In the realm of Adobe techs, the underutilization of certain features is a puzzle I've long pondered. My theory revolves around the absence of an omniscient narrator, someone capable of weaving the intricate tales of these technologies into a coherent story. Enter Davide Barranca, a rare expert who, standing at the crossroads of Ps mastery and the technological labyrinth of UXP, extracts and shares the keys we all need to forge ahead. Whether you're immersed in the world of Photoshop or exploring the potential of UXP, Professional Photoshop UXP is the compass you've been seeking…

« Optimiser InDesign pour les documents longs »
September 20, 2023 | Extras | fr
Un nouveau livre-arsenal de Laurent Tournier vient de paraître : Optimiser InDesign pour les documents longs — Avec les scripts et le GREP. Si vous pensiez à une aimable mise en jambes agrémentée de quelques points de doctrine, vous êtes loin du compte ! Le PDF que l'auteur nous a communiqué en primeur recense plus de 200 scripts du monde entier, tous testés en situation, et le même volume de commandes GREP couvrant les problématiques les plus étendues. L'idée était déjà géniale en soi, mais la mise en œuvre, par sa densité et sa précision, fait tomber à la renverse…
Meet Kasyan Servetsky, InDesign Wizard!
August 01, 2023 | Extras | en | fr
At the same time graphic designer, illustrator, prepress expert and scripting guru, Kasyan Servetsky has become one of the most active resource sharers in our microcosm. The InDesign community knows him well (but not enough for my taste!) because of the dozens of great utilities he has created over the past two decades: converters, batch processors, link managers, image resizers, font collectors, and many other gems. Let's step into the lab of this productivity freak…
IndexMatic³ in the Spotlight of CreativePro Magazine
May 11, 2023 | Extras | en
If we judged the value of a magazine by the merit it gives to our work, I could tell you straight away, without further proof, that CreativePro is an excellent magazine! But that's not the real reason why I think so. In his review of IndexMatic³ published this month, Jeff Potter offers a meticulous and thoughtful exploration of what the product does and doesn't do, who it is for, from what perspective and for what purposes…
Getting Started with IDJS (InDesign UXP Scripting Format)
January 11, 2023 | Extras | en | fr
The funniest thing I've read about the ExtendScript-to-UXP migration is in the (AI-generated?) documentation from Adobe: “ExtendScript uses an antiquated version of JavaScript (ES3), from the era when JavaScript was coded on punched cards.” LOL! Adobe is trying to make us feel like our JSX scripts are ancient artifacts, but let's see if IDJS will actually bring about a technological revolution in InDesign…

† Theunis de Jong (1966–2020)
December 05, 2020 | Extras | en | fr
Better known under his nickname “Jongware”, my colleague and friend Theunis de Jong died on November 28 at the age of 54. The InDesign community loses one of its brightest stars, indisputably the most prolific “problem solver” in the scripting realm during the last twenty years. (Tribute)
GREP et InDesign, deuxième édition
June 26, 2020 | Extras | fr
Bref billet pour aviser nos lecteurs de la nouvelle édition du guide de référence GREP et InDesign de Laurent Tournier. Hébergée par indigrep.com et délivrée au format PDF pour la (trop) modique somme de 10 €, cette nouvelle mouture répond aux requêtes de mise à jour qui n'en finissaient plus de submerger l'auteur. Il faut dire que l'édition inaugurale (publiée à l'époque chez Dunod) datait de… 2009 ! On imagine qu'en onze ans pas mal de nouveautés et de subtilités se sont insinuées dans le moteur d'expressions régulières d'InDesign. Ce nouveau volume, intelligemment retravaillé sur le fond et sur la forme, devrait combler les insatiables du GREP pour la décennie à venir…

Feature Request | Could InDesign Make “No Break” Smarter?
September 09, 2019 | Extras | en
While hyphenation settings can be adjusted at the Paragraph level, Character options only provide a boolean “No Break” attribute which prevents line breaks whatever the location of the text in the layout. There are cases where this binary parameter seems too rigid…

IDUG Paris : présentation IdExtenso [PDF]
May 23, 2018 | Extras | fr
Ce mardi, l'équipe du InDesign User Group Paris a accueilli votre serviteur en grandes pompes — enfin, pointure 42, n'exagérons rien — pour une initiation en douceur au framework IdExtenso. Plutôt que de m'égarer dans une technicité inaudible, j'ai profité de cette invitation pour rassembler quelques repères sur le scripting InDesign, échantillons à l'appui, avec des pistes pour les développeurs plus motivés. En résulte un PDF que j'ai la faiblesse de tenir pour un bon préambule si vous vous lancez dans l'automatisation pour InDesign : IdExtenso-Slides.pdf (1,4 Mo).
IdExtenso: ExtendScript Framework for InDesign Ninjas
April 20, 2017 | Extras | en
Driven by a mix of vanity and liberalness I decided to make public the building blocks of my InDesign scripting framework, which I called IdExtenso. The alpha release is now available on my GitHub account and will be regularly extended in the coming weeks and months…

“HTML Panels Development,” the Path to CC Extensions
July 08, 2016 | Extras | en
Extending the capabilities of Creative Cloud apps is a Grail Quest for many users. Although it has been made possible (almost blindly) with Adobe Configurator, the new HTML panel architecture requires a huge cognitive leap. Alas and alack, no adequate documentation is available that would both synthesize knowledge and accompany learning. I mean, was available! Thanks to Davide Barranca and its “PhotoShop panels development” book and course, every developer can now access a solid, unfragmented information about Adobe HTML panels and extensions. And convert theory into practice…
“InDesign automatisieren,” a Scripting Bible (in German)
December 01, 2015 | Extras | en
It took me time to read the second edition of Gregor Fellenz' InDesign automatisieren since I do not speak German (!) but this book certainly is the best print reference for discovering InDesign scripting realm. Non-German speaking readers might find it pointless to review this book on my website. However it fills a huge gap and should be considered a model by many of us…
