Multiple WEBP Conversion Script with Recursion

Community Beginner ,

Hi All I've tried getting help on this in multiple places in the community but I think I'm posting in the wrong places. So I'll try here in a new post.

 

I've taken 2 scripts created by @Stephen_A_Marsh  and combined them. The first is a script he wrote to convert files to WEBP and the second is a script with recursive folder process which was created to resize existing WEBP images.

 

For the most part my hybrid seems to work fine but it's failing when processing smaller images whether this is dimensions or file size I'm not entirely sure.

 

At first I though this was only a PNG issue so altered to skip them but the problem still exists.

 

If an expert could take a look and help I'd be so grateful.

After some additional testing on this I can further confirm:

 

In the case of the PNGs, they all apear to be 'Indexed Color' profiles so could it be that the color profile selection in the script isn't working correctly?

 

@Rob35330516ixs7 


The issue appears to be that for Indexed Colour, a convert to profile command retains the Indexed Mode, but converts to the selected profile. I assumed that the mode would change too.

 

Indexed Colour isn't supported by WebP, so that would be the issue.

When I try to open a couple of the small JPGs I get an error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error".

 

This may suggest in the case of the JPGs, the issue is not with the script.

Put the whole thing in a try/catch block to see if that helps find the problems.

Thanks for catching this, I'll need to update my code!

 

To fix, I would suggest changing from:

 

activeDocument.convertProfile("sRGB IEC61966-2.1", Intent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC, true, false);
activeDocument.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;

 

To adding an extra line to explicitly set the colour mode after the profile conversion:

 

activeDocument.convertProfile("sRGB IEC61966-2.1", Intent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC, true, false);
activeDocument.changeMode(ChangeMode.RGB);
activeDocument.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;

Hi @Stephen_A_Marsh thank you for taking the time to look at this issue and apologies for posting in multiple places. I originally posted as a comment in the other post but when I looked, it seemed to have vanished so I started this post.

 

I've added in your extra line and this has fixed the issue with the Indexed Color PNGs.

 

Once again many thanks 👍
