FYI - in Windows Ctrl + R opens a Windows Run Box, and does not load files into Camera RAW when Bridge is open.  I had to use the intuitive menu to get them all loaded into Camera RAW. Bridge was actually slower.  Both tests were done with 391 RAW files after fresh reboots. 1 - Having Photoshop invoke Adobe Camera RAW after I have it open all the files and then hacing Camera RAW save the JPGs.  This took 11-minutes and six seconds. 2 - Having Bridge open all the files and then having Bridge open Camera RAW and then having Camera RAW save the files.  This took 11-minutes and 57 seconds.  In addition, Bridge was a little clunky (mouse was slow to respond) as it was loading all the files.  I did not have this problem with Photoshop. The reboot did speed things up though, as with my first Photoshop invocation of Camera RAW, it averaged 2.19 seconds to process each RAW file, but with this set, it averaged 1.7. Don't know if the way that I did things consumed more resources, though.  I have a paid Adobe subscription, so I installed Bridge from within the Creative Cloud App.  So now, the only way to open Bridge is through Creative Cloud, and I saw Creative Cloud in the task tray as a running process as I was converting the files.  Had I just downloaded the free Bridge outside of CC, would I have been able to launch it without having opened up Creative Cloud? ...

If I select multiple *.NRW files in explorer and double click on one of them, only that file opens in Adobe Camera RAW, and I can't otherwise figure out how to open Adobe Camera RAW by itself, or how to open multiple files within it once I have it open, so the only way to accomplish what I needed was to have opened Photoshop, and then open the multiple files from within Photoshop which then launched Adobe Camera RAW.  Once everything showed up in the bottom "film panel" view, I then hit ctrl +a to select all, and started the conversion process.  So, perhaps the way I did this was to have Photoshop "host" Adobe Camera RAW.   Once I started the process, I letf the PC alone.  There may have been two or three Microsoft Edge windows open in the bakground, but nothing was otherwise running. I love the increased speed.  You saved my tons of work and hours!  However, I do welcome any tweaks in the process to speed things up further.  Completely understand if there are none. While we are here, is there any way to get this forum to auto-spell check?  Not a global PC issue, as other forums auto-spell check for me with the Edge browser. ... View more

We have a winner!  This process took 30 minutes and 54-seconds to make high-quality JPGs from the same 848 RAW files that the Photoshop image processing script took 57 minutes and 31-seconds to make. ... View more

Ty - pls advise on the specific steps to do thsi with Adobe camera RAW, as when I open two images with it, the save process only saves the first.  Not sure how to get it to batch process. ... View more

I tried this, but when I open multiple files within Adobe Camers RAW and try to save, it only saves the first file. In any event, I was able to accomplish what I needed by: Photoshop - file - scripts - image processor - select the input and output  - change the image quality to 12 and run.  The process took 57 minutes and 31-seconds to process 847 Nikon RAW - *.NRW files.  This works out to roughly 3.84 seconds per image.  So, I got what I wanted, BUT, if I figure out how to do this another way, will it be faster?  Edit - from another reply, looks like Adobe Camera RAW can do this faster.  I just have to figure out how to get it to process multiple files. ...

I'll try this in a day or so with more than 400 files to see if it works. ... View more

I'm new to this, and when I wrote the script with the Adobe recorder function, I didn't bother to close the files.  So, with my workflow, I either have to keep depressing "N" when asked to save each file when I try to exit Adobe, or use task manager to forcr quit the app.  I'll re-write the script to close the files first. ...

@Sameer K  -  Same behavior with previous versions.  I'm not taking the time to try a beta version.  Same behavior whether the folder is on an external drive or a local drive. I do normal things like adjust contrast and crop.  One trobleshooting step I took was to try and find the process holding up the file to kill it, but I was unable to do so.  In the past, I've played around with killing explorer alltogether and then re-launching a new instance.  A few times, this freed up the folder, but now, it no longer does.

This is a duplicate of my reply two posts up with some edits.  Mods, Can somebody please edit that post and replace it with the below? Ty I figured it out!! Step 1 duplicate layer. Step 2 – unselect the original background layer and only select the layer named “Background Copy.” Step 3 – remove background on the layer named “Background Copy.” Step 4 – Select the layer named “Background Copy” and make adjustments.  Note - one must select the layer icon on the left in order for all the adjustments to be available. Step 5 – duplicate the original background layer again.  Lasso around the rotated subject in the layer named “Background Copy 2”.  Right click around the selection – content aware fill.   Apply – OK Step 6 – Make edits to Background Copy 2. Step 7 – Select the layers called “Background Copy 2” and “Background Copy.”  This shows both edits. Step 8 – save as jpg. I very much appreciate your perseverance.  I think this took so long because you had assumed that I knew some Photoshop basics, such as what a selection is.  I did not. Now, I feel like making an instructional YouTube video on the process, (😊) since the ones I saw didn’t specifically outline the steps.       ... View more

I am also unable to perform the second step - select - modify the copy of the original backgroud layer. ... View more

I can follow the first step by duplicating the oringinal background layer and removing the background from that copy, however, when I attempt your second step  -select - modify, when the original background layer is selected, the "modify" option is not selectable.  Please see the attached and let me know what I'm missing or doing wrong. ...

I can select inverse after I select the subject and get this result: https://i.imgur.com/8S683F2.jpg However, as soon as I hit CTRL +J to make a new layer, the invverse option is no longer available. Pls see: https://i.imgur.com/F70qf7a.jpg ... View more

Here is my workflow with screenshots. Sorry if this is a little overkill, but I don’t want to miss anything. The original photo with my complete PS layout: https://imgur.com/V64kNs2 I then hit CTRL + J to get the second layer – Layer 1 and this is my layout: https://imgur.com/33G5idy I then select subject and this is my layout: https://imgur.com/vdz7PzB Then I hit CTRL + J and this is my layout: https://imgur.com/JR99I2L Now, If I only select layer 2, I see the bird completely isolated from the background, however, the “inverse” button is not functional. See this as proof: https://imgur.com/tJEtHKC The “inverse” button isn’t functional with either of the other layers selected by itself either, but I think I need it to work with the bird isolated. So, I’m at the point where I can make edits to the bird, but I need to isolate the background as a separate layer, made edits to that layer and then move the edited bird back into that layer so I can save it as a jpg. I could also select layer 2 and layer 1 or layer 2 and background, and I now see the edited bird in the original background. Pls see the attached. https://imgur.com/JCEBuu0 So, the only thing I don’t have is the original background isolated as a layer, so I can edit the sky background by itself, then select layer 2 and the edited background layer, and then save the jpg. What do I need to do to accomplish this? Regarding - Did you destroy the original image in the file with the isolated bird? If you kept the original image (as the hidden Background Layer for example) you can duplicate it and use a Selection based on the clipped bird to remove the bird from the background (content-Aware Fill, Generative Fill, …). The locked background layer is present. I already removed the bird from the background. I shouldn’t have to do this again. Also, after I’ve created the layers, when I go to the first copy or original background, I am no longer able to select the subject, and I should not have to use aa hand tool to do the work or selecting it.

I got the full automation working after also recording the last step of me saving the jpg as the highest quality. There are times when I come home from birdwatching sessions and have a lot of sets of 7-shot bursts that that I’m going to want to crop.  You have no idea how much post-processing time you saved me.  In addition, the output of similar shots will now be standardized. Have a good day! ... View more

I saw those descriptions when hovering over the options.  I had oiginally followed your instructions by recording the action set and then running the variant of your script with this code: // Change ALL to NO to disable interactivity when batching var interactive = DialogModes.NO; I then stopped the recording. How do I need to tweak the process in order to get the automation to run to auto-save the highest quality jpgs in the destination directory, using the original file names, and without any prompts? ...

Minor correction.  I just want everything auto-saved in the destination folder using the original file names. ... View more

Getting closer.  Now, when I use file - automate - batch and select the batch set and options, it runs, however, for each jpg in the source directory, I am prompted for the file name, and it defaults to a PSD extension which I have to change to jpg.   Then, the jpg options come up for the save.  Selecting either or both of the Override action "open" and Override action "save as" selectons just disables the output.  The "save as" button on the bottom lest if grayed out. I want this to run and auto-save everything as the highest quality (12) jpg in the destination directory using whatever naming convention I choose in the menu without any prompts. How can I accomplish this? ... View more

I copied over two scripts to the appropriate directory.  One as written, and the other changing All to NO for batch processing as per your instructions here: Change ALL to NO to disable interactivity when batching var interactive = DialogModes.ALL; I've been searching for a while, but can't figure how to batch process using this script.  It would be easier to have a form open and allow me to choose a source directory and destination one.   I found documentation regarding recording an action, but when I open the action window, the play button is disabled. How do I setup batch processing with this.  One I input the data, I would of course want everything auto-saved.   ... View more

Stephen, This is PERFECT!  Exactly what I was looking for.  I really like the forms where I can change the percentages on the fly without having to hand edit the jsk file and re-run. Much appreciated. Have a good night! Mark ... View more
