Hi Everyone!

 

I'm trying to make a script to apply gaussian blur to the entire image, but I was unable to select the layer and apply the filter to the layer.

app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.hasSelectedArtwork = true;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.applyGaussianBlur(150.0);

I got a window alert with the message: "The command "Gaussian Blur" is not currently available" as seen in the attached image

 

Thanks for your help!

Yes.

 

@mslino65 

And for the beginning:
This code snippet opens in Photoshop the dialogue for the Gaussian blur with the value specified in the script.

 

app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.applyGaussianBlur(30);

Ensure the layer is selected:

app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];

 

Check if the layer is visible and unlocked:

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.allLocked = false;

 

Apply the Gaussian Blur:

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.applyGaussianBlur(150.0);

If the issue persists, verify that the active layer is an image layer and not a text or adjustment layer, as the Gaussian Blur filter may not be applicable to these.

    Are you in the right forum?

    Is this really a Photoshop script question?

    Was the script created by yourself or by ChatGPT?


    Because ‘hasSelectedArtwork’ is part of the Illustrator DOM.

      Ahh! That explains it … 

       

      But the method »applyGaussianBlur« exists in Photoshop’s DOM.

          Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

           

          What is »hasSelectedArtwork« supposed to be? 

          Though photoshop-javascript-ref-2020.pdf is obviously not up to date I don’t know a newer version and I failed to find a reference to the property there.

            sorry you selected the background layer, Does the background layer have a lock?
