View 1 RepliesI'm am using Adobe Photoshop CS 2 on a 2.33 gHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro, running OSX 10.4.11.
So here's my situation. I'm editing a music video. I'm editing with Final Cut Pro, but I want to use filters from Photoshop. So I export every frames of my video in JPEG format and I add effects to each frame using Photoshop. I created an action to apply the CUTOUT filter on all my frames using batch automation. But here is my problem : everytime I start the process, the JPEG Options dialog opens up. I need to click "OK" on each frame for it to save to JPEG ! It seems the "Ok" to that dialog cannot be recorded by Photoshop's actions... Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way I could automate this dialog so that I don't have to click "OK" for every single one of the 7000 frames I'm working on?
completely remove the white background. Because this will be a batch process that includes others lighter hats, I can only use a maximum of 10 as a tolerance. When placed on a black background, it reflects some white fringe.
I'm starting with the Magic Eraser (10 tolerance), then doing Layer/Matting/Defringe, and no matter what tolerance I apply there (up to 20), some white pixels remain around the edge. Very frustrating to find a happy medium process in order to batch various colors to an acceptable quality.
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.
I'm trying to resize and save a bunch of .bmp pictures.
I tried tinkering with some options, but couldn't get it to work any faster than doing each one individually. I think I'm going about it all wrong...
Is there an easy to way to import all the pictures at once, change the Image Size and then save as a JPEG in a new folder?
I'm using Photoshop CS2.
does anyone know if it's possible to export a desired (fixed) file size with a batch automation in Photoshop? For example:
I have 50 images (*.jpg) that have different file sizes (25k, 15k, 45k etc) now I would like to export a fixed file size to 10k for all images...
I have tried this in Photoshop and in Fireworks, but the Programs exported 10K or less and sometimes even greater than 10k
I would really be happy if someone knows a way to do this or if there are any stand-alone programs that can automate and export targeted file sizes.
I need to open up a series of pdf files (usually 48 - 56 files in all) to a specific resolution and width, then save for web as a jpg file. I recorded the actions to open (with the resolution and size), save for web, then close. When I run the batch I used the Override Action "Open" Command so that PhotoShop will open all the files in the specified folder, and not the same pdf over and over again. The problem is, PhotoShop opens the files as the same file name (the name of the file used during the recording) and thus saves all the images as the same name. Even if I use Override Action "Save As" Command, and set it to Page + 2 Digit Serial + extension the file always saves with the same original name. Which is either coming from the automate or the file name the pdf was opened with.
I have considered opening all the files to the correct size then using the automate/batch to save and close them, but it's a bit of a pain to manually open all the files instead of doing work in a another program while I let it run.
I'm using PhotoShop CS3.
Is there anyway to automate a few steps in photoshop 7.0, so I don't have to repeat the same step with a few incrementing values?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 250 fabric patterns in my pattern's list and 1 white tshirt. I want to have 250 different tshirts with different patterns and file names. How can I setup the action to automate this. The files name needs to be ex: shirt_0_white, shirt_0_black, etc... OR shirt_0_1, shirt_0_2, etc..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an action that opens a file (raw) and simply saves it to jpg. For some reason, it keeps prompting me to hit "ok" like it does whenever you save a raw file without automation. Any idea how I can get rid of that? I'd like an action that simply takes every file in a directory and saves it with no processing to a jpg.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Photoshop CS. I have many hundred documents to scan and was going to use the pre loaded "Crop and Straighten" tool under file/automate. My problem is I want to run this over a folder that will save and close, not just one image at a time.
I also want it to do an automatic save using the current file name without adding the word "copy" to it, and not have to type over the file name each time when the save option comes up with "Filename copy.tiff".
I know the Crop and straighten tool is great for putting several images on a scanner and it separating them into individual images, but this is not what I am doing, I have one scan, one document.
So is it possible to run this over a folder of 500+ documents and walk away from it, have all images save and close using the current name, and not fill the desktop up with many opened images that need to be manually closed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a series of actions that copy a document, apply a colour profile, resize and then save as - so I can export as jpeg. These actions work individually but currently I have to enter a file name.
What I'd like to do be able to do is select an action which runs say three or four of those actions - say export at 600, 800, 1200 pixels dimension and also suffixes the file name with that number.. so IMG0001.JPG becomes IMG001_800.JPG, IMG001_1200.JPG etc etc.
I would like to know how to activate the Automation Tools in Photoshop Element 10.
View 3 Replies View RelatedTo make things easier to understand, I'll explain what I do: our sports' photography department makes photos of several sports teams, we print the photos, we put them in a basic two-sheeted album, and then send the photos to the team. As we print all the photos together, they are on a big pile and it's very difficult to sort them with the correct team name. So we take the printed photo, and compare it to all the team photos on the computer, which have the team name in the file name. So this is a very inefficient and slow process.
I was thinking of printing the photos as thumbnails on a sheet, and THEN compare them to the printed sports' photos. It's a lot easier to have a piece of paper with e.g. 10 photos to compare to than browse them on a computer.
So, again, I hope there's a way to let Photoshop put 10 thumbnails on a single sheet, and put the file name below it. All automatically (with an action?) of course.
I've tried to add as a plug-in and it sees my old Elements 8 & 10 but not Elements 11?
View 1 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).
Accessibility or Automation within GIMP on Windows.
Does GIMP 2.8 have any Accessibility or Automation features similar to MSAA or UIA available in the Windows version?
I have tested the GIMP UI and only Win32 Windows are accessible, but nothing within these Windows, i.e. Menus, Toolbox buttons, etc.
If no features exist on the Windows platform, do the features exist in the Linux version?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on an AutoCAD OEM based product. I need to compare two DWG files as a part of GUI test automation. What is the best way to do it?
I have already explored Compare DWG, a third party tool available as a Menu option in AutoCAD. However, the ObjectARX library used by this tool does not get loaded onto the product under test. It gives a linker error as follows:
AcRxDynamicLinker failed to load 'C:Program FilesFurixCompareDWG 2006frxc2006_calc.arx'
We are facing strange issue with all different versions of AutoCAD (2007, 2011, 2013). While users are working on the file, all of a sudden the contents (work done) are lost and it becomes all blank. The file size is same but when we open the file all the work done is not displayed, but just a blank screen.
It happens occasionally and there is some Automation Error in the command line below. The software is not hanging but the open file is in hang state and we have to close it. While closing whether we select yes/no the content (work done) is all lost. The temp location where the files are saved in one of the computer is become huge around 40GB will many Autocad autosave and temporary files; if it has anything to do with it !
Normally When I start interface and tagging items (drawings) and writting in to Database, everything is working fine. However my interface is idle for morethan 15 mins, after that if I start the process (Searching items, Creating Items, Writting Items into DB) then immediately I got the Error "Automation Error System call failed". I did lot of R & D on my code, but I am unable to find the issue, may be Objects are emptied or i don't know.
Problamatic Code is given below.
dim strAutoCadVersion as string
strAutoCadVersion = Left(AcadApplication.Version, 2) is giving Automation Error when the interface has been idle for 10 mins.
Also I attached screen shots of an error.

You're code is definitley a great starting point, and will most likely save me a ton of time!
I am currently diving into a small project which should save a lot of time for designers in the end if it pans out.
Issue being resolved:
We use the Vault and have a ton of machines that get re-used from time to time through the Copy Design method. There's obviously some changes that are made from job to job, but the big issue is changing a machine from an Imperial to Metric one. This is the time (and mind) consuming process I'm looking to shorten.
What I have:
Currently I have a code (few tweaks needed but it works) that is run from an upper assembly. This code then cycles through each and every sub assembly and part that exists within it. As it cycles through, it checks for hole features which are tapped, and if it finds one of these instances, changes the thread from Imperial to Metric according to a Hard Coded set of values.
Current Dilema:
What's the point of changing the holes if the designer has to go through the assembly to change the bolts and fasteners anyways?
I've practiced a bit with your code and been able to replace items, the issue is everything must be hard coded in order to do so. My question is:
Is there a way to get the Family from the Part Occurence / Document / Anything related?
I've looked through the API, but have only found that everything related to the Content Center.... is only accessable through the Content Center, and nothing else.
For Example, yes I am able to tell if a part has come from the content center (ie. PartComponentDefinition.IsContentMember), but that's as far as it goes, just a simple Boolean.
There MUST be a way to find out some sort of Content Center information from the direct Part / other related documents. I've looked at the "Replace Content Center Part Sample" provided in the API, but this example hard codes the ContentTreeViewPath as well.
In the end, I don't quite understand the point of hard coding this path with no way to access it through the Part Document. This only creates the need for constant manual change and / or MANY rules to compensate each and every family.
I need to explode ~2000 PolyFace meshes in a drawing.Manually I can do the following:
> QSELECT - PolyFace Mesh - Select All
> Explode
I get a question if I want to "Disregard DrawingOrder for this operation due to the fact that it might take some time", by selecting "Yes" the process takes ~10 minutes (one explode).With an VBA automation I do the following:
> Create a selection set of all PolyFace meshes
> Explode each obj (2000 times) in the selection set with SendCommand (as .Explode does not work on polyface mesh objects)
I have waited hours for the same process (might be due to multiple explodes and/or screen updating taking place).I have always though automation is faster than manual work, but this proved me wrong.So to the questions:
1. How can I prevent screen updating in VBA (disregard draw order) during "long actions"
2. Is there a better way to explode a selection set than looping through each and every object calling explode (obj.handle)
For one drawing I can do it in 10 minutes, but I have 50 drawings with the need to explode this, having an automation run over night sounds great, but having it take 6x+ times longer for each drawing causes the night not to be long enough.
i have a photo montage at the end of a video and im looking for some way to automate the moving/scrolling/flow of the pics. i have a particle element (with a trail) that comes in flying through in 3d space. im trying to have the photos dissolve in one at a time in 3d space like they're flying at the camera slowly in front of this particle effect.
trying to not have to animate every single one of these by hand.
