Hello,
My question is:
Is there anyway I can create barcodes within Photoshop without having to copy and paste each one using an external program?
To elaborate on what I am currently doing:
I am in the publishing business. Each one of my products has a different barcode. Now we use a program to manually create a barcode for each product (each product is in a separate file) and copy it to the clipboard then paste it within Photoshop CS.
What I would like to happen (best case scenario):
I would like to have some kind of object (barcode) in Photoshop that can dynamically change based on the filename. In other words; Each file is named a UPC number (barcode number) for example I have files named: 73920502186.psd, 73920502187.psd, 73920502188.psd, and so on… So I would like the barcode that is inside Photoshop to take the file name (just 73920502186 without the extension .psd) and create the barcode dynamically. This way I can create a template in Photoshop for my product and not have to worry about changing the barcode for each one because the barcode would be created from the filename.
I know that this would involve a little programming and the use of an external program to generate the barcode and that’s o.k.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff D.
