Image Processor "Sorry, I could not process the following.. *All of them*"

Hey! So I have about 150 files open in Photoshop. They are for a client and the client individually wanted certain effects on every file. The files were originally RAW files, first imported into Lightroom as .dng, then all of my tonal edits were done in Lightroom. I then opened all of the images as Smart Objects in Photoshop, through Lightroom's script. I then did the individual work needed on each image in Photoshop assuming it would be no hassle to save them using the Image Processor script. When it came time to save, I wished to save them as .tif files using the Image Processor. I selected the target files as Open Files, set my destination folder, chose TIF format, and hit run at the top of the small window. It shortly after says a very quick no source images, that disappears and then it says "Sorry, I could not process the following" and then lists all 150 open images. This is a big issue as I am on a time crunch.

Any help or alternate idea for how to save all of these open images as TIF or even PSD at this point is extremely appreciated. I feel there must be a fix or alternate route opposed to the old fashion one by one save as..

Thanks!

It look like IPP will not process new document either.

It can. I added an option that can be set in the script to take care of this problem.

//

// PROCESS_UNSAVED_IMAGES

// This will enable the processing of unsaved images. To make this work,

// the Folder for an unsaved image is ~/Desktop. If a file extension is

// not in the image name, .psd is used.

//

ImageProcessorOptions.PROCESS_UNSAVED_IMAGES = true;

By default, it is set to false to get the 'traditional' behavior. Setting it to true will let IPP process new, unsaved images.

I did a quick test and I think it you look at the 150 document list you will find the it is all wrong.   It is listing files that do not exists.  Your document are new and have  no backing file.  Yet the list of 150 documents show a path.   So it a bug in the image processor script it does not handle new document correctly.

Here I did a quick test tried to save 3 new open documents as tiff  and got your failure. I then save then as PSD so they are no longer new document. Than ran the Image processor to save tif file and had no problem.

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

It's a bit more robust for handling file types and also has a lot more options.

I really appreciate the research put in! Between you and xbytor2 I was able to figure it all out! My main issue was I wanted to use Image Processor to do my initial saves, to save me time. SO it posed an issue it seems based off your research. Thanks again!
