Be careful with Frame layers. You will have problems with Scripts and Image may not be fitted correctly if you are not. Here I placed a Large 8MP 300PPI images into a small low resolution document in a frame. Place created a smart object layer that was so small it dose not fill the frame. For the most part Script worked correctly. However, the script did not see the layer name in the layers palette which was the image name + Frame. The script did not see Frame at the end of the name.. When I change the Layer Name scripts started to have more problems. As the Active Layer Script got the correct layer name but did not know what type of layer it was the layer ID had been changed. processing it as a layer object the LayerKind was correct a Smart Object layer however, the Layer name was still the old image name without the Frame not the new changed layer name.

Very strange was not the rename that change the layer to a different layer ID. Its crazer then that. It seems a Frame layer is more that one layer sort of. If I target the Frame Layer Frame Photoshop Active Layer report the Layer is an undefined type with some layer Id. The layer name is image name space frame. The a layer bounds is that of the created smart object's size. The smart object size is to small the fill the frame because place degraded the large 300ppi image to an image 78px by 117px. If I target the frame layer Image. Photoshop Active Layer report the Layer is a SmartObject layer with a different layer Id than the Frame layer id. The layer name is image name. The a layer bounds of the created smart object size which was not scaled up to fill the frame by the frame too it shoul be. If I scale the image up in size to fill the frame the layer bounds change for both Layer ID.
