help.. layers to tables

Post by guestMac »

i have about 90 mug shots, layers on top of each other (canvas has same size as the mug size), can someone guide me on how i could set canvas to 5in width and 17in height, then have a 0.2in padding (distance between each picture).
which would move each subsequent layer, making it about 6 pictures wide, and 15 tall.

(i don't know any javascript, html is just about the only scripting i've done)

Unless that is something you are going to do many times a script may not be worth writing for this. My immediate thought was convert each layer to an image and use QImage to print it - it will lay out your print exactly as you want it and it is an outstanding and cheap program with the best support of any software I have ever come across.

thanks for the reply. this is something i really would like done in photoshop, i have done this process for up to 200 mugshots manually several years, and will be repeated some more in the future.

another idea:
http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloads/ ... _0-9-7.jsx ... _0-9-7.jsx
does what i want to a degree, but it just uses duplicates of the same layer.

im thinking if there was someway of combining the row/column creation "for statement" to instead of using:
currentLayer = activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate();
have it get each layer in the activeDocument

am i heading on to a dead end?
