I’ve done a blog post with a 10 min video for those interested enough to run a scale & text watermark images script from within TextWrangler.
The script uses MovingImages to do the processing. For large numbers of images I believe this script is faster than other scripting solutions for scaling and watermarking images.
Most of the scripts are accessed by running them from the command line, but I decided it would be good to try different approaches to scripting so I’ve got a few scripts to run from within TextWrangler. I’d be keen to hear about peoples experience with using this script.
Yep. I wrote it to be fast. I really appreciate you providing feedback. If you have any specific image processing scripting need let me know and I’ll see if I can whip something up for you, unless one of the scripts I’ve already written can do the job.
Ha, it’s a deal! I didn’t really understand what I was doing because all I’ve done is Applescript, but with good instructions I can sometimes “monkey see monkey do” my way around.
For this kind of project I usually have my file path and the variable text I want to write to the image in Filemaker Pro, and step thru the database records one at a time, creating the new images one by one. I have the feeling that using MI one at a time in this way could possibly still be faster than anything else I’ve used. (I haven’t tested this scenario yet, though.)
