Watermarking/branding images with filename script saving issue

Posted by Patrick Wagner on May 19, 2011 at 4:13 pm

Hi,

I use a script that was from an old post and I’m having some troubles.

I want to print and/or save my files with the watermark of the filename (which works correctly in the script below)

My script loads all images in a folder I specify and then it adds the layer with the filename and that’s it.

I really need it to save as a jpg or png once the layer with filename has been added.

Can someone please help me with this last saving function issue??

Thank you in advance,

the script is below

// Pops open a dialog for the user to

function IsFileOneOfThese( inFileName, inArrayOfFileExtensions ) {

if ( lastDot == -1 ) {
return false;
}
var strLength = inFileName.toString().length;
var extension = inFileName.toString().substr( lastDot + 1, strLength – lastDot );
extension = extension.toLowerCase();
for (var i = 0; i < inArrayOfFileExtensions.length; i++ ) {
if ( extension == inArrayOfFileExtensions[i] ) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

Thank you for your help.
I need help ASAP since I need to complete this project shortly

Look at the Image Processor script built in to Phostshop
