Information about each method shows in the Description field when you hover on the name. I'm choosing "Fill," which will resize the image proportionally, but you may prefer something else. Once you have these set up, select the image layer, and under Image > Variables > Define you will get this dialog (I checked the "Pixel Replacement" checkbox, since that's what we need to use):Ĭhange the "Name" field to your chosen variable name ("Image") and set the "Method" to what you need. The image layer must be an actual layer, not the background. Lets assume that you need two layers: the image (variable) and the number (a text layer, variable). You can use relative or absolute paths for the filenames: Note that the image filenames have no path only because they are in the same folder as the data file.
Here's the one I mocked for this exercise. You'll need a comma- or tab-delimited file with a name for each variable (I'm going to use "Image" and "ImageNumber"). On the other hand, it's years since I used this myself, so constructing this tutorial has been a good refresher. It depends how you define "simple." Photoshop has variable data functionality built in, but it's not terribly well documented and is considered an inappropriate subject for polite conversation, such as at cocktail parties or church socials.
