Macros for Photoshop:
The macros for PhotoShop will have to be modified by the user, according to the filters or plug-ins installed or the version of PhotoShop.

Move Selection - Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M
When moving an object in PhotoShop using the Arrows, it is moved 1 pixel at a time, the actual distance being affected by the zoom level. This macro moves objects in real-life measurements (metric).

Contact Sheet - Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C
Makes a thumbnail of all opened documents and pastes it into a New Document. Great to make prints for evaluating or archiving purposes. It works better with landscape pictures, though the nudging or resizing may be adjusted at will.

Save file(s)*.* in PS + # - A must for people dealing with extensive collections of graphics and would number their files "theme01", "theme02", etc. The macro asks for a model from the user (ex:"theme0"), then reads the last number of the model given (in the last-used folder), writes the info in the registry, then saves the current file with the incremented number.

Change file format - Gives many output options.

Change mode - Is much faster than the plug-in "Conditional Mode Change" via Automate.

Straighten while cropping - A popup menu of 4 macros: gives the possibility to use the Arrows up and down to rotate a picture while cropping it. Gives more control than using the mouse.

Macro for Acrobat:
Extract pages from Acrobat - Automatically makes pdf(s) out of every single page or a new pdf from multiple pages.

Requirements:
Written for PhotoShop CS (8) running on Windows XP.
