Your question isn't clear. Are you talking about common save behavior, where a temp file is created, old file deleted, and then new file renamed to prevent data loss?

Randomize your data in Excel first. There is no built-in way to create data-driven graphics with randomized data. As for fonts, that's pretty easy with a Javascript. If you aren't a programmer, you may need to hire someone to do this all for you.

Ah nevermind. Had to use the Thumbnail object, not thumbnail.spec var xmp = new XMPMeta(thumb.synchronousMetadata.serialize());

Doesn't work. It throws an error of "undefined is not an object" with both RAW and JPEG source files. And the Object Model Viewer says that Thumbnail.synchronousMetadata returns undefined if the node doesn't support embedded metadata.

I'm writing a replacement JPEG export panel for Bridge, and currently working on copying metadata. I have it working for any source format with embedded metadata using the testing code stub below. But this doesn't work with RAW files, presumably due to using XMP sidecars. Note that the "SnpInspectMetadata.jsx" sample included in the Bridge CC SDK also fails, in fact it throws an exception when trying to run new XMPFile(). So how do I get metadata from RAW files? Do I have to test for sidecars? Looking at one with a text editor, there are lots of extra fields. My script works otherwise to export JPEG files, and copies metadata from image formats other than RAW. this.run = JPEGExport(); function JPEGExport(){ var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("psd, jpg, png, tif, gif, CR2, nef"); if(thumbs.length != 0){ if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript"); for(var i = 0;i < thumbs.length;i++){ if(thumbs.spec instanceof File){ var thumb = thumbs; var selectedFile = thumb.spec; var oldXmpFile = new XMPFile(selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ); var oldXmp = oldXmpFile.getXMP(); var bm = new BitmapData(thumbs.spec); if(bm instanceof BitmapData){ var fullName = thumbs.name; var finalDotPosition = fullName.lastIndexOf("."); if(finalDotPosition > -1){ repname = fullName.substr(0 , finalDotPosition); } } var exportFilePath = thumbs.parent.spec + "/" + repname +"_new.jpg"; var exfile = new File(exportFilePath); bm.exportTo(exfile); var newthumb = exfile.spec; var myXmpFile = new XMPFile(exfile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE); if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(oldXmp)){ myXmpFile.putXMP(oldXmp); myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY); } } } } }

This is a normal part of developing software. APIs change and sometimes break your code. Sorry, JJ, but you come across as way too angry here. Use the sample code that was generously provided to deal with the API change and quit ranting.

This is nowhere near enough information. Where did the original file come from, what container format (AVI, MOV, WMV are examples) and codec (h.264, h.265, MPEG-1, AVCHD, among many) are used, and how large is it? Video is resource-intensive and an older MacBook Pro may not have enough memory to handle video editing. Or, it could be a format that Photoshop doesn't support. Does it play in QuickTime Player or VLC? You may need to convert it to another format before editing.

You CAN'T save changes to RAW files (although the original camera vendor would have the RAW specs and could presumably do so if they wanted- but Adobe can't.) So your idea is impossible from a technical standpoint.

There is a script called DIY Metadata which reads metadata from a file and applies it in Bridge. You could add some glue to auto-generate a .csv or tab-delimited file and run it if you have programming skills.

The problem is still there in the latest Bridge CC 2018. I ALWAYS get it on large folders, but it sometimes even happens on folders with five or ten files too. Windows Explorer can list a 10000 JPEG folder in a few seconds. Cyberduck and cURL will get a 10000-file folder listing ACROSS THE INTERNET from a remote ftp server in just a few seconds. Meanwhile, Bridge takes several minutes to read a comparable sized folder. Bridge also reloads the entire file list if you delete or rename a file. I can't switch to Lightroom because I rely on a bunch of JavaScripts and Image Processor Pro, and none of it works in Lightroom.

So don't support layered files. Upon import, send the list of unsupported files to Photoshop and have Photoshop open and resave them (assuming Photoshop is installed.) See my feature idea below.

Lightroom Classic will throw an error if you try to import PSD files which were saved without a flattened layer (Maximize Compatibility unchecked.) Besides being a poor design decision (can't even read Adobe's own native file format), the program offers no help beyond giving a list of unsupported files. Fixing the problem is left to the user. Why not, if Photoshop is present on the system, have a preference to convert unsupported files in the background? Lightroom would send the list to Photoshop, Photoshop would open the files and save them with Maximize Compatibility, and Lightroom could then import them. This seems like a fairly easy idea to implement.

They don't even have support for non-flattened PSD files (without Maximize Compatibility) after all these years. I'm not holding my breath.

I don’t have the settings handy, they are on my machine at work. And yes, I REALLY REALLY REALLY know EXACTLY what I need to do and why. No, a script won’t work for me. Now please, either provide a specific answer or don’t reply with something off-topic. I need to use Batch Rename to JUST remove file extensions. Not another tool or script, and not anything else.

After some testing, the CC 2017 output module can be made to work in CC 2018 and will generate the same web galleries as before. No, I'm not going to explain how, beyond it being fairly trivial. But if I could do it in a few minutes, Adobe certainly could. Adobe is deprecating Flash so this removal may be tied to that. I'm hoping for the promised major re-write of Bridge to fix a lot of other issues and maybe web output will be added back in. I suspect that the Bridge maintenance team is small and didn't have time to address things like that, which is why that feature is gone.

I don't believe that any non-Adobe software will read those edits. You need to export your RAW files before the subscription expires so you have TIFF/PSD/JPEG files to work with in another program.

Open your foreground image Canvas Size to 1728x960 Place the background image into a new layer above Swap the background and foreground layers (Layer Order) Optionally add text ("Susie's 2nd Birthday") Optionally save as PSD Flatten, save or save as, close You can batch this from Bridge easily. You could also do this with a JavaScript that cycled through a folder of images but there is no need.

I have some 150,000 images taken with an A100, A700, and A850. Unfortunately, my entire Sony system was stolen a few years ago. The insurance money bought me new Canon gear which is fantastic, but I have no way to generate lens profiles as i no longer have the lenses. I mostly used a Minolta 50mm f/1.7, Minolta 70-200 f/4 beercan, and Minolta 28-135 f/4-4.5. All of those were and are popular and good-quality lenses. Bottom line is that I have no way to correct any of my old RAW files. :sigh:

On the Mac, its pretty easy to have a watched folder and an Automator action which would save out various sizes. Export (let's say) to full resolution JPEG and then resize those using Automator. You can also use Bridge and Image Processor Pro with Photoshop. I have not tested but I believe you can create a Photoshop action droplet and specify that as a post-export action in Lightroom, but for batch processing, Bridge is MUCH better.

Seriously? You are disabling Microsoft security updates so you can run 12 year old software? This is a TERRIBLE idea. There will be side-effects all right, sooner or later your computer will be pwned and either part of a botnet, have a cryptolocker on it, or just have data stolen. This situation is a message from God that its time to move on from CS2.
