I work in Adobe Photoshop CS5, but everything we’ll cover applies to newer versions, too Adobe hasn’t made any major updates to its scripting API since CS5. Codecademy, for example, has pretty neat interactive lessons. If you are not familiar with JavaScript at all, fear not! There are plenty of places to learn the basics of programming. But you should at least have a basic understanding of JavaScript and some experience with properties and methods to get the most out of this article. You don’t have to be an advanced programmer to be able to write scripts I’m just a graphic designer, like most of you.
When you use an action, you can’t really control how it behaves in different situations it is like a videotape that just keeps playing again and again without any change.Ī script is more dynamic its behavior changes according to the parameters you input or the context of its application.
Why should we would learn to script if Photoshop already has pretty nice actions? The answer is interactivity.
