Photoshop :: Droplets Just Don't Work With CS3
May 16, 2008
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. Other times Photoshop opens up but nothing happens, no error message.

for a while now, my photoshop tools wouldnt work. it was only the tools that involved "painting" like the brush tool and quick select. after reinstalling, they would work but suddenly they'd stop again. eventually i figured out that it was the pen for my wacom tablet. every time i used the pen, it would make the mouse not work untill i reinstalled the program. this means that a setting changes (pen pressure or something) when i use the pen and it doesnt change back when i use the mouse. i cant deturmine which setting changes.

I just bought and loaded PS C4 after uninstalling my PS CS2 and noticed that CS4 doesn't come with ImageReady. I've been reading online that ImageReady has migrated into PS CS4. Now the droplets that a company I contract for created don't work. They were created using Photoshop 7.0 and have worked for every PS version until this one. I don't know how to create the droplets using Photoshop CS4. What's going on with ImageReady? Is there something I can do to make these droplets work? Or do I have to create new ones?

I use laptop to print pictures and graphics.
I send my designs to a commercial printing company. Usual case is, is that the pictures turn out too dark or too lite, and sometimes it is due to the fact that the CMYK colors are overaly saturated causing all these colors layer to overprint and make it come out too dark. On my screen I dont see those oversaturated colors, I see a picture that looks good on screen. When Im using flat color somewhere, I have a swatch book that I use to assign number to each color and so the results are always great. But you cant do that with pictures, with pictures you have no idea. I use a color picker and set it to 5 point average to measure color, but it really doesnt tell me much. How can I measure a whole picture and be able to tell if the output looks oversaturated or undersaturated or too lite or too dark?

My prints dont match what i am seeing on the screen when using CS3. I am using windows xp and printing on a epson 7800. I never had this problem before i started using CS3. I have calibrated my monitor.
I have the standard version of CS3 not the extended. I read a arctical that CS3 prints darker then what is on your screen. The solution if you have CS3 extended is to increase lightness just before printing, but what if you dont have the extended version, what do you do?

Im having issues with cs4. When i use a tool (paintbrush, eraser), it randomly applies it somewhere else. For instance when trying to paint precise lines while following and edge the brush will apply itself randomly somewhere else. It always happens when i release the mouse button and then press it to start using again. I could be painting a horizontal line, let off the mouse button, repress it and all of a sudden the brush paints a vertical line 3 inches away!

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:

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).

How can you edit a droplet? I want to change the file location for the saved file but can't seem to get into the droplet to edit it, do I have to create a new one?

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.
