Description
Javascript is one of the most popular programming languages in the world.
Photoshop is the most used graphic design tool in the world.
If you add Javascript to Photoshop, together they are greater than the sum of their parts.
Photoshop with Javascript was born out of the need to create custom scripts for use in Photoshop without having to build a complete plugin.
