  • Cheapest Photoshop that supports Spine Export Script

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?

If GIMP supports scripting and supports PSDs, I'm sure a script could be made to do the same.

I think CS2 is available from Adobe free right now but I dunno if that's worth getting into. It's a mess.

I don't think CS2 is free, that whole fiasco was a misunderstanding about CS2 upgrades or something.

I'm all for including a script that does the same for Gimp. I haven't scripted Gimp before but it shouldn't be too hard. Not sure when I can get to it but I put it in the backlog:

I was pretty sure it was a legit free thing: http://gizmodo.com/5973730/grab-photosh ... right-here
I just meant that it was the slowest version ever, and that I'm not sure the current psd-to-json script will work. (and you need to sign up for a free account?)

Ah, haha. That's funny. No free stuff here.

I'll be taking a look at porting the photoshop script to GIMP. Just have a couple of other things I need to finish first. I did make the original PS script, Nate then cleaned up the code and added a couple of things, hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle to port.

Wow what cool devs, that's great to hear !

Thanks for letting me know Nate & Shiu.

P.S. Yes GIMP does support PSD files, and uses Python scripts (among others I believe, I'm no expert nor involved with the project). However I believe GIMP actually ONLY works with Python PRE 2.7 (I have 2.6 installed). Hopefully they update their Python support in the future.

Hi,

I came across this thread when searching for a GIMP plugin to export to Spine. Since the feature looks to be pretty low on your backlog, I decided to implement it myself:

https://github.com/clofresh/gimp-spine

Regarding GIMP Python version, I don't think it matters what version of python you have on your system since GIMP bundles its own version of python. At least that's the case for the OSX version I'm using.

Thanks for sharing! 🙂 I'll reply to your email a bit later today.

CS2 Photoshop works fine. I had to modify the Spine export script slightly from the more advanced version in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2896

I had to comment out anything to do with "SaveSettings" or "LoadSettings" as CS2 doesn't support the functions used for that - not a big loss. Everything else worked fine.

Superb work! Thanks a ton!

Would be nice if we could detect the Photoshop version and skip the code that isn't compatible. I don't really want to find and install CS2 though. Any contributions? 😃

I wanted to thank you for this, by the way. Just a really great little thing.
