merge data with image

[blkblts]

I have an .xls file with names of customers. I have a photoshop template that is a magazine cover. I have several pictures in a directory. How do I merge the data? I want to automate a batch so it adds my jpg and name to the magazine cover.

Thanks

Hi,

This will not be possible. You can't have photoshop extract data from a native file format (.xls) and have it place the text into photoshop itself.

What exactly are you rying to do here? Make labels to go on the magazine for mailing?

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply.
I'm trying to do what a photo sports lab does when I order a magazine cover. I send an .xls spreadsheet or database that had the person's name and .jpg in a row. Then somehow they merge this data with the template and print the picture.
I don't want to have to hand type all the names in the .psd template and then save as a .jpg for printing. I am looking for something to automatically do this. I am probably looking for a stand alone software or something.
