I don't use Photoshop myself, but here's what I get from reading/searching the forum:

It's a Photoshop script, valid for Photoshop CS and above (not for prior versions of Photoshop)

You can get the script at the bottom of this page:
http://www.e-frontier.com/article/artic ... 8?sbss=798
or if you have the Pro version of Anime Studio you should find it here:
C:\Program Files\e frontier\Anime Studio Pro\Extra Files
(for Windows anyway. If you're on a Mac, whatever the equivalent is).

It should be called "Export Layers to Anime Studio.jsx"

Make sure Photoshop is closed.
Then you need to copy it to Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder.
On Windows, that's at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Scripts

Start Photoshop. It will either be under the File menu, something like "Export to Anime Studio", or possibly in the Scripts panel.
As I understand it, running it should give you the chance to name an .anme file to save the Photoshop file into.

Assuming the above process works, thanks go to Selgin and Lost Marble for their explanations.

Good luck!

hmm, too bad i have photoshop7 (no wonder i never saw the scripts folder in the preset folder) . but in the anime studio pro Help, they said form P.S7 this means i have to get CS2. that script is really somthing worth using.

Well, in that case it's probably worth trying in Photoshop 7 with the script that comes with Anime Studio Pro. I was just quoting from the web page that says the downloadable script is for Photoshop CS and above - maybe it's an updated version.

Copy the script into your Photoshop's Scripts folder (from Anime Studio Pro's Extra Files folder), then start up Photoshop and give it a try.
