How to get the version number of Camera Raw filter, for example, if the current version number is 15.3, then display a prompt with the version number as "15.3".

    Thank you for your response.Actually, what I hope to do is to get the version number of the Camera Raw filter through a script, so that I can determine which version of the Camera Raw filter the system is using.

    Yes, I understand, that is why I wrote: "JavaScript code to come"...

var sysInfo = app.systemInformation;
var regex = /Camera Raw (\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/;
var match = sysInfo.match(regex);
var acrVers = match[0];
alert(acrVers);

    Unless I misunderstand your question, the version number is written across the top of the Camera Raw Filter pop up window.

    By hand you can do...

    Help  >  About plugins  > Camera Raw...  and you'll see that.

    (noticed "Actions and scripting" too late... 😉 )

      Yes, I know that it can be done this way, but I am hoping to obtain the version number through a JSX script, so that I can determine which version the system is using.

      JavaScript code to come...

       

      If it is visible under app.systemInformation then a variable and regular expression should be able to show this. I'm not in front of Photoshop right now, however, I'll update this post later.
