Instalation

AutoTypeSetter is a photoshop plugin, meaning that all you have to do is drag and drop it into your Scripts Folder!

  1. Download the latest release

  2. Extract the folder from the .zip downloaded, and simply paste it on your Scripts folder. This folder is generally located at: (Program files)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Presets\Scripts

  3. Open Photoshop (or restart it, if it was already open), and go to File>Automate to find your newly installed AutoTypeSetter.

Scripts Location

  • Optional: You can assign a hotkey to the program. Go to Edit>Hotkeys and, in the navigator, find the program located at File>Automate, and assign a hotkey!

  • Optional: You can change the color of the button on the menu. Go to Edit>Menu and in the navigator, find the program in File>Automate, and assign a color!

Example of Usage

Disclaimer: This is the basic usage of this script. Not all features are covered.

  1. Organize your files into a folder containing the pictures to be typesetted, and a .txt file.

example of folder

1.1 The .txt file must contain the text to be inserted, each line being one text layer to be added. You must use an identifier to separate the content of diferent files. It has to be a whole line, separating two different pages. The identifier can be anything, from ">>" all the way to "Page", and it can be placed at either the begginning or/and the end of the separating line. Also, you must insert the name of the file without the extension, to identify which file will receive which text.

example of .txt file

  1. Open AutoTypeSetter

2.1 Configure the application as you wish. You can also import configs and save your custom configuration for future sessions.

2.2 Do not forget to properly specify the page identifier!
