To whosoever reads this please help!!!
The script that I have is supposed to select all the files in the folder you choose from the script open them in APS and apply the filter from Filter>Distort>Diffuse Glow with settings for graininess, glow amount and clean amount. The script will then save these files in a folder with the added filter and close the original file untouched.
It starts, creates the temp file, opens the first picture file of the group, and then gives me the error "Adobe Photoshop CS got an error: File/Folder expecter.
Could you please take a look at this text and give me any wisdom you have Oh great ones.
Thank you!!!
