Having read the intro bump from pklaschka, I’d like to write a short introduction about me for you.
I’m a retoucher for 10 years now.
Somewhere down the line I found out about xbytor’s work, after which I found out about Davide Baranca, and after a lot of lurking I started automating my own work some 2 years ago.
My favourites: a positioning script based on what is interesting in the picture, an implementation of the canny edge detector 
, and something to get an e-mail when my photoshop batch is done so I can go make a coffee and my phone will let me know when to come back. 
I’m not here for XD, but to figure out how to build photoshop panels, apparently that’s completely different than Extendscript? ES6/json is still rather new to me, but I followed a bootcamp and that went reasonably well. 
I’m very much still finding my way around uxp and I’m hoping for some guidance and support.
I’ll join in where ever possible, but I’ll have a lot to learn before I can offer much help on uxp.
At least I can already occasionally be helpful on the Photoshop scripting forum.
See you around!
