Hi all,

First post here

I've started lately to play around with extended javascript (jsx) scripting on Photoshop CS6 (using 32-bit version on Windows 7 Ultimate).

I've had much trouble with 'fill' commands.

This one here gives me an

Error 1200: Internal error
Line: 5
-> app.activeDocument.selection.fill( myColor );

var myColor = new SolidColor();

app.documents.add( 100, 100, 72, "tmp", NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT );
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
app.activeDocument.selection.fill( myColor );

I read somewhere that giving all the parameters to the fill method could solve it, but it gave me the same result.

I've also tried the fillPath method from PathItem, but it gave also an internal error (1200).

var myColor = new SolidColor();

var docRef = app.documents.add(500, 700, 72, "Simple Line")

var lineArray = new Array()
lineArray[0] = new PathPointInfo
lineArray[0].kind = PointKind.CORNERPOINT
lineArray[0].anchor = Array(100, 100)
lineArray[0].leftDirection = lineArray[0].anchor
lineArray[0].rightDirection = lineArray[0].anchor
lineArray[1] = new PathPointInfo
lineArray[1].kind = PointKind.CORNERPOINT
lineArray[1].anchor = Array(150, 200)
lineArray[1].leftDirection = lineArray[1].anchor
lineArray[1].rightDirection = lineArray[1].anchor
lineArray[2] = new PathPointInfo
lineArray[2].kind = PointKind.CORNERPOINT
lineArray[2].anchor = Array(100, 200)
lineArray[2].leftDirection = lineArray[2].anchor
lineArray[2].rightDirection = lineArray[2].anchor
var lineSubPathArray = new Array()
lineSubPathArray[0] = new SubPathInfo()
lineSubPathArray[0].operation = ShapeOperation.SHAPEXOR
lineSubPathArray[0].closed = true
lineSubPathArray[0].entireSubPath = lineArray

var myPathItem = docRef.pathItems.add("A Line", lineSubPathArray)
myPathItem.fillPath(myColor, ColorBlendMode.NORMAL, 100, true, 0.0, true, true)

This example only works if there is not parameters at all given to fillPath (it's filling with black).

Does anyone know how I could work around this? Is it a known bug?

Thanks all!

Javascript Code to select by layer names in Photoshop File!! (using the Jam engine or otherwise)

≫ Next: how can i clean all guides in photoshop?

≪ Previous: Is there a Photoshop Script for resizing photos for social media?

I have a series of *.jsx files that run on the jam engine, to automatically create a series of image results from template files containing smart objects.

My question is!!!

Is there a way to select a specific layer/smart object, other than calling out the layer name?!! I ask because sometimes layernames are incorrectly renamed or deleted, and I would prefer a more failsafe method than depending on layer names to render files correctly.

Is it possible to select layers by color? Size? Position? Meta Data?

Or alternatively, is there a way in the code that I can lock the names of layers so it is impossible to change them?

A apologize for the vagueness of the question, I cannot find any options in the Photoshop API reference PDF

With much appreciation,

Save As PNG script

≪ Previous: are we get the area of Layer item in layers pannel

Hello,

I'd like some help with this script if possible

I wanted to save my open file to PNG format in the same location with the same name. I managed to do that with the scripts below.

This is a script I found on the forum:

#target photoshop
main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
try{    var Path = decodeURI(activeDocument.path.parent);    }catch(e){return;}
if(!Folder(Path).exists){    alert(Path + " Does not exist!");    return;    }
var Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var saveFile = File(Path + "/" + Name + "_bump.png");
sfwPNG24(saveFile);
//Uncomment the line below if you want to close the document.
//app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
}
function sfwPNG24(saveFile){
var pngOpts = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb;
pngOpts.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG
pngOpts.PNG8 = false;
pngOpts.transparency = true;
pngOpts.interlaced = false;
pngOpts.quality = 100;
activeDocument.exportDocument(new File(saveFile),ExportType.SAVEFORWEB,pngOpts);
}

And this is how I modified it (so that it saves the file in the same folder and doesn't add any suffix to the name; also changed to save as PNG instead of using save for web):

#target photoshop
main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
try{    var Path = decodeURI(activeDocument.path);    }catch(e){return;}
if(!Folder(Path).exists){    alert(Path + " Does not exist!");    return;    }
var Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var saveFile = File(Path + "/" + Name + ".png");
sfwPNG24(saveFile);
//Uncomment the line below if you want to close the document.
//app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
}
function sfwPNG24(saveFile){
var pngOpts = new PNGSaveOptions;
pngOpts.compression = 9;
pngOpts.interlaced = false;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngOpts, true, Extension.LOWERCASE); 
}

[b]My problem:[/b]

I don't know what's happening when I try to save a file just created (never saved yet). I thought I would get the Alert message but it doesn't seem to be the case (maybe the alert message in the code is related to a different condition?)

I would like to have a default folder/path in the code so that, if the file hasn't been saved yet, it would be saved in the specified location.

If anyone could do it I would really appreciate it!

Thanks

Hi Everyone!

Looked over the forum and didn't see this issue posted. Sorry if there is a similar issue with an answer!

I'm running into an issue when I try to run the ZXPSignCmd.exe. My current Windows setup is Win 10 64bit and I downloaded the 64bit version of ZXP(4.0.7). I currently have it located in a folder where I keep commands related to specific tools. When I call the command following error prompt & log appear & the command fails to run. Anyone run into this before? Let me know if there are any questions and I'll reply ASAP.

Thanks!!!

Scripting a JPEG 'Save As'

October 13, 2010, 8:53 am

≫ Next: Batch replace smart objects

≪ Previous: ZXPSignCmd not compatible with Windows

I'm doing some work for my company and I need to do what is essentially stop-motion animation... I have my base .psd file, I move a layer in it slightly, save it as a .jpeg, and repeat. And repeat, and repeat, and repeat.

However, it takes way too much time to go through the 'save as' dialogue, change the file name, and change the file type back to jpeg every time.

I don't know anything at all about scripts (writing them OR using them), but from what I've read that's where the solution to my problem lies... a script that will save a jpeg copy of my .psd file with a new name.

In addition to that, it would be AWESOME if that could be set to a key or key combination... like I hit command + ~ and it runs the script.

Can you guys help me?

Batch replace smart objects

≫ Next: Need reference code to use Scripting API for java to resize images

≪ Previous: Scripting a JPEG 'Save As'

Hello,

I have very minimal scripting knowledge, and every script I've found for this workflow is partial or results in "undefined". I am on a mac running Photoshop CC (latest update).

This is what I have:

a mockup file of a book with the cover image set as a transformed smart object
a folder of images resized to fit said smart object

This is what I would like a script to do (if possible):

for every image in said folder
replace smart object with images
save each new mockup (one for each new image) as a PSD file.

We have to create over 40 book, CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray mockups for each flyer we do. Smart Objects help streamline it a little but I'm just going through and using an action right now, which I know is less than ideal. I don't mind if the file names aren't what I need them to be, so incremental file naming would be fine because I could rename them all later.

Any suggestions on how I could streamline this process without having to manually replace and save?

    }  
     
    function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {  
    var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();   
       sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;   
       sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;   
       sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;   
       sfwOptions.optimized = true;   
       sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //0-100   
    activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);  
    }  
//========== Set model to RGB ==========//
doc.changeMode ( ChangeMode.RGB );
//========== set canvas depending on initial width and height ==========//
doc.resizeCanvas(Math.max(doc.width,doc.height),Math.max(doc.width,doc.height))
 
 
//========== check size and do actions acording to size of document ==========//
if (doc.width > 750){
        doc.resizeImage(750,750);
        main();

        doc.resizeCanvas(750,750);
        main ();
        doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); 
}

Now, I am using it as scripts event manager, on document open trigger, and then I drag and drop images, and script do its job. However, if I drag and drop 200 images, PS will load ALL of them, hog my PC, and probably crash.

My question is, how can I set this JSX to run on folder, similar to batch dialog, or image processor, but on those two I can only select Action, no option to select existing jsx script. (guys from Photoshop suggested to record script as Action, but was looking for something more "elegant" so to speak)

Thanks in advance

Error handling - Background or single layer

≫ Next: Aligning two layers by moving only one

≪ Previous: Image Processor Pro not available in Bridge CC 2018

As a newb to scripting, I am struggling with conditional error handling.

The script that I would like to error check is only intended to be run on a document that has multiple layers (not background layer + layers if that makes sense). It should only run if the document index is the second doc open ( app.documents[1] ).

The script closes the temporary working file down without saving after it is duplicated to the target document ( app.documents[0] ), so I don’t wish to accidentally run the script on a file that does not meet the following conditions as work may be lost.

I’d like to cancel the script with an alert if any of the following criteria are met:

Doc only has Background layer
Doc has Background layer + 1 or more layers
Doc has only 1 layer
Only one document open or current document is not the second document opened ( app.documents[1] )

≪ Previous: Error handling - Background or single layer

I'm attempting to vertically align two layers (1 text-based, 1 graphic) by only moving the text. I have tried locking the position of one layer, but then the align command isn't available. I then tried this with the following script, which does work up until the text-based layer is a certain length, at which point I get the following error. It seems that the length limit that causes the error is whenever the text is longer than the document, but why would this affect its vertical (y-position) aligning?

Any way to get around this, and position the text at a given y-coordinate, or aligned with another layer, regardless of text length? Thanks!
