2009-09-17T14:04:39 - CSX Shutting down.
Does it always fail at the same image (/Users/babakghazi/Desktop/a life 4 magazines/HH/letters/a/10.jpg)?
The error implies that PS had a problem placing the image as a smart object and thinks that it has no content. When it tries to resize the layer, it fails because there is nothing to transform. This could be happening because either the document is actually empty (or corrupted) or if the PS Smart Object system is having problems for some other reason.
As a work-around, try changing the 'hiperfMode' setting on the Advanced panel to 'Basic' and let me know if that works any better.
I CHANGED 'HIPERFMODE' SETTING TO BASIC AS YOU SAID AND NOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY.
THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP AND THANK YOU FOR THE SCRIPT.
