In Photoshop, when I select two layers, I want their images' coordinates to swap. For example, if Image A is at coordinate 0 and Image B is at coordinate 100, how can I move Image A to coordinate 100 and Image B to coordinate 0?
I found similar code in the forum, but it doesn't work when I run it. I've selected two layers, but running the code has no effect
Thank you all for your help
