Gimp is indeed an option. I might use nuke as well (it opens psd files). But I think I figured out how to manipulate photoshop with python...
Seems installing pywin32<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/> does the trick. It's important to install the proper version (I run 6 bit windows 7 but I had 32 bit version of python installed so the version of pywin32 needed to be the 32 bit version). Once pywin32 is installed, this code (below) opens photoshop: from win32com.client import Dispatch psApp = Dispatch("Photoshop.Application") >From here, I'll figure out how to manipulate layers etc as well. thanks C On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 4:33 PM, Albert-Jan Roskam <fo...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > ________________________________ > > From: charles le guen <charlesleg...@gmail.com> > >To: tutor@python.org > >Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 9:16 PM > >Subject: [Tutor] using python with photoshop > > > >Hi > > > >I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I want to manipulate psd photoshop files > using python. > > > >Google searches led me to a few cool sites suggesting I need to use > comtypes but that looks like dated technology. for someone working in 64bit > windows 7... > > > >Can anyone tell me the best way to manipulate photoshop with python?
