I am new to photoshop scripting. I want to load an image image (from my hard disk) into the active document as a new layer with positioning. How can this be done? Can somebody please share the code? Thanks Myra You can open Photoshop File Dialog for searching your image and adding that into a layer file = app.openDialog();//opens dialog,choose one image if(file[0]){ //if you have chosen an image app.load(file[0]); //load it into documents backFile= app.activeDocument; //prepare your image layer as active document backFile.resizeImage(width,height); //resize image into given size i.e 640x480

I took a look at Photoshop CS5 Scripting Guide and Photoshop CS5 JavaScript Reference , but I couldn't find out a method to write text to a plain text file. Is there any way to do that? I want to record the value of bounds of each layer object in a document. Any hint? nobody File system access is documented in Adobe's JavaScript Tools Guide (PDF) .

Newer versions of Photoshop (CS5 and CS6 are the only ones I've worked with) support a feature called Droplets that lets you create executables to run a set of actions.

The PS6 JavaScript API has a method called doAction() that might be what you are looking for. http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe

I am looking for a script that would open a given number of images with different aspect ratios and layout them all in a single document like the flickr gallery. Something as seen in this page: http://martin-oehm.de/data/layout.html Is there any script/plugin out there that can do this? The purpose is just to create a reference file with all the images instead of having several images floating around. Thank you The fact that you have had no answers in 10 weeks should tell you that Photoshop is maybe not the best/easiest place to do this.... so, I made the following script that does it pretty
