5. To use a VBScript to apply the Emboss filter to a document, include the emboss function in the script
and call the function with the desired parameters. For example, the following example applies the
Emboss filter with angle 75, height 2, and amount 89. Before the script calls the function, it needs to
have an open document. (See
document within the script.) Since the script is opening a document, it needs access to the Photoshop
DOM when it calls the
Photoshop
DIM objApp
SET objApp = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
'Open the document in the script
filename = "C:\MyFile"
DIM docRef
SET docRef = objApp.Open(filename)
'Call emboss with desired parameters
Call Emboss( 75, 2, 89 )
Function Emboss( angle, height, amount )
REM Use dialog mode 3 for show no dialogs
DIM dialogMode
dialogMode = 3
DIM id9
id9 = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Embs" )
DIM desc4
SET desc4 = CreateObject( "Photoshop.ActionDescriptor" )
DIM id10
id10 = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Angl" )
Call desc4.PutInteger( id10, angle )
DIM id11
id11 = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Hght" )
Call desc4.PutInteger( id11, height )
DIM id12
id12 = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Amnt" )
Call desc4.PutInteger( id12, amount )
Call objApp.ExecuteAction( id9, desc4, dialogMode )
End Function
