Question

Automated Filename Default Types/Tags?

Hi Everybody,

 

Does Photoshop have attribute tags internally that can be signaled from the filename? 

 

Like I work in ad production and commonly have to do builds that are massive and involve renaming and renaming over and over again due to file width and height.

 

Is there something where Photohshop has the ability to automatically Save As the width and height into the filename?

 

Like, is it possible to Save As and enter int something that's likes ProjectName_$width_x_$height.png and it saves the width and height into the filename (like batching)? 

 

Is something like that available? If so, I think I'd dance like Carlton from Fresh Prince. 

 

Thanks for any suggestions. 🙂

Yes this is possible using scripts.

    Right, but is that possible without running a batch? Does Photoshop have the ability to reformat...

    Project_$width_x_$height.psd into Project_1200x800.jpg

     

    ...by just keeping your files with cetain variables in their filename and upon Save For Web or something it recognizes these values and converts them? My work is too custom to batch (That's why I have a job 🙂 I have to work on these one at a time. 

     

    Is there an internal function or plugin/add-on that can create that functionality juse within Save As?

    I don't know that Photoshop can do that. But as mentioned this could be scripted. I bet you can get this done relatively inexpensively on somewhere like UpWork. I can recommend someone if you'd like.
