Here's a script that will ask to open two files. then move the top layer to the first doc and close the second file. It will then resize to 50% (you can change that) and finally move it to x=5 and y=5

var mask = '*.*'
var file1 = File.openDialog ('Open primary file', mask, false);
var doc1 = open(file1);
var file2 = File.openDialog ('Open primary file', mask, false);
var doc2 = open(file2);

activeDocument = doc2;
var curLayer = doc2.layers[0];
curLayer.duplicate (doc1.layers[0], ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);
doc2.close (SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
activeDocument = doc1
curLayer = doc1.layers[0];


curLayer.resize(50,50);

var xPrime = 5;
var yPrime =5;


curLayer.translate(xPrime - parseInt(curLayer.bounds[0]),yPrime - parseInt(curLayer.bounds[1]));

Try this:

/OPEN .PSD FILE
var file1 = Folder('C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/PhotoshopImg/'+ psdFile +'.psd');
var doc1 = open(file1);

//OPEN TEST IMAGE
var file2 = Folder('C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/PhotoshopImg/img_test.png');
var doc2 = open(file2);

activeDocument = doc2;
var curLayer = doc2.layers[0];
activeLayer = curLayer;
curLayer.duplicate (doc1.layers[0], ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);

activeDocument = doc1

I'm having no problem running the script you posted. Can you post a screen shot of of PS after the script runs?

Here is my code

I would copy the image into the new image, then size it, and finally use translate to move it to the xy position.

Is the image you want to import a single layer?

I have one image and I want to import new one into this first image then size it and then move it with xy position

- LayerOne = First Image

- LayerTwo = Second Image (Resize + xy position)

Actually my script in jsx open the first image, but i don't know the rest.

This solution is great to move it, but I need first to import the image..

This may not be the best way, however, I would align to the canvas (i.e. upper left), then translate using the required pixel position.

import image in special x,y import one image with special y,x

Before we can address resize can you explain special x,y and special y,x ? And Import how?

x,y is the coordinates.

Import the image with JSX Script (Javascript Code Script)

Yes what is special about your x,y points. You can align an image layer to any pixel. Select the pixel and align the layer(s) to the selection. Resize the layer and align the image layer to the x,y point.
