Photoshop API automation

How a design firm saved countless hours automating content generation-

Googling athletes for acceptable photos, cropping the backgrounds from those photos, and injecting them into Photoshop .psd files was a timely process for the design team. The solution was to build a system to automate away much of the process.

  1. Design a template file

  2. Utilizing SERP API, programmatically scrape Google Search image results and download those images. Next, use face recognition to find images containing only the target athlete. Lastly, crop the background from the image and store it in the cloud.

  3. Now the user simply needs to choose the image and template.

1. build template once

2. cloud process on a schedule generates 1000’s of images by:

  • Scraping Google utilizing SERP API

  • Using face recognition to qualify images

  • Cropping background from image

  • Storing in cloud bucket

3. programmatically replace image and text
