BOSTON APPLESCRIPT USER GROUP "BAUG" MEETING
Join the Boston AppleScript User Group for their regular monthly
meeting to be held on Tuesday, February 26.
NOTE: There is currently no registration setup for this meeting. Should
that change you will be notified. However, when entering the building
you will be required to present a photo ID.
This month features AppleScripting graphics applications. We will be
demonstrating scripting techniques for GraphicConverter, Adobe Photoshop,
and, Adobe Illustrator.
GraphicConverter (OS X version) is a great image manipulation utility
that supports AppleScript. However, it's AppleScript dictionary is
somewhat different than most applications and involves just a little bit
of learning to "get it". We will be demonstrating these techniques.
Adobe Photoshop, for some unknown reason, has never supported AppleScript
directly. We will be demonstrating two techniques for scripting Photoshop
that do not require the purchase of a plug-in. Both of these techniques
are based on a "shell" script that will handle any Photoshop action that
is passed to it. This includes an action that utilizes a third party
Photoshop plug-in.
Adobe Illustrator (OS X version), for yet another unknown reason, has
supported ApplScript since version 8! (Adobe software development must
occur in separate buildings for each application.) AppleScripting
Illustrator can appear complex yet, as will be demonstrated, if you learn
a few basic techniques the learning curve begins to flatten. Illustrator
is particularly useful for automating the creation of financial charts
from daily data updates.
