Photoshop CS 2 VBScript problem

Question

Hi everyone,
I need to mofify color balance of an ArtLayer using its 'AdjustColorBalance' method. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with the following VBA code ? (It doesn't work yet, at least for now)
'Declare 3 arrays of numbers and a flag
Dim lngShadows(1 To 3) as Long
Dim lngMidtones(1 To 3) as long
DIM lngHighlights(1 To 3) as Long
Dim fPreserveLuninosity as Boolean
'Initialize the arrays
lngShadows(1) = -10
lngShadows(2) = 0
lngShadows(3) = 10
'Repeat for other 2 arrays
'Make sure document is in RGB mode
appRef.ActiveDocument.ChangeMode 2 'RGB/8 (psConvertToRGB)
fPreserveLuminosity = False
'Make the changes
appRef.ActiveDocument.ActiveLayer.AdjustColorBalance (intShadows, intMidtones, intHighlights, fPreserveLuminosity)
'NOTHING HAPPENS...
Any pointers or other suggestions about what might be wrong with this code will be greatfully received :)
Many thanks again,
Lars

Hi Mitch,
I remember the issue, I ran into it as well.
While the patch from ExtremeZ-IP did temporarily fix my issues, the issue returned. I used the correct PhotoShop plugin and still the problem persisted.
Low and behold, the issue was when using the command-S save feature. When the files your working on have already been saved with the older AFP spec and you try to save them with the newer AFP spec, they'll error out in OSX 10.4.6. This was related to PhotoShop CS2 files.
The solution is to either save the files to your desktop or change the name of the file. Once this was done the problem doesn't return on the file, even if you do a command-S.
I believe it's the process of cleaning up the commenting changes for the AFP spec on 10.4.6.
You will want to check your destination drive if you are getting a specific "Write Denied" error and see if some restrictive permission hasn't propegated it's self where it shouldn't have.
