Batch Processing - How Can I Add Multiple Images On One Source File And Save

Hi everyone, I introduced myself in a former thread. Name is Katie. I'm not new to Photoshop but am new to the more murky world of saving formats for various uses, printing, etc. I am in grad school, we're between semesters, and of all things they haven't really talked about saving! This week I was freelancing and saving to .JPG and .PNG, multiple images.

Problem:
I edited 150 images of product for a retail website on photoshopCS6. Company requires three sizes: two in .jpg, one in .png. Each image was in its own layer, in a group folder; a drop shadow effect was applied to the whole folder. For ea size requirement, I changed the canvas, resized all images at once to fit within it and ran the script.

I was able to run the Script on PS to batch save the .jpgs, and they RETAINED their canvas pixel dimensions in each image (700x525; 170x170). When I ran the same script to PNG-24, it worked but it DID NOT retain the canvas size and they were all wildly different.

I did some research, and found that people had to install script fixes to do this. I installed Dr. Russell's script for Image Processor Pro that should work in PS and Bridge. I tried it, still didn't work to retain size of PNGs. Am I simply using it wrong? Is that the only way to batch save certain file formats?

Because the images were due this morning, I individually saved every png ("save as" not "web/Devices") to ensure they were all 300x350.

I need to know there's a better way to do this for all other file formats, so I don't have to painstakingly save each image.

I am building a composite image, create a new image clean white background and drag from bridge the images I want to use in the composite. Here's my issue...the images I have brought in are automatically turned into smart objects..( love those) so I open one of those placed S/O images and edit/adjust it then save and close...like it should the composite reflects the change. I can open and close that s/o as many times and make tons of changes...again awesome....but I may want to use that same image by itself and want to retain those changes....but when I go to the folder that I took the image from, the original image does not reflect any of those changes.

So my question is, where on my computer does the edited version of the placed image get stored...I'm guessing a temp folder somewhere, but can't find it!! Any body know?

Thanks

Trying to figure out how I can batch watermark images with different PPI.
My current method:
Open Actions:
Create action-Watermark
Record
I open the image I want to watermark, all horizontal/vertical images I place my watermark symbol (.png file) - File - Place Resize the watermark, then vertically and horizontally align. Save End Record

Outcome: I get many images with different sizes of the watermark, this is because the PPI is different I figured out. Now all I'd like to know is how can I get the same size watermark on all images without changing the PPI?

I have about 700 RAW images I want to batch process through PS.
All I want to do is reduce their size from 5184 X 3456 to 900 X 600 @ a resolution of 150 and save as JPG files.

Since RAW files run through ACR first and there's no way to reduce images size I just run it and end up with full size jpg's.
I run the JPG's again through Bridge and select Tools|Photoshop|Image Processor and selected "Open first image to apply settings" but when I run this there is no pause to reduce the file size.
It just runs through all the images allowing me no option to "Apply Settings".

I realize I can record an action to do this and use Photoshop|Batch but I'd like to know why this isn't working.
Thanks guys.

Hello! Very much so a noob question . ive done my research and im just here for a very definite tutorial . im learning how to resize images from Big to small. Only problem is i cant seem to keep the high quality resolution . Ive included both images .. the "moonshine" collage is what id like to minimize. The "Whiskey" image is able to be downsized with no resolution loss when i downsize why? ID also like to keep them PNG or transparent in the background .

the moonshine collage image is one i made in photoshop cs6.

id like to make them W:280 pixels H:110 pixels/100 pixels



Theres a screen shot of the photo in place . The GREEN image is the image in low resolution , which i cannot figure why . the other RED image is how id like all my images to appear . There both pretty big original images as well ..

Hi all,

I have a problem with an image that I would appreciate your help with.

As you can see below, the image is a t-shirt shape made up of several images like a collage/mosaic (ignore the fact that the same image is repeated, they will eventually be different images).

I have achieved this by applying clipping masks to the different image layers over the top of the t-shirt image. What I now want to do is individually save all of these images so that they can be used as buttons in Adobe Flash. This is the part I am having trouble with.

I have tried using the slice tool which does work however the saved slices are all square shaped when obviously each individual image is not always a square/rectangle. Even saving them as a .png with a transparent background, I still can't use them as when they are brought into Flash, the whole square area becomes clickable as a button which I don't always want.

Hope I've made sense there!

Thank you.

I was wondering if its possible to use Generate > Image Asset to create folders out of Layer Groups and each layer inside to be a file in that folder? So far I have only been able to generate the layer group as a single image rather than a folder.


If this is not possible and I must add a prefix of (Folder name)/imagename.jpeg ; then is there a way to still add a dimension prefix to a layer in addition to a subfolder prefix? Example: Folder1/ 100 x 100 Image1.png currently, if i do this, it will generate an image with the 100 x 100 as part of the name rather than recognizing it as a dimension.


Thanks!

Hi All,

Request for assistance to create an action in Photoshop cs6 to Batch Change image background to white.

I need to batch convert high resolution product images through layer/vector mask +/or channels without using the selection tools.

Have tried to create white background layer and place original image made transparent behind ,but did not work for me.

If you can show the way for this or create and upload link to it,that would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Hey Guys,

I am a freelance Photographer who primarily shoots night events (shows, clubs, etc.) and I am having some issues with my images coming out darker when I save them as JPEGS. I am shooting with a Canon 60D (Adobe RGB) and at the moment editing the photos in the Adobe RAW Editor (Adobe RGB). When I am editing the photos in the RAW Editor they appear to be in 24bit, but when I save them as JPEG (Adobe RGB) they appear to be more like 32bit (much much darker). Any ideas as to why this is happening? I would really just like the finished product to be what I'm seeing in my RAW Editor.

---> Side note, I just realized the images are only darker when viewing them through Windows Photo Viewer and Facebook (where the photos will primarily be housed). Does anyone know why the images are vastly darker when viewed through these applications? This is definitely a viewer problem. So how can I make my images look how they are supposed to while using things like Facebook?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

The first screenshot of the image in the RAW Editor, the second of the JPEG in Widows Photo Viewer.

***UPDATE***

None of my replies appear to be going through so I'll just post them here. Before posting this thread I attempted to save them as sRGB but it still had the same affect. I also just tried Steve's Save for Web method and have the same issue.

I believe I am saving them properly as JPGs (I will supply a screen shot in this post). MrTom, when I say 32bit what I meant was if you are editing an image in Photoshop and you change the color mode from 8bit to 32bit, it looks similar to the drastic darkness as seen with 32bit.

A mini solution I have discovered is to +70 the Black levels, this evens out the photos to roughly what I was going for once they save. I would greatly prefer an actual fix, but this will do if all else fails.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Hi,

I am learning Photoshop in the hope of printing posters. I have questions regarding printing. Originally, when you create an image the resolution is set to 72 pixels/inch. I have learned I need to switch that to 300 pixel/inch.

1)Will I have to recreate all my images from scratch in 300 resolution?

2)Do I lose a lot of quality on the final product if i convert 72 -> 300.

3)My images are 11x17, when i hit 100% and view rulers, it shows my image at roughly a 3:1 ratio, why does it do this?

4)Can I view what a final printed image will look like with in Photoshop?

5)How do I preserve quality when switching to 300 resolution?

6)Say I use an image that is originally 600x600, will switching to 300 resolution make the new image horrible?

I may have more questions with as these get answered,
Thank you,
Geokatz
