I am using an external .txt file to Data Merge different copy and importing/merging with individual .jpg photos for a few hundred images. Is there a way to make the exporting .PSD file NAME to be the same as each .jpg file it is importing for each data set. For example: My variable to import the photos is the variable name of "photo" and so is the photoshop layer. Can I use that variable name to auto name the exporting .PSD files? Hope that makes sense. I'm new to data sets.
My variables include: description, serial number, year, location, photo, etc.
"photo" is the one that imports each photo image from my Data Merge .txt list.
For example, my photo file names are like such:
11111-image-01.jpg
11111-image-02.jpg
55555-image-01.jpg
55555-image-02.jpg.
I want the exported .PSD files to be named:
11111-image-01.psd
11111-image-02.psd
55555-image-01.psd
55555-image-02.psd
Is this possible?
Thank you,
Kevin
I found a way to do it. Had to create a new Variable with the file names without the .jpg as teh first colomn and when I imported it, clicked the box where the first column would be used as the Data Set name. I added it on a layer at the botom of the PSD below the image and also made it 0% just to make sure the file name text could not be seen. Not sure if it's the right way to do it, but it works. If there is a better way that I don't have to create a new layer and data variable, please let me
