I'm a professional photographer and starting to get a handle on photoshop but I don't learn well from books.
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.
So 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 batch around 2000 files to png.
This is what my batch looks like:
I prefer to use export to web but i have problems with both. This is one of the many options i tried:
Even if i do Destination: save and close it doesn't close the files.

I need to water mark aboutn 300pictures, from a wedding...Does anyone have a guide on how to do this? I know you go to batch, open the files, and then record what you do, and then it repeats..But Im a bit confused, so does anyone have a guide, or mind making me one on camtasia?

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.

Is there a way to stack the images at the end of the job like an action, then when I get back to the studio, I can tweak the images?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have about 2300 .eps files that I need to convert to .jpg so they can be used in an online store.
All of the eps files need to be resized to a maximum of 700px wide, coverted to an rgb colorspace, and 72dpi and then saved as a .jpg file
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 am trying to batch convert jpg to png and do some minor modification to the image before saving as png and i can do that but when it saves the png it renames the jpg to 0.png how can i change that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have many folders that contain my NEF and PSD files, all together.
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)...
I need to place a semi-transparent logo onto about 300 images so people do not take my pictures right off the web and use it as their own. Instead of doing them one at a time, is there a batch method to crank these out? All the images are the same size and I have them in both PSD and Jpeg format.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to batch in CS2 while I have CS3 on the computer. I'll tell you why in a second.
Even in BRidge 2, batching seems to launch CS3 PS, and all sorts of variations on this continue on and on, pure chaos.
I just did a batch rename in CS2 on my Mac from 001 to 300. Everything worked fine except for one thing. Right in the middle of the 300 images PS added the following - 140 (1) to 179 (1). Does anyone know why parentheses were added to that group of images?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to run a batch process, more or less i have to blur out a certain section of an image for about 360 images... I searched around for a bit and couldn't find the answer on these forums...
The images were all taken on a tripod, so the spot remains in the same spot.
I created a new action set, and i start recording the actions, it records me selecting the blur location, but does not record me actually performing the blur. I then save while still recording.
When i run this process on the image directory all the images (except the first one i edited and saved) remain without the blurred section.
Is there a way to do this, or do i have to blur each image individually?
I cannot figure out how to make a batch process do some work on files in a folder, then "Save for Web..." each file into a new folder, without having to hand click on save/etc dialog windows.
I want each out file to have the same name as the input file, but put into a different folder.
could someone direct me to an explination of how to use photoshop to do batch processing on many images
like make 200 images width 640 (by whatever)
at jpg compession level 5
This has been "bugging" me for a while.
1) Open a raw file (.CR2)
2) output the file to JPG or open directly
===> i.e. the resulting image is 3888 x 2592
3) use Automate > Fit Image
===> i.e. 1200 pixels (reducing the image by a factor of 3.24)
======> The result should be 1200 x 800 pixels
However the batch conversion would be result in 1200 x 801 pixel.
Even if I were to add a step 2.5 as follows
2.5) image > image size > 1200 x 800
After automate > Fit Image (1200) it would still result in 1200 x 801 pixels!
What's broken with photoshop?
The only fix I've stumbled across so far would be to use an external programme to strip all the exif and attached metadata, only then would the "Fit Image" script work.
Having one extra pixel doesn't really matter most of the times, but it's does get on my nerves.
Advice sought: How can I fix this?
I have a folder structure of subfolders with jpeg's in them.
I'd like to 'Save for web' them , keep the same folder structure and also the same names for the images.
I made an action that does Save for web. According to Adobe the settings should be
File > Automate > Batch>
Inculde all subfolders checked
Save and Close
Override Action checked
and I tried many other settings,
but the images tend to be saved in the destination folder of the image that I created the action with, instead of their original folder.
I have some images which I want to increase the border pixels by about 2-3pixels. Then I want to add a shadow effect. I need to do this for around 150 images. I've tried to do it via new action/record and then batch processing but its not doing the job.
Any suggestions ?
I'm looking to create a batch that will allow me to resize an image (I can do this part) and then put a watermark (watermark.psd) on top of it. I have followed several tutorials and tried the actions and know how to batch, etc...but when I try to put an image over it, it errors. I have just been starting the recording and then drag and dropping from watermark.psd to the file I'm working with. That causes an error.

I know that CS2 has a batch process to take the file size to certain pixel dimension but wanted to know if anyone knew a way to do it to fit overall file size vs. dimension.
I am trying to setup a batch file. I am taking gif images with transparent backgrounds and wanting to convert. Need to flatten image, change mode to rgb and save to jpg. For some reason when I use the automate after recording, and I set source folder and destination folder, images sent to the destination are exactly the same as original, gif transparent? Nothing seems to be happening to the images?

That will make it look like the stock image is inside the jar.

How can I do this so that I dont have to do every image one at a a time, I must be able to automate it....
