Thanks very much...
This isn't exactly what you asked for but it may be close enough for jazz:
tell application "Finder" to set visible of process "Photoshop" to false
-- do your Photoshop stuff
tell application "Finder" to set visible of process "Photoshop" to true
The only question is: Do your Photoshop commands restore it to visibility?
