Hi @mraj32, what is the incorrect number you're seeing on output?

I believe you have to rasterize all layers and layer effects to get the most accurate results.

@bronzehedwick This script is awesome !

But I confirm the issue. The problem is that layerRef.bounds[0].value; only returns position of first pixel, it exclude a part of the layer (that you can see if you hit the Transform button.

To reproduce you can create a smart object, and put a small rectangle inside it.

You will see that exported data match the layer box, but not the layer transform box (which have the initial placement of our image).

It would be nice if you can take a look, it seems that a solution is not as straightforward 😄

@X-Raym Thanks! And thanks for bumping the issue: I haven't had much time to work on this, but hopefully I'll be able to address this in the next few days.

@bronzehedwick No problem ! Thanks for your quick answer !
The issue was also in the Photoshop API iteself, but r-bin made a script that overcome that:

There is a script function which solves this, maybe you will need to do that in a very different way, but maybe it can help a bit.

"Have you solved the problem? Recently, I was working on a script to get the position information of the currently selected layer, and I encountered the same issue. It turns out that for smart objects, it retrieves the coordinates after rasterization."

Is there anything else you need help with regarding this issue or any other topic?
