I'm glad you find it curious too! There's no explicit unit set up in the script - as I use pixels  so assume that's been set and not changed. Secondly, the images size is an odd 200 dpi,  256 x 224 pixels (w & h) Thirrdly resizing the image to 72 dpi,  256 x 224 pixels (w & h) - the script works fine. ... View more

I do not understand why is not so straight fordward, and why is so difficult By @AlexPrint   The previous code offerings were simple AM recordings of standard relative keyboard shortcuts that would be used in an action. This is why they are complex.   Update: There is another, simpler way to move the active layer to the back/bottom, using standard DOM code rather than AM code:   // Move the active layer to the bottom layer in the stack activeDocument.activeLayer.move(activeDocument.layers[activeDocument.layers.length - 1], ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER);   Or to the front/top:   // Move the active layer to the top layer in the stack activeDocument.activeLayer.move(activeDocument.layers[0], ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);     ...
