Photoshop :: Automating And Saving Files
Aug 29, 2007
I'm an intermediate PS user with v. CS2. I've figured out how to automate the process of changing an images file size and adding an extension to the file name but I haven't been able to figure out how to save those files using the automation process.
If I try to include the save process during my action, it will always save with that file name no matter what file it's saving.
how do I add a "save file" step to my action so I can automate this process with many images?

I have over 600 images of trees. What I need to do is figure out the dimensions of each tree's crown (not the trunk, so select all the foliage and record the dimensions. Is there a way to automate the process so that I don't have to manually mask it or select it for each of the 600+ files or is it something I have to do manually?

I had my automatic save set up for every 10 minutes but files were not being saved regularly. I deleted files from the Temp folder thinking it was full and now there are no .sv$ saving at all. How can I make drawings save automatically every 10 minutes?

I am using Photoshop CS and have been assigned a rather tedious task at the office, consisting of resizing hundreds of pictures. Rather than doing them all manually, I've tried to automate the batch using a set of actions I "recorded", but for some reason all the pictures keep getting saved as the same one under a different name.
The set of actions I recorded were as follows:
-Open -> Open image file
-Image Size -> Width: xx pixels, height: yy pixels
-Save
-Close
When choosing automated batch, I choose the source folder and destination folder in an attempt to not get into a mess of naming/renaming files,

I have a plug-in that does a kinda overall correction and need to do it in batches. The problem is, when I go to make the action, I have to have an image open to open the plug-in. That's OK, but whenever I've done that, then go to Automate>Batch and select input and output folders, it uses the same image over and over.

i'm trying to automate a few functions,
what i would like to do is to export each window, to separate files, with the white parts cropped. i can do it manually by using the magic wand on the white area in between, then inversing the selection. that way all the windows are selected perfectly. but to save each one as a separate file is a nuisance.
by the way the purpose of this task is to get a comic i have scanned to an ipod for viewing. i can do the cropping/resizing afterwards no troubles, it's just getting the individual 'windows' as separate files.

Is it possible in CS2 or 3 to automate/batch a picture package action to a folder where the resulting P.P. files can be saved and closed?

how can you automate the process so that photoshop always moves the layer to a certain coordiante i.e. to point X:1424 Y:2370 and not move them relatively i.e X: -372 Y: +124 but always places them to that same certain point.

Deleting files and saving files brings up an error message. Files can't be deleted from lightroom which makes editing a nightmare. Also Saving Files (raw of jpeg), brings up an error message everytime.

I am new to photoshop and I am having a problem saving my layers in PSD Photoshop cs5.5. I created 4 layers.The problem is that after saving it as a PSD file and during the save process the layers box is checked, it wont open with all layers. So if I close the original that has all 4 layers and then reoping it after its saved, its not the same. The picture looks proper and all layers are in the picture, but on the side properties panel it looks like this..

When trying to save a .psd file today after working on an image I got a message saying - Could not save as "_IJD3271.psd" because of disk error. What might be causing this to appear and even better how to remedy it. This has just started today as I was working recently on images and saving them without any problems whatsoever.

I just got cs6. Am finding that when I save PSD files as pdf they lose some elements, and type turns white, some of it with faint outlines.

I just installed CS6 on a new computer, i7 and plenty of everything. Also has windows 8, yuck. On my previous computer running a different ps but the same Lr version, I had no issues. But saving images is a nightmare. I shoot in raw, so my files are large. From within Lr, to bring a photo in tiff format over to ps, edit, save, it will take minutes PER photo. Yet bringing the same raw image into ps via bridge, it saves fine...still a bit slow, but not even close to the lag. Same issue whether it is psd or tiff.
There is no software on my computer other than cs6 and lr4.2, no antivirus, nothing except the other garbage that comes with win 8. I think that because I can't find anything on this issue, it must be due to win 8 as the OS and it is causing a disconnect between Lr and ps.

When i go to save as and try saving it as GIF, I get a new window saying "Indexed color" and the image's colors go a little crazy...
I've added a picture to show what i mean.
For now I just open the PSD files in ACDsee and save it as GIF from there, but i would like to know the way to save GIFs directly from PS.

I have been looking at posts on automating pdf creation but have seen a lot with programming / VB involved but would like to avoid that if possible. I have also seen one's on batch processing but would like to do them as needed / completed.
I am trying to somewhat automate the pdf creation process. Having them save to a specific spot / folder and having them 'plot' the same view to the pdf would be very beneficial that way we don't have to select print, print to pdf, print this view with these details, save to this folder location. etc.

A way to print DWF files using a batch file or with a command line. We use Vault and publish all our DWF's to an external shared network folder. This is a standard feature in Vault but we now would like to reference and print those files from Baan ERP using a script. Is it possible to do this using Design Review?

I work for a company who's trying to automate the production of their mechanical and electrical cad drawings. We eventually want to integrate this into our website, so that a customer can select a few options, and a detailed drawing is generated based on what they pick.
To begin with, I'm trying to integrate AutoCAD with MS Excel. I've managed to automate in excel the options a customer can choose from. Now, the tricky part is, how can I transmit information to AutoCAD to perhaps pick blocks and strategically place them in specific locations of the drawing.
For example, if I have the option of Cats, Dogs, Elephants and Monkeys, and I have the option of quantities... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and I pick 3 Monkeys and 2 Cats, I want CAD to be able to place 3 monkeys and 2 cats side by side in a row.

Gimp 2.8.6, Windows 7
I have installed the auto_rotate.scm plugin. Now I need to automate a few of the procedures I regularly use it for. After I have selected the Path Tool and marked the two endpoints for the path, I use the following procedure (which is the procedure that needs to be automated):
Select: Windows/Dockable Dialogue/Paths
Right click in the Paths dialogue box
Select: ToolsRotate by PathLanczosOK
Close the Paths dialogue box
I use this procedure a lot and I could really use for it to be automated. If possible, I'd like the activation to be as simple as pressing a hotkey.

I have spent considerable time trying to "save as" some of my high-res TIFFs into other folders as TIFFS, yet PS has insisted on reducing ppi's on these folders from original count of 600 - 1200 to 72 ppi...WHY?
I want to save the changes made in PS CS5 for Mac to another file as a TIFF, so why is PS insisting on reducing the ppi to 72?

I am using PB Works as a Wiki generator which has a limited graphics editor. What it can do however is import JPG files. So, using Photoshop (I have version CS3) I thought I could take a JPG photo, add hotspots to it and then save it as a JPG before uploading it to the Wiki system. Then I could insert this JPG file into the appropriate part of the Web page (PB Works generates).
Is this possible to do?

I created my own set of actions in PS CS5. When i open a folder of JPGs and want them to get changed by that set automatically everything works but the saving the file.
I tried safe&close and renaming the files and safing them in another folder but they don´t get saved. all that pops up is a window asking me where i want to safe the copy-file of that JPG . If I do so it saves the file with the changes from the set. but it stops everytime.

I have this problem since I bought my SSD into my MacBook Pro. It happens both with Photoshop CS5 and CS6.
My hard disk configuration is a little bit weird. I have an SSD and an HDD (in the opti bay). The (OS X 10.7 Lion) system itself is on the SSD, and the user directories (/Users/gk/) are symlinked from the HDD because the SSD does not have enough space. There is one exception: the /Users/gk/Library folder is not on the SSD, but on the HDD to preserve the speed, so it's a double symlink.
I am not able to save images at all, it pretends to to it, but in fact the save operation reaches only the point, where the image is saved in ~/Library/ Caches/TemporaryItems (which is on the SSD), but then it is not moved to it's save location.

We're having a problem with saving files...
The specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate; Photoshop CS6
The problem:
Files are saving to old dates... PSD file created say on Aug 04, 2012. Saved as a TIFF today, August 18. But the date shown in Windows Explorer is July 08, not today's date. Same thing happened with a JPG
This doesn't seem to be happening with PSD files.
Okay, so i looked into the file (the PSD) a bit and saw that the PSD file was derived from another PSD file that had been created on July 08.
Now, for some reason all TIFFs and JPGs are taking the original created date and not the latest modified date.
I've just given one example, but the problem seems to be happening across the board, In some cases, which is how it caught our eye, the file date goes back to Feb, though it was worked on and saved as a TIFF yesterday (August 17).

I have had this problem so much I have switched back to using CS5 Photoshop when I handle layers. For some reason when I have a multi-layered photoshop file in CS6 and I try to save - it gives me a program error. This doesnt happen all the time just when I have been working on a document for a long length of time ( maybe something to do with auto save?) The only way I can save the file is to flatten but then I loose all of my hard work and layers!

When I do "save as" the drop-down only gives me options to folders I've used recently. Up until last week I could at least choose "desktop" and then from that choose a folder on the desktop. But now "desktop" won't open up any more options. I must have changed something -- I've unchecked the preference for saving in the original folder in an effort to get back to where I was --
