Hey all. I've been using GIMP so far with an export layers to PNG python script, but I started reading about the script that comes with Spine for Photoshop, and how it not only exports the layers but creates a .json file for Spine that already has all the layers with their positions etc.
I'm definitely interested in speeding up the process and would be happy to use Photoshop for this step instead of GIMP, but I have no interest in shelling out $600 for CS 6 or in handcuffing myself to Adobe's CC subscription service. Adobe's products are great but my needs and budget are not.
So I'm wondering if there is a cheaper form of Photoshop that could work with this script? Could I get an older suite like 3, 4 or 5? Would something like Elements work with the script? I don't have a ton of experience with Adobe's products.
Alternatively if there was a way to do the same thing with GIMP that would be fantastic obviously....
Any thoughts?
