Photoshop :: Variable Printing With Pictures?
Oct 15, 2012
I know Photoshop can handle variables in text format so for example and that you can set a variable to be an image that'll change with alternate images but can Photoshop use a mix of the two to create images with variable fields for text?
Â
Heres some examples:
Â
These have been done in Directsmile (not by me) which after playing with the demo lets you import image sets of all the letters and it then uses those to make up the variable data for each print imported as a CSV file. They're not text with filters applied, they are tiffs with masks:
Â
Now Directsmile obviously does all this, but seeings as Im paying for Photoshop CS6, I wondered if it could handle it?. If not Ill have to focus on Directsmile, even though it is PC only

I work with a lot of variable data printing and data driven graphics. A lot of the time I lean on third party plugins and extensions for this kind of work.
Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign all support variables and variable data printing natively nowadays. However its implementation is fairly limited compared to some of the afore mentioned thirdparty plugins and extensions.
One thing in particular that bothers me with the native controls is text overflow. Native variable support in these apps doesn't seem to be able to handle or resize text in the case of text overflow. Has anyone dealt with VDP, overcome this problem or have some insight.

if I have an image that was originaly 3000x2000 or so, and I reduced it to 800x600 for web viewing, and then saved it as a photoshop file, can I just open up the file in photoshop again, adjust>image size to make it go back to 3000x2000 and print it out without loss of sharpness or quality?

How can I automatically add different pictures in a single canvas using Picture package? i.e. I have about 48 pictures and I want to place 4 different pictures to each [10 X 8 - "4(4X5)"] canvas so that I can send all 48 pictures for printing at a digital studio. When I try, multiple copies of single picture appear on each canvas. I tried 'contact sheet' but not satisfied with the result as I could not change the length and width of the pictures.

I want to send my pictures to an online printing company to get my prints. Do I use the "Print" module to set up how I want them printed or is that set up on the printing company website. In other words, is the Print module just used if you have a printer?

I'm attempting to write a batch script to add some layers to a pre-existing image and save a copy. I've gone through the tutorial, and have run the demo code from Basic_Batch with no errors, but my (what I think of as simple) script throws an "Error: eval: unbound variable: ?" It also seems to cascade the error to other scripts, as I then get "unmatched parentheses: 2" errors from what I assume to be the script immediately following my own during Script-Fu load. This occurs whether running from batch or clicking "Refresh Scripts" from the Script-Fu menu.
What I could find on this forum and Google suggests that I may be required to 'define' one or more of my variables before using it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out which one that would be, and the error (reporting that '?' is undefined!?) I've quintuply (probably more ~_^) checked my parenthesis matching, but they look fine to me.
In case this was an encoding issue, I've tried saving my .scm file as both UTF-8 and ANSI. I should also note that I'm running Windows 7 x64 in English-US.
Script:
(define (script-fu-build-imagebasefilemytext)(let*((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE basefile basefile)))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))(title (car (gimp-text-layer-new image mytext "Courier" 18 UNIT-POINT))))(gimp-image-add-layer image title -1)(gimp-image-clean-all image)(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "K:\\Images\\Temp.gif" "Temp.gif")));
Since I intend for this script to only be run from batch, I haven't bothered including the typical register stuff.

I am trying to place pictures into my paragraph text so that the text wraps around the picture (like you can in Word).? Can anyone let me know how to do this in Photoshop 7.0 for Windows??
All I can find is how to wrap text around object (i.e. word on a coffee cup image itself) or putting the actual picture as fill for the font.?
how to do this? I have included a PDF of a sample of what I'm trying to do.

How do I convert the colour profile of a Lightroom custom printing package from Adobe Prophoto to sRGB before printing? For that matter, how do I save the thing? I have no interest in saving the template, or the collection separately, since neither has any use without the other. And without saving them as one finished item, I have no way to convert the colour profile of that item. I can see clearly from the appearance of the print preview that the above mentioned colour profile conversion is required.

Although the following is usually discussed in conjunction with Multiple Monitors, I believe it may be relevant in some single monitor environments as well. As far as I can see, PS CS4 uses the Windows XP Default monitor profile (Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Color Management) as its Monitor Profile (just to be complete here, in the absence of any entries under Color Management, PS uses the sRGB space as the Monitor Profile). I have not been able to find any other way to control which monitor profile PS will use. Hardware monitor calibration tools, as well as the Wincolor applet, make it possible to load the LUT on the fly, but neither my Spyder3 Elite software nor Wincolor actually update the Windows Default monitor profile definition. This means that without manually making the change in the Windows Color Management section, there is no way to tell PS to use a particular monitor profile, thus making it impossible to create a correct relationship between the LUT contents and the PS monitor profile. Making the manual change to Windows is not only tedious, but also makes it essential to REMEMBER to do this every time there is a to be profile switch, which may be necessary due to using one's laptop with different external monitors in different locations, or even just different profiles to compensate for varying ambient light conditions (e.g. one profile for natural daylight, another for artificial lighting at night). Contrary to several comments I've encountered in various posts, I am not able to assign a different Default profile to each monitor at the WIndows level. Perhaps this is possible with some video cards/software, but not with my Nvidia GeForce 8400M G and the latest software.

Is it possible to take 3-4 effects, all mixed together, like brush stroke, solarise, warp sharp, neon... mix them all together, and process a number of pictures while changing the mix level of each effect, and also varying some of the effect settings, such as brush size, brightness, etc...
are there any scripts that can do that? any macro plugins that can control other plugins? is there a crafty programming trick that could be fashioned to vary and mix effects across a task of batch processing?

I'm making an action for folks at work to use (I'm not well versed enough in scripting to script what I want to do, but an action is passable), and part of this action adds a variable into the open document. The thing is, the variable has to be named a certain thing and it keeps defaulting to Variable1.
Â
Currently I have it set up to create the variable, then open the Variable window and then have a Stop with a note on what to do, but if there's a way to just re-name the variable in the action itself that'd be best (I need this to be as... well, for lack of a better term/phrase, idiot-proof as possible).
Â
Without using a script, is it possible to have an AI action delete an existing variable? I.E. if there's a variable named 'test' by default, can I have an action delete the 'test' variable? I tried recording this but it didn't work and I wasn't able to get consistent results.

how to change the ANNOAUTOSCALE variable?
I've tried using a SendStringToExecute but this doesn't work in the Sub Initialize .
Application.SetSystemVariable("ANNOAUTOSCALE", 4) doesn't work either as I guess it's more of a drawing specific variable.

I'm sure 'variable transparency' is not the right way of putting this.
I have an image which has some text in white. However because of the aliasing the text is not 100% white against the background (black). Rather; the edges are shades of white.
I want to convert the image so that the text is transparent. If the text was 100% white it would be simple. Colors.. Colors To Alpha. However that doesn't work as it doesn't deal with the shades of white around the edges of the text.
I want the shades of white to be transparent with the same degree of opacity as they white. So the white in the image is 100% transparent and a pixel which is say light grey to be 90% transparent. (The end image is going to be used as a webkit mask; showing the background behind the masked element).
I don't know where to start with this. I know PNGs support 8 bit transparency so it should in theory be possible.

know of a variable which controls how stretching with grips works. I've got a single machine with Autodesk Architecture 2012 that when I select a grip and move it, then type a dimension in the command line, that the line becomes the dimension I typed, not the amount I moved it. For example, If i have 10" line, select and end grip, stretch it +3 inches or -3 inches, the line becomes an absolute of 3 inches. On all other machines, the line would either become 13" or 7". Â

I'm an Inventor 2011 user and I'm writing a Ilogic script to update an assembly. For this I want to use a variable in a name.
For example d1 till d10 will be given the value 25.
Is it possible to define "d" combined with a variable "n" . The script should be something like this:
n=1
for n<11
dn=25
n=n+1
end
