I've noticed that layerbounds get reported back differently if they have layer effects on them. Is this just CS2 (which got fixed in later versions)?
To explain:
Do the following in PS. New image, new layer, select a rectangle, fill it with colour. Add an effect - say outer glow set to normal about 5 pixels, colour is irrelevant. Hide the background. Select all. Copy merged and paste in the image.
So we have two layers - one with a rectangle with an outer glow effects layer, and another identical layer (only the effects layer has effectliy been rasterised)
The following script should report back that they are the same width and height.
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var srcDoc = app.activeDocument;
var numOfLayers = srcDoc.layers.length;
for (var i = numOfLayers -2; i >= 0 ; i--) //ignore background
{
temp = srcDoc.layers[i].bounds
var x = temp[0].value
var y = temp[1].value
var x1 = temp[2].value
var y1 = temp[3].value
var W = (x1 - x)
var H = (y1 - y)
alert ("Layer: " + srcDoc.layers[i].name + " W,H: " + W + ", " + H + "\n");
}
Only it doesn't. Why?
