From ADAM to Photoshop contact sheet

Adam creates an order for each 4 images and hands them over to SWITCH. SWITCH uses Photoshop to create a contact sheet of these 4 images.

This flow is compatible with: PowerSWITCH Microsoft Windows only.

Information

The first element in this flow "Load from ADAM" is a Visual Basic Script. On this script element you can set a time interval that defines how much time should be in between 2 runs of the script.

When the Script runs, a connection is made with the ADAM database and depending on the search expression set in the properties; a number of records are exported. For each 4 records an ADAM order is created and a folder with these 4 files is handed over to SWITCH.

SWITCH hands every job (containing 4 files) to the next script element. This time a Visual Basic script will use Photoshop to create a contact sheet. The result is 1 contact sheet per 4 files in the output folder.
