How to write JSX script to embed other psd into current document

Hello all, Developer here, trying to create a script to help me create a large photoshop document. I have a list of file names, and the x/y positions (I can change this input in any way to make it easier for PS to read). All of the file names are an existing .psd file. If I were to do this manually, I would do:1. File > Place embedded... > Select the file from my file browser > Ok2. Set the X and Y coordinates for the newly embeded object(however, I'd need to do this over 400 times manually, thus the script) I have tried my absolute best to navigate the PDF documentation (wtf Adobe), but I can't even figure out how to embed an existing .pdf file into the current document from a file path (I've seen some examples of using a filepicker, but that doesn't work). Without even getting past that I don't know how to place it via the X/Y coords. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide to help.

Issues with Pen Tablet drawing delay

I've had this issue forever and spent countless hours searching for fixes on Google without being able to fix it.https://youtu.be/uzwv5bS1F1MCurrently using Photoshop 26.6.1, but this has been happening for a while now.  I can't remember for how long.Hardware:Wacom Intuos 16Intel i9-12900K 3.20GHz32GB RAMGeForce 4060TiSamsung 580 EVO 500GB SSDI don't believe this is a hardware issue, as I have no issues in other apps or other drawing programs.  I prefer using Photoshop because it's just what I'm used to, but I am heavily considering going to a different program due to this issue.When I press the pen down, it doesn't immediately draw with ANY brush that has Pen Pressure settings turned on.  I must leave a certain radius before it actually starts to draw, resulting in being unable to draw very small details unless I'm super zoomed in.What I've tried: - Restarting Computer - Restarting Photoshop - Reinstalling tablet drivers - Reinstalling Photoshop - Restarting tablet services / drivers

✏️ What are your favorite retouching techniques in Photoshop?

 Whether you’re going deep with frequency separation, shaping light with dodge and burn, or testing out the latest Neural Filters and AI tools, there’s a world of techniques to explore. And while we all have our personal style and process, it’s always fascinating to see how others get to their final result.   My own process depends on the project, but I often start with healing and cleanup using the Spot Healing Brush and Clone Stamp, then move into frequency separation for skin work. I use dodge & burn on a 50% gray layer for more dimensional lighting, then finish with some selective sharpening on the eyes and hair. I’ve also started experimenting with Generative Fill for small background fixes!   What about you?What’s your go-to retouching workflow in Photoshop? Do you stick to traditional techniques, or use AI tools like Generative Fill and Neural Filters? How do you approach skin smoothing vs. preserving texture? Any underrated tools or plugins you’d recommend for port

Learn how to give full disk access to Photoshop on macOS: 🔎 Quick Tip

How to provide full disk access on macOS Did you know Apple introduced a new privacy structure (macOS 10.14 - Mojave) to help ensure all apps obtain user consent before accessing documents, downloads, desktop, iCloud Drive, and network volumes. This has been reinforced in newer versions of macOS. This change prevents unauthorized access to user files and folders.When Full Disk access & Accessibility permissions are needed, users may be asked to or be required to change the setting in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy for Photoshop manually.   While for the File & Folders access, the user is prompted to allow or deny when needed. Why provide full disk access to Photoshop?Insufficient or broken permissions may restrict Photoshop from functioning correctly and breaking your workflows.
