Automate Photoshop

Photoshop supports some external automation using OLE Automation under Windows or AppleScript on the Macintosh. Using either of these methods lets you start Adobe Photoshop and execute actions externally.
Using external automation lets you perform such tasks as:

• Having another scriptable application generate a series of files, and having Photoshop batch-process them.
• Having Photoshop batch-process files and save them to your Web site.
• Writing a script that runs an action and then shuts down your computer late at night after you’ve gone home.

Additional information on OLE and AppleScript is available in the Technical Solutions database on the Adobe Web site. If you have further questions about OLE, contact Microsoft Corporation. For questions about AppleScript, see your Macintosh documentation or contact Apple Computer, Inc.
