Hi all,

I'm trying to control Photoshop UI's Feather value on menu bar from script at following place.
I mean changing UI value and not doing "document.selection.feather(123)".

I followed the code from following:

Following is current code and not wokring and causing error.

function setFeather(value) {
     var ar = new ActionReference();
     ar.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), stringIDToTypeID( "tool" ) );
     ar.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
     var ret = executeActionGet(ar);
     var tmp = ret.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));
     var ad = new ActionDescriptor();
     ad.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ar );
     if (value != undefined) tmp.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( "MrqF" ), charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" ), value );  // Double, Pixel
     ad.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "T   " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), tmp ); // Testing: NG
     executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "setd" ), ad, DialogModes.NO );
}
setFeather(456);

Error from ESTK

And data structure dump around Feather part from Getter Demo script (from Xtools) is following.

Line #13 is Feather.

Above is different from Brush structure as following for above other thread code.

Thank you very much again for the code.

It worked perfectly.

Just additional note for someone's help.

"MrqF" is for Marquee tools.

For Lasso tools, it needs to be replaced to "DrwR".

# I got stuck here at verification.

Thank you,
