Photoshop Speed Clinic: Automating Photoshop
Photoshop World Miami was a blast this year. Matt Kloskowski's “Photoshop for Geeks” session was filled to the gills. It's great to see that people are interested in ways to simplify and automate their workflows through scripting.
Matt has kindly provided his article on the Script Events Manager from the January/February issue of Photoshop User magazine, and a list of Photoshop scripting resources:
Scripting Resources (PDF)
Script Events Manager article (PDF)
I should also mention that Matt released his new book at Photoshop World: “The Photoshop CS2 Speed Clinic : Automating Photoshop to Get Twice the Work Done in Half the Time.”
The book was a hot item at the show and sold out from the Peachpit Press booth almost as soon as they hit the shelf. Of course, copies are still available through Amazon and most bookstores.
The book covers automation using actions and batch processing, strategies for smarter actions, streamlining Camera Raw & Bridge workflow, Smart Objects, and a chapter on scripting.
The scripting chapter includes information on:
- Installing and using scripts
- Editing scripts in the ExtendScript Toolkit
- Using the Scripts Event Manager to automatically run scripts and actions
- Installing & using the Scripting Listener plug-in
