Hello,
I been trying to open a photo from indesign to photoshop.
I loop through the selected graphic boxes which I get the path to the images.
I can get the path easy enough but opening them in photoshop is another matter. I been reading about Bridgetalk, but can't seem to figureout how to get bridgetalk to load the images into photoshop.
using CS3
code:
if (app.documents.length != 0){
if (app.activeWindow.activeSpread.pageItems.length != 0){
for (i = app.selection.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
try{
if(app.selection.graphics.length != 0)
{
var myGraphic = app.selection.graphics.item(0) ;
var myLink = myGraphic.itemLink;
var myLinkName = myLink.name;
var myLinkFile = File(myLink.filePath);
var bt = new BridgeTalk.launch("photoshop");
?????????????????
} //end if
}
catch(err)
{
//
}
} //end for loop
}//end first if
else {
alert("The active spread does not contain any page items.");
}
}// end second if
else{
alert("No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.");
}
You can find an example of how to do this here.
