Script: Read jpg META in PS, do

Post by edgerobdotcom »

Hi all,

I'm sure this information is buried in one or two existing feeds somewhere, but here's what I'm looking for:

I would like to create a PS action, containing a java script that reads meta data (specifically the aperture value) of a JPEG, which sets the opacity of a layer based on the returned ƒ result.

Q1: anything already exiting out there? If so, please just point me in the right direction.
Q2: some guidelines (links etc) on how I might achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
