Photoshop Scripting Sessions @ Photoshop World Las Vegas
The class schedule for Photoshop World Las Vegas, September 6-8, 2007 has been posted. I'm happy to announce that there are not one, but two, Photoshop Scripting Classes this time around:
Thursday, September 06
01:00p-02:45p - Photoshop Scripting (Beginners) - with Jeff Tranberry:
“Do you think Scripting is just for geeks? Photoshop offers a world of new possibilities to those who are familiar with writing scripts to automate and extend Photoshop. In this session you’ll learn the basics of scripting in Photoshop CS3 using Javascript and examine some real world examples of how you can make use of these basics to push Photoshop even further.”
03:00p-05:45p - Photoshop Scripting (Intermediate, Hands-on Workshop) - with Tom Ruark:
“In this session you’ll learn the how to write and debug more complex scripts using the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit. You are encouraged to bring your own laptop to participate in the class workshop, where you can put your skills to work writing your own scripts with the help of the instructors. Class participants can then share their creation during a final show-and-tell discussion.”
We did a Beginners session at Photoshop World Boston back in April. This time Tom Ruark, a Computer Scientist at Adobe, who is responsible for the SDK, plug-in API, and scripting API for Photoshop, will show some more advanced stuff during the intermediate session. Tom and I will be on hand for both sessions, so come by and check it out.

Adobe Media Gallery
As John Nack has already announced, Adobe has just released Adobe Media Gallery.
What is Adobe Media Gallery? It's an extension for Bridge CS3 that lets users easily and quickly create Flash-based and HTML-based web photo galleries.
To get started using AMG, make sure you first update to Bridge 2.1. (It won't run in 2.0)
Then download the Adobe Media Gallery installer from Adobe Labs.
I've created a quick start video tutorial:
• Tutorial Video (8.1mb)
[Disclaimer: I had to to make some edits to match the actions to the words better, and fake the upload section because I didn't have a net connection when I recorded the video.]
• Quick Start Guide
• Known Issues
• FAQ
I'll do another video tutorial on how to modify, create and save your own templates.
I'll also point out some of the interesting ExtendScript code used to extend Bridge and build AMG in future posts.
Lastly, tell us what you think. We want to hear your ideas. That's what Adobe Labs is all about.
