Question

Generate Images From ASE Swatches

Hi all.

I've created a series of ASE files of LAB swatches based on spectrometer readings of different ranges of furniture surface colours. I'm looking to create a series of PSD files, at a specific size and resolution, filled with each of these swatch colours, with the file names matching the swatch names.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I might go about automating this process?

Thanks.

    Have you searched the Photoshop Scripting Forum?

    I hadn't specifically, no. Thanks for that. The mean reason I wanted the images was to use them to generate Live Captions of the colour names in a brochure in InDesign. But since my layout will require some names to run over more than one line, and Live Captions can't do that , I've opted to just use the actual ASE swatches and copy & paste the names in.

    I will try the script, though.
