What I'm trying to do is create almost 360,000 files from scratch. You know, doing this by hand on my own would take a year. I know there is a way to batch create those files in photoshop from scratch. I know how to work with the batch function if I want to, let's say, convert 300 images. That's easy. But how do I create multiple images from scratch? Code:
View 4 RepliesI created an Action to batch export a folder of .ai files to create 300dpi .png's of the .ai file's artboard. I did this by simply recording "Export...as png" with my desired settings then Batch running the Action on desired folder of .ai files. The files were successfully exported, the trouble is that the exported files lack a .png file extension. My intent is to take these PNG files and merge them into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro. Unfortunatly, without the .PNG extension, Acrobat Pro does not recognize the file types and does not let me use the Combine Files feature on them. Going back and manually adding a .png at the end of the exported files defeats the time-saving purpose of Batch Processing all together. Is there something I am missing or doing incorrectly? I have included screenshots of 1) My Batch Action settings 2) folders showing files without .png extension and 3) visual of what I see when I am trying to combine PNGs into a PDF.

I need to put them into an in design doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done?
I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need to do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so how to best go about this, or if I even can. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64.
I have 200 tiffs in one folder (each tiff is named 'image 1-200') all without an alpha channel.
I have 200 different tiffs in another folder (named 'luma matte 1-200').
I've have copied the first images of the 'luma matte 1.tiff' (a black and white image) and pasted it into a newly created alpha layer in 'the image 1.tiff' channel window.
I save this out as a new tiff called 'composite 1' and it works in the way I require it to work.
How would I automate this process rather than having to do it individually for all the 200 files. I'm not sure if this can be done with a series of actions/batch? I dont want to use After Effects luma key as this isn't giving me the correct results.
using CS2...I know how to create actions and use the Batch Automation thing but not sure how or if this is possible...
I have a ton of folders in one folder. inside each folder are a bunch of TIF files. I want to create an action to run as a batch to open that TIF, convert it to JPG then save in a separate folder with the same name in another folder. Basically im duplicating what I have in one folder to another folder with one being the original TIFs and the new set being JPG, all in folders of the same names.
Basically I know how to do all of this except when I set up the batch, it seems to only allow the new JPGs to be saved in a single folder. It can pull all the TIFs using the "include subfolders" in the source section but only places the new/revised file into a single folder.
A simple action.
File>Export>.bmpClose
If I run the action on one file, it works perfect.
If I try to run it as a batch, it creates the bmp files fine.
But it also creates either a .ai file, or two .eps files!
Writing one or two extra files signifiantly shows the process down.
After I run the batch it is not hard to simply delete the extra .eps/ai files of course.
But writing those files seriously slows the process down, and I have about 89,000 more files to go.
Illustrator CS4. Windows XP
I have a bunch of pictures in a folder, and lots of sub folders inside that folder with picture too. I made an action that has a filter, and a save command.
When I try it on that folder, it overwrites the pictures and while it does a batch on the sub folders, it throws it back in the main folder.
What I would like instead: I want to do the command on all the pictures, but I want Photoshop to create a duplicate folder (named slightly differently if able) inside my own folder and sub folders with the filtered images.
Say I have 2 folders here, I want Photoshop to go into "batch test main folder", then dive into the sub folders, make a new folder within that pictures1 folder, named Filter Pictures or something, and throw all the filtered images from Pictures 1 in there without harming them. Then go to Pictures 2, make a new sub folder in there too etc.
how do i create an action for use with the batch tool?

I've been searching the Web, but I haven't been able to locate anything useful on this (except one article for CS5). Seems a bit odd. Anyway, I already know how to create an action, but what I'm stuck on is having the action pause and open a dialogue box so I can do things like name a photo, choose the size I want in the Save for Web dialogue, etc.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs an organization, we have opted to go with STB as we have some complicated requirements that CTB doesn't accommodate. The wisdom of that decision is a moot point and I'm aware of the vast array of opinion.
We have a legacy of CTB drawings that occassionally need to be brought forward when projects get resurrected (state government highway designs are prone to getting shelved).
Up to AutoCAD 2009, I've had a VBA routine that performed a few operations on a list of files stored in a text file:
- Open the file
- Convert to STB using "CONVERTPSTYLES" with a specified STB file.
- Run a script to load a layer state file to change the plot styles from Style1, Style2 etc, to their correct named plot styles.
- Manage a recalcitrant layer that refused to play ball.
- Save and close the document
- Get the next file........
This was all fine until 2010 came along with the announcement that VBA was to be phased out. 2010 is OK with the VBA enablers, but now I've got some work to do.
Our organisation's development language is C# and I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition to develop my C# .NET code.
Is there another mechanism than "SendStringToExecute" for sending a command such as convertpstyles to AutoCAD and getting .NET to wait for it to finish before proceeding.
I've got CommandEnded code that handles waiting for MTEXT and DTEXT commands to finish and I've tried constructing a CommandEnded for CONVERTPSTYLES, but it seems to me that commands that throw dialogue boxes such as CONVERTPSTYLESand SCRIPT aren't handled the same way.
I've tried setting FILEDIA to 0 prior to running the CONVERTPSTYLES command, however the message box that CONVERTPSTYLES presents before asking for the STB file appears to be getting in the way.
I would like to transfer batch commands that I created in CS2 to CS5. these are the commands created under import-batch. where are those files stored and will cs2 files work under cs5 (or are they version specific)

View 21 Replies View RelatedI would like to automate of saving, renaming, closing open documents then placing them in a seperate folder after I'm done adding watermarks to my images. The problem I'm coming across is that the action i have renames all the files using the same name (whatever example/file I used when I recorded the action).
So even though the original file names are 123.jpg, 124.jpg, 125.jpg and I want them to be renamed as 123c.jpg, 124c.jpg, 125c.jpg all of them gets renamed 122c.jpg.
I'm not sure how to do a screen shot, so here is the skinny on what I have done...
Under the Batch window I marked the following:
Play:
Set: Set1
Action: Watermark Save & Exit
Source: Opened Files
Destination: Folder Desktop/Watermarked Pictures
Override Action "Save As" Commands (box is checked)
File Naming: "Document Name+c+extension

what I did wrong??
I use CS4 if that matters.
Im in the process of upgrading from CS5 Design Standard to CS6 DS. I had no problem copying my custom InDesign workspaces from the earlier version to the new version.
What I'm having a hard time with, is how can I get the batch files I use in Photoshop CS5 to copy over to the current version? I distinctly remember doing this when I moved from CS4 to CS5, but for the life of me, I can't remember how I did it, and I've been looking all over the Internet with no success.
I'm on OS 10.6.8 (I know it's old, but everything works beautifully, and I'm not gonna move to ML until I absolutely have to…)
Process a batch of files?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI made an action that opens, resizes, saves and closes files. I loaded it into "file>automate>batch" and designated both source and destination folders(which are different). For some reason the batch processed files are not saving to the designated destination folder specified in the batch gui.
How can i correct this?

Various freeware batch utilities don't support transparency and flatten the PSDs so that won't do either.

View 4 Replies View Relatedbatch processing Camera RAW files in PS CS3 on a Mac.
I select the files in Bridge which are cropped, and the action I've created resizes to web resolution and saves as a JPG.
But when the files are processed, the images are not cropped, but full frame.
i often scan in images, roughly 50 at a time, in the order i want them saved/numbered in. When i go to batch save, (along with some color correction and other small things) it numbers my files from the LAST image i scanned in to the first.. IE; what should be image50.jpg is image01.jpg and vice versa.. basically its doing the naming in reverse.
I never had this problem in PS7, only since moving to CS2.
I've got a batch process set up, and want to run it on all opened files. I set the destination to "Folder", because I want to use the batch process's naming facilities. When I run the batch, it closes the files it works on. However, I want to perform subsequent batch actions on the files, so need them kept open. There's no Close function included in the batch action as far as I can tell.

I want to create a batch action that will process raw files by setting their workflow resolution option and image settings in camera raw. I can create a batch action by recording an open command for a raw file, setting the workflow resolution and image settings, and then stopping the action recording.
This creates an open action which captures the resolution , images settings instruction , and other settings for camera raw, but it also captures the camera model and workflow options are specific to a camera model. If I then use the action on multiple raw files from different cameras, raw files from the camera specified in the 'open' step will get processed as I want, but raw files from any other camera model will get processed with whatever workflow resolution option was used the last time I manually opened a file from that model in ACR.
I tried recording an 'open' step by bringing raw files from 3 different cameras into ACR and selecting to open them in photoshop, but that created three 'open' steps, one for each camera model, in the action. Running that action produced three versions of every image from every camera model. No good.
How can I create an action that will set the workflow resolution option based on the camera model, when images from different camera models are being processed in the batch?
I am using PSCS5 and ACR 6.7
