How to use

Say you want to generate Participant Certificates using this script in photoshop 2019 CC or similar:

1. Open photoshop and add folders/group with names "text" and "baseImage".

2. Create the desired background for the Certificate inside the baseImage folder:

3. Inside "text" Title Group(or folder) add the "participantName" text layer and place it on the desired position and appropriate text size. We will use the script to change this text.

4. Download the script from https://github.com/avialxee/photoshop-jsx

   by clicking Code > Download Zip

5. Unzip the folder to a desired location and copy your photoshop file inside the unzipped folder. If you dont wish to keep the Photoshop file inside the folder follow the Step 4 in Customize and proceed with the next steps.

6. Open input.json file in your favourite text editor and replace the values corrosponding to name.

   {
   "name": ["Avinash Kumar", "Lorem Ipsum"]
   }

7. Run the script following the demo or follow the following:

   • File > Scripts > Browse and select the autotype.jsx file found in the unzipped folder.

Customize

1. The group names can be changed according to your preference:

   Open autotype.json to find and change the baseImage to a desired group name. Similarly for the text group name.

2. If you dont want alerts each time an image is saved, comment the line 49:

   // alert("saved Jpeg");

   Similarly one can comment the next line if you dont wish to save the .psd files.

3. To change the output folder path change the following:

   var outpath = thePath+'/output/';

4. If you wish to have a destination folder containing output somewhere separate from the photoshop file. Add the destination path to thePath.

   var thePath = 'path/to/destination';
