There are varieties of software
available for you to make an identity card but Photoshop too can do a lot with
attractive designs and data import. It would be better if you know some basic
knowledge of Photoshop in order to avoid time consuming and low quality
designs.
Before we proceed to create
multiple identity cards with a single click, you have to prepare the Id format
and then import in Photoshop for placing the required data. Then, take the
Horizontal Typing Tool or just press T from the keyboard. Type the basic data
information like, “Name”, “Surname”, “Gender”, “DOB”, “Blood Group”, “Photo” and so on.
Next, prepare a particular folder
for the new identity cards to be created soon. Inside the folder make sure to
have the MS Excel, Resized Passport Photos of the same size like, 3 cm x 3.5 cm. Within the MS Excel you
are supposed to enter the same data details as it is in Photoshop. The following
step is to enter the details of the employees or students. Once it is done then,
move on again to Photoshop to proceed with the remaining tasks.
Go to Image tab then, select the Variables
+ Define options. Make sure you are in a Define mode and do not select anything except the Text Replacement.
In the Text Replacement area replace the existing text “TextVariable1” with
“Name” and follow the same process with the rest. And for the photo select the
Pixel Replacement and replace the default text “PixelVariable1” with “Photo”
and then click “OK”.
Move on to the next step by
pressing the “Next” button then, go to the “Import” option to import the data
saved from Excel and click “OK” to see the results. That’s is all about this
simple trick using Photoshop. If it helps you, do not forget to leave us your
