Question

PS Image processor not recognizing .tif files for conversion

I am trying to batch convert a bunch of .tif files to jpg using PS ver 21.1.1 file>scripts>image processor

When I select the folder it does not recognize any of the files and it is empty so nothing to convert.

These are .tifs exported from NIS elements viewer as 12 bit files.

I can open one up individually and convert to 8bit jpg but cannot do batch??

Does this also affect Bridge’s Export? 

Can you provide one or two of the files?

I am not sure what Bridge export is I am using Adobe PS 21.1.1.

File attached below - it is 12 bit unsure if that is a problem trying to convert multiple files to 8 bit grayscale jpg

thanks

Well that didn't work either = says unsupported format. All I I can see is TIF RGB 8bit so who knows but it seems to be my programs as yours works. Could be something with our university license but seems odd to disallow file conversions.

 

I really appreciate your help = I will resort to individual conversion for now, time consuming but for whatever reason I am able to open and convert individual files just fine!

 

thanks again, Carol


So I tried ONE more thing = I moved some files to my desktop and I was able to batch convert those with Bridge but still NOT PS. I have my files on my OneDrive because I can access them anwhere in the world and they say shared but I have had issues with multiple programs and OneDrive files.

So Bridge does not like the file location. It is a reasonable workaround, I will just put them back when converted.

 

Again sorry to post so much I hope this might help someone else.

Carol
