Hi Everyone!,

Is this possible?

we do this step more than 50 times every day.

1. Get selection from alpha mask.

2. we add 10 pixel to top selection and left & right selection to add 30 pixel.

3.finally crop the image use that selection.

Thanks in advance. If anyone guide me how to write this script...?

find the attachment for more clarity.

Please try this..

main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
try{
var doc = activeDocument;
if(doc.componentChannels.length != doc.channels.length){ 
if(doc.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer) doc.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false;
doc.selection.load(doc.channels[doc.componentChannels.length]); 
addMask();
doc.trim(TrimType.TRANSPARENT);
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
doc.resizeCanvas(doc.width+60, doc.height, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
doc.resizeCanvas(doc.width, doc.height+10, AnchorPosition.BOTTOMCENTER);
doc.flatten();
doc.channels[doc.componentChannels.length].remove();
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
    }
}catch(e){alert(e + " - " + e.line);}
}
function addMask(){
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc.putClass( charIDToTypeID('Nw  '), charIDToTypeID('Chnl') );
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Chnl'), charIDToTypeID('Chnl'), charIDToTypeID('Msk ') );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('At  '), ref );
    desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), charIDToTypeID('UsrM'), charIDToTypeID('RvlS') );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}

It is certainly possible.

A Selection’s Bounds-property gives the maximal left, top, right, bottom-coordinates of the Selection.

How is the corresponding alpha channel to be identified?

Is it the only additional Channel, the first, the last, does it have a specific name …?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

Its awesome code. but background color was changed after run the script.

Actulally I also done this code from earlier with this reference link  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/581846)

Thanks for your support....

You only need to make the selection to read the bounds array, after that why not just use the DOM crop and pass new values?

if(documents.length){
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
try {
          var docRef = app.activeDocument;
          docRef.selection.load(docRef.channels.getByName("Alpha 1"), SelectionType.REPLACE, false);
          var SB = docRef.selection.bounds;
          docRef.crop( [SB[0]-30,SB[1]-10,SB[2]+30,SB[3]] );
          app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
          } catch (e) {
                    app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
                    alert(e);
          }
}
