CS & CS2 Framing Scripts

[mickle]

Not sure if this is ok to post here, if not I apologise in advance.

I have written a couple of scripts that add frames/mattes, resize, USM, add exif info, title, sig etc.

They can be found at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pootern...mer/index.html

For example

Sorry, at the moment they won't work in PS7.

Although PS7 can be updated with Adobes script plugin, it does not have the ability to have user interfaces. I may at a later date write a front end in VB for the script to overcome this problem.

New version 1.06


Added "Save Default" button.

Added option to use the copyright in the document info if one exists, or the supplied one on the gui if not. (this was a request)

Added option to use the document title for the caption, if one exists, or the supplied one on the gui if not. (this was a request)

Added option so that the title can be displayed in small caps, with tracking of 300. (this was a request)

Added percentage option to matte. (this was a request)
Limited to 35% if using even matte and 25% if using add weight to bottom.

Added new frame "Holly". Best with frame width over 20. (this was a request)
Added new Frame "Baubles". Best with frame width over 20. (this was a request)
Both the new frames take the pallette color for the base and overlay the graphic.

Fixed possible problem if ruler units not set to pixels.

I haven't emailed this version out to existing users yet, but will do shortly.

Hey, great idea! I'm not so interested in the frames myself (personal preference), but I think that including the exif data is a super idea!

It isn't clear but does the enhanced version contain the basic mattes, as well as those shown?

Yes it contains everything.


Look at the bottom of this page to see various options.

I think those are pretty neat.. Nice stuff!!

[ohenry]

I ordered the enhanced version and it is pretty snazzy. I am not a huge fan of frames, but this script allows you to omit the frame and just place a mat if you prefer, or just frame, or frame and mat. Very flexible. Pretty nice little program and offered at a very reasonable price.

Updated to version 1.07

Added time to the exif info. (request)

Added error message if more than one layer exists.

Added "Last Used" button. Each time you "Run" the framer a snapshot is saved of its current config. Clicking on the "Last Used" button loads in the last used config. Handy if you make a spelling mistake as it allows you to easily go back and correct it.
