How to Use the Marionette Script:
Step 1: Install the Pillow Library
The script requires the Python library Pillow for image processing. If you’re unsure whether you’ve installed it before, you can safely install it again.
To install:
1. Select the Install Pillow node in the script.
2. Click Run in the Object Info Palette (OIP), or
3. Right-click the node and select Run Marionette Script.
Step 2: Add Commands to Your Marionette Command Library
To make the script easily accessible:
1. Right-click on each wrapper.
2. Select Convert to Menu Command….
3. Name the command as you want it to appear in the Tools > Marionette Commands menu.
Step 3: Use the Commands
1. Select an image (bitmap) on your drawing area.
2. Navigate to Tools > Marionette Commands > [Your Command Name].
3. Test with sample bitmaps provided in the file’s Sample Images design layer.
Special Notes:
• Running Commands:
Important: These Marionette Wrappers cannot be run directly from the drawing area because they act on selected objects. You must run them from the Tools > Marionette Commands menu.
• Installing Pillow:
The Pillow library will be installed to your User Folder. If needed, reinstall it using the provided Install Pillow node.
• Image Import Settings:
For the AI to Prop commands, always import images as JPEG. Importing as PNG will cause display issues.
Use the AI to Prop with Dialog command to manually adjust import settings if needed. Once configured, the non-dialog version will reuse the last settings automatically.
• Temporary Files:
The script creates temporary images in your User Folder. These files can be deleted at any time.
