Replace Smart Object to images from bridge

Rei_Martins, was inspired by this plugin I'm trying to create my panel for creation of my albums.

Hi Tokuredit,

It does what you want.
Superalbum - Produtos para diagramação de álbuns

Thanks,

It sounds like to me your trying to populate a template that has smart object layers you want to replace with different images.  One of the problems there would be  that the replacement images need to be the same size as the original object. For there is an associated transform associated with all smart object layers that are not replaced or updated when the smart object layers object is replaced.  If the replacement is not the same size as the original the associated transform will not be correct for the replacement.

I have never programmed an Adobe bridge script. I know nothing about BridgeTalk interface or how you would pass both images file and template to the script in Photoshop of if you script would expect the template to be open in Photoshop in the first place.  Your description of what your are doing in the action is a bit vague. You mat need to add an additional option to the Bridge's Tool  menu.

If you are trying to populate a template you may want to look at my collage populating scripts in my package.  There is a video of 5 images being populated.

Photo Collage Toolkit

Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template  being populates with images:

The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.

1. Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
2. Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
3. Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
4. Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.

There are fifteen scripts in this package they provide the following functions:

1. HelpPhotoCollageToolkit.jsx - Online Help
2. TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
3. CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
4. LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
5. InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
6. ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
7. ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
8. PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
