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

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:

  1. Trigger the processing profile to generate the rendition (even though the asset is not newly uploaded).

  2. 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.
