Thanks for the mention, @c.pfaffenbichler  The UXP code (write it in a `.psjs` file and call it via File > Scripts > Browse...) would be: const { app, constants } = require("photoshop"); const processLayer = (layer) => { if (layer.kind === constants.LayerKind.GROUP && layer.layers) { for (let l of layer.layers) { processLayer(l); } } else if (layer.kind === constants.LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT) { layer.selected = true; } }; const startLayer = app.activeDocument?.activeLayers[0]; if (startLayer) { startLayer.selected = false; processLayer(startLayer); } Hope this helps!     ...

Hi @c.pfaffenbichler, I'd do it like this:     const { app, core } = require("photoshop"); await core.executeAsModal( async () => { app.activeDocument.duplicate(app.activeDocument.name, true); }, { commandName: "Duplicate with the same name" });     Which seems exactly what @Ciccillotto is using 👌🏻 The boolean is for merged layers, like in ExtendScript, BTW.     ...

Thanks Stephen, let me give @Joseph25509234xr72 some extra-context. The scripting code in the replies above is ExtendScript (an Adobe-proprietary flavour of JS based on a very old language specification). Since late 2020, Photoshop has been transitioning to UXP, which uses modern JavaScript. ExtendScript is going to be faded out (ETA not available), in favour of UXP. Please note: the two are not compatible with each other. I have a series of videos available on YouTube for free about UXP, if you want to get started. For a more curated learning path, in late 2023 I've published a 326-page book on the subject; Marc Autret (a fine InDesign developer) has written a detailed, independent review which you can read here if you're interested. Adobe is generally good with Reference documentation, not so much with narrative content; I'm trying to fill the gap.    ... View more

Put the following in a file with a `.psjs` extension.   const { app, constants } = require("photoshop"); const doc = app.activeDocument; for (const lay of doc.layers) { if (lay.kind === constants.LayerKind.TEXT) { lay.textItem.contents = lay.textItem.contents.replace(/x/g, "y"); } }   It won't work if you have nested text layers; otherwise, it should be OK. It runs a RegExp to replace instances of "x" with "y" .     ... View more

Save the following in a `.psjs` file:     const photoshop = require("photoshop"); const app = photoshop.app; const core = photoshop.core; const executeAsModal = core.executeAsModal; const imaging = photoshop.imaging; const storage = require("uxp").storage; const lfs = storage.localFileSystem; const constants = photoshop.constants; const convertStringToArray = (str) => { return str.split("\n").map((line) => { const [x, y] = line.split(";"); return { x: parseInt(x, 10), y: parseInt(y, 10) }; }); }; const width = 20; const height = 20; const { types, formats, modes, errors } = require("uxp").storage; let f = await lfs.getFileForOpening(); const txtContent = await f.read({ format: formats.utf8 }); const points = convertStringToArray(txtContent); const doc = await app.documents.add({ width, height, mode: constants.NewDocumentMode.GRAYSCALE, }); let pixelsArray = new Uint8Array(width * height).fill(255); points.forEach(({ x, y }) => { pixelsArray[y * width + x] = 0; }); const imageData = await imaging.createImageDataFromBuffer(pixelsArray, { width, height, components: 1, colorSpace: "Grayscale", }); await imaging.putPixels({ layerID: app.activeDocument.activeLayers[0].id, imageData, commandName: "LED stuff", });     Then File > Scripts > Browse... and get it. It will pop up a file selection dialog; I've pointed it to a `pixels.csv` file with the following content:     0;0 1;1 2;2 3;3 4;4 5;5 6;6 7;7 8;8 9;9 10;10 11;11 12;12 13;13 14;14 15;15 16;16 17;17 18;18 19;19     It creates a new document, 20x20px (the doc size is hardwired for simplicity) and fill it with black pixels at the x,y coords in the csv, like so:   It's a toy example, but you can tweak it to fit your purposes—if I've properly understood what you're after. Please note that in PS the cartesian plane points downwards, y values must be adjusted if one expects it to be as we're taught in school 🙂  Cheers,   Davide ... View more
