Lightroom :: Execute PS Droplet After Exporting Set Of Images

May 28, 2009

I have been trying to get Lightroom to execute a PS droplet after exporting a set of images. The droplet runs a set of actions which performs certain sharpening and NR steps. What I've been noticing is that if the number of images is too high, the droplet execution fails. Apparently, if the number of images is past 40-50, multiple droplet commands are passed to PS simultaneously and causes PS to fail. PS cannot execute actions simultaneously on multiple images at the same time. The error returned is "Could not complete the Play command because the action is already playing".
 
Here is what I've discovered by experimenting with droplets on the command line without LR initiating them:
 
There is an inherent limitation in the number of characters that can be pass to a command in the Windows OS. That limitation is right around 2048 characters. For example, if I want to pass 30 images to a droplet for execution, the command would look like:
 
mydroplet.exe c:/path/image1.jpg c:/path/image2.jpg c:/path/image3.jpg...etc
 
If the total number of characters in this command is more that 2048, the droplet crashes because you have exceeded the string limit of characters for Windows. If your source directory path is long enough like, C:UsersMynameDocumentsMy PicturesTalent Show 2008, each image can use up 50 or more characters within that command. You exceed the limit with just 40 images. My suspicion is that if you export more than this limit, LR breaks up the export into a series of droplet executions by executing multiple droplet commands. I confirmed this because as I increased the number of images exported out of LR, or placed them deep in the directory hierarchy, I can see more and more droplet commands being executed in Task Manager simultaneously. As soon as I pass 40 images, 2 droplets start running, and PS fails due to the error I previously mentioned.
 
What I don't know is why LR executes them simultaneously? Why not in series so that they will not "clog" up PS?

Lightroom :: Failed To Export Images With Droplet

Jun 6, 2013

I've Created a droplet and tested it successfully in Photoshop, then I use this droplet by select it in Post-Processing when I export DNG to TIFF in Lightroom, but there's a problem:
 
1. If PS is not opened when I'm exporting images in LR, the droplet will work well, i'll get an processed TIFF

2. If PS is opened before  I'm exporting images in LR, the droplet won't work, then I get an unprocessed TIFF
 
Due to Situation 1, if PS is not opened when I'm exporting images and I tried to exported 30 images with droplet, finally I'll get only ONE image successfully processed, because PS was opened when LR export the  first image.

Photoshop :: Batch / Droplet Processing Images Into Separate Folders

Jul 2, 2012

I've recently finished a catalog with 700+ images and I'd like to create an index for future use.
 
I would like to have an action which allows me to save a general purpose size image for e-mailing to customers as well as a thumbnail size image for photo invoices. This I could do normally by making two seperate actions for the two, but there is an issue with the categories of image types.
 
Within the catalog the images are of products, and thus are related to a brand. I would like to index the images into a brand based folder, and then into seperate folders for thumbnails and general use.
 
So essentially, the workflow would be something along the lines of
 
Create New Folder for Brand/ Category
Open Image
Resize for General Use
Save Image As... in Brand > General Use
Resize for Thumbnail
Save Image As... in Brand > Thumbnails
Close
 
Repeat for all images in category.
 
Create New Folder for new Brand Category
Open Image
.... Etc etc.
 
Also, is there a way to select a resizing of an image by it's longest/ shortest edge within an action/ droplet? I know Image Processor has this capability but it seems strange there is no ability within an action.

Lightroom :: Exporting RAW Images From 5?

Jul 7, 2013

My continuing story of space issues. Find that I'm rapidly running out of space now that my wife has been uploading way too many 24 mpixel files (~30Gb total) to my Lightroom 5 catalog. Is there any way to export her RAW files to a thumb drive or another external hard drive?  The only export functions I see are conversions to Jpegs.

Lightroom :: 5.0 Is Not Exporting Images Properly

Sep 1, 2013

Recently I upgraded to Lightroom 5.0. I have been noticing that when I export images at 1000px max and 100% quality, the image is very grainy. I can open that same image in Photoshop CC from Lightroom, resize the image to 1000px max, and save, and the image looks great.The first photo is the Lightroom 5.0 export. The second is the Photoshop CC resize and save. never had this issue with any earlier version of Lightroom and I have been using it since version 1.0.

Lightroom :: Rename Images While Exporting?

Jan 1, 2013

n Lightroom, I want to rename my images, based upon the image name and its mapping in a CSV file. Ideally, I would want something like this:
 
When the user after editing goes to Export under File menu. Inside the File Naming panel above, one should be able to input the CSV file containing the mapping. Hence once exported, the new Images will be named consistently with what I need rather than the default ones provided by LightRoom.Using the plugin LRTransporter one can do it while Importing images (storing the new name under Caption and then renaming all using Batch Rename). But it is tedious. What I need to know is that, can we build such plugin which can do it? If yes I would move ahead with constructing it.

Lightroom :: 4.1 - Images Not Exporting To A Folder

Sep 16, 2012

I am exporting images from a folder in LR4.1 to another folder in LR while changing the name, and changing to a JPG.  I have done this to 95 other images, placing them into multiple folders with multiple subfolders with no problems.  Now I have created another subfolder and have tried exporting 8 images into this folder but LR doesn't show them.  LR shows the folderd with the name greyed out and a file count of 0.  I go to the hard drive and find all 8 images in the same (greyed out LR folder) location.   Why is LR unable to see these files?

I have exported other files to other folders but when I go back to trying to export to this problem folder it doesn't work.

Lightroom :: Exporting Images From Directly To IPad

Jan 23, 2013

I've been able to copy images in an indirect way (LR to an earmarked folder on my PC's hard drive, then to the iPad using Apple's I-Tunes).  But editing and arranging images is fairly awkward.
 
There are LR functions to upload to some web sites, e.g., Flicker, but none to devices like the iPad.  (Exporting to smaller sites such as Nikonians would be nice but I suspect there's not enough demand for Adobe to bother with this embellishment.
 
Is it likely that export functions will be expanded to include the iPad and other devices?

Lightroom :: Exporting Images To An FTP Server Via The FTP Plugin

I'm exporting images to an FTP server, via the FTP plugin, and it's moving kind of slow. I'm on an extremely fast line, 10mbps up. When I use an FTP client and drop the images in the directory, it screams fast.
 
Why is the LR method so slow?

Lightroom :: Limited Function When Exporting Images?

Dec 9, 2012

I'm using Windows Vista and my client is using a new Mac. We are both using Lr 4 along with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Elements 11.
 
When we export images to CS and PSE copies are created in the Lr filmstrip as expected and CS6 and PSE open as they should. Unfortunately, the images do not open in these programs as they should. We have to manually retreave them from the folder. What would be preventing the images from opening. It happens when we choose Export and Edit In...., but does not happen on my daughters computer which is operating with Windows 7.

Lightroom :: Exporting Images Unmatched Color Schemes On Different Previews?

May 21, 2013

After I've exported through LR 3 I am getting different tone qualities only with two different image viewing windows. The picture attached shows the example of the image on the left opened with Windows Photo Viewer is brighter red tie and bluer suit while the one on the right is opened with Microsoft Photo Editor is more darker red and purple suit. The one on the left is the correct image.

This is also happening when the photo is sent through an inventory management system we have. I am exporting with 600 x 1200 jpeg resize 72 dpi at sRGB, 100 quality, and jPeg mode in File settings.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Low Res Images When Exporting To PDF?

Nov 23, 2011

I seem to be having a problem upon exporting the file to a PDF, which is very image heavy.  All of the images in the file are at least 300 DPI if not much, much larger.  However, when I export to PDF the image resolutions are very low.  When I sent it to the printer (who does not accept CorelDraw files so it has to be PDF) they remarked upon the low resolution and you can tell the quality is terrible on the proof.  When I print a copy of the brochure on just our color printer at work (same size as the brochure...it is not larger) the images are completely fine.  What am I doing incorrectly?

Photoshop :: Exporting Images

Jan 30, 2003

I would make any sort of graphic, then save the file to my computer, and the color would be very, very much "off". The color would often times show as lighter, and it's totally not the same color as it were inside the PS workspace. I'll show an example between the photo "before & after". This is happening whether or not I use "save for web" or the save as feature, and whether I save it as a JPG, GIF, PNG, etc.

I took a screen shot of my desktop while I was in PS, and cropped just that section in Fireworks to make the buttonFWG.

Photoshop :: Slicing Web Images And Exporting Them

Aug 24, 2006

slicing web images (navs, UIs, ect.) and exporting them to HTML files.

I know when you create slices in ImageReady and Save Optimized As..., they are exported in HTML and are put together with tables. Now, my question is:

Is there any way to export them as HTML, but then have them pieced together with "tableless", CSS design? For example, instead of aligning everything up by way of using tables, is there a way to align everything by way of using CSS?
