I want to resize a layer to this size 6000x4000
But I didn't find anything in uxp
Does anyone have a piece of code I can use.

Actions and scripting

Layer bounds is still a thing in UXP, so I'd start there:

I'll take a look when I have some free time.

Converting the layer to a smart object and editing the content and using image size to a specific px target is also possible for batchPlay UXP, but has more overhead.

This BatchPlay code was generated with the help of AI (the generated DOM code was useless). Adjust the interpolationType as required:

const app = require('photoshop').app;
const batchPlay = require('photoshop').action.batchPlay;

resizeLayer();

async function resizeLayer() {
    const command = {
        _obj: "transform",
        width: {
            _unit: "pixelsUnit",
            _value: 6000
        },
        height: {
            _unit: "pixelsUnit",
            _value: 4000
        },
        linked: false,
        interfaceIconFrameDimmed: {
            _enum: "interpolationType",
            _value: "bilinear"
        },
    };

    try {
        await batchPlay([command], {});
        console.log("Resize completed!");
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

Curious! Obviously performance and workflow aren't an issue.

Convert to SO
Edit the SO
Image Size
Close/Save the SO
Optionally convert the SO back to a layer or rasterize
