macOS Applescript to Javascript for Photoshop.

[grafkaal]

Hi
Can anyone tell/help me to covert this tiny bit of Applescript to Javascript so I can use it from within Photoshop CS5?

tell application "Image Capture"
activate
end tell

Many thanks in advance.

You can't really convert between the two languages. They're for different things.

Photoshop's embedded JavaScript engine can only manipulate Photoshop. It doesn't even have a 'doAppleScript' method for executing embedded AppleScript code. If you need to interact with other applications, you will need to write your outer script in AppleScript and embed your JavaScript code inside that, using the 'do JavaScript' command to execute it.
