How to Trigger Image Processing Profile via Workflow for Existing Assets in DAM

Question

Hi all,We are using AEM as a Cloud Service and have configured an Image Processing Profile that calls an App Builder to perform some Photoshop action against some images to generate a specific rendition (e.g., photoshopped.psd, rendition.png) when assets are uploaded into a designated folder.Now, we have a requirement where:Assets are already available in the DAM (in any folder).Authors should be able to manually run a workflow on a selected asset.The workflow should:Trigger the processing profile to generate the rendition (even though the asset is not newly uploaded).Once the rendition is available, separate it as a new asset (this post-processing logic already exists).I want to know:Is there a supported way to invoke a Processing Profile from a workflow step?What’s the best practice for such manual reprocessing scenarios?Appreciate any guidance or experience around this! Thanks in advance.  Regards,Bhavani Bharanidharan

Hi @bhavanibharani

I think you can run the post processing workflow as independent workflow as well.

If you can't then you need to create a custom workflow with the same preprocessing logic.

Hello @bhavanibharani
- You can use the Reprocess Assets UI/action to (re)run processing profiles on existing assets.
- Attach your custom workflow to the folder for any post-processing automation.
- afaik, OOTB, you might not be able to call a processing profile from a Workflow step
