Question

How to use actionJSON from the javascript scripting engine ?

  Hi all,

 

My software uses the photoshop c++ connection SDK to script Photoshop (2024) by sending javascript code. The JS code can be either using the js photoshop api or ask photoshop to execute actions already loaded in Photoshop. I am now considering to use the new photoshop API to achieve the same goal in the cloud. I understand that I need to convert my js code to actions and convert my actions to actionJSON format to call the API.

 

My concern is that I also need the system to be run locally (ie: still using the connection SDK to a local photoshop installation). Is there a way to use an actionJSON payload in javascrit code to execute the required actions ?

 

Thanks for any hints you can share with me!

The only "hint" I have is that there is a separate forum for Photoshop Developers. As I understand it the API is something you purchase, but there is a free trial.

Do you want us to move your post so you can ask your question there?

Hi Jane,

Sorry for choosing the wrong forum channel, I really though I was in the right place.
If you can move my post in the expected forum, it would be really nice!
