Cool (and quite literary) names for Grandkids. Wonder what the next shalt be? So does that mean that we watch this space then Carlos .... ? 😉

Ok guys - back again - thanks for that! Peter your explanation was fab and I have managed to produce the list in the correct order having rearranged the layer stacking. The script works well. Carlos - that's the only way to do it, is it, as the rearranging is a bit time-consuming when there are a lot of names? I guess if I was to enter the names in the correct order in the first place then that would help, but I can't always do that. Jacob - I am wanting to try your method too but not quite sure .... where you say this: 1) Select each live name and Effect>Path>Outline Object (for the second name on Effect>Apply Outline Object will do), then in the Transform palette set the desired W(idth), then pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Enter (or just Enter if you have locked to keep proportions); does that mean that I would still have to select each name one by one to change the width? Thanks again all. Mighty clever 😉 Jill

Thanks Jacob I will try again using your suggested method - will have to be tomorrow now as late here. Peter (or Carlos if you read this) - I could possibly work with a solution where I ended up with non-live text. However, do you think there's a way that I can do something to the text before I use the script so that it doesn't change the order please? I understand what layers are but am not sure what you are saying ... all the text exists on the same layer in my document. Thanks Jill

Hello all Thanks Jacob - just wasn't sure about the protocol with the forums. Plus I feel so demanding (embarrassed face emoji). So - here goes. Both of the scripts that I have tried are brilliant however they don't quite do what I am looking for: 1. Wunder's script makes the selections the same width or same height but it doesn't seem to change the proportions of the type too. This can mean that some of the texts could look a little stretched - see my example with the name 'James Ellison' 2. Carlos's script does change the proportions really well, but when I used it, it seemed to change the running order of the names and also gives you an expanded version of the texts, so that one loses the font styles and the text is no longer identifiable through the font (or character style) nor does it remain editable. I appreciate that I am not able to carry out any of this clever stuff but if anyone feels that they could help, it would be amazing! Thanks.

Hello all, Thanks so much for all your comments and suggestions. Though the suggestion by Carlos is indeed truly great, it doesn't quite do what I needed. I can show exacly why, with pictures to illustrate. Should I continue on this page to give more details or should I take it to the Scripting Forum? Thanks! Jill

Hi Jacob, Thanks for your answer. However, does this mean that I have to select each 'object' separately and set the desired width in the Transform palette? Do you know if there's a way that I can select them all and transform in one go, so each individually has the same width? I am looking for a way to 'batch transform' over a hundred names .... The align part I have mastered - it's the size changing while kepeing proportions that I am finding difficult. Many thanks, Jill

I have searched the forums for an answer to my problem and have come across an answer that Monika Gause referred to here: How to make objects equal size , which nearly helps but I wonder whether I am doing something wrong. Basically I have a list of names that I have typed out in different fonts. I have expanded them all (as I will align them all later). I am now wanting to make each name all the same length (width) but keep the proportions. I then would use align to make them all line up under each other and be equally spaced out. As I wish to keep the font style, I need to change the width of each selection but enlarge it proportionally so the heights may vary. Wunder's script, though truly brilliant, just seems to make the selections the same width or same height but it doesn't seem to change the proportions too. The heights stay the same as originally. Do you know if there is any way that I could do this too please? I know I could do this individually using the measurement options on the top bar or just manually scaling them all (before or after expanding) but but I have hundreds of names to change. Many thanks! Jill

Hi Bojan. Thanks - as I said I had complete success in trying your method. Could I just ask one more piece of advice please? I have some picture frames which I wish to populate which have inner shadows in the frames. Do you know how I could make either the template or your actions include adding (or keeping) the shadow please? Maybe it would be best to just add it into the actions would it, creating a new layer style? Or is it possible to retain the original shadow? The same goes for things that might appear in front of the picture. If I am getting too far of myself, apologies! Here are 2 pictures which illustrate a little what I mean.

Thanks guys for your expert input. I have so far had success with fitting the frame to the picture/image but yes as you say JJ the images have to all be the same size. I had a couple of 5x7s in my A4 batch and they just didn't fit he frame! I will definitely try the Templates that you provide with the scripts that you have written as I think in the long term this will be the better option. I appreciate all your expert opinions and time given to this.

Thanks JJMack. I think I see what you mean. I will try the Photocollage Template way too.

Hi Bojan. Apologies I had not noticed the video that you had posted. I was just looking at the top answer on the thread. I scrawled down to find your video and watched that. I have uploaded your Action, downloaded Image Processor Pro and ..... success! It has all worked. There was white space on the bottom of my jpegs but I reread your instructions and ticked the trim box in replace SO content action and bingo it worked! Thanks SO much you have saved me. Apologies for not having realised that the answer was staring me in the face! Tomorrow I will have a go with JJmack's Collage Tool as I am determined to managed that too! Again, thanks SO MUCH and have a great rest of day!

Thanks so much! You are a genius. I will try again tomorrow and make it happen. In the meantime, I have managed to work something out with Bojan's video and actions using Image Processor Pro but I am determined to make yours work too. The only fault there is, is my ignorance of Photoshop. But I am learning thanks to you!

Hi there. I have managed to create my own 'mock up' template which has a picture frame on it that I can use to put in my own image. I just did this by selecting the inner image area, creating a clipping mask and then converting to smart object. However what I ideally would like is to create a template that I could use to automate for batch processing. ie. I have over 100 images that I would like to insert into the picture frame and then save these as individual files, named individually as per the inserted image. Here is an example of my picture frame file: My query is a little like this one I think How to fit image in particular frame? Which I understand that Bojan Živković helped with. Except I have a picture frame rather than a games box. I have also tried to use .JJMack's PhotoCollageToolkit which looks as if may solve the problem but I am getting various error messages. When I try to use the Collage Template Builder I get this error message: and when I just take the plunge and test the template with the TestCollageTemplate script I get this error message: I am using PS CS6 only version 13.0 x64. I appreciate that it must have taken hours and hours to create something like this ToolKit and I am sure many many people have benefited from it. Please excuse my extremely basic PS knowledge as I am new to this. I am sure there must be an easier way! If anyone can advise I'd really appreciate it as it would save me hours and hours of work. Thanks!

Thanks Norman. I have just watched the video. This could be one way of doing this. Any advice on how I would quickly create a list in Excel of all the names of the image files that I have without having to paste them all in please? Plus do you know what sort of box the image would be placed in? Would this be a smart object or simply a box in a layer? Tx.

Oh tx for that. Do you think I should do another post then in the Scripting Forum, including a better screenshot? Or should I wait to see what happens with this one so as not to duplicate? Sorry - am completely new to this as you can guess! Had no idea there were even more specific forums!
