JavaScript Scripting Reference

Application

The Adobe Adobe Photoshop CS3 application object, which contains all other Adobe Photoshop CS3
objects.
Note: Because you open JavaScripts through the application itself, you do not need to use the
Application
However, if you choose to include the
pre-defined global object name
following sample:
var docRef = app.documents.add(800, 600, 72, "docRef", NewDocumentMode.RGB)
The following sample uses the
var docRef = Application.documents.add(800, 600, 72, "docRef",
NewDocumentMode.RGB)
However, the most common way to add an element in your code is to omit references to the
Application
var docRef = documents.add(800, 600, 72, "docRef", NewDocumentMode.RGB)
