The long-standing Photoshop actions system (which debuted in PS4) makes it pretty easy to record a series of commands, then play them back. Photoshop scripting (intro’d in PS7) lets developers do much more sophisticated automation, but it needs to be written by hand and is consequently much harder to create. Thus there’s been a demand for a system that would let users use conditional logic in Photoshop (e.g. processing an image one way if it’s taller than it is wide, and another if it’s wider than it is tall), but without having to learn\/write scripting.<\/p>\n
To fill this gap, scripter Andrew Hall has created Photoshop Commander<\/a>, a free add-on designed to put fairly sophisticated automation tools into the hands of non-programmers. He explains, <\/p>\n Photoshop Commander is a Photoshop Script for CS2 and CS3 that creates powerful programming capability in Photoshop, using simple dialogs that anyone can work with and understand. Photoshop Commander provides a comprehensive easy-to-use menu system that allows non-programmers to create sophisticated workflow automations all without the need to understand a single line of programming code. <\/p>\n The script (which is free and is being released under the Creative Commons license), and a heap of accompanying Flash tutorials<\/a> can be downloaded at Check it out, and let Andrew know what you think (via the comments section of the download page). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The long-standing Photoshop actions system (which debuted in PS4) makes it pretty easy to record a series of commands, then play them back.

\nIf you check out the first 10 minutes of the tutorials you will get some idea of what it can do and how it works.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
