There are a few different ways that you can write a script in Photoshop. You can use the built-in ActionScript editor, or you can use a third-party editor like Adobe Dreamweaver. You can also write your scripts directly in the Photoshop interface using the ‘Scripts’ panel.

If you want to use the built-in ActionScript editor, go to ‘Window > Actions’. This will open up the Actions panel.

In the Actions panel, click on the ‘Create new action’ button. A dialog box will appear. In the dialog box, give your action a name and then click ‘Record’.

Now, every time you perform an action in Photoshop, it will be recorded in your script. When you’re finished recording your actions, click ‘Stop playing/recording’ in the Actions panel. Your script will now be saved as an ‘.Actionscript’ file.

If you want to use a third-party editor like Adobe Dreamweaver, you’ll need to export your script as an ‘.HTML’ file. To do this, go to ‘File > Export > Export as HTML’.

A dialog box will appear. In the dialog box, choose where you want to save your file and then click ‘Export’.

You can also write your scripts directly in the Photoshop interface using the ‘Scripts’ panel. To do this, go to ‘Window > Scripts’. This will open up the Scripts panel.

In the Scripts panel, click on the ‘New Script’ button. In the dialog box, give your script a name and then click ‘OK’.

Your script will now be open in a text editor. You can write your code directly in this text editor.

When you’re finished writing your code, go to ‘File > Save’. Your script will now be saved as a ‘.jsx’ file.
