100 Scripts

Covering file operations, layers, text, export, colour adjustment, selection, document setup, smart objects, retouching and utility operations.

Cross-Platform

All scripts work on both Mac and Windows without modification. Platform-agnostic file paths and no OS-specific APIs.

Production Ready

ScriptUI dialogs for configuration, error handling for edge cases, and unit-safe operations that preserve your workspace preferences.

Installation

Technical Notes

Scripts use ExtendScript (.jsx), Adobe's JavaScript implementation for Creative Suite/Cloud applications.
All scripts are wrapped in IIFEs (function() { ... })() to avoid polluting the global scope.
Ruler units and dialog modes are saved and restored to preserve workspace preferences.
Action Manager descriptors are used for operations not exposed in Photoshop's DOM API (layer masks, Smart Object editing, layer effects).
File I/O operations use File and Folder objects from ExtendScript's cross-platform API.
