I have created a script to convert in a batch, about 2000 images, the problem is that gimp-file-save ignores image settings and uses its own defaults, so the image that has 6 layers, after being scaled, has only one layer!
as you can see, this is a generic script, I would like to avoid using the specific dds load/save because of increased complexity and for being specific to dds...
is it possible to set some format based on the original file? I could use the dds file save, parsing output from "identify -verbose filename" (imagemagick), but that will be a lot of trouble...
I have over 200 pdf files that I need to batch convert to tiff format. From what I've gathered, this can be done simply using Ghostscript. Unfortunately, I have no experience running GS as a command line program, and only installed it as part of Gimp. Any tool for gimp that could do this? or step by step, through the process of using GS to perform this task?
I have done LOTS of detailed research into ppi, dpi etc.
I believe I do understand the difference. Whenever I open a picture in gimp it opens at 72ppi. I wish to scale all my photos to 300 ppi so i can use a template I made of the exact same size paper as my printer uses without having to worry about the printer rescaling my photos from 72 ppi to whatever dpi it needs.
I have converted lots manually and am assured that this works for my purposes (not professional just scrapbook and photo album prints)
I have two questions though; 1. Is there a freeware program, or a way through gimp, that I can batch convert multiple files up to 300ppi. 2. Why when I change the ppi of a photo does the filesize become larger? Surely the ppi is just a reference number to know how many pixels to display and to convert for printing?
I have 100's of flat images that I have to chop up into 3 parts and save as individual pieces to then load into a separate piece of software.
My problem is that when I start the batch, the 3 new images it creates for each image are simply overwriting each other when saving.
The options for serial numbers etc in the destination field of batch seems to only work for the original file opened, not the 3 new images the action creates/saves.
I often create animations for technology companies, and they give me models that were created in programs like alias, rhino, AutoCAD, or solid works. They export for me in IGES, or STEP, and the models, while amazingly intricate, are too much for Maya on my 24GB RAM 12-core machine to take. They take upwards of 20 minutes just to open.
I want to convert these to ploys and generally make them easier to work with. What are my options for making these manageable, and still look good when they render. The flat edges and services are fairly easy to convert, it's the rounded bevels that don't look so good if I convert everything to Polys all at once. And there are usually hundreds of curved surfaces to convert, so doing them one at a time is far too cumbersome to be effective.
Also, how would I go about taking surfaces for objects in joining them together to create a complete object made of Polys? For example, a small part may be made of 35 difference parametric surfaces in solid works, and exports as that in IGES, so when I imported into Maya, it really should be just one object made of Polys.
need to convert parametric cad objects to poly to make them manageable and to make renders faster.
I am having trouble converting .psd files to .jp2s. When I make the action, in the "save as" box I have to first pick the JPEG 2000 format, then manually change the extension from .jpf to .jp2. The problem is that when I set everything up, the files save with the extension .jpf, because that is the default extension for JPEG 2000, and my manual change is ignored in the replaying of the action.
I am trying to batch convert jpg to png and do some minor modification to the image before saving as png and i can do that but when it saves the png it renames the jpg to 0.png how can i change that.
I know you can batch rename in CS2 but what if you just want to change from jpg to tif? I tried it on some test images and thank goodness I did a test first at it didn't work and I couldn't get the images back.
I am using VS Pro X2. There is a problem with batch conversion. When I export the videos individually using "share", I get a good quality output, but when I export the same video using "batch convert", the quality degrades, for example the title gets blurry. I am using the exact same output setting in both situations:
We have to submit a set of 18 drawings to a local municipality. They want the CAD files (in this case Civil3D 2011) in .DXF format. Is there an easy way to convert them all at once or do I have to SAVEAS each file one at a time?
Any way to convert multiple fields to text? I've got a bunch of m-text objects, and they each have a field that references a polyline. (example: field=elevation of pline). I like to convert the fields to text when I need to send the file to someone, so that they can't inadvertently change the values. For now, I use the right click menu in the text editor for convert field to text, but I'd like to be able to change multiples at once. CAD 2008.
I have a file that was created in the online trial version of Corel Draw. How can I open it in my full version of X5? I'm getting an "invalid format" error message.
I use PS CS5 and LR4 on my Mac. I also have the prior versions of both on the Mac, too. I run the SL OS.
Here's my question: I have about 500 images in .PCD and I want to batch convert them to .TIFF format. Is there a plug-in I can use or should I go to a third party app?
I recently tried to convert a 76 minute movie in mpeg 4 to mpeg 2 using the batch convert function. I first went into options and set the bit rate to 6100 kbps and the audio to Dolby 2 ch. stereo, with the bit rate set to constant. After the conversion had taken place, I found the results were excellent, except that only 38 minutes were converted. I tried it again, but still only 38 minutes and then it it finishes. Why won't it convert the full 76 minutes? The destination folder is on my "D" drive which is 1 TB, so there is lots of room.
I've received quite a few DWG files and I would like to batch convert them into PDFs so I can share them with the sales staff. Also, DRAW deals with PDFs much better than DWG and the added feature that the PDFs will have all outlines converted to black.
My workflow now is to open each DWG in DWG True view and plot it to PDF using there built-in engine. It works but I have to convert all outlines to black inside DRAW plus I have to do each file one at a time. I've downloaded a trial version of deskDOC DWG to PDF with less than stellar results .
My work needs to convert thousands of DGN files to DWG. We are using AutoCAD 2012. Is it possible to batch convert dgn files with a LISP and a mapping file?
I have a TON of JPEG pics that are currently in Progressive format but I am using them with an app that requires that they be non-progressive. So I am looking to convert them to a Baseline format. In Photoshop, this conversion is done through the Save As dialog. However, I dont know of a way to create an action to do this without saving the file name in it. I want to keep all the pics the same file name that they are currently (..there are a ton of them already indexed in an XML feed so..).
Some years ago purchased CorelGallery 1,300,000. The vector clipart came in a .CCX format.
However, the Gallery browser no longer loads into my Service Packed Windows XP. Also XP and Vista cannot display .CCX thumbnails in their respective Explorers.
Today I discovered if I change the file type from .CCX to .CMX. the thumnail displays.
My challenge is how to covert about 500,000 files from one to the other en masse.
My question is, does Videostudio X5 have the capabilities to either:
A) Batch convert while using one or more of the FX B) Export multiple clips in one go from the timeline?
I have 120+ short video clips that I need to crop to a different size. I've figured out how to crop them to the size I need by using the "Croping" function in the FX. There seems to be no way however to apply this to all the clips at once in the Batch Convert.
The only way I can do it is to import all of the individual clips to the timeline and then export them individually...one at a time....taking a lot of my time. I notice they all retain their same file names in the timeline. Isn't there a way I can select all of them at once and export them with their individual file names all in one go (with any FX I've added)?
