Integration of Photoshop and MySQL
- by NewToProgrammingWorld
I’m working to integrate Photoshop (CS4, local) with MySQL (Linux, remote), such that: a) image file information, data and meta data can be exported from PS into MySQL where same can be manipulated both manually and calculated, and then b) the MySQL fields can be referenced in Photoshop scripting for further automated image file manipulation, and c) the MySQL fields can be referenced for other purposes such as dynamic propagation of files and associated file data to a website, for example.
I’ve spent many hours running searches for these concepts on StackOverflow, Google, and Adobe Support. I’m coming up empty, which leads me to believe that it’s not natively possible, and that I’ll need some middle language like PHP.
Does anyone know if it’s possible for Photoshop and MySQL to bi-directionally share data? If so, how?
If that’s not possible, what solution(s) might you recommend, in terms of specific tools/technologies that I can research further.
Thank you.
