You can do this using BridgeTalk. Check out the attached script -- it opens and resizes linked raster images (TIF, PSD and JPEG) in Photoshop and sets them to 100% in InDesign.

Thank you, Kasyan.

800 lines of script is little be intimidating.

What we are trying to achieve is to open jpgs in Photoshop and resave them as tiffs and replace same jpg with corresponding tiff in Indesign as it was placed before.

Is there a way to call Photoshop from Indesign through appleScript.

I have most of the script done for Indesign and I have Photoshop shript ready that saves jpgs as tiffs done. I am only missing the part where I can call this existing Ph. script from Indisign.

We prefer not to use BridgeTalk if possible, because we have a lot of programs open and running in the same time, and would like to avoid to open one more program (BridgeTalk).

Thank you very much for your great help.

Assuming you're using js, you can use doScript to run an AppleScript script to drive Photoshop. Or you can write the whole thing in AppleScript, and talk directly to whatever apps you like.
