谢谢你,兄弟!顺便说一句,这个也可以在 Adob e Photoshop 2024 上运行吗?
Ah i tried and it failed...

No its an Illustrator script. Photoshop doesnt have a prop like area. But they have the measurement tool there
You'd need to convert the image to a selection, convert the selection to a path, export the path to Illustrator, then run the script in Illustrator.

It seems like PS cannot measure an irregular area...

Thx! I am turning my work into illustrator
