Photoshop For Geeks
It's that time of the year again. Time for Photoshop World. If you were at the last Photoshop World in Boston, you might have attended Matt Kloskowski's Photoshop After Dark session entitled "Photoshop For Geeks" which focused on scripting Photoshop. If you weren't there, you missed out on a fun session.
I stuck around afterward to talk with people who were interested in learning more about scripting. The thing that struck me was that a lot of the interest came from web folks, particularly people familiar with Macromedia's ActionScript. The comments were along the lines of, "Hey, that looks like ActionScript! - I could do that! - and it would save me a ton of time at my job!"
Well, since Photoshop World Boston, Adobe has completed it's merger with Macromedia. We can actually start dreaming how scripting Adobe applications might play with Flash and Flex, and how we can work with the incredible Macromedia development community.
If you're interested in chatting, I'll be at Matt's Photoshop For Geeks session, Wednesday, March 22nd, 8:30-9:30pm. Stop by and say hello.
I also wanted to point out that Shane Stanley and Ray Robertson will be putting on their AppleScript Pro Sessions in the New York City area, May 8-12, 2006. These sessions focus on using AppleScript to drive the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat) along with the finder and other applications.
Happy scripting!
