Loading color settings

Sorry, I should have said that the color settings I want to use are saved as a csf.

So, the first time Photoshop is opened it identifies that the color settings aren't "correct_color_settings.csf" and so loads it.

When Photoshop is next opened the color settings are set to "correct_colour_settings.csf" but app.colorSettings still returns "custom".

If I load the csf file from "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Settings" it seems to work however.

Custom is the result of a non pre-defined set of color settings. If you want to create a check then you need to save your set as a '.csf' file then you can test using your method. It will return the name of the current set if it is defined. Something like this…

#target photoshop

app.bringToFront();

if (app.colorSettings != 'Europe Prepress 2') {

alert('Your color settings are wrong!!!');

}

else {

alert('Your color settings are OK…');

}

The Object Model Viewer in ESTK provides this:

»Application.colorSettings

Data Type: any

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Object Library

The name of the selected color setting's set.«

So it should be no wonder to get »custom« if the settings are not a saved set.

This might help:

var ref = new ActionReference();

ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

var appDesc = executeActionGet(ref);

var descColorSettings = appDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID( "colorSettings" ));

var rgbProfile = descColorSettings.getString(stringIDToTypeID("workingRGB"));

var cmykProfile = descColorSettings.getString(stringIDToTypeID("workingCMYK"));

alert(rgbProfile+"\n"+cmykProfile);
