Question

The command "Feather" is not currently available in image processor

I often receive photos that are high resolution - and our website needs them smaller.

In Photoshop, I go to "Scripts" and run the "Image Processor" - and every single photo brings up a message that says "The command "Feather" is not currently available" which requires that I hit "continue" on every single photo.

Is there a way I can change something on Photoshop to not get this command?

Photoshop Malfunctions in saving a group of PSD or PSB files to a lesser file ie JPG

This is within the process::

1. Within Adobe Bridge select a group of files or an entire directory of files

2. go to Bridge tools / then to Photoshop / then to Image processor / then select quality if jpg files /

3. At the palette which appears in the bottom left > Untick the box which says run action >> repeat untick this box

and then go to the top right of the file and press " Run" and the thing will work

[ yes, photoshop engineers live in a different world >> but they may be attempting to save the layers

as in save to Tiff files ] You probably want lesser files for other people or even for something which Bridge can see in less than

5 minutes

What you will achieve here is a continuous uplift of the psd or PSB file and then save as per you direction.

Repeat Untick the > Run action box

That would come up if you use the command feather with nothing selected.

Do you have an action set that uses feather? Make sure this is not checked.

It sounds like your Image Processor setup includes running an action that includes applying a feather to a selection. There are a few solutions:

At the bottom of the Image Processor dialog in section 4 Preferences, deselect Run Action if you don't need to run it
Keep the Action but edit it to
- Delete the Feather step
- Set a selection (for instance, Select > All) before the Feather step - You can record setting the selection and after stopping the recording, reorder it so that Set Selection comes before Feather

Yes, this happens to me all the time Myra, with various downloads of Photoshop. My files are big and have many cut-out selections in separate layers and with guess a s you go feathers in them. As soon as I took the tick out of the >> Run Action < command [ see below ], the problem has gone. But not the steaming from the laptop when it hits a 30-gigabyte file,

So you want to run action when processing files but you do not want to see warning dialogues? Is my guess wrong or right?
