P: Unified Batch Processor across Lightroom / Photoshop / Bridge

The current workflow for batch processing is fragmented and inefficient. Simple batch tasks require switching between Lightroom, Photoshop, and Bridge — often using outdated or redundant panels like Image Processor, Export Presets, Actions, or Scripts.

What we need is a single, unified batch processing tool that allows us to:

  • Convert between formats: TIFF, PSD, JPEG, PNG, WebP

  • Change color spaces (e.g., ProPhoto → sRGB → FOGRA39)

  • Resize images by long edge, width, height, percentage, or megapixel target

  • Rename files using dynamic templates (EXIF time, sequence, metadata)

  • Apply actions, develop presets, ICC profiles

  • Preserve or modify metadata

 

 

All of this should be achievable without manually chaining exports across three different apps with conflicting settings and limited output options.

A proper cross-application batch engine is long overdue — especially for photographers working with thousands of files across color-managed workflows.
