Compering For Annual Day Function

Photoshop: centering and strong points, 2 scripts very useful

Photoshop: focus and strong points, 2 scripts very useful

Script Photoshop - Logo If

you work on Photoshop, I think you use benchmarks and guidelines to build better images. Personally I regularly seeks the center of my paper and very often the strengths of my image. I'd do not insult you by explaining what the center of an image but a little explanation is needed for the points of strength ...

If you divide an image into 3 the vertical direction and do the same in the horizontal lines you get called "lines of force." Their intersection form 4 points called "strong points". When you build an image it is important to place the main elements based on these points because our eye is drawn primarily on the latter.

You are aware that Photoshop has a tool to automate tasks useful called "Scripting" or "Actions" in French.

Rather than calculating each time the center of your image and to place your markers or worse, get out the calculator to identify where are the third document, it is interesting to use scripts to let Photoshop do the work for you. Why complicate things?

Today I propose you 2 scripts that will place markers at the center and a third of your image in order to identify a glance the lines and points of strength.

At first he just download the scripts HERE. Then you must place the file "Graphisme.atn" in the Actions folder (or scripts in English) of Photoshop. This file is located in C: \\ Program Files \\ Adobe \\ Photoshop \\ Presets \\ Actions.

Then, in Photoshop, you display the Script window (shortcut F9) in the top right of this, click the small arrow to access the menu, choose "Load script ..." and go for the script you just downloaded.

A new set "Graphics" now appears in your window. This folder contains a script "center" and a script "strong points". To start any action, position yourself on one of two scripts and click the play button at the bottom of the window scripts. (The button is symbolized by a triangle). And Voila! Your marks will appear on your image.
