Judging by the Dictionary, AppleScript in Photoshop CS is worlds better than in previous versions! In 7.x, all you could do is run Photoshop Actions (which really wasn’t that bad, but still�); CS is totally scriptable!

Just one problem: the AppleScript command tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS" gives the following alert:

Syntax Error
Application isn’t running.



So… any ideas?

Hey, grahamb. I guess I should have posted again to let everyone know: the first time I restarted after installation, Photoshop magically became scriptable.

Sorry!
