Takeaways

• 😀 Prepare your ID card template and data (NIP, name, job) before starting the automation process in Photoshop.
• 😀 Ensure that the images used for ID cards are of the same size (3 cm x 4 cm) to maintain uniformity.
• 😀 Use Photoshop's 'crop' tool to set image dimensions and save them as JPG format for easy importation into the template.
• 😀 Link the image file to the ID card design using Photoshop's 'alt' key and image holder feature to automatically position photos.
• 😀 Organize your data in Excel with columns for NIP, name, job, and photo filenames, and save it as a tab-delimited text file (.txt).
• 😀 Import the .txt data file into Photoshop to automatically populate the template with the corresponding data and images.
• 😀 Use Photoshop's 'Variables' feature to map each data field (e.g., NIP, name, job) to the appropriate placeholder in the design.
• 😀 After importing the data, check that all the fields (NIP, name, job, photo) are filled correctly for each ID card entry.
• 😀 Save the populated ID card design as individual PSD files for each entry, ensuring each ID card is saved separately.
• 😀 To streamline printing, use Photoshop's 'Image Processor' to convert the PSD files into JPG format, ready for printing.
• 😀 This method automates the data entry process for ID cards, saving time and reducing errors when creating a large number of cards.

Q & A

What is the main goal of this tutorial?

The main goal of this tutorial is to teach viewers how to automatically input data and photos into an ID card template using Photoshop, making the process more efficient when printing multiple ID cards.

What software is used in the tutorial to automate the ID card creation process?

The tutorial uses Photoshop to automate the process of inputting data and photos into the ID card template.

What type of data should be prepared before starting the process?

Before starting, you need to prepare data for the ID card, including the NIP (identification number), the teacher's name, the teacher's job field, and the image (photo).

How can you ensure that all photos have the same size?

You can ensure that all photos have the same size by using the 'Crop' tool in Photoshop, setting the dimensions to 3x4 cm, and saving them in JPG format.

Why is it important to name the photo files correctly?

It's important to name the photo files correctly (e.g., using JPG format) and ensure they are in the same sequence as the data in Excel so that Photoshop can automatically link the photos with the corresponding data fields.

How do you input data from Excel into Photoshop?

Data from Excel can be input into Photoshop by saving the Excel file as a .txt file with tab-delimited format. The file contains the necessary information like NIP, name, job, and image file names.

What is the role of the 'Variables' feature in Photoshop?

The 'Variables' feature in Photoshop is used to define which data will go into specific text fields and which images will be placed in the designated image boxes. This allows Photoshop to automatically populate the ID card template with the correct information.

How does Photoshop handle the import of data when creating multiple ID cards?

Photoshop can import data using the 'Variables' feature and link the data file (e.g., .txt) to the design. It will automatically generate the ID cards, replacing the placeholders with the actual data and photos.

What is the purpose of exporting files as PSDs in this tutorial?

Exporting the files as PSDs allows Photoshop to create individual files for each ID card, which can then be used for further adjustments or batch processing.

How can you convert the ID card PSD files into JPG files for printing?

You can convert the PSD files into JPG files by using Photoshop's 'Image Processor' script, selecting the PSD files, and choosing the JPG format for the output. This makes the files ready for printing.
