@@Antok56 I suspect it is Photoshop to blame. There are many weird things about PNG and Photoshop. For one thing, the time it takes to save. Not too noticeable for the typical use of PNG (small images) but I have some clients that (for whatever reason) insist on using PNG for high-res images. The save time is dreadful compared to same image as JPG or TIF. Also in script, there are properties for PNG quality which don't seem to make any difference. File size is always the same (big) no matter what value is used for quality property. It's been this way for a while, and it frustrating that Adobe hasn't addressed these issues yet. I'm afraid there isn't much I can do to the script to make it any better, at least at this point. Maybe after Adobe fixes these problems I could revisit the code to see if something might help.

Hey William, I'm wanting to create variations for example folder 1 contains foreground images and folder 2 contains background images. I would like to save versions of each possible variation

Run the script twice. Once on folder 1, then again on folder 2. Options are preserved between runs (other than folder choices), so set once and both folders should give same results. Or move the two folders into another, and use the subfolder option to get all in one run of the script.

Hi William, is there any way to export individual artboards from single PSD? My situation is that I have many banners of different sizes in PSD and this script only exports the whole PSD as one PNG. Thanks!

@wc7

Жыл бұрын

At this time, the script does not handle Photoshop artboards. Anything is possible until proven otherwise, but the addition of artboards in Photoshop still remains not well documented in the scripting object model. So it's a bit more challenging to devise code to deal with them. But I will give it go, when time permits. I have added your request to my list of future scripts, either an update to this one, or another script to tackle Photoshop artboards specifically. One possible interim solution is if there's a way to split artboards into individual, "classic" images, each its own Photoshop document. Then those could be processed. Another step, but better than no solution at all. Sorry I can't give a better answer and solve the need sooner.

The script is designed to keep all subfolders to avoid name collisions. If you are sure there are none, output to "other" folder then move all the files to the root level. How to do that depends on platform, macOS or Windows.

@wc7

Жыл бұрын

I've considered that. The original idea for the script is multiple formats so each in its own folder. This takes care of name conflicts, so resolving name conflicts was never part of the original script. To save in same folder, there would have to be a suffix added, for example "-1" when input and output formats are the same, otherwise risk overwriting input files. For example, if input files are PNG, and you want the same but say different pixel dimensions or resolution, the name has to be different. I could add this and allow the folder name to be empty, then it would work as you imagine. If a different format, no problem and saved to same name and folder. But if same format, result has suffix "-1". Would that work? Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

@@puranrana5770 Right, the current implementation of the script requires a folder name. In my reply, I was proposing a possible change, not suggesting the script works that way now. But to make such a change, it creates a new problem -- how to deal with potential name conflicts. In your case it sounds like that isn't a problem. Your source files are not PNG and you want to output them to PNG. So same folder would work in that case. But the script has to account for all scenarios, or a user somewhere will be mighty angry with me when the script overwrites their original files. I "propose" (the script does NOT currently work this way) adding a suffix "-1", "-2" etc. when folder name is blank and there are name conflicts. My question to you in the last post (and for anyone else following this conversation) is if such a suffix would be a satisfactory solution so that folder name could be blank and not risk overwriting source files. Let me know what you think and I will consider some changes to the script.

If the images are saved to the same folder, wouldn't that work? That's the idea of the script. Process folders, not anything one by one. Your comment "export one by one" doesn't make sense to me. You don't even need the script. Make an Action, "Save PNG" and batch automate that. Wouldn't that work? I will look at adding an option for open documents but I still wonder why you need it. Maybe there is more to the story that I am missing. If so, forgive me for not fully understanding.

@@ProxiusMusic Wrong tool for the job. This script only works on existing files, not "untitled" PS docs never saved. There isn't a way to modify the complex script so it would work on never saved docs. It would take an entirely different script. There are a number of ways to approach this. 1. batch export the open images. Then run this script. Why is that so difficult? 2. use a script to automate the cropping and output PNG. Look at this script. Just don't remove the background, only crop: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZ6gxNSypryrlZs.html Beyond that a bit of imagination could probably devise multiple ways to get the job done using standard PS tools and Actions.
