I am trying to automate the process of scanning/cropping photos in Photoshop. I need to scan 3 photos at a time, then use Photoshop's Crop and Straighten Photos command, which creates 3 separate images. After that I'd like to save each of the newly created images as a PNG.
I looked at the JSX scripts and they seem to a lot of promise. Is what I described possible to automate in Photoshop using JavaScript or VBScript or whatever?
Have you tried using Photoshop Actions? I don't now about the scanning part, but the rest can all be done by actions quite easily.
I actually got the answer on the Photoshop forums over at adobe. It turns out that Photoshop CS4 is totally scriptable via JavaScript, VBScript and comes with a really kick-ass Developer IDE, that has everything you'd expect (debugger, watch window, color coding and more). I was totally impressed.
