Create 100+ Buttons from Text-Database
#165

Hi,

I have a database with more than 100 text-entries (and they keep
changing) and I would like to generate buttones from an existing empty
jpg-button with the texts printed centered on them and named the files
according to the text-entries.

How can I e.g. import lines from a text-file and print each line on the
button-template and save it under the according name? I know something
about ps-batch-programming but not how to handle the text-issue. I have
found quite a lot buttonmaker-tools or photoshop tutorials, but not
with this functionality.

If not possible in photoshop I would be very interested in a free
windows tool for the same functionality. (Printing text from a list
onto a graphical button template and name the resulting image-files
accordingly)

Any help is highly appreciated
Thank You :-)
Adrian

Its very probably possible using scripts but you will need to 
investigate further unless anyone here has more script info.

here is a starter
