How to use color labels in Bridge to inform conditional treatment in PS?

I'm trying to find a way of using the color labels in Bridge ('select', etc.) to allow conditional use in Photoshop javascript.

So, for example, all the images tagged with red will be sized to 600px, while those tagged with green will be sized to 400px.

Any ideas?

Bridge Labels get stored in the file's XMP…

You can script Bridge and pass the values to a Photoshop script via BridgeTalk

or

You can load the external XMP library in a Photoshop script.

Bridge's labels are not the same as those of the mac OS.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

I'll investigate the external XMP library suggestion further. Do you know if there's a code snippet out there which will point me in the right direction?

cheers

A search of the forum for ExternalObject should find you plenty of reference…?

You just need to load library…

Retrieve your value…

Do your Photoshop process ( use switch or if/else )

Unload the library

Done…

If you struggle post back I may be able to help…
