Photoshop droplets are only one form of program that can be used by ITP’s
actions subsystem - they are singled out because they are the most com-
mon form of script that will be used. Any program that can be triggered
to process a specific file from the command line and can be configured to
operate within the rules describ ed earlier in this chapter will function with
this system. ITP does not use any program-specific code at this stage, and
uses generic procedures to trigger the desired steps. This gives users a wide
degree of latitude and allows many programs to interoperate with our au-
tomation systems. It is important to note that while the system is designed
to be modular we cannot test against every program in existence so we can’t
guarantee the system will work with any specific packages.
