Face Crop requires Photoshop CC 2021 version 23.0.0 or higher. You need to update to the latest Photoshop release.
***Actions Install Required*** The Pixnub resources actions need to be installed. You can download the actions from this link.

The license key entered is already activated on the maximum number of computers. Activating this computer will clear ALL other current activations. Any other computers running with this license key will need to be reactivated. For a multi-computer license, you may also first deactivate a specific computer before activating this computer. Doing this would avoid clearing all activations. That can be done under the Manage License button on the computer that needs to be deactivated.
Activate This Computer
The license key is disabled. This may be due to upgrading the license key to a new key or for other reasons. Please contact Pixnub support if you need more details.

Resume Batch? The last batch ran from this folder was aborted. Do you want to resume the last batch or start over? IMPORTANT - If you resume the batch the you must use the same data file and images. Using a different data file or resuming with different images in the folder can cause some groups to not be completed. If you are resuming a batch that was running memory mates then you may end up extra saved files from the group where the batch was aborted. The resume feature starts over at the beginning of the group where the batch was aborted.
Renumber Image Slots Note: Renumbering the image slots will NOT renumber the slots based on the physical image location on the canvas. Renumbering the images slots will renumber the slots when there are skipped slot values. For example, if you edit a template that had slots 1-100 and removed slots 41-51 then the template would have slots 1-40 and 51-100 before renaming. After renaming, the template would have slots 1-90 with no skipped slot numbers. However, the numbers will not be rearranged by physical location. For example, if you placed slots 1-5 in the middle of the design then those slots would still be in the middle of the design after renumbering.
Select Group ID The data sheet contains multiple Group IDs. Select the group ID that you want to create a composite for.
Filename for yearbook Note: Each page file will be appended with the page number.

The recenter bottom row feature will realign the bottom row to the canvas when template has extra slots. So for example, if you run a class of 28, but the nearest template layout is for 30, then the last 2 slots would be deleted and the bottom row would be re-centered. In order for this to work, the row layers must be grouped into group folders with the standard EZ Composites group folder naming of ROW-1, ROW-2, ROW-3, etc. Also, you must ensure that the Photoshop move tool is set to Canvas alignment, not Selection alignment. You will need to set this before running in order for the bottom row re-centering to work.

*** Auto Show Home Screen Preference *** In order to run a batch, the Auto Show Home Screen preference must be turned off in the Photoshop preferences. The reason is because when the home screen toggles on and off between images it can interrupt the batch processing. On Windows, the preference is under Edit > Preferences in the menu, in the General Section. On Mac, the preference is under Photoshop > Preferences in the menu, in the General Section.

Text Replacement The text replacement testing is for testing group level text items that you create in the graphics to ensure you have the layers set up correctly.
Note: The text layers for individual images in the layout files created by the layout designer don't need to be tested. Those layers will always work as is after teh layout generator creates the layers.
