How get layer pixels data to script / upload image to database using extension

[kugelis123]

Hi,

I am new in PS scripting and I am developing HTML/JavaScript extension.

I am looking for the best way to get all document or just selected layers/groups pixel data (array buffer or etc) that I could get in to my extension, and extension then would upload that data in to my database over simple REST call.

I would prefer JavaScript(or/and JSX) solution over C++

May someone can help me by dropping link to information, or class/function name that I would be able to find in reference pdf?  In HTML there is canvas.getImageData(), it may be getDocumentPixmap or layer.getPixMap , etc.

Thank you!

Hi,

there's no way, to the best of my knowledge, to retrieve pixel data from straight ExtendScript.

A solution might be to call a Generator script (which can grab pixels), but I'm not particularly into that, alas. Tom Krcha has some tutorials about it you may want to look at.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! I will look to that.

I might just save temp file and upload it over JavaScript Socket().
