the script works fine, but it is missing one capability i need – the source files will be a mixed bag of eps files saved with various save options… i want everything to be medium quality jpeg encoding, except for those files set to maximum…
there doesn’t seem to be anyway of getting the encoding or preview type of files before u save them…
does anyone know how i can access this info from the file? i looked at document properties but it was not there (i don’t think)…
try this in your script (where the Variable theFile is your FILE):
set tmpHeader to read file theFile for 1200
set text item delimiters to "%ImageData:"
set a to text item 2 of tmpHeader
set text item delimiters to " \"beginimage\""
set b to text item 1 of a
set checkNum to last character of b
if checkNum = "6" then set codecVar to "JPG-Max"
when you read a Photoshop CS2 eps file you get something like this:
TMA, this looks interesting do you know what the other numbers are for just wondering if something like this could be used with a script to check bit depth and channels, so I could check if file needs processing with photoshop before opening them?
example (eps/jpg-max): %ImageData: 1794 1672 8 3 0 1 6
1794: columns / Width of the image in pixels
1672: rows / Height of the image in pixels
8: depth / Number of bits per channel. Must be 1 or 8
3: mode / Bitmap/grayscale = 1; Lab = 2; RGB = 3; CMYK = 4
0: pad channels / Number of other channels stored in the file.
1: block size / Number of bytes per row per channel. Will be either 1 = Data is interleaved or formula (columns*depth+7)/8 = Data is stored in line interleaved format or there is only one channel
6: JPG-Max
(5: JPG-High
4: JPG-Med
3: JPG-Low
2: Data is in hex ascii format
1: Data is in binary/ascii format)
Thanks for that TMA it may prove useful. You have pretty much confirmed what I was thinking. It is mostly for files from our digital photography dept. Looking for 16 bit though.
