someone needs to make a video on how to get extend script 😂. i found it online but don't see a download button or anything.

[janosgyerman]

can i export / save as eps files from the layers? I have multiple layers (pictures) in folder in photoshop and I have to convert all individually as eps. KEEPING the same name as the layer is.

[Moment_Captured]

Thanks for your help. How do you merge layers and save the result?

[kybardby]

I thought this was exactly what I was looking for but ExtendScript is obsolete, won’t run on 64bit systems…

[jmdesigns]

Hello! Do you now the scripting code to add a keyframe in the video timeline in photoshop?

[BrainTrance]

Nice tutorial. One question though: how can I assign a "var example_layer" with an already existing layer in Photoshop by name? for example I have already created a layer in photoshop named "test", and I want to create a reference for it, in ExtendScript, something like "var test_layer = document.layer.name("test")

[KowProdMedia]

Curious if you could give the photo a certain name and have your line of text grab the file name (minus extension).
Then, instead of printing, have it save as a particular filetype.

at 5.44 you are getting the suggestions for the options inside LayerKind method. I am not getting any suggestions. Is there any setting that needs to be turned on ?

[nuqhmannaiemi]
