Version 2.3.0

Generative fill works again – verified on Photoshop 27.11.0 and 28.0.1.

Photoshop 27.11 changed the parameters of the undocumented command the script uses, which is why it stopped working. The new parameters were read from a recorded Photoshop action and are now built in:

• added workflowType, serviceVersion, an empty gemini block and the workflow/service map
• added gi_MODE and gi_SEED, dropped gi_ADVANCED
• documentID/layerID are now DocI/LyrI

Which version do I need?

Your Photoshop	Use
27.11 or newer	this version
27.10 or older	version 2.2.1 – the parameters are not interchangeable

Scale, Mirror and content-aware fill are unaffected and work with every Photoshop version, so for those this version is always the right one.

If a future Photoshop update changes this again, the frame is skipped with a clear message instead of a cryptic error.

Installation: download AddBleed.jsx below and replace the old file in your InDesign Scripts folder.

Version 2.2.3

• Clearer wording when generative fill fails: Photoshop currently rejects the request on 27.11.0 and on 28.0.1 alike (it worked on 27.10), so the message no longer blames the Photoshop version.
• Scale, Mirror and content-aware Fill are unaffected.

Installation: download AddBleed.jsx below and replace the old file in your InDesign Scripts folder.

Version 2.2.2

Heads-up: Adobe broke generative fill. Photoshop 28.0.1 changed the undocumented command the script used, so Photoshop now rejects it.

• Generative fill no longer shows a cryptic Photoshop error. The frame is skipped with a clear message pointing to content-aware fill.
• Scale, Mirror and content-aware Fill are unaffected and work as before.

If you are still on Photoshop 27.x, generative fill keeps working there.

Installation: download AddBleed.jsx below and replace the old file in your InDesign Scripts folder. Details in the README.

Version 2.2.1

• Dialog: more space between the panel titles ("Method", "Document bleed") and their options.

Version 2.2.0

• English by default – the script no longer follows the InDesign UI language.
• Language selection (English / Deutsch) at the bottom of the dialog. The texts switch immediately and your choice is remembered for the next run.

Installation: download AddBleed.jsx below and replace the old file in your InDesign Scripts folder. Details in the README.

Version 2.1.1

Bug fix release.

• Mirror: the mirrored strips got a 1 pt black stroke when the original frame had no stroke colour. They now never get a stroke.

Installation: download AddBleed.jsx below and replace the old file in your InDesign Scripts folder. Details in the README.

Version 2.1.0

InDesign script that adds missing bleed to selected image frames on the edges that touch the page edge – by scaling, mirroring or filling in Photoshop (content-aware or generative, experimental).

What's new in 2.1.0

• Script renamed to AddBleed.jsx – if you installed Beschnitt_ergaenzen.jsx before, delete it from your Scripts folder.
• Dialogs in English (German when InDesign runs in German).
• Filled images are saved as Name_bleed.psd.

Installation: download AddBleed.jsx below and put it into InDesign's Scripts folder (Window > Utilities > Scripts > right-click "User" > Reveal in Finder / Explorer). Details in the README.

Tested: macOS, InDesign 2026 (21.5) and Photoshop 2026 (27.10). Feedback on Windows, InDesign 2025 or English installations is welcome via Issues.

Version 2.0.0

InDesign script that adds missing bleed to selected image frames on the edges that touch the page edge.

Methods

• Scale – extend the frame into the bleed, enlarge the image only as much as needed
• Mirror – mirrored strips and corners, grouped with the unchanged original
• Fill (Photoshop) – content-aware or generative (experimental, uses credits); result saved as Name_beschnitt.psd next to the original

Installation: download Beschnitt_ergaenzen.jsx and put it into InDesign's Scripts folder (Window > Utilities > Scripts > right-click "User" > Reveal in Finder). Details in the README.

Tested: macOS, InDesign 2026 (21.5) and Photoshop 2026 (27.10), German UI. Feedback on Windows, InDesign 2025 or other languages is welcome via Issues.

Note: the script's dialogs are currently in German.
