    Where to begin with PS scripting for noob?

    Here is an example of a self-contained script that will save JPEG files with the file name in the lower right from selected input files. A sub-directory will be created titled "Filename Added" to ensure that the original files with the same name are not overwritten. #target photoshop // Save...

    Where to begin with PS scripting for noob?

    Adding to this, there currently is and will be some future overlap in time where the old ExtendScript will still be workable, however, the writing is indeed on the wall and UXP is the new heir to the throne. At some future point in time, Photoshop will not support both methods and only UXP will...

    Where to begin with PS scripting for noob?

    If the script is installed in the program folder presets/scripts folder, then it will be available under File > Scripts when you record the action. If the script file is located elsewhere, record the action and use File > Scripts > Browse to record the execution of the script. ExtendScript...

    Where to begin with PS scripting for noob?

    As an example, the following script will add the filename to a single document. One can then record the execution of the script into an action, then use File > Automate > Batch or use the Image Processor or Image Processor Pro or other batch scripts to run the action and save the file to various...

    Where to begin with PS scripting for noob?

    Unless you're French, Actions and Scripts are two different things. Even if you are French, they are still two separate things, even if they share the same name! :] Although it is possible to record the execution of a script into an action to perform a task that is outside the scope of...

    Script is not working!

    The first step for troubleshooting is that one must follow the "four rules"... https://github.com/MarshySwamp/JJMack-Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20210419210422/http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html

    Embedding an Image

    Another option is to use the frame tool to create a rotated placeholder. https://helpx.adobe.com/au/photoshop/using/place-image-frame-tool.html https://helpx.adobe.com/au/photoshop/using/tool-techniques/frame-tool.html

    Batch Automation 2 Folder action

    I made a quick edit to an old script as an example. This saves as JPEG, but it could be any format that is required. It's just a start point as everybody has different requirements so it's hard to offer generic code. /* Combine Images from 2 Input Folders to Output Folder as JPEG.jsx...

    Batch Automation 2 Folder action

    You'll need a script to combine images from two separate folders and save to another folder. I have created many similar scripts. How are the files named in each folder? Is there a logical, consistent pattern to the naming? Example: Folder A: 001A.png 002A.png 003A.png Folder...

    Actual Pixel Count in a channel

    Yes, I can send you back the results from your sample file. Ideally this would be a file that has already been accurately costed with all ink consumption costs and ink mixing volumes recorded. Working backwards from, reverse engineering a known result is of course much easier than trying to...

    Actual Pixel Count in a channel

    I have taken a quick look. The gray levels are proving to be an issue... If each spot channel could be converted to a halftone, then the calculation used in the method that I am exploring would work as there are only white and black values. The screen frequency LPI would of course have some...

    Contact sheet

    Thank you for sharing! I may as well contribute too: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/ContactSheetX/v2.2/ This is a full-featured replacement for the standard Contact Sheet that ships with Photoshop.

    File-name on multiple images.

    There are many scripts available for such a task if you search the internet, however, they are all very specific to the images and end-user requirements. So if you can provide at least one before/after sample file that would help me to help you. Font sizing is specific to document resolution, so...

    Copy all paths from JPEG and paste them into a PSD?

    That is by design, as I didn't know that you had multiple paths. // Get the first/top path from the JPEG file Will you *always* have 3 paths in each file, or could this vary, sometimes 1, sometimes 2 or more etc?
