Hi Community, I have a project that requires me printing 7,000 similar images all with a different QR code in the middle. I am trying to find a way to create it without having to send each individually to the print shop. I thought a grid might do it as they are all equal size only difference is the QR code, I have the whole suite, what would be the easiest way to accomplish this?

You can use variables with images so if the codes could be generated as images and placed into a folder? Here’s something from Adobe help that might help you; Creating data-driven graphics in Photoshop

Import the base image in InDesign, let the program create the QR codes based on variables and fire out your PDFs.

Thanks for that answer, it certainly helpful as I did not know this. But in my case, the QR codes are generated by my App so I have to use my own QR codes.

You can use variables in Photoshop to do this. Here’s a quick tutorial I made about using variables and data sets;

Awesome, Thanks so much. My assumption is that this can also be done with images? I am trying to avoid having to drag and drop 7,000 QR code images that are generated by my App. With your answer I can certainly take care of the names of each layer which definitely save me trouble, now can I do this with the QR codes themselves?
