3. Re: "automatic sorting"
Paul Riggott Nov 21, 2012 1:24 AM (in response to boris_m25)One way it can be done is with a couple of scripts...
Create masks...

c.pfaffenbichler Nov 21, 2012 1:26 AM (in response to boris_m25)Paul Riggott has offered a Script for distributing Layers
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4863226#4863226
but it might not be a perfect fit here.
What process exactly do you want to achieve?
Select a folder or files, have them placed and arranged in an open document or a specific file on your hard drive, apply the Layer Styles, …?
Have you checked out whether Contact Sheet II or Contact Sheet X might suffice for the task?

Edit: Ah, Paul has chimed in already anyway …

5. Re: "automatic sorting"
boris_m25 Nov 21, 2012 1:37 AM (in response to c.pfaffenbichler)i need to import pictures scale on the exact mesure, after that arrange tham like is it in the picture...and use the predefined style...for this image i need aproximatly 30-60sec.
Shift+ F11 (open blank document with grid)
import 9 pictures (Shift+F3 predefined scale)
Arrange tham 3x3
Marquee tool take from one image background and resize it. And than just apply style.
BTW one more question, when importing pictures can i avoid somehow presing the "check mark" or "enter" to import the image

6. Re: "automatic sorting"
c.pfaffenbichler Nov 21, 2012 2:07 AM (in response to boris_m25)Have you given Paul’s Scripts a try yet?
I would recommend considering a different approach altogether, though.
Create one sample file with nine placed Smart Objects, then use a Script to replace those and save as a new file.

c.pfaffenbichler Nov 21, 2012 3:46 AM (in response to boris_m25)For switching in images in an open file containing Smart Objects something like this might work.

8. Re: "automatic sorting"
JJMack Nov 21, 2012 6:23 AM (in response to boris_m25)What you want to do is very easy to do with Photo Collage Templates and Photoshop Scripts. Video demo of a collage template being populated. Any image file format size and resolution can be used. However collages that have image areas with aspect ration that closely match images aspect ratios work best. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PopulateCollage.html My free Photoshop packages can be downloaded from the following link http://www.mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html check out Photo Collage Toolkit.
