Hi there,

Is it possible to execute a photoshop script externally?
By this I mean via another application or webpage, example using Javascript.

Thanks.

I'd love to know the answer to this too....

You mean build an .html file with javascript in it and tell a browser to open it (and thus execute it)?

simple command line should do the trick for that.

Now, if you mean have something other than Adobe CSx/Photoshop/Bridge/Illustrator/etc execute your .jsx file, I think the answer is a flat out NO.

Or, if you mean tell photoshop to execute a .jsx from the outside, again do this with a commandline.

You have to specify the complete path to the PS executable followed by the complete path to the script with everything quoted correctly for whatever your system shell is.
