Import images to artboards?

(1) Copy the code text to the clipboard

(2) Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not word processor)

(3) Paste the code in

(4) Save the text file as .txt

(5) Rename the text .txt to .jsx

(6) Install or browse to the .jsx file to run

(7) If these simple instructions are too abbreviated, you may need to read in more detail the full instructions:

The Script seems to work here, what is the problem on your set-up?

This would be very desired feature for color grading between multiple images. Working with windows is cumbersome and distracting. The thick borders and shadows ruin how the photo is perceived on a print or in a layout where it is presented without any boarders against white background.

Artboards could serve as a "light table" where you could not only adjust colors in the context of other images, but also place them freely in a specific order for a story/editorial and see them as a whole.

I think this is much desired feature for photograpers and alikes.
