I have been given the task of figuring out a way to redact (i.e. block-out) phone numbers from about 60,000 + scanned documents.
I can do this using most image editors one image at a time but would like to
find a way to make the process more efficient (scripted). Most of the numbers are
in the same general position on the scans but given that the docs were scanned over a period of 3 years by different people, there are several "batches" at different resolutions, etc.
Anyway…
The 60,000+ TIF’s are in 84 folders. I need to somehow:
1. Open the first TIF
2. Ask the user to select the area they would like to redact (i.e. phone number)
3. Black-out the user selected area
4. Save with same filename (maybe overwrite), close and load the next TIF
Ideally, #2 would be the only user-click/input.
Does anyone know how to script this in Photoshop? I know a respectable amount of VBA but never used it to interface w/ Photoshop.
Thanks!
