Combine two images

[bluecd]

hello,

Iam beginning my fun with JS/Adobe CS5 coding, its kinda 'die hard' so far but anyway )

My idea is to process +1000 images /coins/ with inserting a title block into each coin image.
Coins can very a bit/size/ so I want to have always equal distamce between title block-coin-upper margin.
/additionally I need to amend each title block with some text related to coin's filename-but this one later../
So far I reworked some known scripts/and combine it with some simple actions: trim, canvas resize/ but cant achieve repeatable results:

Code: Select all

//header if supposed to work as script and not a function

#target photoshop

    app.bringToFront();

    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO; // Dialog off   

    var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits; // Save Users ruler units   

    var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits; // Save Users Type units   

    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; // work with pixels   

    app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS; // work with pixels 

    app.activeDocument.selection.deselect(); //deselect if anything selected

      

//******************************************

// MOVE LAYER TO

// Author: Max Kielland, modified by Zbigniew Solarewicz / 2018

//Moves one layer depending on the other. Important to point ACTIVE layer ,eg.with some Action

  

    docRef = app.activeDocument;

    var myLayers = docRef.artLayers; // get layers 

    var myLayerRef = docRef.activeLayer;

     

    var myLayerRefPosition = myLayerRef.bounds;

    var myX = myLayerRefPosition[0];

    var myY = myLayerRefPosition[1];

          

    //alert(myLayers.length); //check layer number

if (myLayers.length < 2) {

    myLayerRef.activeLayer = myLayers[0];

    docRef.activeLayer = docRef.layers[0];

     //UL and LR corner, bounds defined as list: [x0 y0 x1 y1] 

     myLayerRef.translate( null , -myY);

    

    } else {

    myLayerRef.activeLayer = myLayers[0];

    docRef.activeLayer = docRef.layers[0];

     //UL and LR corner, bounds defined as list: [x0 y0 x1 y1] 

     //move second-lower layer 300px below

     myLayerRef.translate( null , myLayers[1].bounds[1]+myLayers[0].bounds[1]/20);

      } 

  

  

  //docRef.trim(TrimType.TOPLEFT, true, true, true, true);

  //docRef.resizeCanvas( docRef.width+30, docRef.heigth+30, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER );     

      

     if (myLayerRef = myLayers[0]) {

         //myLayerRef.translate( null , myLayerRef[0].bounds[1]);

         null

         } else {

             null

             }

     docRef.selection.deselect();

General idea is to have title block under a coin, in always equal distance. Same distance objects' bounds <->canvas.

PS. There is a problem having SELECTED/MARKED proper layer/none selected produces error/.

Maybe somebody could advice right direction to explore the issue?

cheers,
