Hi,

First of all i want to say i'm not a IT so i just try to do the best of me.

I’m working on a script to obtain a .csv document with the information about the colour RGB/CMYK and the XY coordinates for this colour to update in a BBDD.

I have a problem, i found a script that only shows one colour that I pick up with the eyedropper tool (Photoshop).

How can I pick different colours? how can I integrated the XY ref.?

Thanks in advance

Paula

By whatever means, get the x & y values for the location of the color sample. The below show how to get the different color values. You don't need to change the document color space to get these different values. I don't know about getting Panetone values.

#target photoshop


var doc = activeDocument




x=200


y=150


doc.colorSamplers.removeAll();


var cS = doc.colorSamplers.add([x,y])


var cR = cS.color.rgb.red;


var cG = cS.color.rgb.green;


var cBl = cS.color.rgb.blue;


var cC = cS.color.cmyk.cyan


var cM = cS.color.cmyk.magenta


var cY = cS.color.cmyk.yellow


var cK = cS.color.cmyk.black


var cL = cS.color.lab.l


var cA = cS.color.lab.a


var cB = cS.color.lab.b

I asked a friend, she is working on it.

I know what I want but not how to get it.

If your friend should be stuck on something concerning the Scripting of this task they should post their code here.

Could you please post a sketch/mock-up or screenshots to clarify what you are trying to achieve?

The Color Sampler Tool can be used to create measurements for several locations.

This is my demo picture.

I open Photoshop and I convert the workplace to CMYK. I need to get the color code of a series of pixels (that i whant to select with the eyedropper tool).

Then I want to obtain the position of the pixel (XY) with the CMYK, RGB and LAB values for every pixel that i select and save theses values in a .txt document or excel.

If is it possible, i would like to obtain at the same time the Pantone but if is not possible, i can save the color like a new swatches and then, export the swatches fil and cross the to files to obtain the complete reference of color/pixel.
