Maya :: Batch Render In Software Mode Keeps Resizing?
May 4, 2011
Maya keeps resizing the height of an animation during a software batch render to 180px. Rendering a single scene, the size is as specified in the settings.
I've got an animation I need to render. I'm trying to render at 640x480. I can render single scenes or the entire batch in Hardware mode and it renders at 640x480 no problem. I can render a single scene in software mode and it renders at 640x480. If I try to batch render the animation in software mode, Maya resizes the height to 180. If I reset the size of the render to 1024x748 Maya once again resizes the height to 180.

Situation: Rendering a sequence of frames with different image dimensions (photos of 3D scene for printing, different image dimensions needed for different purposes). Changing image width/height in pre-render frame MEL script. Therefore, need to know what frame we are on.
Unfortunately, mental ray batch render returns frame number (currentTime) of PREVIOUS frame when called during pre-render frame script. I have to add 1 to get the frame that is about to render, to determine needed image dimensions.
This is different than rendering current frame within Maya to preview what will happen -- currentTime is already on the correct frame.
So, in my frame mel script, I need to know whether in batch mode or not, to know whether to add 1 to time.
How do so?
I searched docs and googled. All I found is a mention "Implementors of render traversals may wish to check whether they are running in batch mode", that did not say how to do so. And a mention in 2006 of "about -batch" that supposedly gives documentation that mentions how to do so. But the about command must be obsolete.

Each time I want to have batch render with 4 camera views. I thought it would provide me with elements along with it. But it just brings me only one file as I set .png.
I know it works with State Set by changing camera view. But Batch render should work too.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion Photoshop CS4 won't allow batching several images to certain folders on our servers.
Photoshop message reads;
The destination is not writable (read-only).

This has been "bugging" me for a while.
1) Open a raw file (.CR2)
2) output the file to JPG or open directly
===> i.e. the resulting image is 3888 x 2592
3) use Automate > Fit Image
===> i.e. 1200 pixels (reducing the image by a factor of 3.24)
======> The result should be 1200 x 800 pixels
However the batch conversion would be result in 1200 x 801 pixel.
Even if I were to add a step 2.5 as follows
2.5) image > image size > 1200 x 800
After automate > Fit Image (1200) it would still result in 1200 x 801 pixels!
What's broken with photoshop?
The only fix I've stumbled across so far would be to use an external programme to strip all the exif and attached metadata, only then would the "Fit Image" script work.
Having one extra pixel doesn't really matter most of the times, but it's does get on my nerves.
Advice sought: How can I fix this?

There are seems to be a lot of ways to resize many pictures at once. However, I need to resize one picture into about 100 different sizes, then do the same thing to about 10 other pictures.

I'm looking for a way to resize a large number of images, but not to a specific size. Because of the vertical and horizontal orientation of my various photos, I want to be able to decrease the size of photos I won't be printing by a given percentage.

Is there a way to Batch-Resize photos?
I have 160+ photos of different sizes (but mostly 1600 x 1200). I'm running them in a loop for my screensaver. I transferred them to my cellphone, to be used as wallpaper, but they're too big to fit the screen. I can only see a portion of the image. So I'd like to reduce the size for them all, without having to do each one individually (and tediously).

I will try and describe my situation regarding the manipulation of images that have various dimensions, and to downsize and down sample to a particular uniform size for all. After I can create this so called action, I will then use it to process thousands of images through batch processing.
Scenario:
- [Origin] Folder Containing Hi-Res CMYK camera-ready .tiff photos
- [Destination] Folder containing low-res RGB web .jpg photos
- [New File Preset] 350px wide x 375px tall; RGB; Adobe 1998; White background; 8bit
The current process that I use to get my camera ready files to web pics, is through an action that I have set up.
These steps play in my action (including new file preset, specs above):
-1. Hi-res file contains only 1 layer which contains a mask to cut the image from it's background;
-2. Selection is made from layer mask
-3. Layer is set to active retaining mask selection
-4. copy (image contained within selection is copied)
-5. paste into new file (preset above [New File preset])
From this point I manually size the photo to fit within the new file size preset by transforming the pasted layer and dragging (downsize) by the handles. After this I simply save file as a .jpg
This action is just fine for single files but will not work for batch processing because 99 percent of my hi-res files are much larger than 350x375 which will leave them pasted at actual size and cut off.
My first solution was to include a step in the action that would resize the image down to the size needed. The problem that I am now faced with is that when you include the transform command in an action, it just records the 'percent' value which has varying results.
To sum it up, I would like to batch process many images at once with an action that will take my destination images and manipulate them and store them in my target low-res folder. The final dimensions will be 350px wide x 375px tall which is rectangular. My files vary in size and proportion; some being tall rectangular, wide rectangular, and square. The initial dpi is 300 but when finished it will need to be 72.
I have experimented using the 'image resize' command but not getting a result that will work with all proportions of images.

there were a simple batch process for resizing ... primarily for resizing width. This would be good for quickly creating thumbnails from larger images.

how you would batch resize a ton of photos to 50 % of its original size.The workflow I've had before is going trough image processor and doing the resizing when I'm converting to .jpeg. The only problem with image processor is that the resizing doesn't seem to be smart enough to differenciate horizontal with vertical.
So say I choose a specific resolution of 2880 x 1920p all my horizontal pictures are great, but the vertical ones turn out at 1280 x 1920p.
So how do I batch resize in a way that photoshop would know to turn horizontal pictures to 2880 x 1920p and vertical ones to 1920 x 2880p?

I frequently use a script to resize .jpgs from 3600x3600 to 1000x1000 dpi to save space on my hard drive. After resizing 300+ .jpgs last night, I found that they all retained their original file size. An image that started out as 3600x3600 dpi with a file size such as 3.5mb that was resized to 1000x1000 dpi using the script in X4 still had a file size of 3.5mb when it should have been considerably smaller than 1mb. I relaunched the application and rebooted my computer but no change. To fix the problem I had to run the .jpgs thru the batch process again using the same script but in X3.
The script I was using was created in X3 so I tried creating an identical script in X4. Regardless of which script I used in the X4 batch process, the same thing happened.
This problem seems to be unique to the script and/or batch process. I can open a .jpg file in X4, resize it from 3600x3600 to 1000x1000 dpi, save the changes, and the file size changes accordingly.

I am using Photoshop CS3 Extended
I am familiar with batch jobs in Photoshop.
I have images that vary in pixel size and resolution.
This project is for an online gift registry. First, we are hosting the images, but they have restraints due their web/system programming. So what I was told by the company was they need the images to be 300 x 300 pixel images at 72dpi. They said they would settle for 300 width only and let me scale the proportions and not worry about the height as I want to batch the process. But they stressed 300 width and 72dpi.
What I have tried is batch resizing all of them to 300 pixel width, worked fine. Then I batched changing the resolution to 72. But it changed all the pixel dimensions to various sizes. So then I tried to batch 300 pixel width and 72 resolution at one time at it ends up the same way. So what do I need to do to get 300 x 300 pixel and 72dpi?
1)I have read plenty of PPI vs DPI. Is "resolution" in Photoshop, PPI?
2)Was what they probably meant by 72dpi actually 72ppi?
3)How do I accomplish this?

I have about 1000 images that need to all be resized to 5MB. All the images are in different color modes, have different resolutions and pixel sizes. Is there any way to make an action to resize image to 5MB? I don't care about pixel dimentions or resolutions, I just need all the images to be 5MB.

Every time i use batch render it loses the connection between the materials and objects, the materials are still in the editor and on the objects, only they are not the same. It's driving me CRAZY, because i forget/don't notice it and correct the material, render, but there's no difference, i correct something else, render, it's still not fixed, change again, render, not fixed, fix, render... Until i realize i'm correcting a material, that's not connected to the object. Vray and SolidRocks Is it a bug, setting or just my computer?

If I have multiple project files (.VSP) with different properties, can I batch process the individual files to their own respectful files? That is, if A.vsp is a HD edited video file, B.vsp is a SD file, C.vsp is a SD with different bit rate and screen ratio, etc, can I batch render all the files while they keep their respective properties (Same As First Video Clip)?

I'm making some icons with different styles to them, via the actions, so just before I apply my changes to all the icons via batch mode, I`d like to have one saved as PSD, just in case a customer would like a variation in it, but how do I save it without saving them all as PSD`s, I`d like to save them as PNG`s.

I posted this in the Mac forum but received no responses after a couple of days, so I am trying it here. Photoshop CS3 Actions seem to have a bug such that when used in Automate > Batch mode it will use the name of the first file opened in the batch session for every file processed in that session. Since that name is used in Save step, this means having to deal with the "File Already Exist" dialog for every file in the batch because it is attempting to save at the designated location with the same file name. If the continue option is chosen each time, the final result is one file with the first opened file name, but with the contents of the last processed file. To confirm that this is a problem particular to the opening step, I have disabled all processing steps as well as the saving step by toggling them in the Actions panel. I then ran the action in batch mode on a folder containing 4 files. This resulted in 4 opened files all with the same name but different image content. This was with the "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked/not checked, and the "Suppress File Open Options Dialogs" checked/not checked. The problem described also occurs when using a Droplet. By comparison, Photoshop CS exhibits the expected behavior: when an action is used in batch mode to process an entire folder of files, the name of each file is retained after opening and used after processing in the save or export step. The above described behavior of CS3 is a change acquired along the way to the CS3 version (I do not have the CS2 version to test). But more importantly, can someone please report if the CS4 version behaves as I described for CS3, or if it has been returned to the CS behavior? OS X 10.4.11G4 800 MHz 2 MB L3/processor 1.25 GB SDRAM Is this a known bug?

I am wanting to make a batch file that automates the task of scanning in photos.
Here is what I currently do: I scan in one or two pictures into the same file. I then open the scanned in image in GIMP, and then use the Divide Scanned Images plugin in combination with the Deskew plugin to create an output of two seperate image files.
This is quite a tedious task, especially with the 1000+ stack of photos that I have.
I already have a script that automates the process of scanning in the image for me, but I really need a script that opens GIMP, and runs the Divide Scanned Images plugin, preferably without the GIMP user-interface.

Whenever I open my file or another file, it loads in Realistic render mode.
In addition whenever I switch to wireframe mode and press F3, sometimes it reverts back to Realistic render mode.
I want my viewport to render in Shaded mode in opening files and general default. How would I do it ?

I created some render layers by copying the master layer and some of them seem to be connected to the master layer in some way and I cannot delete them!
When I select the render layer they are grey and the master layer is also selected and is blue. I cannot delete the copied layer even if I empty it.
I have created other layers the exact same way but when I select them they are not attached to the master layer and are blue when I select them and I can delete them.
What do I have to do to delete the layers that seem to be connected to the master layer? This is really annoying! I try to do one thing and end up spending the entire day trying to delete rogue render layers! The only work around I found is to select everything in the scene and export it and then import it into a new scene.

I'm trying to render some passes in Maya 2013 and Mental Ray using proxy assemblies. The trouble is that none of the passes that do some kind of material definition override ie AO, camera depth work correctly with proxies. I have read a few posts where people have said that these passes need to be applied in the render globals when exporting the proxy file. This method works correctly in Maya 2009 and fixes the issues, unfortuently this method does not work in Maya 2013.
