Unlike object references in JavaScript or VBScript, AppleScript object reference names do not 
remain constant. Refer to an AppleScript language guide or text book for information on 
referencing a file using either 

as alias

 or 

to a reference to file

. 

Layers("Layer 3").Select

layers["Layer 3"].select() //using the collection name and square brackets for the 
collection

Existing layers can be moved into layer sets. The following examples show how to create a 

Layer Set

 

object, duplicate an existing 

ArtLayer

 object, and move the duplicate object into the layer set.

set current document to document "My Document"
set layerSetRef to make new layer set at end of current document
set newLayer to duplicate layer "Layer 1" of current document ¬

to end of current document

move newLayer to end of layerSetRef

In AppleScript, you can also duplicate a layer directly into the destination layer set.

set current document to document "My Document"
set layerSetRef to make new layer set at end of current document
duplicate layer "Layer 1" of current document to end of layerSetRef

In VBScript you can duplicate and place the layer with the same method.

Dim appRef, docRef
Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")

'Make a new document and a first layer in the document
Set docRef = appRef.Documents.Add()
appRef.ActiveDocument.ArtLayers.Add()

Set layerSetRef = docRef.LayerSets.Add()
Set layerRef = docRef.ArtLayers(1).Duplicate(layerSetRef, 2)

In JavaScript you can place the layer during the duplication method. 

// create a document and an initial layer
var docRef = app.documents.add()
docRef.artLayers.add()

var layerSetRef = docRef.layerSets.add()
var layerRef = docRef.artLayers[0].duplicate(layerSetRef,
