I'm trying to find the flatness value of the clipping path. The code below returns a number but it needs to be converted. How to get the real value of the flatness ? alert (getClippingPathFlatness()); function getClippingPathFlatness(){ var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ); var desc = executeActionGet( ref ); var clippingPath = desc.getObjectValue(charIDToTypeID("Clpg")); return clippingPath.getInteger(charIDToTypeID("ClpF" )); };

Hi, Does someone know with what does "swdM" (= "shadowMode" ) tally ? var idconvertToProfile = stringIDToTypeID( "convertToProfile" ); var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor(); var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" ); var ref1 = new ActionReference(); var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" ); var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ); var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ); ref1.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt ); desc1.putReference( idnull, ref1 ); var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T " ); desc1.putString( idT, """ProPhoto RGB""" ); var idInte = charIDToTypeID( "Inte" ); var idInte = charIDToTypeID( "Inte" ); var idClrm = charIDToTypeID( "Clrm" ); desc1.putEnumerated( idInte, idInte, idClrm ); var idMpBl = charIDToTypeID( "MpBl" ); desc1.putBoolean( idMpBl, true ); var idsdwM = charIDToTypeID( "sdwM" ); desc1.putInteger( idsdwM, 2 ); executeAction( idconvertToProfile, desc1, DialogModes.NO );

Sorry for my lack of understanding. Could you clarify the meaning of "This function (IEEE75) is for writing numbers in float mode (32 bits) as they are stored in memory in machine code. The coordinates of path points are stored (I think so) in double mode (64 bits)." Does it mean that the function itself or its parameters have to be modified in order to make the script to work or does it mean that for some points coordinates the conversion to binary file format ( ? ) will never be match the expected data ?

I have made some discovery about action tool recording. In fact, its the lack of precision of the click that can make the action to not works reliably. If you want it to be successfull almost all the times, just do it this way : - use a magnifier of your choice - eventually, modify your mouse cursor to a + crosshair (Sorry, that's a bad idea, the crosshair can't show; I hadn't tried before posting the message) - record you click action by clicking right in the middle of the targeted point. This way, the recorded action should works without any flaw, though it will still depend on doc zoom level used at the time of recording.

I don't really understand all the code;I 'm just guessing. The code runs reliably for point with integers coords, so afterall we are not so far away ? I thought the problem could come from the IEEE754 function ( which is a totaly brand new universe for me ). Can you confirm the problem doesn't come from this function ?

Yes, that is what I'm after. For example, how to obtain the same selection as the one we get when we use one of the Color Range option inside the Select Menu (Reds,Yellows, Greens, ...Shadows,Highlights, Midtones) First, I was thinking of finding the magic numbers for use inside Color Range AM Code from Sampled Color(s) with the Color Range Eyedroppers but I'm not sure it's possible to obtain the same result as using the Color Range AM Code from a Select Pop-Up Menu option. I have also tried a different approach by using other tools like gradient or selective color adj layers. In all case, the resulting selection I have obtained are not exactly identical to the Color Range non eyedropped ( one of Reds,Yellows... or Shadows...inside the Select menu ) Selection.

Some infos about color range taken from a book (in the real world series) dating back from CS3 : - for the select tones (shadows, midtones, highlights) options : "Photoshop decides whether to select a pixel (or how much to select it ) based on its Lab luminance value" with L value in lab mode being for shadows fully slected pixels = 1-40 partially selected pixels = 40-55 for midtones fully slected pixels = 55-75 partially selected pixels = 40-55 and 75-85 for highylights fully slected pixels = 80-100 partially selected pixels = 75-85 - for the select color (red, green, ...) options : "The greater the difference between the color you choose and the other primaries, the more the pixel is selected. (To get really tweaky for a moment, the percentage the pixel is selected is the percentage difference between the color you choose and the primary color with the next highest value.)" ___________________ end of the excerpt ____________________ With a BW gradient map adj layer I can reproduce, almost identically, the shape of the selection for a tones selection. With a selective color adj layer, by adjusting the black slider, I can almost identically the shape of the selection for a color selection. I'm still interested on how to exactly repdroduce selection resulting from a color range selection with a tones or color select option.

I have made some discoveries for the Tones Select Options. There are some other operations under the hood before the strict Color Range operation. If I'm right there is a BW linear mapping of the image that is involved. After that, for the Color Range Shadows selection the magic numbers could be fuziness 45, L 27, a 0, b 0. For Highlights, I haven't already find the right numbers but something like fuziness 41, L79, a 0, b 0 seems very close. Edited, cause it was total b...t !!!!

Hi, It could help to modify some scripts where I used Color Range with this kind of parameter (one of the select tone option or one of the select color option). I would like to test those scripts with a sligthly different selection, so it could be nice to know with what I used in the old version.

If we record with the ScriptListener a Cyans or Shadows selection Color Range, we get a code that doesn't contain any number, instead we get a code that tells us the option that was selected in these cases we would get a code with stringIDToTypeID( "cyans" ) or stringIDToTypeID( "shadows" ). I would like to know what are the min and max Lab numbers behind the cyans or shadows Color Range select options. To make it even more clear : How to transform this code, var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); descriptor.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID( "colors" ), stringIDToTypeID( "colors" ), stringIDToTypeID( "cyans" )); descriptor.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID( "colorModel" ), 0 ); executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "colorRange" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO ); into something like : var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); descriptor.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID( "fuzziness" ), ??????? ); var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor(); descriptor2.putDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "luminance" ), ??????? ); descriptor2.putDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "a" ), ??????? ); descriptor2.putDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "b" ), ??????? ); descriptor.putObject( stringIDToTypeID( "minimum" ), stringIDToTypeID( "labColor" ), descriptor2 ); var descriptor3 = new ActionDescriptor(); descriptor3.putDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "luminance" ), ??????? ); descriptor3.putDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "a" ), ??????? ); descriptor3.putDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "b" ), ??????? ); descriptor.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Mxm " ), stringIDToTypeID( "labColor" ), descriptor3 ); descriptor.putInteger( stringIDToTypeID( "colorModel" ), 0 ); executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "colorRange" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );

I have discovered a cool ScriptUI snippet on the illustrator fora, but it only works flawlessly when ESTK is targeted, not when Ps is targeted. So far, I haven't find a way to make the ui to redraw on request ( onChange or onChanging). I have tried to use "notify" or "layout.layout" but my tries were unsuccessfull.

Oh, my stupid mistake I thought it exports only the current selected actionset...not all the actionsets inside the palette. Thanks to you for opening my eyes ! By the way, I have also just discovered that the number of lines that can be written to the txt file seems to be limited : - with all my current actionsets, the export is no complete; some actionsets are missing. - but if i leave only few actionsets inside the action palette, the export is complete = all actionsets have been written to the file. So the solution is : before exporting to text, back-up the ActionsPalette.psp file, delete inside the actions palette the actionsets I don't need, then export to txt. When done, just reload my ActionsPalette back-up. (Ps need to be closed and relaunched) And voilà .

Thanks for trying to help. I'm a CS6 user, I should had said it before, sorry for not having. The TXT file is created after an error message prompt, but the TXT file content is not corresponding to the actionset I tried to export. The TXT content obtained is always filled with the same content of another actionset I tried to export a very long time ago.
