I have a bunch of ImageReady droplets that I use to process images for a website. The droplets do things like resize the images, add borders to them, and save them in various directories.
I'm trying to create Photoshop versions of these droplets. I couldn't find a way to convert the droplets to Photoshop directly (if there is a way to do that, I'd love to hear about it!), so I tried creating new Photoshop droplets that do the same things as the ImageReady ones. I managed to reproduce the sequence of actions in Photoshop, but when I tried to run the droplets, I got a very unhelpful error message. (It was just the standard ''Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close'' message, except that when I hit ''End Now,'' the program didn't close.)
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help me out?
Thanks.
Converting ImageReady droplets to...does the action that you created to make the droplet run fine when used from the Actions panel?
Converting ImageReady droplets to...I'm not sure what you mean.
[Edit] Okay, I just figured out what you mean. Yes, it works fine when I run it from the Actions panel.
i mean open a image and run the action that you made a droplet out of on it to see if it runs without any errors
Yes, it works fine when I do that.
ok, then try running that action using File-%26gt;Automate-%26gt;Batch on those images and see if you get any errors
That works fine as well.
you've got me, if it works with the Batch command then i don't see any reason for it to not work with a droplet as they're basically the same thing. Wait, how are you trying to ''run'' them? To use droplets you have to drag a folder or file over the icon of the droplet
Yes, that's what I'm doing.
Maybe it's something to do with the options I select in the ''Create Droplet'' pane? I've just been selecting the name of the action and a place to save it; is there something else I should be checking off or more information that I need to enter?
the options are the same, the only difference between Batch and Create Droplet is that Batch asks for the files that you want processed while the Create Droplet asks you where to save the droplet
Hmm. Okay... so what the heck is going on here, then? :/
