Add image layer in photoshop with javascript

Create Image Layer

I have just developed the code to add image as a layer in photoshop with the help of javascript It is quite easy to do so, here is the code to work with

var fileRef = new File(app.path.toString() + "/Samples/test.jpg"); // 'samples' is a folder resides in Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\samples //open (fileRef); var doc = open(fileRef); // get document name (and remove file extension) var name = tempName[0]; // convert to RGB; convert to 8-bpc; merge visible doc.changeMode(ChangeMode.RGB); doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT; doc.artLayers.add(); doc.mergeVisibleLayers(); // rename layer; duplicate to new document var layer = doc.activeLayer; layer.name = tempName[0]; layer.duplicate(newDoc, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // close imported document doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

Just go and try it. Enjoy
