One of the biggest challenges big companies like Adobe have is to fight Tech Debt and Operational Debt. One of the signs Adobe is showing more and more over the last years is that their teams "work in silos", producing more debt. Integrating Lightroom/ACR/PS is a must if Adobe wants to be innovative, not a choice. For example, their competitor integrated PS/Illustrator/InDesign into one single app. Or, for example, their PS Liquify is undestructive and allow Raw images as SmartObjects to have reversible Liquify. That is integration, actual value added! User-centric approach. "It is not possible" is never true! It is always possible.

Inside the Liquify panel, add a toggle button (enabled only when a layer has a mask and is pixel-based): named "send mesh to Mask" (if it's liquifying the layer Pixels); named "send mesh to Pixels" (if it's liquifying the mask); If the toggle button is ON: Liquify automatically applies the "last mesh" to the other component of the layer (pixels or mask). Someone asked me: Selecting the mask and applying the last filter again did not work? My answer: It works manually, sure. Now try to do it on 50,000 images per day; my entire team of 380 photo editors needs to deliver... What do you prefer? Automation or 50000 times to re-open Liquify UI, only to click an annoying button? This feature needs to be available to scripting as well! #liquify

Tested on e-commerce PDP images, but it totally fails in the reconstruction of the fine detailed micro-textures of the garments. It requires significant manual effort to recover the micro-texture. This same issue happens in the new Remove Tool in PS as well. Not fit for post-production usage. Not ready yet for professional usage.

Great to see this and test it out. If it removes 80% of the spots, it's ready to be public, even if it can get even better later on, because I tested on some images where it removed one unrelated to sensor dust dot that should have been kept.

I looove this! Color Mixer > Point Color > VARIANCE with several customized sample colors. Once, my Editorial team had a 3rd party plugin only for Variance. Unfortunately, CameraRaw is not suitable for e-commerce color matching (95% of my team's work). We need to have a side-by-side reference (sometimes it can be a color sample as a small RGB color square or even a color value input, often an approved sample sent by the fashion brand studio after the studio corrected its colors). CameraRaw does not let us input a sample near any specific part of the image (the ability to drag it). CameraRaw would not affect it, leaving it untouched and only used as the visual reference. It is not practical to match a color to a reference that is only available in a Photoshop Layer that can't be side-by-side.

In Editorial photography, many fashion brands need to scale their operations because the images need to be ready ASAP. Therefore, the brand's high-end post-production team doesn't want to do the "boring" job of masking all the image areas themselves. So brands ask for the help of vendors who can prepare all images, already having a precise list of ready-made masks. Once the vendor delivers it, the brand handles the high-end retouching in-house. Many masks are done in Photoshop, but we know that ACR is excellent for advanced masking. Problem: The client wants the final mask(s) in a PSD file in a few layers and, while ACR many times would do the job of creating the perfect mask faster and with more quality than Photoshop, we do not have a chance of exporting a mask from ACR to a mask in a Photoshop layer. This would add value to many teams, would reduce the time to deliver the images (fashion brands value the quality and speed a lot). A hybrid workflow, ACR + PS for masking, would streamline the process. What masks to export from ACR? Option generic: ACR exports the flattened mask from several submasks Option partial: ACR exports any selected mask(s) composite It would export directly to a pre-detected PS version of the active image/layer or layerSet. If it is not possible to export the mask directly to PS, at least export it as a greyscale image, so that PS can load it later as a mask. It could also export the full image + the mask as a PSD, or PSB if too big. #mask #export #cameraraw #photoshop

This makes total sense to have. Overscroll on Liquify, like we already have overscroll on Select&Mask. Especially in cases (and my team of 500 photo-editors confirms it on a daily basis) where we need to drag a new mesh using a big brush starting from outside of the photo. If we zoom it (many times, we need to better see the details), we cannot place the brush outside because of the absence of overscroll.

I want to use ACR in Photoshop and use the last settings applied. When I do that manually, it works ok. If I want to automate it as an Action, It doesn't work because the Action saves a list of specific values and not a group of values (that could be stored in Preferences). That group of values could be a file that could always save the last specification usage of ACR in PS. For example, Liquify saves the last mesh used as a file on Preferences: "/Users/pedrocm/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2022 Settings/Liquify Last Mesh.psp" Then I could call it in an Action or Script, and it would work always having the last used mesh Liquify specifications. For example the code call for "Liquify Last Mesh" {"$LqMD":"/Users/pedrocm/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2022 Settings/Liquify Last Mesh.psp","_obj":"$LqFy"} If I do the same on ACR in PS, the code is not the "ACR last spec". Instead is the speficics stored on a recorded Action: {"$CrVe":"16.0.1","$GuUr":"<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x=\"adobe:ns:meta/\" x:xmptk=\"Adobe XMP Core 7.0-c000 1.000000, 0000/00/00-00:00:00 \">\n <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\">\n <rdf:Description rdf:about=\"\"\n xmlns:crs=\"http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-settings/1.0/\"\n crs:UprightFourSegmentsCount=\"3\"\n crs:UprightFourSegments_0=\"0.231132412,0.112691399,0.263019349,0.897845740\"\n crs:UprightFourSegments_1=\"0.824209842,0.449779076,0.806121722,0.938445797\"\n crs:UprightFourSegments_2=\"0.299548758,0.050313331,0.828177015,0.023088944\"/>\n </rdf:RDF>\n</x:xmpmeta>\n","$PerU":5,"$PrVN":6,"$PrVe":251920384,"$Upri":"<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x=\"adobe:ns:meta/\" x:xmptk=\"Adobe XMP Core 7.0-c000 1.000000, 0000/00/00-00:00:00 \">\n <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\">\n <rdf:Description rdf:about=\"\"\n xmlns:crs=\"http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-settings/1.0/\"\n crs:UprightVersion=\"151388160\"\n crs:UprightCenterMode=\"0\"\n crs:UprightCenterNormX=\"0.5\"\n crs:UprightCenterNormY=\"0.5\"\n crs:UprightFocalMode=\"0\"\n crs:UprightFocalLength35mm=\"35\"\n crs:UprightPreview=\"False\"\n crs:UprightTransformCount=\"6\"\n crs:UprightTransform_5=\"1.041904751,-0.072653634,0.004040699,0.049837859,0.989245197,-0.085139212,0.047974958,-0.129688803,1.000000000\"/>\n </rdf:RDF>\n</x:xmpmeta>\n"} In this case, I want to repeat the last ACR settings on another layer or from a Layer to a mask. I am forced to do it manually and not in a PS Action that adapts to the "ACR last spec". Can ACR save a specification as "ACR last spec" file in PS Preferences and use it in PS recorded Actions? This would elevate automatization and the value to all clients. I would love this implemented on PS last versions and not only the beta one.

Add Overscroll [Space drag over canvas] inside Liquify window Just like we have in photoshop. It would avoid many zoom-in and zoom-out. A simple solution that empowers your clients: Have a Liquify setting for the user to enter a zoom factor where 100% is fit to the viewport window. The user could set 80% or 70%, meaning that he selects the preview to be smaller than starting "fit to viewport" window. This way, one could start dragging the tool of liquifying from outside of the corners immediately, for example. It is mandatory for high-volume image retouching.

My team receives weekly around 13000 images for color matching.
To be more productive and read the HSB values of color, we would benefit from having the option of getting immediate HSB values when we add a color sampler. 13000 X 2 color samplers per image = 26000 color samplers and 26000 RGB to HSB values changes.
Please let us have the choice to add HSB values on the INFO panel by adding any new colorSampler.
The idea is to add another third line after "First color readout" and "Second color readout" regarding the mode preference of any new color sampler.

I like to color change or color match using the HSB method and color samplers.
By default, every time I create a new color sampler, the info panel color values show me RGB values.
I would like to have an additional specification on the info panel preferences, allowing me to choose the value kind I want to see (avoiding selecting it every time there is a new color sampler). In my case, I would like to have always HSB values showing up, not RGB.

You can save persistent data after closing photoshop. I didn't try it but I remember in the past to use this where you can save your action descriptor values with 2 options: - persistent True (remains on memory if you restart photoshop) - persistent Off (only during the session) (note: why Adobe don't have this on libraries as it should, remains a mistery) ///// args (key:string, customObject:ActionDescriptor, persistent:Boolean)
///// key: unique name | customObject: object to save in the registry | persistent: persists after the active session has finished (after photoshop has closed)
//~ app.putCustomOptions()
//~ app.getCustomOptions()
// real examples:
// persistent
var AD1 = new ActionDescriptor();
AD1.putString(stringIDToTypeID("AnyString_A"), "AnyDataString")
AD1.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("AnyString_B"), 6)
AD1.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("MainImage"), new File( "C:\\Users\\admin\\Dropbox\\images examples\\123456789_Main.psd" ))
AD1.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("Image01"), new File( "C:\\Users\\admin\\Dropbox\\images examples\\123456789_back01.psd" ))
AD1.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("Image02"), new File( "C:\\Users\\admin\\Dropbox\\images examples\\123456789_back02.psd" ))
// It may be stored in this registry:
// C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\32 bit Photoshop dlls\libmmd.dll
// C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\32 bit Photoshop dlls\libifcoremd.dll
// C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll
// PERSISTENT ON PHOTOSHOP REGISTRY ALL SESSIONS on PC
app.putCustomOptions("Testing", AD1, true);
// some examples not persistent (exists per photoshop session)
var AD2 = new ActionDescriptor();
AD2.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("Image00"), new File( "C:\\Users\\admin\\Dropbox\\images examples\\789_back00.psd" ))
// NON PERSISTENT (only active photoshop session data available)
app.putCustomOptions("Testing_temp", AD2, false);
// read some data:
data1_persistent = app.getCustomOptions("Testing").getPath(stringIDToTypeID("Image02")).fsName
data2_session_only = app.getCustomOptions("Testing_temp").getPath(stringIDToTypeID("Image00")).fsName

Photoshop CC2020 v. has released the fantastic new object selection tool, and it embedded it inside "select & mask" to help refine masks. Still, "select & mask" doesn't embed the tools Burn and Dodge, so in terms of productivity, we still need to use that outside of "select & mask" in order to finish mask refinement. Not so practical nither fast to do. 😞

Hi Javier It returns an error because it is entering an array and not a single number. I have changed the code and it works now. for(var i = 0; i < points.length; i++) {
var pointDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
pointDesc.putDouble( charIDToTypeID( "Hrzn" ), points[i][0] );
pointDesc.putDouble( charIDToTypeID( "Vrtc" ), points[i][1] );
pointsList.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Pnt " ), pointDesc );

I have done this in the past. The script is one and each time it runs, it runs throw it all until is finished. The script itself must check if there are any shapes created and run accordingly. So you must run the same script twice. if (shapes exist?) { run when shapes exist } else { create shapes }

You need to sort them like this: var folder = new Folder("~/Desktop/sorting"); var files = folder.getFiles("*.jpg"); files.sort(); // ascending files.reverse(); // if need to be descending, use this for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) $.writeln(decodeURI(File(files).name)); You can use other functions to personalize other sorting advanced methods also. Depends on what you are dealing with.
