Hello, please tell me how to indicate in the script the conditions "if the document is 8 bits then .... if 16 bits then ...".

Thank you.

    I have been critical of the new forum search feature, however, in this case it did return a useful result (from 2017, luckily it was not prior to 2016):

app.bringToFront();

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var bpc = doc.bitsPerChannel;

if (bpc === BitsPerChannelType.ONE) {
    alert("1 bpc");
} else if (bpc === BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {
    alert("8 bpc");
} else if (bpc === BitsPerChannelType.SIXTEEN) {
    alert("16 bpc");
} else if (bpc === BitsPerChannelType.THIRTYTWO) {
    alert("32 bpc");
}
