Question

Is there any way to launch a script or to automatize a task outside photoshop?

Hi,

the title may not be precise, but i don't really know how to sum up my need in one sentence.

One of my customer want to create a system to traduce easily his media, originally built with photoshop.

Thus, he is searching a way to take a PSD file, extract the text content, make it traduced by a professional , then reintegrate it in the PSD.

I know there is some script you can launch on photoshop to export/import text data, but is there any way i can do it outside photoshop, so we can automatize it from a web platform? (i.e uploading the PSD file on a platform, extracting automatically the text and make it available through a traduction form, then modifying the PSD file with traduced text)

I heard that, in the past, Adobe was proposing "Altercast"  or graphics server offer to do so, but it seems that they are no more available.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for my poor english 😛

Antoine

There are a lot of tailor maid solutions for something like this, but not for Photoshop files I am afraid.

Most of the systems are build for Indesign or Illustrator, but like I said in most of the cases it is not a out of the box solution and must be tailor maid. We have some solutions like that for some off our clients, and here are some tools we provide:
