Scripting Photoshop 3 Object references 3.4.2 Visual Basic and JavaScript Object references in Visual Basic and JavaScript are fixed and remain valid until disposed or until the host object goes away. The following example shows how to create 2 layers and then rename the first one in Visual Basic. Dim appRef As Photoshop.Application Dim docRef As Photoshop.Document Dim layer1Ref As Photoshop.ArtLayer Dim layer2Ref As Photoshop.ArtLayer ' Set ruler units and create a new document. Set appRef = New Photoshop.Application originalRulerUnits = appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits = psInches Set docRef = appRef.Documents.Add(4, 4, 72, "My New Document") ' Create 2 new layers and store their return references. Set layer1Ref = docRef.ArtLayers.Add() Set layer2Ref = docRef.ArtLayers.Add() ' Change the name of the first layer that was created. layer1Ref.Name = "This layer was first" 'restore unit values appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits = originalRulerUnits To do a similar thing in JavaScript you could do: // set ruler units and create new document originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES; documents.add(4,4,72,"My New Document"); docRef = activeDocument; layer1Ref = docRef.artLayers.add(); layer2Ref = docRef.artLayers.add(); layer1Ref.name = "This layer was first"; // restore unit setting preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits; Photoshop 7.0 Scripting Guide 43
