Action help

[Hudson]

Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm having difficulty with a simple action I'd like help with if it can be done. I have an action that just creates a new blank layer, resets swatches to black and white and then grabs a brush that I created and places it as a watermark in the corner of an image. My problem is, when the action ends, the Brush Tool is still selected and I would like the Move Tool to be selected. I have CC2020. All I need to know is how to have the move tool selected instead of the brush tool when the action ends. Please help if possible. Cheers.

Use Free Transform (Strg+T) and activate it's Dialog in the action panel instead of the Move Tool.

If you really need the move tool selected, you can use this tiny script (save as *.jsx - put it in your scripts folder of photoshop an add it to you action)...

#target Photoshop
var c = stringIDToTypeID;
(r = new ActionReference()).putClass(c('moveTool'));
(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(c('target'), r);
executeAction(c('select'), d, DialogModes.NO)

Free transform works a treat, many thanks.
