grab image from photoshop using sdk

Apr 15, 2012 10:55 AM

the following sampe in the sdk shows how the client requests

a thumbnail from photoshop.

 

 

var idNS = stringIDToTypeID("sendDocumentThumbnailToNetworkClient")

var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();

desc1.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID("width"  ), 640;

desc1.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID("height" ), 400);

desc1.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID("format" ), 1);

executeAction( idNS, desc1, DialogModes.NO );

 

The command above sends an image to the client, which has no metadata like exif.

 

 

BUT how can the client request a full  IMAGE (Picture with metadata and not downsized) not a thumbnail from photoshop

sending it to the client ??? Is there any message like above ?

 

where are the messages listed like "sendDocumentThumbnailToNetworkClient"

and other, I can't find them anywhere ??

 

best regards

Chris

    Ask Photoshop what the size of the image is and request it in the width and height.

    Make a second request for the xmp data via JavaScript. activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData

    The list of commands can be found on this page documentation/pages/index.html

    Consult the JavaScript documentation for all the things you can do with that API. The documents are part of you Photoshop install in the Scripting folder.

    You can't get the full image file, or metadata that way.

    You can only get a preview/thumbnail - although you can request a thumbnail at a fairly large size.

     

    And the network messages are documented in the SDK along side the network example code.
