Photoshop does have a Javascript scripting system and IDE (ExtendScript Toolkit) that exposes many of its features.

Unfortunately its pretty slow and clunky, and it doesn't let you draw programmatically or anything like that.

I used it to create a texture/sprite atlas maker for game development[1], and to do batch image composition for animation frames in my last game project[2].

I tried to use it to create animated image processing effects, but I ended up having to use Processing, after reimplementing a bunch of Photoshop features in Java.
