I have a box mockup, and a folder of 300 images. Manually, I follow the following steps:

1. Edit the smart object (the image that goes into the box)

2. Drag and drop the next image onto the existing one

3. CTRL+F (expands the size of the image to fit the canvas size)

4. Save smart object

5. Close smart object

6. Export image (box with embedded image) to PNG

I then repeat the above for the next image. I'm looking for some advice on how to automate this, using actions, automate batch or any other method! Thanks!

An all too common question... Some more topics, which may include other scripts:

Phone cases are another common topic, scripts should be applicable to both:

Smart object replacement:

Thanks; I did come across that in my search, but I'm not familiar with scripts - do I have to copy and paste that code somewhere in Photoshop? How do I automate it?

Hi @extracampine, basically, write or copy your script to Notepad or Textpad and save the file with the .js extension. Upload that file to Photoshop with the Script Events Manager found under the File menu. Then run that script as needed. I hope that's helpful!
