Triptych SCRIPT for Photoshop

Oh by the way the Panel script works great with the new BATCH PROCESSOR script :)

My new BATCH PROCESSOR script opens up asking for an EBS script to run, it then asks for an input folder then an output folder. Once it has this information it then loads each picture in turn runs the script on it before saving it to the target folder. You can then run Panel on the target folder so applying scripts to each picture on the panel :)

If anyone hasn't been following the border thread then wait till next week when I release the new version complete with Drop Shadows, Graphical Borders, Multiline EXIF data plus all the normal stuff such as text wherever you like, text warping, adding icons/glyphs to your pictures, copyright text etc and it is will now include..... AN INSTALLER !!!! plus the user interfaced editor for user data and border scripts :)

Is that a clear background?

If you want a different colour again then this is how to do it !!

Add these lines straight after the other colours are defined at about line 20 onwards...

Code: 
var mycolour = new SolidColor();
mycolour.rgb.red = 100;
mycolour.rgb.green = 100;
mycolour.rgb.blue = 200;

Then later in the script you can see this line:

Code: 
if(win.data.SizeETC.colour.ed.text == "black"){BorderColour=black};
just add this line before that.....

Code: 
if(win.data.SizeETC.colour.ed.text == "my"){BorderColour=mycolour};

MAKE SURE ALL THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR CASE IS CORRECT THOUGH !!

You can then select this colour any time you like by simply entering the word "my" in the colour box. If you fire up Photoshop and use the colour picker it will show you the red,green and blue values make a note of them and type them in for your colour.

If you want to edit any of my scripts then the best program to use (which is already on your computer AND free) is:

MAC = TextEdit

PC = Wordpad

You may need to right/ctrl click and select RUN WITH or the equivalent...

No, its white, I can see it as I use the black forum theme, but it you on the white theme it might not show and I didnt use the additional border on this.

Now you say that I can see it. There is a 'clear' option too allowing your panel to be placed over another background such as a texture. Metal, wood and leaves look really good!
 
I find ExtendScript Toolkit is the best editor and comes with Photoshop. It is their own IDE and includes help, debug, output console. It also saves in the correct format.
CS3 and CS4 also allows the script to be saved as a binary but the output file needs to be renamed from FileName.jsxbin to FileName.jsx
the JS extension is for all versions prior to CS3 the x in jsx stands for eXtended.

You're doing an exceptional job Darren!

Fantastic, welcome to Talk Photography. A very helpful, happy bunch of people indeed :)

Oh and to everyone else, this chap is the java guru I mentioned on the borders script page :) He has been SERIOUSLY HELPFUL in producing these scripts over the past week answering a host of questions that have built up over months and allowing me to get on with getting the scripts to the point I wanted them.

Oh and to all those who are using them, when you look in the script and need to change a Font Name he has a really handy program on his site that converts the fonts from the internal names to postscript etc ready for adding to the script. :clap: Unfortunately its not working on the Mac at the moment !
 
That script is the only one that I tried with Flex3 (I'm not good with flash) when it does work, it will only work with CS3 or CS4 as these are the only versions that support flash.
If I get chance I will suffer and try to figure out why these Macs don't come up to the standard of a PC (Joke honest!!!)
First thing to try Darren is to see if the flash demo script works that comes with CS3 in the examples folder.
Off to get some shuteye...
 
ok, works fine in CS3 on Vista 32bit but on CS4 whe you do not use Directory mode it does no automatically display your files so when browsing to find your pic it is blank, this is because the file type is wrong, if you manually type in the file name as *.* everytime it will show you the files and you can pick them and it works fine.

Untitled-1.jpg


In CS3 the bit arrowed just says "All Files (*.*)"
 
Ah its ok, just edited the line from this

files = File.openDialog("Select picture ["+i+"]", "~/Pictures/*.*");

to this

files = File.openDialog("Select picture ["+i+"]", "*.*");

Just means a manual nav to the pics folder which is no biggy as they are not always in that same folder
 
Don't know if this is because my Pictures is on the D drive not C, but it works in CS3 so not sure

"~/Pictures/*.*" is supposed to list all files within your pictures directory the character ~ signifies HOME directory. Where is your actual Pictures directory, the one referred to in your Windows setup. It would default to being in your HOME directory. If you have actually moved your official pictures directory then that would explain it. Do you have CS3 and CS4 on the same computer?

You could also create a windows shortcut to your other directory and leave that in the directory that the script defaults to. When you click on it it SHOULD jump to the target location and carry on... SHOULD !

It is very challenging writing software in Java which is machine independent and having it run on several different OSes. It was much easier when I wrote code on the PC for one target OS but not as much fun :)
 
Any chance of a dabble with drop shadows for the EBS script and/or maybe some bevels for the panel please ?

Version 1.2 HAS Drop shadows fully implemented and working :)

It took me hours to re-write several sections of code to get it to work with the drop shadow routine being supplied by PAUL MR one of our newest members!

Bevels for the Panel, yes sounds good

I moved the whole My Documents folder onto my D: Drive, but moved it using the windows function so everything points to where it should correctly. So in effect the path to the pictures folder is d:\pictures

CS3 and CS4 both on same machine which is why it is even more odd the 3 works fine?

Awesome work by the way

I will look at this and add it to the snag list.

Just working on the web gallery generator script at the moment :)

Found the problem with the Flash script Darren, it's an animal problem Flex3 does not like Leopard. Works fine on my G5 with Tiger. Will not work on my Laptop with Leopard.
(I hate Macs (smile))

Great, I will take a look later as I have Tiger on a drive on the Mac pro. Is there an update from Adobe?

What else could I do at 2-4am in the morning......

One script to create Triptych collages for Photoshop.

This is a stand alone script. Just place it into your Photoshop SCRIPTS directory (before you start photoshop), which is located at.

MAC

APPLICATIONS::Adobe Photoshop CS3 (or CS2)::Presets::SCRIPTS

PC

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\scripts

or

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\scripts


Basically you then run Photoshop as normal but in the scripts menu there will be an entry TRIPTYCH. Select this and the script runs.

I sometimes feel like i have accessed another planet...only got p/shop version 7.0 and alnt got the foggiest.
Thanks

Thank you Cowasaki :thumbs:
