I am currently attempting to speed up my Photoshop workflow via Javascript. Looking for help from somebody experienced with writing Javascript code, who is also familiar with (or able to learn) how to write scripts that help accomplish tasks inside of Photoshop.
One of the things you can do inside of Photoshop is, by pressing Control + [period], you can run an action that you've recorded in a big batch (instead of doing it individually one at a time), where you specify the source folder of images to be acted upon, and then the destination folder that you want them saved to once the batch of actions has been completed.
One of the actions I do in a big batch, for example, is take images of a certain size, and simply resize them for use at another step in the workflow. This is recorded as an action, and the way it works is: You come into Photoshop, select your "Set" which contains a group of actions, select your "Action" which performs the action on a given file, then select the "Source Folder" of images to perform these actions upon, and then finally, the "Destination Folder" where the finished output gets saved to after the action is performed upon it.
It would really simplify the workflow if I could just write a couple of Javascript programs that functionally accomplishes the same thing -- because instead of having to pull up that dashboard each time, specify the set, specify the action, find the source folder and select it, then find the destination folder + select it as well -- since this process is standardized and the exact same each time in my workflow, it would just really simplify things and speed it up if I could just write a Javascript program once, and then just run that program each time I need to do this.
Basically I do batches OF the batches in this workflow, so being able to execute this faster would just speed it up and simplify it. So instead of pulling up that dashboard, selecting the set, selecting the action, finding the source folder, and finding the destination folder, then being able to run it from there -- and having to repeat this dozens of times -- I could instead just set up the workflow to where it's basically: Run Javascript Program 1, Run Javascript Program 2, etc, to more quickly complete this step in the process.
It seems like this would be an extremely simple chunk of Javascript code, because it only needs to accomplish four things:
1) Specify the set
2) Specify the action to use within that set
3) Specify the source folder
and 4) Specify the destination folder.
However I can't seem to find any online resources that clearly explain how to go about doing this via Javascript, instead of having to do it manually.
So that's where you come in: I need your help to basically write me a Javascript template for this, that would functionally accomplish the exact same thing as running a batch, and then I can just take that template, and then modify the variables to customize it as needed (ie, I could modify the Sets, Actions, Source Folders, and Destination Folders, as needed.)
Payment was marked as $50 for this job for the sake of getting the post through, however I am willing to discuss other payment options.
