Author Topic: Photoshop script to rasterize vectors (Read 3350 times)

Justanotherphotographer · « **on:** March 23, 2016, 07:22 »

Could anyone please help point me to anything that will let me process a batch of eps files quicker?
The problem is that they aren't all the same aspect ratio so one of the scripts for opening at a certain pixel width or height is no good, I want something that will let me specify the total size (the value on the dialog box when you open an eps vector in photoshop "Image Size: **M" above the actual pixel or cm dimensions).

Can anyone shed any light on this?

What do you call "total size", the image surface in number of pixels (e.g. 15 000 000) or the image weight in MB?

I have never found the answer…
Generally I convert my eps in 15 M pixels jpg images because it is a size accepted by all the sites (where I submit vectors) as preview image, but I have never found a way to create a script or an action to do that automatically. I have to do it one by one using the image size dialog box.
Photoshop gives you only the possibility to set dpi and a maximum length or width.

The total MB as you mentioned. I also have to do it the same way as you, open one image at a time aiming for **M (whatever total I want) by changing the height or width. I was hoping someone has a solution that would let you do it automatically for a batch all with different proportions. It seems like something that should be possible?

No need script! Just create Photoshop action eg: rasterize vector than Automate, batch edit choose action source folder and save and close tab!

I can't find a away to input a total size that will let me me create an action. All I can find a way to do with an action is specify a width or height for the file, basically I need a way to specify widthXheight (other things being equal like colour mode)

File>Script>Image Processor...

You can't set specific sizes for each image, but you set a minimum size.

You did not understood the question (read my post above).
If I have understood well the problem is "How to set a determinate (pre-defined) total weight in MB" not "How to set the dimensions".

As you can set the length and the width numbers, you cannot specify a total weight in MB to reach with automate, batch or image processor.
