Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Creating Background Borders With Photoshop Scripting

This is what I used to add a white boarder with a black pen line to my instagram photos.

#+FILENAME: AWS-Instagram-Boarder.jsx #+begin_src js :results output :wrap example :tangle "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2022/Presets/Scripts/AWS Instagram Border.jsx"

var doc = app.activeDocument;

function main(black_border, white_border) { setBg(0,0,0); addBorder(black_border); setBg(255,255,255); addBorder(white_border); }

function setBg(r,g,b) { var new_color = new SolidColor(); new_color.rgb.red = r; new_color.rgb.green = g; new_color.rgb.blue = b; backgroundColor = new_color; }

function addBorder(border_size) { doc.resizeCanvas(UnitValue(doc.width + (border_size * 2) , 'px') , UnitValue(doc.height + (border_size * 2) , 'px') ); }

main(2, 38);
