Color conversion script?

• Export of the correct Hex colors via script

  Hi all

  I need to export the fillColor of a paragraph via script style.

  I can get the fillColor of the paragraph style property and can also convert CMYK Hex. However, I realize that color in InDesign values in some color space of the document uses.

  My question is, is there a native API to convert the values of color for a web safe color value? If this is not the case, how can I go on the correspondences between colors?

  In addition, I see that Adobe knows internally to convert it to a good hex color (attached screenshot - note the color property in the export marking side). If I can't use some native API, is there a way to access the text in this pane?

  

  Thank you all in advance!

  Win! It worked!

  Here is the complete solution-

  Assuming that the original color is stored in a variable named color :

  var color = passedInColor; //the original color that we wish to convert.
  
  // Create a temporary color instance that we'll use to extract updated colorValues.
  var scratchColor = workingDoc.colors.add({
                           model: color.model,
                           space: color.space,
                           colorValue: color.colorValue
                      });
  
  // Now, we force adobe's internal color conversion mechanism to trigger by changing the scratchColor's color space.
  scratchColor.space = ColorSpace.RGB;
  var updatedValues = scratchColor.colorValue; // Updated values now has the properly mapped and converted RGB values.
  // You may need to round off the R, G and B values in the updatedValues array.
  // And that's it!
  

  Why am I not surprised that she should be a hacky autour work? * sigh *. It was so so so frustrating to work on this platform! I hope adobe gets his act together!

• Chaning color Illustrator script?

  Hello community! I have about 600 files that I need to change the colors of pale green/dark green to light blue/dark blue, and I need a script for this. Here are a few simple letters divided in two and everything I need is the upper part to be dark blue instead of dark green and the lower part to be light blue instead of the original light green. Is this possible? I use windows 10 as my operating system. Any help is very appreciated!

  Kind regards

  David.

  This code should you select a folder and then loop through all files with. EPS file extensions.
  Note that this script assumes that all colors are exactly the same two Greens as in this sample file you sent.

  You will need to replace the RGB values of the above colors in the marking lines.<- here"="" with="" the="" values="" for="" the="" new="" blue="">

  function ConvertColors() {
  
      /* REPLACE THESE RGB VALUES */
      var topColor = new RGBColor();
  
      topColor.red = 0;    // <- HERE
      topColor.green = 0;    // <- HERE
      topColor.blue = 255;   // <-HERE
  
      var bottomColor = new RGBColor();
  
      bottomColor.red = 255;   // <- HERE
      bottomColor.green = 0;   // <- HERE
      bottomColor.blue = 0;  // <- HERE
  
      /* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ */
  
      // we'll just use the Red value of the top to identify which color we have
      var oldTopColor = 140;
  
      var dir = Folder.selectDialog("Where?");
      var files = dir.getFiles("*.eps");
  
      // loop through all the files in the selected directory
      for(var f = 0; f < files.length; f++){
          var doc = app.open(files[f]);
  
          // loop through all paths and change the colors based on current fill
          var paths = doc.pathItems;
          for( var i = 0, ii = paths.length; i < ii; i++ ) {
              var curPath = paths[i];
  
              // check the fill color to see if it has the same Red value as the old top color
              if( curPath.fillColor.red == oldTopColor ) {
                  curPath.fillColor = topColor;
              }
              // if not it must be the bottom color
              else {
                  curPath.fillColor = bottomColor;
              }
          }
  
          // close and save the changes
          doc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);
      }
  }

• How to remove colors custom Script UI control?

  Dear forum,

  I am writing a script for batch renaming links in InDesign.

  

  If the user types the text edit field the new name which coincides with name of the original link (1^st static text in the Group), the script gives a warning and he painted red.

  

  

  When the user solves the problem by making the new different name, the script he painted black.

  

  Here's where I got so far:

  g.et.onChange = function() {
      if (this.parent.children[0].text.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '') == this.text) {
          alert("\"" + this.text + "\" - the new name is the same as the old one! The file won't be renamed.", "Error", true);
          this.graphics.foregroundColor = this.graphics.newPen(this.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0], 1);
      }
      else {
          if (this.graphics.foregroundColor != undefined) {
              $.writeln("Names are different: change the name from red to black.");                        
              this.graphics.foregroundColor = this.graphics.newPen(this.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [0, 0, 0], 1);
          }
      }
  }
  

  "g" is the text in a group.

  I wonder, is there a way to reset the color to the default text instead of repainting it?

  Currently, it checks if foregroundColor of graph is not undefined - which is painted with "newPen" - and if it is true, he painted black. But I guess it is a clumsy workaround and there should be a good way to do this.

  Kind regards

  Hi Kasyan

  Pre CC could set the color to null, CC, this causes an accident.

  PS there are other options (color theme), but not on ID so paint is the only option I know.

  The challenge is dealing with default colors that depend on the setting. To change the text in the foreground is always black background colors you can either take the approach here Re: Re: Re: Re: ScriptUI: element of change to the default color

  Or a longer but more effective approach would be to go pass 100 values possible topic and get the associated rgb values.

  Probably not interesting put in a lot of effort as the way things are going THAT SUI will not support editing text in a few years.

• HTML in PDF format ready to print with the CMYK color conversion

  How can I convert a webpage (html) as a PDF ready to print, including a RGB to CMYK conversion?

  I use a free trial of Acrobat DC. What I tried, is to use the browser button to convert HTML to PDF. I then open the document and go to the menu "Print Production. I expected to find the option "Convert colors", but he's not here. Help documentation indicates that this option is available only if you export your PDF file to a device "high-end". What is a high-end device? I use my laptop.

  (1) under the Production of printing tools, in the right pane, you will find the convert colors tool. That's what you're looking for. Its availability has nothing to do with what type of device you send the PDF file.

  (2) that said, converting the PDF to CMYK color space is not necessarily required to print. You certainly can print an RGB and/or the PDF to grayscale for a local or network PostScript laser printer, for example. What makes you think that you absolutely need CMYK for printing any other type? Each RIP/DFE these days can directly manipulate the RGB content.

• Model by unwanted color change script

  I defined a model I intend using as a filling. After that I selected scripted brick and model of the pop box filling up I noticed that it is by changing the colors of my boss. I put the cursor of random color to 0 but the colors of my original pattern are different.

  I don't want my pattern color to change. Is this possible?

  I thought about it.

  If your color RGB mode the colors remain the same. Is it your CMYK color mode as it was for me, the colors change.

  You must change it back between RGB and CMYK

• Menu color by Script

  Hi Experts,

  I'm trying to create a Menu ID that contains submenus, and I want to apply the color for this menu. It can be done manually by Edit-> Menus...-> by selecting the menu, next to this menu, we can change the color, is to enter into the menu.

• Spot color to process color conversion

  I have a book that my boss is eager to print. This book is filled with RGB / tones. I discovered that if I go into the "ink Manager" I can check the box "All Spots to process", but the weird thing is after I check in my Swatches Panel and discover that nothing has been converted. What is happening with this? I also found a script handy to convert RGB to CMYK colours, but I still have to find a script to convert all the spot to treat the colors in the swatches Panel. Anyone know where I can get a script for this?

  You don't want to do that, you just think you do. Redining stains as process means they will be redefined again if you need to print as spot. "Effectively" ink Manager using the redfinition fact and if you check the box use Lab Valus that it will convert even at better mixtures for any CMYK profile choose you for the output, increasing the chances of a good game (given that most of the tasks do not convert to CMYK will). The built-in CMYK values are for some unknown profile that most likely is not the same as the one you will use.

• Calc the MDX script conversion script

  Hello
  
  We converted our cube BSO to ASO. so, we are now certain of our calc conversion MDX script.
  
  SO I'll try the figute what can I use in MDX to FIX and DIM CALC commands in Calc script?
  
  We use the EMP 11.1.2.
  
  Thank you

  You're not really converting them. There is not a procedure calc to ASO (Yes Cameron, I know that there but for the point of the question, that's irrevelent). As ASO cubes dynamically calculate the upper levels, there is no need of a Calc Dim statement. Some formaulas to work only on subsets of data, consider using a Case statement or an IIF statement. I find the case easier to read, but that's just me.

• Color select Script needs refining

  Hello

  I've been running this simple script (created by an end PS scripter) in action:

  #target Photoshop

  main() {} function

  if(!documents.) Length) return;

  app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.removeAll ();

  var X = activeDocument.width.as('px')/2;

  var sample = activeDocument.colorSamplers.add ([new UnitValue (X, 'px'), new UnitValue (1, 'px')]);

  app.backgroundColor = sample.color;

  app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.removeAll ();

  }

  main();

  It selects the top center pixel color, sample, for the bottom point. Now I need to select a 5 x 5 moy. Second, is there a way to hide the INFORMATION pane, which opens by running the script? This appears not be called from an action, of course, and I'm not script.

  Thanks for any help.

  This should make an average...

  #target Photoshop
  function main(){
  if(!documents.length) return;
  var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
  app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
  try{
  app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.removeAll();
  var X = activeDocument.width/2;
  var LB=[];
  LB[0] = X.value;
  LB[1] = 1;
  LB[2] = X.value +5;
  LB[3] = 6;
  var tmpColour = new SolidColor();
  var savedState = activeDocument.activeHistoryState;
  activeDocument.selection.select([[LB[0],LB[1]], [LB[2],LB[1]], [LB[2],LB[3]], [LB[0], LB[3]]], SelectionType.REPLACE, 0, false);
  activeDocument.activeLayer.applyAverage();
  var sample = activeDocument.colorSamplers.add( [ new UnitValue( X+1, 'px' ), new UnitValue( 2, 'px' ) ] );
  tmpColour=sample.color;
  activeDocument.activeHistoryState = savedState;
  app.backgroundColor=tmpColour;
  app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
  }catch(e){alert(e + " - " + e.line);}
  }
  main();
  

  I was not able to stop the information panel so I add to my open panels is not intrusive.

• Access to the project color management script

  I know that you can access some color management settings in a script (i.e. bitsPerChannel), but I don't know about the others. In particular, can you get/set the workspace through a script? Thank you.

  N ° no color management controls are available in a script. bitsPerChannel and linearBlending are parameters of project that are associated with the color, but none are specific to color management.

• Crazy color conversion prodblem

  I'm designing a package using PMS662. I have the color will be used in the process. PS, the conversion in the process I have values of C:100 M:94 Y:31 K:13. In InDesign and Illustrator but I have C:100 M:71 Y:0 values K:18. Now I know that I can simply define values in PS since it will be printed in process, so it's more a curiosity thing I think I should better understand.

  General information - color settings are synchronized between the applications and the color has been chosen among the same Pantone book named (Pantone Solid Coated) in all three applications. I've been doing this for a long time and I never notice any other color be so different between programs.

  Any idea would be appreciated. Thank you.

  MIke

  PS - I've attached a screenshot of PS implementation for reference.

  

  InDesign and Illustrator use Pantone Solid to process default values.

  2 options:

  1. in Photoshop, use the solid to Process library when picking out the color.

  2. in InDesign, the swatch Panel, ink Manager, use the Lab values for spots. Illustrator, swatch, tones, use the lab values

  With option 1 you get Pantone Solid to process book numbers. With option 2 you use Lab book of numbers. These are converted to the CMYK destination. As long as the color settings and document profiles are synchronized, the lab CMYK conversion must match in three applications.

  With Illustrator and Photoshop, you should know that if the documents are RGB, that will change the result. Working with PANTONE to RGB can be somewhat difficult. Let me know if you have any questions.

• Color Picker script or algorithm levels help

  First question is: did anyone know of a good explanation of the algorithm of levels as in how each setting affects a pixel in an image. If I change the middle point levels, how a specific pixel change in relation to this? I've experimented for hours and cannot understand one common factor other that there seems to be a relationship of binary type. The reason why I ask this question, it's because I'm trying to generate scripts that will balance the colors.

  If this method is not practical, I can go to the old method of old-fashioned trial and error, but this way also presents an obstacle for me. I made a point of color picker and the script can get the values from there exactly as it is in the Info Panel. If I put an above levels adjustment layer and adjust it, I now see the initial color and the adjusted value of color in the Info Panel, but I can't figure out how to get the value adjusted with a script. It always returns the original value. Does anyone know how to get the adjusted value?

  I hope I explained this right.

  What version of Photoshop are you using and what layer is active when you ran the script? I guess the depth of space and little color might also have.

  With CS4, 8 bit RGB I get different values, unless the adjustment layer was not visible when the script starts. Looks like maybe your adjustment layer was turned off when you ran the script becuse you see 226 (rounded) in the alert

  this technically possible?

  You can insert small images like screenshots directly into a forum post using the photo icon above where you type in the text:

  Here are three screenshots...

  Native raw in C1:

  

  DNG in ACR:

  

  DNG in Mac preview:

  

  The only problem that you are experiencing is the overview of the DNG on the Mac is dull, but the images you create are ok?  I think that the DNG Converter is what creates the DNG preview, so I don't know how upgrading to a newer version ACR would change the DNG preview.

  What version of the converter DNG you used to create the the ARWs DNG?  You could try the last DNGC 9.6: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ so this isn't one you have used.

  Also made of Adobe and rendering of C1 would be different if it's not any problem.
