Hello,
I have a task that I repeat often and I know there should be a way to write a photoshop script for the same. But my tech level in scripting is zero and I hoped somebody could possibly help me?
Background: I am an artist and I convert posterized image files to paths to feed to a CNC laser cutter. The image is broken down into separate layers (which are pasted back in hardcopy) and each layer is converted to outline paths (what is to be cut by the machine). for every image that i make there are about 3 - 8 paths that i create, each named a particular name. I then manually export each path one by one to an illustrator file (using Export >Paths to Illustrator), the files are named with a prefix_<the path name>.
sometimes a single large image is made up of 25 smaller sections (each section is a separate photoshop file) each with 3-8 paths, and it all adds up to a lot of manual labor each time.
is there a way to write a script that will export each individual path from a phtoshop file to a separate illustrator file with the name prefix_<path name> in a given directory (or a foler on the desktop if that's too complicated)?
I have searched the web but did not find a result that addresses this particular need. And as i've mentioned my scripting knowledge is not good enough to create/modify myself.
Thanks in advance.....
