In the spirit of being helpful to others considering such solutions... Yes, we played with JavaScript and DoScript initially. Very appealing feature. But we decided to use DoAction to trigger a lot of our PhotoShop processing because our artists had already built PhotoShop actions - thus the artsy stuff gets done "inside" PhotoShop instead of adding overhead of shipping in the commands from VB. We tried to segment our processing so that things that are most efficient to do in VB (because it's close to Windows) are done there and things that are most efficient to do in PS as "actions" are done there. At least we hope we've done that. Yes, we did consider doing the whole thing in JS, but much of our retail software had already been written in VB, so we decided on a 100% VB-driven solution instead. Hope this discussion may also be of interest to others. Thank you for your help. Signing off now.
