I’m trying to get my head around data-driven graphics. I’m finding the PS documentation a bit hard to follow and was wondering if anyone knew of an online tutorial that takes you step-by-step through a simple setup. Thanks, Pat
Hi Cybernetic Nomad, thanks for post. I did do a pretty long scouring around on Google but came up with no simple step-by-step method of how to get a simple workflow happening with data-driven graphics. Any other ideas?
I’m trying to get my head around data-driven graphics. I’m finding the PS documentation a bit hard to follow and was wondering if anyone knew of an online tutorial that takes you step-by-step through a simple setup. I did root around on Google and ask in the Mac PS forum but was nothing came up.
Ideally I’d like to be able to change text on, say, 20 outputted same-background JPEGs and then take it from there as I believe it can do a lot more. Any links/docs/advice?
Well I’ve got it working for text at least – changing names on a graphic that exports as .PSD files from PS and .gif or .png from ImageReady. I’ll post a little tutorial as soon as I can work out the other bits – visibilty and pixel replacement. Don’t hold your breath!
Yes, Software Cinema it is… Secret Cinema is a musical project. Thanks for the correction, Ramón.
The extract that was available online can be found on one of her DVDs, maybe is there a rebate since it is an old version.
IIRC, the key is to use an excel spreadsheet, with the name of the graphics. But I do not know about the path, I’ll have to dig in my tutorials collection to see if I donwnloaded that clip.
