💖 Image::...hotoshop(3) 💖

okay bestie, we're in User Contributed Perl Documentation territory, and this is the manual page for Image::...hotoshop(3). pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're doing this 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::WritePhotoshop.pl — the file that writes Photoshop IRB meta information. that's it, that's the whole job description 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

no, you don't call this one yourself, babe. it's not that kind of file.

This file is autoloaded by Image::ExifTool::Photoshop.

it just... shows up when it's needed. main character energy honestly, it doesn't get summoned, it autoloads 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

inside this file live the routines that write Photoshop metadata. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe.

🎀 NOTES 🎀

okay this is the part you actually need to know, so lock in 🔒

  • Photoshop IRB blocks can have a resource name attached to them, like a little name tag at a sleepover 🏷️
  • By default, when a resource gets rewritten, the existing name is preserved. keeping it, no notes, iconic behaviour.
  • when you're creating a brand new resource, an empty name is used instead. fresh start, blank name tag, we move.
  • BUT 💫 if you want a different resource name, you can define a SetResourceName entry in the tag information hash. that's the unlock.
  • once SetResourceName is defined, you can append a new resource name to the value like this:
VALUE/#NAME#/
fr fr, the slashes and the hashes are literal. not placeholders, not decoration. type them exactly like that. no cap.
  • and if SetResourceName is anything other than '1', then that value becomes the default resource name, and it gets applied if no appended name was provided. so it's like a fallback name tag, standing by, ready to serve 🫶
