Photoshop: make new document from preset

I’m sure this is simple, but I’ve searched the adobe pdf on scripting PS CS3 and can’t find anything.

I have made a document preset called “HDV Handwriting” with all the relevant parameters I need for a certain script.
In Photoshop, I can select “new” from the “file” menu and then select “HDV_Handwriting” in the “Preset” drop-down.

I have been using:


tell app "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
activate
make new document with properties ¬
      {width:DocWidth as pixels, height:DocHeight as pixels}
end tell

but I can’t work out how to select a preset from the “make new document” command.
can anyone help?

failing that, anyone know how I could select from the advanced tab in the new document window “Pixel Aspect Ratio” = “HDV 1080 / DVCPRO 720 (1.33)”

Many thanks
Miller.

You’re probably right, I don’t see any way to get at the new document presets either. But this should work:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
	make new document with properties {height:1080, width:1440, pixel aspect ratio:1.333}
end tell
