What script you use? Also why you created this: batch mockup template script problems?

[JJMack]

It look like you are using my Batch mockup templates populated scripts and have not used the help button to read how to use the script.  The message is stating your  replace object folders are not setup.   In the replacement object folder there needs  to be a  folders for each Smart object layers replacement objects.  obj0, obj1, ... objN.  You should read the help. Help 

Simple Mockup Templates

Four Rules

1. Simple Mockup Templates Only the Smart Object Layer on the top of the Template layers stack will be updated then a Jpeg file saved.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

These scripts default operation will use Photoshop feature Replace Content to update the Mockup Smart Object Layers replacement image must be preprocessed so they will have the correct Aspect Ratio, Size and Print Resolution. If you do not prepropcess Image files Replace Content operation may not be what you. So I added an Edit options. If a script's Edit Smart Object option is checked the script will Edit the Smart Object Layer's Object instead of using Replace Content. This will take a much more time them the default operation Replace Content. Still image should has as aspect like the objects in the template. Portraits into landscape and landscape into Portrait objects loose too much image content the resulting composition will not be acceptable.

MockUp Templates should not have object that are PNG files if you may want to use the Edit Smart Object options replace any you have with the PNG saved as a PSD file. Png save performances is poor Png objects will slow down the Edit option.

It seems you are missing something like folder with specific name on Desktop. Can you give us more light like which script you are using and perhaps what are settings applied in script dialogue?

Is his post posted in the other thread in the right place then?

[JJMack]

I do not keep track of duplicated threads.  I try to look at all threads that are dealing with mockup templates. I missed that append in that thread. Is there a right place or wrong place???  It look like they are using my script that requires a folder for each smart object layer replacement objects. They need to contain the same number of replacements  and need to sort in the same order so the templates are updated with the correct sets of replacements objects.  It look like he may have only one template and only one smart object layer in that template.  He could then use "BatchReplaceOneObject.jsx" which only supports one template with one smart object layer.  They would not get the missing obj0 folder message. That was the my first  attempt at updating mockup templates a simple first set.  Its obsolete.

They are most likely using my "BatchMockupTemplates.jsx" which can batch populated a collections of Mockup templates"  with a collection of replacements object.  The Mockup templates cans have any number of top level  smart object layers that will have their objects replaced.  Each of the top level smart object layers need to have their replacement collection in sub-folders obj0, obj1, ..., objN. in the replacement collection folder which is set in the Scripts dialog.  The Scripts can be set to use Replace content for Smart Object replacement (the Default setup)  which requires replacement objects to be the correct Aspect Ratio, Size and resolution.   Or use the Scripts Edit option where the scripts will  try to edit any size replacement into the existing objects.  There are some restrictions on what types of Objects the Edit option supports, RAW and Vector Objects are not supported.
