Here is the script I mention in the video: Pop Art

Assignment:

Did you start looking at some of my scripts and see how those commands are used? One interesting detail is that ReturnImageInfo is absolutely essential in any script that starts with the user's image to manipulate it. I am not talking about scripts that will change the color or apply artistic effects, but scripts that will do something with the image or the element (if it is a png for example).

One other interesting fact is that actions for Photoshop do not have the ability to use that information, which makes them much less versatile than scripts in PSP.
