Hi All,

I'm a professional software developer, but new to Photoshop and
ExtendScript.

In a nutshell:

* I have a PSD file that contains several Layers (in ExtendScript they
each is called an ArtLayer).
* Each ArtLayer contains one image.
* I would like to write an ExtendScript that opens the PSD file,
accesses each ArtLayer, find the bounds of the image contained in the
layer, and then replace the image with a new one of equal size/
dimensions.
* So far, I am abke to open the PSD and get all the ArtLayers, but I
don't know how to access the image data contained in the ArtLayer or
how to "set" a new image.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

How about BATCH using File-Scripts-Output Layers to Files

Then use File-Automate-Fit Image to adjust each one to the same size (again,
in Batch).

Then load them as stacks, layers, save.

It will be faster than cutting code.

I can't help you, but thanks for the ArtLayer info.
Good luck.
