Load files into stack

[funkedup]

Hi guys, I am new here, but was wondering if you could help me please?

I am trying to edit the 'Load files into stack' script as I would like to be able to use this from vector .eps files.

Currently if I load Illustrator .eps files using this method, it defaults the photoshop document size to 72dpi, but I need them to be 300dpi.

This is to enable me to have Quark templates with PSD imported layers, so that I am able to turn each layer on an off in accordance to the logo that I need.

I have figured a workaround, but I need to rasterize the vector file prior to loading into stack, but this just adds more time into the procedure.

Could anyone help me please?

Many thanks
Trev

First: The Help Me-Forum would have been a more appropriate place for your post.

Second: You really want to use pixel logos instead of vector logos (and forego the connected quality concerns)?

Third: I would rather not tamper with »Load Files into Stack.jsx«, but it should not be too hard to make a somewhat more simple custom Script for just that purpose if it is needed for only a limited number of file formats.
I probably have overlooked some eventuality, but if you want you could give this a try:

Code: Select all// load files into one rgb-file;
// 2011, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
// select files;
if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", '*.jpg;*.tif;*.eps;*.psd', true)}
else {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", getFiles, true)};   
if (theFiles && theFiles.length > 1) {
// set to pixels;
   var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
   app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
// new file;
   var myDocument = app.documents.add(UnitValue (100, "mm"), UnitValue (100, "mm"), 300, "new", NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT);
// do the operation;
   for (var o = 0; o < theFiles.length; o++) {
      var theFile = theFiles[o];
// if generic eps;
      if (theFile.name.match(/\.(eps|)$/i) && isGenericEPS(theFile) == true) {
         var theLayer = placeEps (theFile);
         }
//if pixel image;
      else {
         var thisFile1 = app.open(File(theFile));
// duplicate image to flatten and get rid of hidden layers;
         var thisFile = thisFile1.duplicate("copy", true);
// close original;
         if (thisFile1.saved == true) {thisFile1.close(SaveOptions.PROMPTTOSAVECHANGES)};
// rgb;
         if (thisFile.mode == DocumentMode.BITMAP) {thisFile.changeMode(ChangeMode.GRAYSCALE)};
         if (thisFile.mode != DocumentMode.RGB) {thisFile.changeMode(ChangeMode.RGB)};
         if (thisFile.colorProfileName != myDocument.colorProfileName) {thisFile.convertProfile(myDocument.colorProfileName, Intent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC, true, true)};
// duplicate layer and close document;
         var theLayer = thisFile.layers[0].duplicate(myDocument, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
         thisFile.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
         };
      theLayer.name = theFile.name
      };
// reveal all and trim;
   revealAll ();
   myDocument.trim();
   myDocument.layers[myDocument.layers.length - 1].remove();
// reset;
   app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
   app.activeDocument = myDocument;
// save;
   try {
      var idsave = charIDToTypeID( "save" );
      executeAction( idsave, undefined, DialogModes.ALL );
      }
   catch (e) {};
   };
