a pointer to that photo in the library? But I don't know how to go about fixing it. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2

    hedger,
    How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
