I would like to do a script to use in PhotoShop CS2 that would ask for a jpg photo or multiiple photos or folder and it would then do a “Smart Sharpen” on the photos.
If this is possible could someone please show me how to go about this task.
Thanks, PolishPrince

play around with this one (includes droplet-handler for many files or a folder):

on processAFile(aFile)
	tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
		activate
		open aFile
		set filterOptions to {class:filter options, amount:150, radius:0.5, threshold:0}
		
		tell front document
			filter every layer using unsharp mask with options filterOptions
			save
			close
		end tell
	end tell
end processAFile

on ProcessAFileOrFolder(theFile)
	--set theFileInfo to info for theFile
	--if folder of theFileInfo then
	if (theFile as string) ends with ":" then
		ScanAFolder(theFile)
	else
		processAFile(theFile)
	end if
end ProcessAFileOrFolder

on ScanAFolder(theFolder)
	set fileNames to list folder theFolder without invisibles
	repeat with aFile in fileNames
		set theFile to (theFolder as string) & contents of aFile
		ProcessAFileOrFolder(alias theFile)
	end repeat
end ScanAFolder

on open of filesList
	--Initialize()
	repeat with aFile in filesList
		ProcessAFileOrFolder(contents of aFile)
	end repeat
	--Finalize()
end open


on run
	--Initialize()
	set theFile to choose file
	processAFile(theFile)
	--Finalize()
end run

Thanks to TMA, the script worked just as i wanted it to. Can you direct me to other samples or literature that would show scripting of other menu items. I am new to this and have a hard time getting the right syntax to do things i want to accomplish.
Thanks again, PolishPrince

u can find a few pdf’s in your installed Photoshop Directory. like: AppleScript Reference Guide.pdf or Photoshop Scripting Guide.pdf

in your scripteditor u can open a dictonary of any program that is scriptable.
