Replace to layer in Photoshop file

[ernpchan]

Via scripting I can replace an image to a separate file. Is it possible to replace to a layer in a Photoshop file? We can import layered Photoshop files. I'm not seeing a way to manually swap out Photoshop layers.

Check out my old Syn_UpdatePSD script to update a psd import (I haven't used it in ages, so no idea if it works with AS11). http://www.kelleytown.com/forum/animato ... PIC_ID=760

You have to parse the psd to determine the layer IDs and hierarchy, then parse the AS document to match these and change the source image using the ID in the psd (line 147):

moho:LayerAsImage(moho.layer):SetSourceImage(path.."*"..id.."*")

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Is there a way to get access to this script without having to register with another forum?

Nope, but registration's free and many more scripts are only found there.

Ok, I'll join that forum too.

Just curious but what's the difference between that one and this one?

Smaller, more active scripters.
