You are with Arthur. He wouldn't be happy with a script that made his
morning coffee unless the milk and sugar were first defined as script
objects...
I haven't tried it for a long while -- that was code I put together in a
mild panic with Photoshop 5, when I couldn't get the curves command to work.
I suppose I should go back and check with v6 -- I don't think I've ever run
it in v6 -- but settings files that keep appearing from nowhere are a good
way to attract attention ;-)

OK, I can take a hint. Where is that script... Ah, here's the offending
line, still there but commented out:
--adjust changing curves to {adjustment:{curves adjustment {channel:black
channel, curve:{{0, 0}, {128, 195}, {255, 250}}}}}
Well what do you know, it works fine now. Alas, another line doesn't. Here's
a sample that shows the problem:
tell application "Adobe. Photoshop. 6.0.1"
save current document in (file "Macintosh HD:A pic") as JPEG {image
quality:5, baseline optimized:true, saving paths:false} without appending
file extension and making copy
save current document in (file "Macintosh HD:A folder:A pic") as JPEG
{image quality:5, baseline optimized:true, saving paths:false} without
appending file extension and making copy
end tell
The second save fails with the error:
--> Adobe. Photoshop. 6.0.1 got an error: Folder Macintosh HD:A folder:A
pic wasn't found.
Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense (yes, folder "A folder" exists).
How does that behave at your end?
