I have seen some posts about writing a script to export Photoshop analysis counts as a layer but scripting surpasses my level of expertise in Photoshop. Is there an easier way to save/export counts in Photoshop short of taking a screen shot?
I actually attempted to save and run the following script using File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager but when I added the script and clicked done it didn't do anything.
// create text layers with numbers for count tool points;
// 2019, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
