I've tried to figure out a way to do a batch-resampling in photoshopCS2 (Bridge) but I can not figure out how. My books / Helpfunction does not mention it either (as I can see). I've also tried googling.
Is it possible?
I do not want the pixel-size to be reduced before I do the proper croping and stuff on my pictures for web. I need them to go down from 300dpi to 72dpi, then crop them and then resize them to 800x600 (aprox)
To make this clear in my (Holy & Venerable) head once and for all:
The "resampling down" option should be applied when resizing a picture to a smaller size (Thus, I should preferably use "bicubic smoother"?)
Whereas resampling up will give best results when making a picture bigger ("bicubic sharper" for this one?)
Also, what is your experience of these resampling methods in terms of quality loss? I'd assume quality loss will be greater whenever you try to "create pixels out of thin air" as in resizing pics bigger?
What happens to the image when I transform (Ctrl +T) the image regarding to its re-sampling interpolation aspects? By transform I mean make it bigger or smaller.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI take digital images in RAW format, usually quite large, and then open and save the image as a large format Tiff file. At that point, I have to resize the image for the purpose at hand. Here goes...
I normally take the image down to roughly 4x6 inches (I keep the "Constrain Proportions" box checked) and desire a final resolution of 300dpi. Because I'm starting with a much larger image also at 300dpi or higher, this isn't a problem. However, I'm unsure about checking the "resample image" box.
My question is, should I check this box? I'm going to insert my desired resolution dpi regardless, so is it necessary to check the box or should I leave it unchecked? I'm starting to think that the purpose of leaving it checked is to perform roughly the same function as the "constrain proportions" box - to allow the software to automatically resample the image based on the resizing I do. But again, I have a particular resolution in mind and so I'm wondering if it's okay to just uncheck the box and insert my desired resolution. Or, even leave it checked but just go ahead and insert my desired dpi resolution as planned.
I have a large image (21.6 x 14.4in, 51.3MB, and 240ppi) that I need to reduce to approx. 7 x 5in, under 30MB, and 300ppi. First, I resampled the image down to 7 x 4.667in, 5.38MB, and 240ppi. Later, after I realized that I forgot to change the resolution, I resampled the image up by changing the resolution to 300ppi. I was left with a final image that had the following characteristics: 7 x 4.667in / 8.41MB / 300ppi. Since the file size is larger, I'm assuming that Photoshop did a bit of guesswork in order to add information back into the file.
If I would have changed the resolution from 240ppi to 300ppi at the same time that I resampled the image down to 7 x 4.667in, would I have gotten a better image? In other words, should I have done all of the adjustments at the same time?
When I resample in CS6 using bicubic sharper, I'm getting what looks like a gray on black plaid pattern in the darkest areas of the image.

Is cropping to a larger image the same thing as resampling...? I believe I was told it handled the information differently without adding extra pixels... is this true.?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a Creative Cloud member, and have downloaded all of the products and they are all up to date currently. The issue I have is, I see all these people using a new resampling setting called "Preserve Details". They go Image ------> Image Size, and then the window pops up. Now their window already looks different then mine. Mine looks like it did in CS4, theirs has an image preview inside the window, plus they have another resampling option available to them. Why doesn't my have this option?
I have tried to upload an image to show you what I mean, but I am unable to upload via my computer, and yes it is the correct size (>450 pxs wide by >500 pixels tall, 131 KB).
Ps CS6
OS X 10.6.8
Save For Web offers 5 resampling algorithms (the same 5 as in Image Size, ignoring "Bicubic Automatic", of course) for when the output is being resized.
All choices except "Nearest Neighbor" output an identical image (which is different to all results of Image Size). Although the "Bilinear" output contains the same pixels as the output of the 3 bicubics, its file size is slightly different than their shared file size.
A few weeks back my illustrator started resampling all of my high-res images to 72 dpi upon opening.
example:
Image A: Resolution 300, 877 x 591
I'll open that image in Illustrator (which, I've been doing for 8 years without problem) and here is what happens --
I get a bounding box of 877 x 591 - HOWEVER, the image is floating within that box at (what I'm guessing is around a 72 resolution) 213 x 142 pixels.
If I save the file out at 72 dpi - the image pulls up the right size in illustrator - it's just any image file that's a higher res than 72.
I'm running CS5
Everytime I Resample pictures that are big in size, and resolution, and I reduce the resolution and the size, the end result is always blurry. (doesn't matter if I use Draw or Paint)
- image is 39.4"w by 29.556"h @ 72 DPI, RGB, JPG (when opened in Paint or imported into Draw)
- I want it to be .976"w by .736"h @ 300 DPI ... yes alot smaller
Ultimately, once at the small size, I need to take all artwork (bitmaps, text etc) and make one 300 DPI bitmap to be run on the press.
I have tried ...
- Resampling the original sized image, that is 72 DPI, into 300 DPI and then Resampling the size from there and end up with Blurry (left on Anti-Alias and Maintain aspect ratio)
- Resampling size and DPI, in one step, and end up with Blurry (left on Anti-Alias and Maintain aspect ratio)
- made the image proportionately smaller (now DPI is 2,089) and then Convert into 300 DPI image, and end up with Blurry
This happens only occasionally. I have a file open in PP5. I resample the image -- reduce the physical size from, in this case, 53 inches to 8 inches high, and increase resolution from 72 to 300 dpi, with the resulting file size smaller than the original. I save the file, then import into my layout in Coreldraw. The imported file is back to 72 dpi and the physical size is huge. I reopen the file in PP, resample again, and resave under a new file name. Same problem occurs when I import into Draw. Of course, I can physically shrink the file to 3 inches high and the resulting dpi will be 300.
View 13 Replies View RelatedSo I have an action that I've been using for the past couple years (?) now that involves opening an image, applying an auto color and auto levels, saving and closing. This has been working for me since probably a couple years ago when I made the action. Yesterday, I was working on a scanning project where I have groups of images in separate folders. I ran the action on the first 2 folders which went fine.
When I got to the 3rd folder all the way up to the last one, PS just loads all the images, does the levels and color then fails to save/close them when done. On one of my folders, it gets through a few of them when it drops the ball and just opens all of them. I'm not sure what's going on as there's no real explanation as to why this is happening.. especially when I've been using this action (and I even made a new action with still no luck). Last week I had about 300 images I had to work with and PS decided to pull this move on me after doing the first 30 of them fine...which is when I first noticed this happening.
To further add, I set my action to show everything step by step and it seems to happen with select images (in some cases, these select images are entirely what is in the folder). With the select images, it is not doing the actions entirely in order. Typically it does it in this manner:
1-Levels
2-Levels
3-Save
4-Close
What I'm now experiencing is this:
2-Levels
1-Levels
(Skips 3 and 4 since it is starting at 2 and working upward).

I want to put my copyright on the bottom of my proofs and doing it one at a time is taking to long. I know there is a batch thing but I dont know how to use it.
I have fallen off the learning curve and can't get up! I just bought a new Nikon D70s and have moved the .jpg's to a directory. I want to convert all of them to .tif files to work on, while keeping the original .jpg files intact for archiving. I do not want to make any other modifications to the files at this time. I know how to do them one at a time but I know there is an easier way.

I have been trying to use the actions pallet to record the actions and then run a batch action but to no avail. I have adobe PS CS4.
Below are screenshots of what i have tried to setup. (After this I have about the same amount of .TIFF files that also need converted.)
I am having trouble converting .psd files to .jp2s. When I make the action, in the "save as" box I have to first pick the JPEG 2000 format, then manually change the extension from .jpf to .jp2. The problem is that when I set everything up, the files save with the extension .jpf, because that is the default extension for JPEG 2000, and my manual change is ignored in the replaying of the action.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a nice action to work on 2 (currently loaded) images in combination.
Now I would need support on how to apply this existing and successful action in a AUTOMATE/BATCH process on a folder full of files. So instead of just loading 1 (one) picture at a time and applying the action within a standard batch to a single picture - I would need that photoshop loads 2 (TWO) images from my source folder at the same time - applies the action-batch - and then continues to load the next 2 pictures, then the next 2 etc....
I'm trying to run a simple batch command that works fine in an old CS2 I happen to have but in CS4 every action I create and every stock one from the list returns the message "could not complete the batch command because the disk is not available". Not even actions that don't require saving to a disk work.

View 41 Replies View RelatedI'm working with a designer, how to do an urgent batch rename. I'm the project manager rather than a designer so, I don't have the design tools to experiment myself and it's rather urgent. This is the issue:
We have 300+ images. There's a one-digit difference between the low res file names and the high res, color-managed files the designer needs to relink on Monday. In every case, there's a 0 missing before an underscore - so Day Two_0012 has become Day Two_012. This is an easy fix in the file-renaming software I use but I'm in a different city and it's much simpler if the designer, who uses Adobe Creative Suite, does it at her end.
I'd like to ask something. Suppose I've thousands of files of psd jpg and txt files which can be paired by names like x.psd x.jpg and x.txt. I'd like to import x.txt and x.jpg into x.psd as new layers. a default position for layers are enough for all files.
Can I do this for all files?

I want to setup a batch process to open up JUST the PSD files and then save elsewhere as a JPEG.
How can I open just the PSD files in an action or using Image Processor Pro?
Similarly, I want to setup another batch process that will open RAW files and allow basic editing in CAmera RAW.
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).
I've been looking for this one a long time, but I just don't get it to work properly. The problem is this, I need to save a whole lot of pictures into jpeg in my PS file. But the time it takes me for selecting every one of them and pushing ctrl shift s, then inputting the number and save as jpeg. Is driving me horribly insane.
So I looked up some things on google, but that didn't help, thus I landed here. I know you could do this with the automate - batch command but I simply don't get it to work. Using the action command doesn't help either, it saves the picture but always overwrites the former one (since it always saves with the same name)...
