Book description
Adobe Creative Suite 3 has fantastic tools for minimizing the
drudgery of
graphics production work: The key is to make your computer and
Photoshop,
Illustrator, and InDesign do rote tasks for you. And although the
concept of
automation may sound intimidating, it doesn’t have to be.
Learn what
automation is, why it’s as natural as breathing, and how it
can take over
routine work, freeing you up to be creative.
· Combine customer data with graphics
for personalized communications
· Customize hundreds or even thousands
of illustrations or layouts in
one pass
· Record tasks with macro-like Actions
in Photoshop and Illustrator,
then reuse them with multiple files
· Learn how scripting languages like
AppleScript and JavaScript can
automate complex workflows, even ones with varying
conditions
