Image Processor.jsx for PNG

[Mike Witherell]

I opened and edited Image Processor.jsx. Everywhere it said TIFF, I edited to say PNG. 

And it almost worked. It shows up on screen. Alas the save part fails. Too bad I'm such a noob on javascripting! 

But it reminds me that it can be done. 

And it reminds me that PNG should be in Image Processor.jsx; not TIFF. Web wants PNG!

Would anyone help me to troubleshoot my file? 

I'm certain this portion is wrong:

function SaveAsPNG( inFileName, inEmbedICC ) {
	var sfw = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
    	sfw.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
	sfw.PNG8 = false; // use PNG-24
	sfw.transparency = true;    
	doc.info = null; // delete metadata
	}

I can supply the whole Image Processor.jsx upon request, if the above is not enough.

Mike, I think that this would be better placed in either the Photoshop or Bridge forums.

Although it is probably "easy enough" to hack the default Adobe Image Processor script, I would suggest that you spend your time installing the better Image Processor Pro script from xbytor:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/Image%20Processor%20Pro/v3_2%20betas/

Or perhaps the Picture Processor script from Paul Riggott:

Thanks Stephen! I thought I would move it over to a forum where smart people would appreciate where I'm going with this! It has always seemed to me that Image Processor.jsx should take out the TIFF section and add in a PNG section. I just need to add the parts where you select specific attributes for PNG files, and that is where my inexperience stops me.

OK, however, my point was that PNG is a native feature of both of the more capable scripts posted above.

Yes, you are right. I like the simplicity of the built-in version Image Processor.jsx. I hadn't seen the Image Processor PRO.jsx updated in the last 5 years, and the last time I tried to use it, it wouldn't work on my MacBook Pro, but I will try it again. It seems to work fine on my Win10 box.
