Photoshop :: Droplets And Converting Color Spaces
Jun 16, 2013
I like to go into LAB mode to boost the colours on my photos. I have created an action that converts to LAB, applies a couple of curves, and then converts the image back to RBG. I created a droplet with the intent of using the droplet in Lightroom. My plan was to apply to a smart collection of photos. However, the droplet says that the convert is not available.  What am I doing wrong? Am I approaching this the wrong way? Is there a better way? I take team photos and I have HUNDREDS to do. This droplet will save me DAYS of editting time.

I am one of the people who found that PSP X6 has problems converting embedded color spaces.
After some difficulties I eventually got a case number which meant that I could get some support. I supplied a problem description and sample files to first level support. This is the reply that I received:
The file was saved as 16 bit TIFF with ProPhoto as the color space, this one is a big factor because PaintShop Pro (X5 or X6) has its own color space and is only supporting RGB color space. It is normal for PaintShop Pro to convert your image to sRGB because that is the embedded color space. Also, I suggest you to contact ProPhoto to know what do they support or if they support PaintShop Pro.
Color shifting is normal due to the color space that is being used by a specific program (i.e. PaintShop Pro). Colors that are not within the range of RGB color space will be determined as imaginary colors.

I have a bunch of ImageReady droplets that I use to process images for a website. The droplets do things like resize the images, add borders to them, and save them in various directories. I'm trying to create Photoshop versions of these droplets. I couldn't find a way to convert the droplets to Photoshop directly (if there is a way to do that, I'd love to hear about it!), so I tried creating new Photoshop droplets that do the same things as the ImageReady ones. I managed to reproduce the sequence of actions in Photoshop, but when I tried to run the droplets, I got a very unhelpful error message. (It was just the standard "Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close" message, except that when I hit "End Now," the program didn't close.)

I have a layered file, the color space assigned to it is sRGB. I save a png file via Save For Web, tick the option to convert export to sRGB. All looks good in the save for web 2-up preview. But when I open the new png file, it's color profile is set to Adobe RGB, and the color space looks off—not like it did in the SFW preview.
Â
Details: My default color space is Adobe RGB. Sync'd across all CS5 apps. I have the option ticked to warn me on profile mismatches when opening a file. So far so good.
Â
So it seems like my Working Space color (Adobe RGB) is overriding SFW settings as well as my document color space settings

How to take the Castellar MT font and fill in the blank spaces in the letters with colour? I need to use this font because that's my company's font for their name and I'm trying to design a sign. I have used the blob brush, but I keep getting tiny little specks that look like they're not filled in.

After creating two adjustment layers and then selecting the background layer, i attempt to convert from RGB color to LAB color but get the following warning: "Changing modes will discard an adjustment layer; change mode anyway?" and if i click on "OK," an adjustment layer disappears. Why does this happen and how can i prevent losing an adjustment layer. i am using CS2 and have a 16 bit image file. (i am converting to LAB in order to sharpen and will subsequently convert back to RGB ).

I need to convert a layer so that it is only one color(black). It can't have any other shades in it. I tried color overlay, but there are still little spots where there are shades of grey on the outsides of the graphic,

Got specs for converting a print ad to jpg for ATM: 800wx600h; 72dpi; 256 colors. As far as I know, the only way to get 256 colors is to convert to index. When I do, the halftones get slightly grainy.
Also, I can only save the file as .psd, not .jpg as required. How to convert my file to 72 dpi jpg with 256 colors.

After converting a color photo to black and white, the image that prints out has a sepia tone to it. The image looks black and white on my screen and when I print a black and white image directly from the internet, it prints out in good black and white mode. What adjustment is available to get rid of this sepia tone?

I'm having a little trouble with CS2 droplets. They work fine on one of my PCs with windows XP but when I try to use them on a machine with Vista a message comes up 'Photoshop CS2 has stopped working' This also happens when I double click on the droplet.

I have recently purchased and installed CS3 Design Standard, and I can't get droplets working within Photoshop CS3. I'm running on WinXP SP2.
As an initial test, I followed the documentation, and created a droplet from an existing action that I knew worked when applied within Photoshop. To keep things simple, I chose destination "none", so in theory the modified image should remain open once it has been processed. The droplet was created without issue, and I got a "Process.exe" in the desired output folder.
When I drag and drop an image onto the droplet, Photoshop gains focus (when it is running), or starts (when it is closed), but then nothing happens! Code:

Got a problem with Droplets on CS3. They just don't work despite even reinstalling CS3.
Running a Vista laptop with CS3, set up my actions with Open and save commands so ticking both relevant boxes in the droplet pallett, so I know the actions have been set up correctly.
I've installed CS2 alongside CS3 and suddenly the droplets worked when created in CS3.
I've gone to my other XP machine tested CS3 droplets and they didn't work, so did the same, ie installed CS2 aswell and again the droplets don't work when created in CS3, thing is they don't work in CS2 either now. I've reinstalled CS3 on this machine too.
The error messages are different, sometimes, an error message comes up saying Photoshop has experienced a problem.

I create actions and droplets for batch file re-sizing and conversions. If I try to send more than 25 images to a droplet at one time, I receive an error message telling me that Windows could not find the specified file name or path; and that I may not have the required permissions for this action. If I try this for 20 images or less, everything works fine. Because other users I have spoken with have not had this problem, not the software.Â

I have created droplets for Noiseware actions in PS CS4. When I try to run the action either by dropping images directly onto the droplet on the desktop, or by trying an export action from Lightroom (which is what I really want to do), I get a Microsoft Windows pop up box with the message "Adobe Photoshop Droplet has stopped working".
I have also tried changing the compatibility of the droplet to run as administrator, I then get a different error message, which says, "Droplet couldn't communicate with Photoshop".
Have also tried creating droplets for other simple actions other than Noiseware, with the same results.
Dell XPS420 Quad Core 2.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, Windows Vista 32-bit SP1, PS CS4 and Lightroom 2.1

I do have a web photo gallery where images are stored in 1024x768 and thumbnails in 120x90 pixel dimensions. On my desktop computer I've the following folder structure:
[ddmmyyyy]
|-[2048x1536]
|-[1024x768]
|-[thumbnails]
Folder 2048x1536 contains the original source images acquired from digital camera.
Within this folder I play batch action called 2048x1536 that perfoms the following tasks:Prompts if an image should be rotated
Rotate image x degrees (0 = leave unchanged)
Save with quality 12
Close
I play this action > Automate > Batch and set destination Save and Close.Within folder 2048x1536 I play also batch action called 1024x768 that performs the following tasks:Resize image with constrain proportions; width 50%
Auto levels
I play this action > Automate > Batch and set destination Folder 1024x768.Finally within folder 1024x768 I play batch action called 1024x768->thumbnails that performs the following tasks:Resize image with constrain proportions; width 11,7%
Unsharp mask (amount: 50%, Radius: 1px)
Reset watches
Set selection to all
Stroke (width: 1px, location: center, opacity: 100%, R:0, G:0, B:0)
I play this action > Automate > Batch and set destination Folder thumbnails.I would like combine these three steps together and save images under folders 1024x768 and thumbnails using file format image + 2-digit serial + extension (e.g. image01.jpg).

I've created an action, but it won't OPEN a file, I have to open the file manually, then start the action. I need this action to work in a droplet for over 300 images, so it would REALLY be nice if I could automate the entire process. My action is: OPEN - 324 PSD filesCROP - to specific demensions, resolutionEXPORT - Save for web as a jpegCLOSE - close this file and loop to the next.

I have upgraded my OX to MAvericks and now I can't use my droplets.
Â
They are all saved and I have hundreds of images in seperate folders that my droplet would open, turn to CMYK and save in the same file but as a TIFF. Job was great and saved me tons of time.
Â
But I can't do that now - or can I? How to get this working again or if there's a new way of doing it?

Should I have installed 32 bit photoshop CS5? Recently upgraded my old (32 bit) mac pro to OS 10.7.5 Lion. Then upgraded Lightroom from version 2 to version 3. And finally upgraded from Photoshop CS 3 to CS 5. Why do droplets of Photoshop actions have a NO symbol over them, and are unable to work as a preset in Lightroom?

've been using Photoshop for a while now, since v.5.5. I'm not new to Actions, batches, droplets and the like. However, I've run into the need to process multiple files, in a multitude of ways and seem to be hitting a roadblock.
Â
The current workflow is to take a folder of JPEGs and drop them onto a droplet that turns them into "Antique" look, I repeat the dragging-dropping process again with a Black & White Droplet, then again with a Sepia droplet. Ultimately I'd LOVE to combine the 3 steps into one: dropping the images onto a single droplet (or whatever it takes) and return to have 3 folders full of my derivative images.
Â
My colleagues idea was to add a "revert" step into the original action, do the next steps, revert, etc. This works fine on a SINGLE image—when run solely as Action—but fails when batching because of the saving as a jpeg step.Â

I am using Adobe Photoshop CS4. I have created about 20 droplets that work great. Any way to run a number of droplets in succession. Once one droplet is complete the next one begins. I would like to run all my droplets over-night when I go home from work to come back in the moring to having all my images adjusted from the droplets. how to make this happen?

Two questions, actually. 1. I'm trying to reproduce an ImageReady droplet in Photoshop. The ImageReady droplet includes an "Export Layers as Files" step, but the "Export Layers to Files" script in Photoshop doesn't seem to work the same way.
For one thing, it doesn't work if the file has only one layer (which mine does), and it also doesn't have the same set of options. Is there another way to do the same thing in Photoshop?
I tried using "Save for Web/Devices," which does seem to have the same set of options as ImageReady's "Export Layers as Files" and thus might work well enough for my purposes. But is there a better way? 2. When exporting files (or saving them for web) in Photoshop, is there a way to set naming conventions (as one would do when using ImageReady's "Export Layers as Files")?

I have several hundred JPEG images in a folder that I want to change to PDF's. There is something about the particular JPEGS that I have obtained that won't let me import them into Final Cut Pro. However, I can open them in Adobe Photoshop 7 (for MAC), and then resave them as JPEG's or PDF's, and once I've done that, they import fine for me into Final Cut Pro. Since I'm working with several hundred images at a time, (and do this process alot) and have to convert them all, I've tried automating the process by creating a BATCH or DROPLET Instruction. I tell the dialog boxes what folder I want the images to be taken from, I tell it I want to turn them into PDF's with the same names, and I tell it what folder I want those new files saved to.
The problem is that when using either a BATCH or DROPLET, Photoshop opens all the images, but it won't go any further. It prompts ME to SAVE the photo's and pick the size compression and tell it what folder to save them to even though I've already made those selections in the automation process.
While it saves me a little time to have it open all the files for me, I thought
the idea of a BATCH or DROPLET was that you didn't have to actually TOUCH or Manually save anything,....that photoshop does the whole process for you.

I have three machines with this same issue. XP pro fresh install of everything, OS, PS CS2, LR 1.3, etc. All updates. I found this problem related to someone updating PS from CS to CS2, but not for a fresh install. I had this same problem before my most recent XP reformat too-I reformat my machines about once a year.
I can't run a droplet on more than 25 images at a time. I have tried multiple combinations of file/folder/droplet locations. Running the droplets from LR 1.3.1 does the same thing. Running from Bridge also will not work. It works fine for a few images, but not for 50 or 100 or more.
