Download any Adobe product for a free 30 day trial. This script will allow you to convert a lot of psd images into JPEG with one click of a button.Try before you buy. This can be achieved with File > Scripts > Image Processor… This will generate a psd files, so you'll need to convert them somehow into something simpler.
In the same window you can also choose a naming option for exported files. Select destination folder, and make sure you have All Data Sets option selected, as this will generate a file for each of out data sets, just what we need. Once more click OK to save the Data Sets.įinally, to get all the files with different stuff go to File > Export > Data Sets as Files… You can also check the Preview button to see how your image will look like with certain dataset (number).
Select Import... browse your CSV file, and click OK. Now you should go to Image > Variables > Data Sets... Ok, all you need to do now is export your spreadsheet to CSV.This way all the cells below should be filled with a sequent numbers (I've generated sequence up to 99). Now using standard spreadsheet autocomplete grab the lower right corner of a cell with 1 (or 2) in it and drag down.Sometimes for step 3 to work, you need to enter 2 in a 3rd row. In the below (the 2nd row) I've entered 1.In first row I've written my variable's name (for me - number).Opened some spreadsheet editor like Excel, Numbers, Google Docs, etc... and entered the next stuff in the first column: Set Layer: to my text layer's name, set checkbox on Text Replacement and gave Text Replacement variable some Name: (I've named it number). Then I went to Image > Variables > Define... Opened an image, added Type layer with all the styling I wanted.Yes, it's a bit similar, but instead of the current question witch is many -> many mine is one -> many and has a bit different and quicker solution. This is a solution for a problem described in Automate image creation with addition of number, that increases with each iteration When you click OK, the entire set of psd file will be exported to your chosen location. and choose a place to save the output, along with your choice of naming convention. The final step is to choose File > Export > Data Sets as Files. Now we have to import the data sets from our comma-delimited file using the "Import" dialog.Įxhausted yet? - There's more. Be sure that "Do Not Replace" is NOT selected. Now we have to define a Data Set, so click the "Next" button in the dialog and click the New Data Set icon (right by the trash can) in the dialog.Ī Data Set is a collection of values that apply to a particular output document, not a complete set of values in a comma-delimited file, so now we define a starting image for our template by clicking the "Select File." with the Image variable selected.
We select the text layer and repeat the process, naming the text variable "ImageNumber."
Information about each method shows in the Description field when you hover on the name. I'm choosing "Fill," which will resize the image proportionally, but you may prefer something else. Once you have these set up, select the image layer, and under Image > Variables > Define you will get this dialog (I checked the "Pixel Replacement" checkbox, since that's what we need to use):Ĭhange the "Name" field to your chosen variable name ("Image") and set the "Method" to what you need. The image layer must be an actual layer, not the background. Lets assume that you need two layers: the image (variable) and the number (a text layer, variable). You can use relative or absolute paths for the filenames: Note that the image filenames have no path only because they are in the same folder as the data file. Here's the one I mocked for this exercise. You'll need a comma- or tab-delimited file with a name for each variable (I'm going to use "Image" and "ImageNumber"). On the other hand, it's years since I used this myself, so constructing this tutorial has been a good refresher. It depends how you define "simple." Photoshop has variable data functionality built in, but it's not terribly well documented and is considered an inappropriate subject for polite conversation, such as at cocktail parties or church socials.
