Open File in Photoshop CC with AppleScript

[ishan_anders]

Hi,

I'm unable to open an file vial AS in PS CC.

Also the example in the Refeference:

"tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC"

set myFilePath to alias "...."

open myFilePath as Camera RAW with options ¬

{class:Camera RAW open options, bits per channel:eight, ¬

color noise reduction:20, temperature:4200, white balance:cloudy

end tell"

doesn't work.

Any tipps what to do. Is AS in PS CC broken?

Thank'S

Ishan

Could you work with JavaScript instead?

AppleScript is not particularly popular for Photoshop automation.

In any case the code you posted does not seem to contain a file path.

Yes, I know. I changed the filepath with the 3 points.

It's a code snippet form the Adobe AS reference.

I'm a newbee without any experience in JavaScript. Do you have an example?

If you want to open RAW files with JavaScript I would recommend you record the process with ScriptingListener.plugin and use the resulting code.

It is possible with the Document Object Model, too, though.

To see the properties you can refer to ESTK Help > Object Model Viewer or Photoshop-CS6-JavaScript-Ref.pdf.

But if Muppet Mark’s advice applies maybe you can stick with AppleScript for this.

Since CS5 Photoshop has been fussy over Finder's File Alias… Try change your myFilePath variable to a string…

Interesting. Thank's for your hint.

The code is 1:1 from the Adobe AS reference! I used a string definition without success. But I give it a next try. I'm a newbee.
