I do a lot of repetitive work in photoshop such as open a file, do first align, transform, save for web etc to name a few.

I have tried using photoshop batch automation however it corrupts the files.

I want to write a .Net application so that I give it some parameters as where to save the file and directory to pick the file and it does the job for me.

How can i access this api so that my application can open the photoshop cs2, then open it and do the stuff?

How to go about doing this? Please advice.

Best regards

You can automate Photoshop using JavaScript. Look for a folder named Scripting Guide under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2

You can also get help in the adobe.photoshop.scripting forum.
