Rev and Photoshop

[Brian Yennie]

Sivakatirswami,

If you are on Mac, you might try using AppleScript to control 
Photoshop. ImageReady also has some automation features involving 
variable placeholders that can be loaded from tab-delimited files, but 
I'm not sure if that would be useful for your metadata needs.
