Hey all!
I am trying to find a solution to a problem and don’t have enough knowledge about scripting in Photoshop, so let me explain what I am looking to do.
Scenario:
1. I find stock images (let’s say X and Y) on the internet. Save them in a folder.
2. I use the saved stock images in an ad or as a design element in my design piece. I save out this document as a file (let’s say Z).
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. Automatically read the metadata or xmp data (or even tag the file with custom data on load) for images X and Y.
2. When X and Y are used in my design and saved out in Z, I want to be able to open Z and read the tagged data and be able to identify the data from X and Y in Z.
In simple words what I am trying to do is, when I use multiple image sources in a design piece, I want to be able to open my final design file and track the source files I used, so I can go back to my archive and find them without wasting my time hunting through multiple folders and hard drives.
Any help or alternate solutions/suggestions are welcome and would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ritz
