Photoshop Worker

⚠️ Attention

This project was created long ago and may still be compatible with newer versions of Adobe Photoshop. However, please note that it is no longer actively maintained. Feel free to draw inspiration from it and modernize its workflow according to your requirements.

🛠️ Installation

Requirements

• Windows machine
• Adobe Photoshop installed (tested on 25.0.0)
• Laravel 5.5 requirements (MySQL, PHP 5.4, Composer, and standard PHP extensions)

Setup

Clone the repository to the root directory of your C:\ drive, with the repository's root located at C:\photoshop-worker.

This repository consists of two Laravel projects: web and worker.

First, cd to the web directory and run composer update. Once the update is complete, run php artisan migrate. If any errors occur during migration, double-check the database configuration in the .env file. Next, run the .\START-SERVER.cmd script. This will start the server, which should now be running on port 8030. To verify that the server is running correctly, open your web browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:8030/app/app.html.

In a new terminal, navigate to the worker directory and run composer update, then run php artisan migrate. Once the update is complete, run .\START-SERVER.cmd. This will start the worker server, which should now be running on port 8031.

Open a third terminal window, navigate to the worker directory, and run ./START-QUEUE.cmd to start the queue processor.

Usage

• Visit http://127.0.0.1:8030/app/app.html in your browser and enter whatever name as tenant ID.

• Prepare and upload your PSD file. Ensure that it includes one Smart Object. When you double-click on a Smart Object, it opens a new tab where you can edit its contents.

• Upload or select the image file you want the script to place inside the first Smart Object it finds in the selected PSD.

• Choose the placement mode, Tile and Fill are best suited for patterns, while Center and Fit are preferable for logos.

• Wait for the worker to finish the tasks.

• Select the images you'd like to download as a ZIP file.
