Is there a way to save jpeg image to TIFF in batch action without the 'save as' windows poping up?

Is there a way to save a jpeg image to TIFF in batch action without the 'save as' windows popping up?

Let's say I'm batching an action that creates an additional layer to the jpeg images. But it halts the action with 'save as' windows popping up.
Is there a script that I can add to my existing actions to bypass this and save them as layered TIFF automatically?

I haven't tested it, however, you may need to add a flatten step before saving, or ensure that your TIFF save options include saving layered files or exclude this.

A screenshot of the Action with all steps expanded and visible (not in button mode) and a screenshot of the Batch command setting used when running the action would be helpful.

There are also scripts:

I see no issue with running an action that adds one layer to the layers stack when using the built-in Image Processor script.

You can run in Photoshop: File > Scripts > Image processor and batch save JPGs as TIFFs  

As a matter of interest, why do you want to do this?

Yes, you can save JPEG images to TIFF format in a batch process without the 'Save As' dialog popping up by using batch processing tools or scripts in software that supports automation. Here are a few methods to achieve this:

1. Using Adobe Photoshop:

If you have Adobe Photoshop, you can create an action and then automate it through a batch process.

Steps:

1. Create an Action:

   • Open Photoshop and go to Window > Actions to open the Actions panel.
   • Click on the "Create New Action" button, name it (e.g., "JPEG to TIFF"), and hit "Record."
   • Open a JPEG image.
   • Go to File > Save As, select TIFF format and any options you desire, then save it. Close the file.
   • Stop recording the action.

2. Batch Process:

   • Go to File > Automate > Batch.
   • Select your created action from the Actions drop-down.
   • Choose your source folder (where the JPEGs are located).
   • Specify a destination folder for the TIFF files.
   • Make sure to check “Override Action ‘Save As’ Commands” to avoid the dialog box.
   • Click OK to start the batch process.

2. Using ImageMagick:

ImageMagick is a free, powerful command-line tool for batch image processing. If you’re comfortable using the command line, you can use it to convert JPEGs to TIFFs without any pop-up windows.

Steps:

1. Install ImageMagick: Make sure you have ImageMagick installed on your system. You can download it from

2. Run the Conversion Command:
   Open your terminal (command prompt or shell) and navigate to the directory containing your JPEG files. Then run the following command:

   mogrify -format tiff *.jpg

   This command will convert all JPEG files in the current directory to TIFF format without opening any save dialogs.

3. Using GIMP:

GIMP, a free image editor, also allows for batch processing using a script.

Steps:

1. Install GIMP: Make sure you have GIMP installed on your computer.

2. Use BIMP (Batch Image Manipulation Plugin):

   • Install the BIMP plugin for GIMP.
   • Open BIMP from File > Batch Image Manipulation.
   • Add images, choose the output format as TIFF, and set the output directory.
   • Start the process to convert without any pop-ups.

4. Using Windows PowerShell:

If you want a quick way without third-party applications, you can use a PowerShell script if you are on Windows.

Example PowerShell Command:

• Install a suitable library that handles image conversion, like ImageSharp or Magick.NET, and create a PowerShell script to automate the conversion process.
