: How can I get the boundaries (width & height) of the current clipboard image? To reproduce what I'm looking to do with scripting (JSX) in Photoshop: Select part of image with transperant background

I use AppleScript to script Photoshop, not JavaScript, but hopefully this solution will still work for you.

To get the size of the image that is on the clipboard, create a new Photoshop document — it will be created at the size of what is on the clipboard — and then get the width and height of the new document, and then close the new document without saving.

Honestly this answer depends on your version of Photoshop, but I'm going to assume you're working with the most recent version.

Luckily the newest version (CC 2015) has some built-in clipboard interactions, which you can read up on here.

If this isn't what you need, then I suggest to keep looking through that document. If nothing turns up it may not be very exposed for you to find at which point you may have more luck getting the height and width another way and then trying to insert it yourself into the new document dialog.

If you have a different version of Photoshop, check the documentation here (CS2-CC 2015.)
