1 Introduction 1.1 About this manual This manual provides an introduction to scripting Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on Mac OS and Windows®. Chapter one covers the basic conventions used in this manual and provides an overview of requirements for scripting Photoshop. Chapter two covers basic scripting terms, concepts and techniques. Experienced AppleScript writers and Visual Basic programmers may want to skip to Chapter three for specifics on scripting Photoshop. 1.1.1 Conventions in this guide Code and specific language samples appear in monospaced courier font: documents.add(); IMPORTANT: Most code examples in this manual are brief snippets that will not work as fully functional scripts. Several conventions will be used when referring to AppleScript, Visual Basic and JavaScript. Please note the following shortcut notations: ● AS stands for AppleScript ● VB stands for Visual Basic ● JS stands for JavaScript The term "commands" will be used to refer both to commands in AppleScript and methods in Visual Basic and JavaScript. When referring to specific properties and commands, the manual will follow the AppleScript naming convention for that property and the Visual Basic and JavaScript names will appear in parenthesis. For example: "The display dialogs (DisplayDialogs/displayDialogs) property is part of the Application object." In this case, display dialogs refers to the AppleScript property, DisplayDialogs refers to the Visual Basic property and displayDialogs refers to the JavaScript property.
