Image Processor Pro not available in Bridge CC 2018

[Polycontrast]

After updating to Photoshop CC 2018 and Bridge CC 2018 the Image Processor Pro (IPP) does not display under the Bridge > Tools > Photoshop menu.

The IPP dependencies were copied from the Photoshop 2017 to Photoshop 2018. The IPP can be accessed from Photoshop CC 2018 > File > Automate > Image processor Pro.. but not from Bridge CC 2018.

Currently, Photoshop CC 2017 and Bridge CC 2917 are installed locally and the IPP does display under the Bridge > Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor Pro...

Which IPP version have Mac users been able to successfully install in Bridge CC 2018 in OSX High Sierra?

Environment:

OSX High Sierra

MacBook Pro 2015

[JJMack]

Make sure all the bridges startup scripts are enabled

[Polycontrast]

Yes, I checked that. They are all enabled and I am not able to see the IPP in Br CC 2018.

[JJMack]

Are you sure you have all the startup scripts I show enabled on your system. Including Image Processor Pro start up script. it is in this folder and its name is photoshop_ximage_processor_pro.jsx  from the image processor pro download.

[Polycontrast]

The photoshop_ximage_processor_pro.jsx is not listed in the OSX Bridge start up scripts and I have no way of enable it.

The files is located in the Photoshop directory according to the installation instructions for a Mac.

[JJMack]

I use windows you may have found a mac problem the Startup script seems to be "Dr. Browns's Services" which you show as checked in your Bridge Startup Scripts.

If you look in "photoshop_ximage_processor_pro.jsx" you should see this

[Polycontrast]

In a Mac the startup script photoshop_ximage_processor_pro.jsx is listed as the Dr.Brown's Services under the Bridge preferences Startup Scripts.

To correct the issue, I have disabled/enabled all scripts, remove/reinstall/re-enable the script without success.

Now, in Bridge CC 2017 the IPP is listed under the Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor Pro..

Apparently Bridge CC 2018 is not able to communicate with the script.

Has anyone using a Mac with OSX High Sierra been able to successfully install an run the IPP?

[jahaik]

I am also having this same problem, all the script files are in the correct location but the script does not appear in photoshop or bridge. This has not been a problem for me with the past few versions of OSX/Photoshop

[JJMack]

So far the those reporting this problem are  Using CC 2018 on a Mac.

[Polycontrast]

Check and see if the IPP listed under PSCC 2018 > About Plugins.

[jahaik]

It shows up like yours in the "About Plug-ins" but does not appear under "File > Scripts"

Thanks xbytor!

[xbytor2]

I'm not ignoring you folks. Waiting for a new CC key from Adobe then I'll try and get this straightened out.

Same here on El Capitan. Bridge 2018 does not load any of the scripts, but NIK. They are enabled in the preferences, but are actually not in the Bridge Script folder. I have copied them in there manually from Photoshop, but Bridge gives error messages.

They work fine when I start them from Photoshop.

UPDATE: Had to install the latest Photoshop and then manually copy the scripts and presets over from the previous version, then Bridge  2018 recognized them. Take a note of the folder hosting the xml presets from IPP if you use them; IPP will not find them on first run !!

[jahaik]

Yeah I can get IPP to show up in the Tools>Photoshop Menu in Bridge if I copy the script file to Bridge's Startup Scripts folder, but it just launches Photoshop and then does nothing...I just tried the latest update for everything as well and no dice...Would REALLY like my output recipes back, I forgot how terrible the built in image processor is!

[Jens Gaethje]

I was able to move all IPP files from the old photoshop script folders to the new by hand.

Same in Bridge and then started everything again and it worked.

I have tried to follow this thread but I'm struggling. Can someone enlighten me, please?

I used to use Image Processor Pro as an extension in version 2015 and have files stored on a separate hard drive as an installation backup. The file is "ImageProcessorPro-3_2b5.zxp"

But I cannot find extension manager not can I see how to add these from the desktop Creative Cloud app. I cannot get to the Adobe extension web page, it just doesn't want to load.

I'm running PS CC v2018 on a Win10 machine.

Will this file run on my version of PS CC? If so, how do I install it?

I know I'm a bit dim but this is driving me mad.

Thanks.

Ben

The zxp file will not work with any CC releases. You will have to do an install with the zip file. Installation instructions are included. I'm not sure if they work for v2018 (the only problems I've heard of are on the Mac) but I am working on a new release that I hope to kick out the door that has a few new features and bug fixes.

[jahaik]

awesome! do you have a mailing list or anything of the like that you use to notify people of new releases? I still haven't gotten cc 2018 to work on my mac but have been making due with the stock image processor in the meantime. would love to know when there's a new version

[xbytor2]

When I drop a new release, I post in the scripting forum and the main PS forum.

[BenElliott-UK]

I have followed your directions and manually installed the files highlighted in the folders required for mu 64-bit Win 10 machine. I ran the script from Bridge. PS crashed but, I re-ran the script from Bridge and everything worked well so I am thinking that all is well until you succeed in creating a stable version for PS 2018.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there xbytor!

All was working on CC 2019 (or 20 but I do not see that in applications) until the last update

Bridge is now 9.0.3.279

PS 20.0.4 now it does not. Says to refer to the log.

I have done the "usual manual install of IPP.

The regular Image processor does work.

Of course I have to process a big bunch of files....

Do you have an idea?

Many thanks as always,

Jessica

[JJMack]

What does not work? On Windows IPP seems to wor fine

[Chica_Sands]

Happy for you!

I am on Mac

Mojave  10.14.4

The IPP window opens from Bridge, but it does not process the files.

Says to check the log. The log says Error

I get the empty sub folders with the correct names.

Still using IPP-3_2b5 version

Thanks

Jessica

You will most likely need to do the manual install document in Image Processor Pro document and Mac user have reported that the Bridge startup script for ipp is listed as Dr Browns Services.

computer. The path location for the files is indicated in red. {Version} should be replaced by

the version of Adobe Photoshop installed.

Macintosh Users:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 – Locate the files named Image Processor Pro.jsx, Image Processor

Pro.xml, and the folders icons and Image Processor Pro in the downloaded folder.

a. Image Processor Pro.jsx

Step 2 –Place these four items from Step 1 into the Scripts folder. Open your

Macintosh hard disk window (originally named Macintosh HD which is the Root System).

Place the 4 items as follows.

Remember; only move these four files to this location.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3 – Locate the file named photoshop_ximage_processor_pro.jsx from the downloaded

Step 4 – Place this one item into the Adobe Photoshop startup folder at the following location

on your computer:

{Version} / Adobe Photoshop

Remember; only move this one file to this location.

[Chica_Sands]

Yes indeed.

I am processing urgent stuff through the "regular and not so many options" IP but I have captured images of an old thread (I am the Chica Sands strange I must have changed my ID... )

I will have a look into that later.

Many thanks for your help !!!
