Beyond Photoshop Variables
Native Data Sets cover simple text swaps. Production personalization needs photo pipelines, conditional layers, multi-template routing, generated codes/maps and bulletproof export — that is what a WatchFolder product automation adds around your PSDs.
Rule examples from real products
- Text: shrink after 12 chars, two lines after 20, switch font weight for all-caps names
- Photos: face-aware crop, fallback frame when upload is portrait vs landscape
- Variants: birthday vs memorial layouts chosen by option field
- Quality gates: low-res uploads flagged to review, never printed blind
