Posted in: #AdobePhotoshop #BatchProcessing #Text

I have a specific design which is always being used, the only thing I am editing the is text line.

For example, the text line is a date.


1950 (save as 1950.PNG)
1951 (save as 1951.png)


and so on

I have to do this for about 100 years so from 1901 to 2014.
So is there a quicker way to do this?

Maybe ImageMagick can help you?

Some steps:


Create nochange design PNG
Create PNG files with text
Merge two images together

What you’re after can be achieved using Photoshop Variables.

If you create a text layer for the text you’d like to populate with different data.



Then open Image → Variables → Define and set your text layer to have its text replaced.



You can then switch to Data Sets (or Image → Variables → Data Sets), and import a text file with the variables.



And then, use File → Export → Data Sets as Files to export all the versions from your data set.

Create a layer comp for each year and then export layer comps to
file
Export the base to a png without the text line. Go to indesign and make a 100 pages document that's the size of your PNG. Place your PNG on the master page, and then on the master add the current page number with 19 before it:

You should get something like this in the master:



Now got to your pages and you'll get all of the years, but the firs nine will be with three digits (199 instead of 1909) , so only there add the "0". Now export it all to PNG, JPEG or whatever you want.
