Apart from using Adobe Bridge or another browser to eyeball the results, it's possible to script this to various degrees. The following script will check selected files for a strip of black pixels and write the suspect file names and paths to a text file on the desktop. For processing speed, it will make a temporary crop of the canvas width to 3px wide before checking the histogram, which may not always be perfect and could possibly lead to some false-positives being reported.   /* Log Files With Black Full Width Line to Text File Fast.jsx Stephen Marsh v1.0 - 7th March 2025 https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/black-horizontal-line-across-the-image-after-save-to-tif/m-p/15195817 Note: It is assumed that the documents are RGB mode */ #target photoshop // Open dialog to select files var theFiles = File.openDialog("Select files to check for full width 0r0g0b pixels", true); if (theFiles) { processFiles(theFiles); } else { alert("No files selected."); } // Function to check histogram for 0r0g0b function checkHistogramForBlack(doc) { var histo = doc.histogram; return histo[0] > 0; } // Function to process files function processFiles(theFiles) { var resultFile = new File(Folder.desktop + "/BlackPixelsCheckResults.txt"); resultFile.open("w"); resultFile.writeln("Files possibly containing full width 0r0g0b pixels:\n"); // Counter for files with 0r0g0b pixels var blackFilesCount = 0; // Loop through files for (var i = 0; i < theFiles.length; i++) { var theFile = theFiles[i]; var doc = app.open(theFile); // Resize canvas to 3px wide, yes it's a hack but it works much faster than looping through all pixels... // Some edge cases could be falsely logged, but it's probably good enough for most cases! doc.resizeCanvas(UnitValue(3, "px"), doc.height, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER); if (checkHistogramForBlack(doc)) { resultFile.writeln(theFile.fsName); blackFilesCount++; // Increment counter when 0r0g0b pixels are found } doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); } // End of script notification resultFile.close(); alert("Processing complete!\n" + "Total files checked: " + theFiles.length + "\n" + "Files with possible full width black pixels: " + blackFilesCount + "\n" + "Results saved to: " + resultFile.fsName); resultFile.execute(); }   Copy the code text to the clipboard Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not in a word processor) Paste the code in Save as a plain text format file – .txt Rename the saved file extension from .txt to .jsx Install or browse to the .jsx file to run (see below) https://prepression.blogspot.com/2017/11/downloading-and-installing-adobe-scripts.html ...

I think Stephen might be right. Although you don’t need a preview to know that an image is going to be bigger or smaller, a preview can be very practical and useful if you are trying to anticipate whether the details in your 50% enlargement are going to look their best depending on whether you choose Automatic, Preserve Details, Bicubic, or Nearest Neighbor resampling (that isn’t even all the options).

As designed doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing for everyone who uses the tool!   I manage thousands of assets that are tied to an ID, so the PSD and the exports live in the same directory. Point being, the majority of my use-case is that I need to save JPGs alongside my PSDs.    For example – I have a folder that is /SomeProject/0012/ In that folder is my source file, usually /SomeProject/0012/0012-Source.jpg Then, I create my PSD, usually /SomeProject/0012/0012-Main.psd – it does this by default :white_heavy_check_mark: Then when I go to export my PSD to jpg, it takes me to the previous ID I was working in :  /SomeProject/0011/0012-Main.jpg Obviously, it is incredibly annoying for me to redirect to my most recent folder so that I can save the export to the right directory : /SomeProject/0012/0012-Main.jpg   That said, I ocassionaly dump to a global exports folder so the as-designed behavior is useful in that case : /SomeProject/GlobalExports/   Solution : an option that let's you switch from your app-wide most recent save location vs. your export most recent save location... such as this!   When adobe switched from "save for web" to "Export As", it added the following option in settings.

@Bojan Živković - As far as I know, actions record the specific mask details for that individual image, so scripting this has the same limitations.   Actions are the "old school" way of batch processing inside Photoshop. The Camera Raw filter isn't always going to play nicely with Actions or scripts.   @Mike35315067k4t9 - Do this outside of Photoshop, directly in  the Adobe Camera Raw plugin on RGB JPEG/TIFF files, where a preset using AI masks works correctly when batch processing the applied settings from one image to all selected images in the filmstrip.

Hello again Stephen, Thanks again for your imput. I have noticed that occasionally the crop as a recorded action will work as expected when using the newest versions of photoshop but, sadly, when they are continually used they will fail again. Please keep in mind that I use the crop command as a recorded action on countless images in my workflow. Failure is simply not an option for many reasons but mostly because of efficiency. My work around as I have mentioned in other responses is to simply install version 25.11. This version runs as expected. What happens, though, is I open photoshop to begin a session and run the command just to find the crop handles missing. What has happened is Creative Cloud has updated without my permission. The fix is to revert to 25.11 and begin the session again. One concern I have is that reverting to 25.11 may become unavailable. So, as I've worked I have considered what my work around might become. I beleive the only solution under that circumstance will be to remove the crop command from the action and crop manually before running the other commands included in my current action. Not my first choice but can be done. I appologise that I seem to be unmovable regarding this specific problem but missing crop handles and sluggish response is unacceptable when it works in one version and not another. Thanks again, Marc ... View more
