personalized images
Personalized images overview
Darwin enables you to create graphically rich, personalized images for
VDP jobs—for example, to display each recipient's name in the form of
a signature on a baseball.
To create personalized images, you use Photoshop ® CS3 software.
Darwin supports the following Photoshop CS3 features:
●
Text layers: You can place variable text in a text layer. All the effects
previously applied to the layer are applied to the variable text.
●
Smart Object layers: You can place a variable image in a Smart
Object layer, which you can scale, rotate, warp, and transform while
preserving image quality.
● Actions: You can select a Photoshop CS3 action to be applied during
image generation.
Note: Make sure that you use unique names for layers that contain
variable content.
