TL/DR: Do NOT upgrade to 2018 if you rely on Image Processor Pro.
Image Processor Pro has been an integral part of my workflow for years. Originally offered as a third-party plugin by Russell Brown, it's been baked-in to Bridge/Photoshop for a while now.
My clients require delivery of five different files for every image I produce for them:
1 Tif file, full size, saved in Adobe 1998 color space for use in print
1 Jpg file, full size, 300ppi, saved in srgb for web and desktop use, labeled as "300"ppi
1 Jpg file reduced to 72ppi fsaved in srgb for web and desktop use, labeled as "72"ppi
1 PNG (to preserve transparencey) at 300ppi, srgb, labeled as 300ppi
1 PNG at 72ppi, srgb, labeled as 72ppi
As you might imagine, performing these transmutations manually for a dozen images at a time will break your brain. At one time I'd created a series of batch processes as droplets, (which broke my brain) and simplified the operation somewhat, but I had to run the images through the droplets in order to get them correctly arranged and labeled.
Image Processor Pro vastly simplified this operation, putting it all in one window and accomplishing all of the above including the correct renaming of the jpgs and pngs.
Adobe's broken Image Processor Pro as of CC2018, and unfortunately, rolling back to 2017... It's still broken.

Adobe has been no help with this. The support wizard on their website dumps you into the community forum... no help... and provides no clue how to contact them by phone, chat or email. I got them on the phone by executing a google search, NOT through their support page, and was told that Adobe knows it's broken and their developers are working on it.
