Adobe Photoshop CS3 Scripting Guide Photoshop CS3 Scripting Photoshop CS3 39 VBS docRef.ArtLayers("L1").ApplyStyle "Puzzle (Image)" Look up ApplyStyle as a method of the ArtLayer object in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Visual Basic Scripting Reference, or in the Visual Basic Object Browser. JS docRef.artLayers["L1"].applyStyle("Puzzle (Image)") Look up applyStyle() as a method of the ArtLayer object in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 JavaScript Scripting Reference, or in the ExtendScript Object Model Viewer. Using the Text Item Object You can change an existing ArtLayer object to a text layer, that is, a Text Item object, if the layer is empty. Conversely you can change a Text Item object to an ArtLayer object. This "reverse" procedure rasterizes the text in the layer object. The Text Item object is a property of the ArtLayer object. However, to create a new text layer, you must create a new ArtLayer object and then set the art layer's kind/Kind/kind property to text layer (2 (psTextLayer)/ LayerKind.TEXT. ). To set or manipulate text in a text layer, you use the text-object (TextItem/TextItem) object, which is contained in the text object/TextItem/textItem property of the ArtLayer object. Creating a Text Item Object The following examples create an ArtLayer object and then use the kind property to convert it to a text layer. AS make new art layer in current document with properties { kind: text layer } VBS set newLayerRef = docRef.ArtLayers.Add() newLayerRef.Kind = 2 '2 indicates psTextLayer JS var newLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add() newLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT See 'Photoshop CS3 Object Model' on page 9 for information on the relationship between ArtLayer objects and TextItem objects. Also, look up the following: ● The Kind/kind and TextItem/textItem properties of the ArtLayer object in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Visual Basic Scripting Reference, Adobe Photoshop CS3 JavaScript Scripting Reference, or in the Visual Basic Object Browser and the ExtendScript Object Model Viewer. ● The kind and text object properties of the class art layer in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 AppleScript Scripting Reference or in the Photoshop CS3 AppleScript Dictionary.
