Photoshop scripting for artists

Why take this course?
🎨 Photoshop Scripting for Artists: Build Your Own Automation Scripts using JavaScript for Photoshop 🚀 TDM (That's Me) here, and I've got some important news before we dive into our journey with Photoshop scripting! ATTENTION: This course is currently not compatible with CC 2022 or later. The latest updates have made some core file-saving functions obsolete, which unfortunately means the saveAs function we'll be using won't work. Fear not, though! I am diligently working on updating the course content to make it fully functional again with CC 2022 and beyond. For now, you'll need Photoshop 2021 or lower to follow along. Let's get those creative gears turning with the version we can use!
