I'm trying add a watermark to approx. 8,000 images by batching the process. However, it only does about 400. The 2 errors that are logged are:
Could not complete your request because of a program error. (-1)
Could not complete the command because the selected area is empty. (-25570)

I am trying to setup a batch file. I am taking gif images with transparent backgrounds and wanting to convert. Need to flatten image, change mode to rgb and save to jpg. For some reason when I use the automate after recording, and I set source folder and destination folder, images sent to the destination are exactly the same as original, gif transparent? Nothing seems to be happening to the images?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm seeing a strange issue when I automate an action in Photoshop CC (14.0). I have a simple action that does three things in this order:
1. Flatten Image
2. Convert to 8-Bit
3. Add some standard file info
When I run the action from the action menu it works fine. However when I have multiple images open and I want to run them all through the action using "Automate->Batch", it gets run in this order:
2. Convert to 8-Bit
3. Add some standard file info
1. Flatten Image
The same process in CS6 does not have the issue.
I was wondering if on Photoshop 7, CS5 etc, is there a way to automate a batch feature directly on an image from right click of the mouse? Example, I have an image that I want to change the canvas from 200x300 pixel to 500x500. Currently I have to right click, change image size than the canvas size. Looking to see if there is a way with one click of the mouse to run my batch feature that does this function.

It get annoyoed because I have to sit in front of my PC and press enter to each file resized.

The program converts and send the jpegs to the Destination folder but it is also sending a copy of every jpeg to my DESKTOP. Nothing in my Destination folder shows the desktop as a destination. I set up a destination file on my e drive and it still sends the photos to the desktop.
I am using CS2 Photoshop.
When I first installed Photoshop and tried Automate to put watermarks on my photos, everything worked fine. I gave that a break for a few months and today was trying to watermark some new photos. Since then there has been a driver update for my AMD Radeon HD 7900 to the Catalyst 12.8 drivers. I have the latest Photoshop downloaded from the website.
Now when I try to use Automate and Batch, it starts then crashes abruptly. I've exhausted all efforts and have Googled for hours. I've tried uninstalling drivers to the 12.6 version of Catalyst, uninstalled Photoshop, reinstalled. Same problem. Under Performance, the Sniffer detects an error in the display driver. Some have suggested using software to sweep for old driver files. That's the only thing I haven't tried.

I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a PC with Windows XP pro, Core 2 Duo E4400@2GB, 4GB DDR2 RAM, MSI MS7350 Mainboard, ATI Radion X1050 Graphics card, 1 Analog LCD screen and one digital. I'm using an empty 1TB drive for a scratch disk.
My Photoshop CS5 runs flawlessly UNTIL I try to batch-process anything. If I go to File>Automate>Photomerge, no problem, but when I go to File>Automate>Batch, the second I hit Batch, I get an error message telling me that Windows has to shut down Photoshop. I never had this problem with CS4, which I never deleted and have to use when batching.
Photoshop SC5 Automate / Batch does not work at all, tells the program to close.The reason given, the program does not work properly, what's up??
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to a create a batch job and save the files with an extension ie:
picture1.jpg to picture1_s.jpg
I want to put an extension on the resised small images.
I can get the batch job to alter the dpi and sizes but I can't find a way to add a letter into the file name as above to differentiate the different sizes.
I would like to remove a very specific bold yellow from some images. I want to automate this by throwing this into photoshop's automate tool and running over hundreds and hundreds of images. I have no problem creating the macro, the problem is that my image doesn't contain this yellow color (some of them do not), the 'select' action doesn't work so any subsequent actions fail.
What I have tried:
* Select the color and fill with white. If the color doesn't exist, the entire image gets filled.
* Select the color and cut, then replace background layer with plain white -- If the color doesn't exist, get error that 'cut' action isn't available.
* Force a yellow stroke somewhere on the image to try and remove it later -- Can't record brush strokes with PS!!!
Are their 'conditional' actions? There must be a way to do this, but I can't bring up anything on the web.
I may just be missing something here. If I open an image in photoshop and crop it, the image shows up at the new cropped size and I can then save the new image. I have 1000 people images with all different sizes but the same ratio. My hope is to create an action that crops a photo to a standard size and then saves into another folder.
So I started my new action and did the crop and saved. Then I ran this action using automate and batch. The processing does happen but the images are cropped and then remain in a black box the size of the original photo. This is a problem for me... I only want to see the resized photo.
I need to place a semi-transparent logo onto about 300 images so people do not take my pictures right off the web and use it as their own. Instead of doing them one at a time, is there a batch method to crank these out? All the images are the same size and I have them in both PSD and Jpeg format.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to create a batch that will allow me to resize an image (I can do this part) and then put a watermark (watermark.psd) on top of it. I have followed several tutorials and tried the actions and know how to batch, etc...but when I try to put an image over it, it errors. I have just been starting the recording and then drag and dropping from watermark.psd to the file I'm working with. That causes an error.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI double click on <Set Layer style on current layer> and change to a new Layer Style for my Watermark Text. The <Contour> is Linear. The Actions panel turns red during editing.But when I run > Automate > Batch and select that edited Action, the <Layer Style> screen pops-up for each photo and the only way to finish the batch of photos is to click <OK> for each photo. I’m using Photoshop CS5. I have refresh Photoshop, restart my laptop but the problem remains.
I did another copy of the original Action and just changed the value in <Text Layer> and it works in the Batch processing. This problem only happens when I changed the value in the <Layer Style>.
I've shot 4 series of Pianno recitals, which amounts to about 160 final photos. These photos will be going to a website from where clients can order prints at various sizes. Most of the clients will be ordering 5x7, but there could be some that are bigger (8x10, 8.5x11,etc). All photos will need to be uploaded to this site at their maximum resolution to accomodate the largest prints - it does not support a feature to upload the same photo in multiple sizes for different print options. All photos will need to have my custom watermark/logo with my signature and the event name and date - this would be just a simple text with shadow in the bottom right corner of the photo.
In the past, I only needed to support 5x7 prints which made my job easy. I simply cropped all photos to 5x7 ratio and resized to 300DPI, I ended up with 2100x1500 pixels. I then created a layer with the logo and used the batch tool to automate the addition of the logo layer to each photo. The position and size of the logo layer always ended up in the exact same spot, since all photos were exactly the same size.
For my new assignment, I will need to leave the photos at their original maximum resolution to support large prints. I'm strugling now trying to figure out how to automate the addition of my watermark/logo layer so that it appears in the same position and size on all photos. Is there any way how I can automatically resize the logo layer to match each photo's size. That way if I have an image that was heavily cropped to isolate the subject into lets say 1400x1000pixels and another that is lets say 2800x2000 pixels, my logo would proportionally scale up or down to maintain its relative size and position to the background image.
I would like to watermark a logo on a batch folder of photos, but the photos are different heights (but same width). If I use text in Photoshop it's not a problem, but if I use my logo the Action places it in different positions depending on the height of the photo.
What I am looking for is a way to have the logo placed in a relative position to the bottom right corner of the photo. Say, 25px from the bottom and 0px from the right. I am unsure of how to achieve this relative placement.
I am having issues batch plotting in LT 2010.
I am using Windows Vista.
I go to the batch plot. Load the drawings I want to plot. I then load the page setup I want to use. None of the files plot. The error says that the device doesn't support the output size.
The weird thing is that I can plot using those same page setups individual files, just not as a batch.
I recently did a concert and I would like to know how to add my watermark to several photos at once rather that creating the watermark for every sigle photo every time.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI know how to batch process images to place a logo or watermark on an image. Normally the image is different every time and the exact same logo is placed on all the images.
In this case the image is exactly the same every time but i need it saved in a folder 100 times each with a different logo. So essentially a reverse of the normal process. Same image different logo's.
I am using version X4, which I am new to, having bought it just a week ago.
I have approximately 70 jpg images I'd like to add borders to. All of the images will have the same color and thickness.
Is it possible to create some sort of batch process that automatically adds borders to all 70 images? Right now, I've been adding borders one-by-one to the images. It got tedious after the first dozen.
If there is a way to automate the procedure? If so, what must I do? If it's possible, will all 70 images be re-saved automatically, as well?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased Lightroom 4 and I am having issues adding a watermark to my JPEG images!
I'm using a very basic Ariel Black text, medium size and very clear. The watermark appears fine in the photo preview but does not show up when exported to my Lightroom library file! If I export to a TIFF image it's fine but just not in JPEG.
I have a 30 second .avi file, frame size 1440 x 1080 15 frames/sec Video compression Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder, 24 bits, total 450 frames Audio compression PCM 32.000 kHz, 16 bit Mono 960,000 samples.
I can play the video OK in vlc and when I insert the video into the timeline of VS X3 and play the inserted .avi.
As soon as I insert:
1. a .jpg at the start of the timeline with text and/or,
2. text (as a watermark) on bottom left hand side for the 30 second duration
whenever I play back (in VS X3 preview) this clip, the movie plays (but with a frozen first frame from the .avi) with only the audio with the text.
I have been using VS X2 successfully on my Windows 7 64-bit PC.I had purchased X3 sometime ago and decided to install my X3 version.
how to add watermark to images from command line.

Anytime I try to export a file and add a watermark, Lightroom crashes. I can export without adding a watermark just fine. Lightroom also crashes when I try to edit a current watermark - as soon as I click the drop down menu to choose which watermark to edit, down goes Lightroom. I have both text watermarks and a small jpeg as a watermark (same thing happens with both) and I am running Lightroom 4.3.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis should be simple but I cannot figure it out. I am trying to process large batches of photos with varying pixel counts, but they will all be printed at the same size in inches. I want a constant height text watermark on all of them, but since Photoshop only allows you to specify text height in "pixels," my watermarks end up at different relative sizes on each picture.
For simplicity, just consider 2 different pictures. One is 1700x2200 and the other is 2125x2750. I want to print each one at 8.5x11 with a 1/2" high watermark, via the same batch operation. Whatever pixel height I specify for the text in my watermark, it will be a different size in inches on each photo.
Is there any way to do this WITHOUT re-sampling the files as part of my batch operation? I don't like re-sampling when it's not necessary.
