Photoshop :: Can't Figure Out This Droplet

Jan 20, 2007

I'm tring to make a droplet and it's not working. I've created an action, the action works fine when applied to a photo while in PS, then I went through the steps to create a droplet. I set the droplet to appear on my desktop and the and set it to close and save. So I drag a photo onto the droplet icon and nothing happens, the photos just stay the same.

Ive made a bunch of actions and tried creating droplets for all of them and it's the same thing every time. I get the droplet Icon on my desktop, but when I drag a photo or a file onto it...nothing at all.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assign Mline To A Figure Style In Figure Prefix Database

Oct 29, 2013

I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011.  I am wondering if there is a way to assign an mline to a figure style in the Figure Prefix Database.  Ultimately I am trying to create storm drains that have a width automatically (ex. 12" SD would come in at 12").  Right now I have a single center line that comes in and I manually offset the line to create a width or I place an mline over the center line.

Photoshop :: Cannot Run Droplet

Sep 18, 2012

I created a droplet from an action I recorded, and placed it on my desktop. The first time I did it, the process worked well and without problems. Then, I tried to move the file (or shortcut maybe?) to a folder and use it, but all I got was a message reading "Could not run the droplet because the file could be found". So, I deleted that droplet file and created a new one on the desktop, but then I got the same message again.
 
Also, can I place droplets in folders other than the desktop? Can I place a few in the same folder and name them as I wish?

Photoshop :: Droplet

I find that when using a droplet to batch process images I'm limited to 9 images at a time, when dragging groups of files from explorer onto the droplet icon. Am I doing it wrong or something?

Photoshop :: Creating Droplet In CS6?

Feb 19, 2013

I want to create a droplet in CS6 that I can drag lots of images to and simply have it resize those images and save them to a new folder. I create an action to change the image size and save the images to a folder as a .jpg. I then create a droplet based on this action. I tried several times to drag images onto the droplet, though as it goes through the images it prompts me with questions as it is saving the images, and it never actually saves the optimized images to a folder.

Photoshop :: Droplet Broken In CS6?

Mar 4, 2013

Since switching to CS6 when I create an image resize action in Photoshop the action runs correctly but if I create a droplet then the action makes the image width and height deminsions the same matching neither from the action.
 
It makes a 2550 x 1880 image, that I'm trying to convert to 612 x 432 into a 512 x 512 image.  It also seems to be having an issue with eps files, because when I open the same eps again and run the action it adds a '-1' then '-2' then '-3' and so on, to the end of the name.
 
I've tried it on three Macs works the same on each one. I'm try to convert .eps files created in illustrator to .gifs for web preview.  I can make an action in Illustrator, but there's no droplet.  And if I save the files in .ai then the action for the droplet won't make it past opening the files. Even though suppress action open prompts are turned off.

Photoshop :: Saving Droplet In CS4

Jun 20, 2013

I created a droplet that works fine. It is specifically for vertical images and saves them as a jpg. In naming the droplet I tried to abbreviate "vertical" with "vert.", and followed that with jpg to reflect the fact that the image would be saved as a jpg.

So the name of the droplet ends with "vert.jpg". Now the droplet won't work because it looks like an image file with a jpg extension. When I go to rename the droplet I am unable to get rid of the extension in the file naming dialog. It auto-completes the name including the .jpg. If I delete the extension, Photoshop only "Hides" the extension. I can't get rid of it.

Photoshop :: Droplet Troubles

Jul 11, 2008

I'll start by saying that I have made dozens of droplets and batches in the past, and have never run into hair-pulling like this before. I have a folder with about 40 images in it. I'd like to create a droplet that does these two simple things:

1.) resizes them to 550 px wide
2.) Saves for Web with a medium image quality

That's all. I don't care what they get renamed as or even if they are simply overwritten with the same names. I have tinkered with each setting in the Create Droplet dialog and also tried countless combinations in the Actions menu to get this thing to work correctly. For some reason, no matter what I try, it always stops at each image and tells me that one with that name already exists (even when I am renaming them w/ serial #'s). Also, if I hit replace and continue the action, the usual JPEG image quality selector dialog pops up.

Needless to say it's ticking me off because normally I'd have this thing created in a couple minutes. Could anyone give me some tips on what I'm doing wrong or maybe even give me a brief run-thru on what actions and droplet options I need to have selected.

Photoshop :: Can't Get Droplet To Work

Jul 7, 2008

I'm trying to reproduce the droplet illustrated

when I record the open function to open an image the specific path and filename of the image are hardecoded into the action, so the droplet will only work for the file I used to make the action and it must be in the same folder.

Obviously this makes droplets pointless. How do I make the action generic, so it will batch process all the images in any folder?

Photoshop :: Droplet Not Running When Open?

Oct 1, 2012

I created droplets for my photos but I have a problem with them. When I move files to the shortcuts while Photoshop is already open, nothing seems to happen. I have to close and re-open the program everytime I use the droplet shortcut for the action to take place. Why is it? How can I fix it?

Photoshop :: Droplet Creation Not Working In CS5 And Lion?

Jun 10, 2012

Trying to make a droplet but PS CS5 seems to think it is a PPC item. I am on an intel laptop Macbook Pro. The action works fine on it's own but PS not allowing the droplet. I've been troubleshooting it and there is nothing in it that should disallow- gave an error message about PPC action.
 
I do have some older version of PS on here- (CS3) . Wonder if some sort of directory structure needs fixing since didn't do clean install of Lion.confirm if this is default location: HD/App/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets/Actions.

Photoshop :: Saving A Droplet Not Maintain PNG Format?

Sep 20, 2013

I created an action that includes changing the format in the Save for the Web feature to .png. When I run the action independently it works fine and saves the file as a .png, when I run this same action as a Droplet it saves the files as .psd. This has worked in previous versions, but I can't figure out why it does not work now. Perhaps something has changed in the File Naming section?
This fails to maintain the .png format in both the Mac and PC versions.

Photoshop :: PS3 Droplet Called From Command Line In...

Sep 8, 2008

I am a researcher interested in anxiety disorders in young children. As part of a functional magnetic resonace brain imaging study we need to compare children's responses to familiar and unfamiliar faces. The latter are no problem, but for the former we need to take pictures of the children's mothers and process them "on the fly" so that they can be incorporated into stimulus sets presented in the MRI machine (otherwise known as the "magnet").

For presentation in the magnet, the images have to be in a particular format. I have created an action that produces the appropriate format, and a PS3 droplet that behaves appropriately (outputs correctly modified files to the stated address) when a Windows XP (SP3) folder is dropped on it.

However, I need to automate the procedure further because it will be executed by individuals with little or no understanding of PS etc.

It occurred to me that I could call my droplet from the XP command line with the folder containing the relevant files as an argument (and then I would be able to incorporate this function into an overall control program).

Photoshop :: CS6 - How To Close Application After Executing Droplet Actions

Dec 6, 2012

I've a Photoshop droplet with set of actions like:
 
Open
Fit image
height:180
width:180
Save
as jpeg
quality:11
Close
 
It does it's work as expected but once the actions are executed on all the images in a folder, I'd like to close the Photoshop as well, which looks tricky in Photoshop droplet. Is there anyway to close Photoshop application at last by action? Or is there any option so that droplet actions will be executed without opening the Photoshop window.

Photoshop :: Advanced Watermarking - Making Droplet From Action

Sep 12, 2012

The way i usually watermark my images is making a droplet from the action in the image attached. But it only works well if the image sizes are not drastically different from each other. i.e. : 5x7 , 7x5

now i have about 200 images all different sizes. i.e. : 5x7, 5x2, 3x4, 10x8, 2x2.. etc.

Im looking for a way to make an action that would recognize the image size and then re-size the watermark to 30% of the image size.

Photoshop :: Droplet: Save As JPEG Relative Path...

Nov 12, 2008

I can't seem to get my droplet working here... using CS3 on PC. Seems like I always hit this problem and have to solve it differently each time.

Anyway, dead simple goal: Create a droplet that converts any file to a JPEG and saves it back to the original file's directory.

if I drag a .gif file from my desktop on to the droplet, it should save a .jpg file with the same name to my desktop. If I drag a file named "testfile.gif" from a folder named "Test", it should create a file named "testfile.jpg" to the "Test" folder. etc, etc.

I have recorded an Action that has a single event: Export. I created that event by using the "Save for Web & Devices" function. The event includes the various JPEG formatting info AS WELL AS a save destination ("In: C:Documents...")

I have tried to create my droplet every which way - specifically:

1) With "Save and Close" selected and "Override Action "Save As" Commands" unchecked

2) With "Save and Close" selected and "Override Action "Save As" Commands" checked

I have also deleted the droplet .exe file before changing this setting (so as to get a "fresh" version).

Nothing works. My .gif files ALWAYS end up in the directory specified in the Action.

Photoshop :: Batch / Droplet Processing Images Into Separate Folders

Jul 2, 2012

I've recently finished a catalog with 700+ images and I'd like to create an index for future use.
 
I would like to have an action which allows me to save a general purpose size image for e-mailing to customers as well as a thumbnail size image for photo invoices. This I could do normally by making two seperate actions for the two, but there is an issue with the categories of image types.
 
Within the catalog the images are of products, and thus are related to a brand. I would like to index the images into a brand based folder, and then into seperate folders for thumbnails and general use.
 
So essentially, the workflow would be something along the lines of
 
Create New Folder for Brand/ Category
Open Image
Resize for General Use
Save Image As... in Brand > General Use
Resize for Thumbnail
Save Image As... in Brand > Thumbnails
Close
 
Repeat for all images in category.
 
Create New Folder for new Brand Category
Open Image
.... Etc etc.
 
Also, is there a way to select a resizing of an image by it's longest/ shortest edge within an action/ droplet? I know Image Processor has this capability but it seems strange there is no ability within an action.

Photoshop :: Creating A Trophy Figure Out Of A Pic

Jan 25, 2006

Attached are two files. First one is my best attempt at this endevour, the only problem with this one is that it isn't gold, I need it to be gold and the other is that I used the Chrome filter and it completely takes over the picture. I want to it to look like a figure but still be able to see that it's Costanza.

The second is the photoshoped version of the pose that I edited. The original photo was incomplete and had a background. I also made it grayscale in order to make it easier to color gold.

Third is a costanza version that I added the foot and part of the leg.

Photoshop :: Trying To Make Website & Need To Figure...

Jun 20, 2009

Ok I'm new to both photoshop and making a website, but I'm diving into both  I know most standard websites have 3 columns to them, the main center website and then the side bars of color/design.  The side bars are what I'm trying to figure out.  The main background color of my website is going to be black, so I would like to have a dark grey side bars but then also wanted to layer 3 different images over the grey, in diagnol rows, parallel with each other, but almost kind of ghosted themselves... Does that make sense? How do I take a picture, and turn it ghosted/transparent almost so that they will show just ever so slightly on the dark grey side bars? Thanks.

Lightroom :: Failed To Export Images With Droplet

Jun 6, 2013

I've Created a droplet and tested it successfully in Photoshop, then I use this droplet by select it in Post-Processing when I export DNG to TIFF in Lightroom, but there's a problem:
 
1. If PS is not opened when I'm exporting images in LR, the droplet will work well, i'll get an processed TIFF

2. If PS is opened before  I'm exporting images in LR, the droplet won't work, then I get an unprocessed TIFF
 
Due to Situation 1, if PS is not opened when I'm exporting images and I tried to exported 30 images with droplet, finally I'll get only ONE image successfully processed, because PS was opened when LR export the  first image.
