Hardworking author/scripter Ben Long has returned with version 2.0 of his popular Photoshop Automator Actions. In addition to introducing 22 new actions, Ben writes, “The biggest improvement is a new architecture that makes it much speedier, and that eliminates the problem of Photoshop having to open all of the documents in a batch at one time.” I’ve heard plenty of good feedback from folks using the scripts in production, and they’re a great example of nice Photoshop/Mac OS integration.
By the way, if you’re interested in automating Photoshop and plan to attend next week’s Photoshop World in Miami, check out Matt Kloskowski’s Photoshop for Geeks session. I was amazed that the previous installment of Matt’s talk drew more than 100 people to an 8:30pm session (!). It was a great vote of confidence in our efforts to make Photoshop more extensible, and as before my pal Jeff Tranberry from PS development will be on hand to answer questions & gather feedback.
