I have a ton of icons 100x100 and I made a droplet to import them into a document as separate layers and make them 125X125. I now need to make all of the images look like they are falling out of a hole, like confetti squares. is there a way I can make each image/layer look like it is falling, randomly ( I don't want each image to have the same perspective.) I really need this to be automated (I have over 500 icons) . If there is no way to do this, please let me know.

Any sort of automation of this sort would be more complex than would be pragmatic. In essence, you're looking for a script that would designate an x/y coordinate for over 500 different icons. I'm not saying it can''t be done... I'm sure there are brilliant programers up to the task. But finding such a person, and convincing them to script this behavior would probably be harder than simply doing the task by hand.

That said, if I were doing this, I wouldn't use Ps for this task. I'd use Illustrator instead. You can import each icon into an Ai file as a symbol, bring all the symbols/icons onto the AI page, and then use the large selection of symbol tools to randomize/arrange all these icons a LOT more easily - a complete breeze, really, when compared to doing the task in Ps. When you're satisfied with the results, simply import this file into your Ps file.

Anyway, just a suggestion. Good luck.
