Below is a comment from a client, on a script I wrote to automate the integration of randomized plots created in Excel, brought into PhotoShop to overlap images, and the final image then used to log the randomized analysis of coral reef transects. The script is used to sort, graph, plot, and save hundreds of manipulated image files:
"The script overcomes numerous obstacles including various image sizes and types, user-defined storage systems and naming conventions, differing memory allocation and processor speeds, and the management of large temporary files. Without the script and dotting/storage process the script conducts, the protocol would not be possible. The script is being used in more than 15 Island countries, universities, NGOs, and governmental organizations around the U.S. and Caribbean."
