3.2 Viewing Photoshop objects, commands and methods

This section shows how to view Photoshop’s objects, commands and properties in AppleScript
and Visual Basic editors. JavaScript does not include an object browser.

3.2.1 Viewing Photoshop’s AppleScript dictionary

1. Start Photoshop, then your “Script Editor.”

2. In Script Editor, choose “File > Open Dictionary”. Script Editor displays an “Open File”

dialog.

3. Find and select the Photoshop application and click the “OK” button. Script Editor displays

a list of Photoshop’s objects and commands and the properties and elements associated
with each object, as well as the parameters for each command.
