Adobe Photoshop Cs2 Official Javascript Reference

While creative professionals spend much of their time working on illustrations, photo-editing, and laying out pages, many parts of their jobs are anything BUT creative. Too often, they spend their time doing repetitive, time-wasting tasks such as placing and replacing images, correcting errors in text, cutting and pasting, and preparing files for printing. Yet virtually every repetitive or time-consuming task that creative professionals have to do in the Adobe Creative Suite can be streamlined with the help of a script. Adobe Creative Suite 2 was designed with built-in JavaScript support, and suite's applications share a framework that make them work well together, so users can create and send scripts and data from one application to another. This book describes how to use JavaScript to manipulate and extend Adobe Photoshop within Adobe Creative Suite 2, and provides reference information for the JavaScript objects, properties, and functions defined by Adobe's applications. Now available in print for the very first time, this scripting reference provides the information experienced JavaScript user needs to create custom scripts for Photoshop, whether you're looking to automate Camera Raw options and settings, automatically resize large batches of images, or create a script to auto-add metadata, like a copyright notice, to selected image files. These are just a few of the ways you can save yourself from hours of repetitive Photoshop tasks by creating your own scripts.Adobe Systems, Inc.
