• reapply complex processings to multiple images (just click Run or F5
• easily make changes to parameters in intermediate processing
• use script for external automation of Picture Man 4.2

You can call Picture Man commands from any other application supporting automation, e.g. from Visual Basic Script or Java Script.

To use Picture Man automation server you should first initiate "Pman40.Application". Methods of this object correspond to commands of internal scripting language.

Scripting commands have quite complex syntax to write external script from scratch, but if you use internal script from Macros window than converting it to VB or Java script is easy:

See original internal script of Picture Man 4.2 and how it is to be converted to other languages
