Creating resolution-independent scripts
You can create a resolution-independent script that allows you to record a script that automatically adjusts
to the resolution of the image in which you’re playing the script. When you’re creating the script, you can
get smoother, more responsive performance by working at low resolution. Then, when you play back the
script at a higher resolution, you get the benefit of a higher quality image.
The record-to-playback scaling ratio is limited. A factor of 4 is probably too much. For best results, you may
need to experiment.
To record a resolution-independent script
1 Before you start recording, open a new document at the resolution in which you want to work.
2
Choose Window Scripts.
3
Before painting or drawing, choose Select All, or press Command + A (Mac OS) or Ctrl + A
(Windows).
This action creates a reference rectangle that is part of the recording. The rectangle must be recorded to
play a session back into a higher resolution file later.
4
In the Scripts panel, click the Record button .
5 Deselect the reference rectangle by doing one of the following:
•
Choose Select None.
• Draw inside the selected area.
• Press Command + D (Mac OS) or Ctrl + D (Windows).
6 Proceed with recording the script.
To play a script at a different resolution
1 Create a new document with the resolution at which you want to play the script.
If you want the resulting image to be a higher resolution than the original, create a document with
proportionally larger dimensions. For example, if the original document is 500 X 500 pixels, make the
new document 1000 X 1000 pixels to double the size.
If the destination document has a different aspect ratio from the original, the image created by the
script will be proportionally distorted.
2 In the Scripts panel, click the resolution-independent script you recorded in the Scripts library viewer.
3
Before playing the script, choose Select All, or press Command + A (Mac OS) or Ctrl + A (Windows)
in the new document.
The rectangle recorded at the outset of the original script is referenced to the selected rectangle in this
document.
