auto copy one pixel row from image....

Question

Can someone help me write a script that:

- from my selection (1 pixel row)

- auto copy selected area to next row into new layer (up or down)... and so on (into the same second layer)... until it reaches the end of the image

- the result is a photos with two layers; in the first is my image and in second is multicolored pattern

You could try this, but from a certain height on simply transforming might be considerably quicker:

// 2012, use it at your own risk;

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

myDocument = app.activeDocument;

// new layer;

var id14 = charIDToTypeID( "CpTL" );

executeAction( id14, undefined, DialogModes.NO );

var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;

var theHeight = theLayer.bounds[3]-theLayer.bounds[1];

var theCheck = false;

var theCounter = 1;

// duplicate, move and merge the layer;

while (theCheck == false) {

if (theLayer.bounds[3] < myDocument.height) {

var theCopy = theLayer.duplicate();

theCopy.translate(0, theLayer.bounds[3] - theLayer.bounds[1]);

theCounter++;

var theLayer = theCopy.merge();

//$.writeln(theCounter);

}

else {theCheck = true};

};

// reset;

app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;

};
