Hi everyone !
I'm ultra new to scripts in Photoshop but I've been trying to do something I apparently can't do without them :
I currently have two folders with images I'm trying to merge. One with 535,000 images in PNG format with a unique title (eg: QR50000000001.png, QR50000000002.png, ...). The other folder has 535,000 images in TIFF format with a matching unique title (eg: banner50000000001.tif, banner50000000002.png, ...).
What I need to do is align the QR files with the Banner files, merge them, and save them with the title of the original QR image.
My "banners" look like this and are 625px / 600px :
(I masked some private info)
My QR images look like this and are 295px / 295px:
(Same, sloppy censoring, sorry)
The final result should look like this.
Having done some research, I've found @JJMack's amazing response to a similar type of question and
have done quite a lot of attempts to try and make it work.
Until now, I've been able to adapt the "Crossroads2500" template to match my final design.
With this design, I've been able to successfully run the script BatchUpdateSmartObjects.jsx using the original files JJMack uploads in his example.

Unfortunately, I've got an issue when I try to replace the example's source files by my own source files.
Even though the proportion of my images seems to match my template, I always receive the following error message :
"Replacemen object counts are not the same "
Reading from the script I suppose it has to do with this part of the script
... but since I don't know much about Java coding, I'm totally lost.
Could anyone help me make this work ?
I would quite literally save my life.
Thanks in advance,
Seb.

You do not have the same number of replacement object in folders obj0 and obj1. Forder obj0 has 10 replacemebts obj1 does not have exactly 10 replacement.
You may also have problems if your PNG files certain transparent boarders. Did you read the help?

That's my main issue here : there IS the same number of files in both obj0 and obj1 folders.
(In this case, 5 files, but same error message)
However, now that you're saying it, there IS transparency in my TIF file and it's a thing I didn't see mentioned in the Help/instructions.
I'll give it a look tomorrow and will come back to communicate the resulsts.
Anyway, thanks for your help (and for the amazing work on the script), it really helps.

From what you posted
I see in File explorer you have targeted 5 files in obj0 and obj1. I see at least two files you have not targeted in obj1 The Message state the script sees 10 image files in folder obj0. All other folders obj"n" need to have the same number of image files. 10 image file are required to be in these folders no more no less. I see obj1 has at leasts two more files then five targeted. How many image files are in folder obj0 and how many image files are in obj1. The message you prosted from my script state the script sees 10 image files in obj0 and does not see exactly 10 image files in obj1.
My scripts have a help button there is help for Collage and Mockup Templates and scripts. Please read the help you seem toe be using mockup templates and scripts.
Simple Mockup Templates
Four Rules
- Simple Mockup Templates Only the Smart Object Layer on the top of the Template layers stack will be updated then a Jpeg file saved.
- Only Photoshop Objects are support in the top smart objects layers. That is they can not be Object File that are not supported by Photoshop like Camera RAW Files or Illustrator file like .ai, .svg.
I suggest these objects should be PSD or PSB the Photoshop creates. Avoid using PNG objects in Mockup template use replace content to replace .png objects with a .psd which has your png's content. - The first None Smart Object Layer near the top of the layer stack Marks the end of Smart Object Layers the will be updated. Lower Smart Object Layers only update if they share top layers objects.
- The Replacement Image Collection need to be in sub folders named obj0, obj1, obj2, .... objN. Each folder must contains the same number of replacement Image files.
Four Scripts
- BatchReplaceOneObject.jsx - Only the top Layer in the Layer Stack will be updated it must be a Smart Object Layer replacement images do not have to in a folder names obj0.
- BatchUpdateSmartObject.jsx - All top Smart Object layers in the Layers Stack will be updated.
Replacement Images must be in sub-folders in some folder the sub-folder names must be obj(n) where n is (0,1,2...,v). Folder obj0 for top layer object replacement, obj1 next layer down etc. - BatchMockupTemplates.jsx - Used to populate multiple Mockup Template that need to be populated with the same replacement image objects.
Scripts "BatchReplaceOneObject.jsx" and "BatchUpdateSmartObject.jsx" are no longer required.
All top Smart Object layers in the Layers Stack will be updated.
Replacement Images must be in sub-folders in some folder the sub-folder names must be obj(n) where n is (0,1,2...,v). Folder obj0 for top layer object replacement, obj1 next layer down etc. - PopulateAlbumPageMockups.jsx - Used to populate a collection of Photo Page Mockup templates for a Picture Album. This script is like the "BatchMockupTemplates.jsx" script However, just one set of replacement images is repopulated per mockup template. Each mockup template is for a pages in a table top Album.
Scripts Edit Options
- Edit Smart Objects - Replacement images will be sized to fill the layers Smart Object size. However, if the replacement image has a different aspect ratio than the object the fit will be a centred crop.
- Rotate for best fit - This Edit option can optionally rotate images orientation for a better fit. Helpful for picture package when replacement images files may be mixture of Landscape and Portrait images.
- Fit Image - Edit resizes replacement images to fill the smart object canvas size this can crop content like Logo replacements. Fit Image will not crop, however the smart object canvas will not be fully covered.
- Save PSD File - The updated Mockup will be saved as a Jpeg file use this option to save a layered version as well if you want to be able to edit the populated mockup.

As JJMack wrote, the error means that you don't have say 100 files in Folder A and 100 files in Folder B. I'm hoping that you don't have 535,000 x2 being processed in one go!
I would suggest that you use one of JJMack's other scripts or one of many other scripts that are not based around smart objects. My gut feeling is that it would be faster to use simpler methods to combine the two images.
http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html
http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.zip
There are many scripts to be found on this forum for combining pairs or "N" count of images together.
I made some very small changes to one of JJMack's scripts as it was not alphabetically sorting on the Mac, which meant that the incorrect files were being paired:
http://community.adobe.com/t5/Photoshop/Batch-automating-sequences-of-images/m-p/10619866#M263871
https://github.com/MarshySwamp/Layer-Stack-N-Number-of-Files-Filename-as-Top-Layer
If you had an action that correctly combined two open files, then a script can open pairs of images and combine them using your action and repeat.
Hi Stephen.
I confirm that I'm not trying to combine 535K x2 images in a single batch. 🙂
I totally agree that it would be simpler to not use smart objects but to be honest I havent found which of the scripts (out of the collage toolkit) would allow me to do that.
But again, it's mostly because I don't understand much about scripts so I'd love to be pointed towards one simpler that would fit my needs.
I didn't think of running the script as part of an action (if I understood your advice correctly). I'll give it a look tomorrow.
Thanks very much.
Seb.

Take the following image as an example:
The script that I have modified for you to combine the two alphabetically sorting images will place the QR code centred on the advertisement image in multiply blend mode to make the white areas transparent... An action can move the QR code into the correct position and scale it to the correct size. That is all you need to do, the script does everything else! Of course the script could do that as well without an action, however, without access to the correct files for testing that is not currently possible. The script will then save the combined image using the QR code name and then close the original two files, then open up the next two files and repeat until all files in the two source folders are complete.
I am currently saving to PSD as I don't know what file format and options you specifically need... Are you using PNG as the final format? Save as or Save for Web? What settings/options when saving? I'm guessing that you don't want to add another step to use Image Processor or Image Processor Pro script to save the PSD to the final file format.

So, here we go finally, I was able to create the actions and test the script :
At first, I tried using directly the .svg files, as said in my comment above.
First I opened the background image.
Then I opened the .svg file which prompts a dialog. I just clicked ok (keeping the actual size of the .svg image). I assumed that's what the script would do.
I then copied the QR and pasted it on top of the background (with layer option "multiply", since I understood that's what the script was doing).
From that point, I started recording actions. As you can see, I have created three actions : a resize action, a place action and I added a "threshold" action to convert the QR layer to absolute B&W.
The final result from the action on the side was this.
I closed the files, reopened them, ran the actions and confirmed it was working every time.
From there, I slightly modified the script so that the dialogs would show me the root of my image files, that it would process .svg and .png files, and that it would display the correct error messages.

}
I then ran it and was pleased that it ran without mistakes.
Unfortunately, when I opened the files generated, I noticed that the QR layer is moved far on the left (out of the canvas) and is too small.
Since then, I've tried to tinker with the placing and resizing parameters, creating several sets of actions, hoping I'd find the right placement but without reaching my goal.
So I'm now blocked again and hoping @Stephen_A_Marsh to point exactly to my noob mistake before I can fix it. 😞
Also, I've found a script to save the merged image to .pgn but I'm not sure how to combine both scripts.
if (app.documents.length != 0) {
var doc= app.activeDocument;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var layer = doc.artLayers[0]
layer.textItem.contents = i;
var opts, file;
opts = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
opts.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
opts.PNG8 = false;
opts.quality = 100;
pngFile = new File("/Users/dlokshin/temp/speed.png");
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(pngFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, opts);
}
}
So, yeah, I swear some day I'll learn javascript coding basics instead of begging for help.
Until now, thanks 100.000 times for the help !
Seb.

You, Sir, are a life saver.
As you can see, the QR is now exactly at the right place.
I just added a "rasterize" action in your action set right before saving.
However, the output png is readable in the Windows Preview and Paint but not in Photoshop.
I don't think this is gonna be an issue for the final use of my files but if you know why this happens, I'd love to learn more about it. (I had the same issue with the files generated by your script before I added the rasterize option.)
Anyway, thanks for your work, kind Sir. If you DM me some personal detail, I'll be pleased to send you some of the specialities from my country (Belgium) as a way to show my gratitute. 🙂
