I'm using this

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS6"

  resize canvas height -1 anchor position top center

end tell

I want to reduce the size of the image by 1 pixels from the top center. But when I do it manually I would use the "relative" check box,

How can I do this?

please

Sorry,

only in Javascript (ala Michael L Hale)

activeDocument.resizeCanvas (undefined,UnitValue((activeDocument.height.as('px')-1),"px"), AnchorPosition.TOPCENTER);

Perhaps you can translate this by yourself.

As I understand it, AS has a command to execute javascript so you shouldn't need to translate unless you want pure AS. Look under 'do javascript' in the Photoshop AppleScript Reference.
