Hi Monks,

I try to resize images with Adobe Photoshop using Win32::OLE. I've written the following script:

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Adobe Photoshop';


my $image_file = './atemschutzmaske.jpg';

# start photoshop
my $ps = Win32::OLE->new('Photoshop.Application') or die $!;
$ps->{Visible} = 0;

# open image
my $desc = $ps->MakeDescriptor();
my $control = $ps->MakeControlObject();
$desc->PutPath(phKeyNull,$image_file);
$control->Play(phEventOpen,$desc,phDialogSilent);

# autolevels
$desc = $ps->MakeDescriptor();
$control = $ps->MakeControlObject();
$desc->PutBoolean(phKeyAuto, 1);
$control->Play(phEventLevels,$desc,phDialogSilent);

# resize to 400 * 400 px
$desc = $ps->MakeDescriptor();
$control = $ps->MakeControlObject();
$desc->PutUnitDouble(phKeyWidth, phUnitPixels, 400);
$desc->PutBoolean(phKeyConstrainProportions, 1);
$desc->PutEnumerated(phKeyInterfaceIconFrameDimmed,phTypeInterpolation
+,phEnumBicubic);
$control->Play(phEventImageSize,$desc,phDialogSilent);

$control = $ps->MakeControlObject();
my $d1 = $ps->MakeDescriptor();
my $d2 = $ps->MakeDescriptor();
$d2->PutEnumerated(phKeyPNGInterlaceType,phTypePNGInterlaceType,phEnum
+PNGInterlaceNone);
$d2->PutEnumerated(phKeyPNGFilter,phTypePNGFilter,phEnumPNGFilterAdapt
+ive);
$d1->PutObject(phKeyAs,phClassPNGFormat,$d2);

(my $outfile = $image_file) =~ s/\.jpg/_thumb.png/;
print $outfile,"\n";

$d1->PutPath(phKeyIn,$outfile);
$d1->PutBoolean(phKeyLowercase, 1);
$control->Play(phEventSave,$d1,phDialogSilent);

$desc = $ps->MakeDescriptor();
$control = $ps->MakeControlObject();
$control->Play(phEventClose,$desc,phDialogSilent);

But I get the following error message:
Bareword "phKeyLowercase" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at ps
+_skript.pl line 46.
Execution of thumbcreator.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

If I leave the line $d1->PutBoolean(phKeyLowercase,1);, Photoshop is started, but no Thumbnail is created.

Now I have two questions:
*) Why is no thumbnail created? Where is the mistake in the code?
*) Is there a list of Photoshop-functions I can use with Perl?

thanks, Renee
