Hi there

I have written a photoshop script. But instead of placing the file in the script folder, I want to run it from api. I'm not sure if its applicable to do that in photoshop. Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks,

Kishor

What is API?  A script can be run from anywhere. None of my scripts are in \presets\scripts\

Hi JJMack

I want to connect photoshop remotely and run the script from web api. photoshop-generator is something that I'm looking for. But i'm struggling to work jsx in it.

A script can be run from anywhere. Does that mean you browse the script?

Thanks

Kishor

You can Browse for a script. You can hard code the path into an action via recording a browse to the script and you can also link Photoshop  ..\presets\scripts\  to your Script tree and use them via menu>scripts\scriptname.   As far as running  Photoshop via a script using a web api as web application only Adobe can do the.  If you setup Photoshop as a web service that would violate your agreement with Adobe.  Adobe licenses terms is Photoshop use as single use or per seat use for volume licence's.   You could connect to a machine remotely and use Photoshop remotely as the single use seat.Multiple users can not concurrently use a single user licence install.

I'm not a layer but that is how I understand the terms of my subscription seems to mean.
