Installing a Photoshop Script
- Close Photoshop if it is open.
- Copy the script and its ‘Scripts Only’ folder to the Scripts folder in your Photoshop installation directory.
- On Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS[x]\Preset\Scripts.
- On a MAC : Applications > Photoshop CS[x] -> Presets -> Scripts.
- Open Photoshop.
- The script will now appear on the File > Scripts menu and can be run from here at any time.
Running a Photoshop Script without Installing
- Open Photoshop.
- Select File -> Scripts -> Browse and navigate to the "script_name.jxs" file.
Running a script from a shortcut
Many applications have shortcuts or hot keys to allow you to access frequently used functionality faster. If you install your script to the File -> Scripts menu you can allocate a keyboard shortcut to run the script using the instructions below.
- Launch the keyboard shortcuts dialog by clicking Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
- Under "Application Menu Command" open the entry for "File".
- Scroll down, past "Scripts" until you see the name of your script.
- Click the blank area for the script's shortcut.
- Type the required shortcut. You can choose any combination of keystrokes as long as the following two points are met:
- You must include "Ctrl" or a function key.
- Do not use "Alt". This will launch the script in ‘Debug’ mode, rather than run it properly.
- When finished, click OK.
If there is a conflict between your chosen combination and an existing shortcut, a message will appear at the bottom of the dialog.
