Still new to all this.

I'm making script, and as a step I need to shift hue by set amount in recently opened document.

Like this:

Before, just opened

After hue shift +80

I tried to google it, but everything listed doesn't work for me. Currently I just use bit recorded with ScriptListener:

    var idHStr = charIDToTypeID("HStr");

    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idpresetKind = stringIDToTypeID("presetKind");

    var idpresetKindType = stringIDToTypeID("presetKindType");

    var idpresetKindCustom = stringIDToTypeID("presetKindCustom");

    desc5.putEnumerated(idpresetKind, idpresetKindType, idpresetKindCustom);

    var idClrz = charIDToTypeID("Clrz");

    desc5.putBoolean(idClrz, false);

    var idAdjs = charIDToTypeID("Adjs");

    var list1 = new ActionList();

    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idH = charIDToTypeID("H   ");

    desc6.putInteger(idH, 80);

    var idStrt = charIDToTypeID("Strt");

    desc6.putInteger(idStrt, 0);

    var idLght = charIDToTypeID("Lght");

    desc6.putInteger(idLght, 0);

    var idHsttwo = charIDToTypeID("Hst2");

    list1.putObject(idHsttwo, desc6);

    desc5.putList(idAdjs, list1);

    executeAction(idHStr, desc5, DialogModes.NO);

But that's too crude and hard to manage.

I know, that I must set SolidColor, like this:

var NewHue = new SolidColor();

NewHue.hsb.hue = 80;

But I cannot apply it. Well, app says I applied it, but no difference seen.

Correct answer pixxxelschubser

Well, little to none, see above.


Without to write two lines in one it seems to be that 8 lines are the minimum required code

(desc1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindCustom'))
desc1.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID('colorize'), false);
(desc2 = new ActionDescriptor()).putInteger(stringIDToTypeID('hue'), 80)
desc2.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID('saturation'), 0)
desc2.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID('lightness'), 0);
(list1 = new ActionList()).putObject(stringIDToTypeID('hueSatAdjustmentV2'), desc2);
desc1.putList(stringIDToTypeID('adjustment'), list1)
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID('hueSaturation'), desc1, DialogModes.NO);

Try this...

hueLayer(80,0,0);
function hueLayer(hue,sat,bright) {
var desc86 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref51 = new ActionReference();
ref51.putClass( charIDToTypeID('AdjL') );
desc86.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref51 );
var desc87 = new ActionDescriptor();
var desc88 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc88.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindDefault') );
desc88.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('Clrz'), false );
desc87.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Type'), charIDToTypeID('HStr'), desc88 );
desc86.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), charIDToTypeID('AdjL'), desc87 );
try{
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc86, DialogModes.NO );
}catch(e){}
var desc89 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref52 = new ActionReference();
ref52.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Chnl'), charIDToTypeID('Chnl'), charIDToTypeID('RGB ') );
desc89.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref52 );
desc89.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('MkVs'), false );
try{
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc89, DialogModes.NO );
}catch(e){}
var desc90 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref53 = new ActionReference();
ref53.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('AdjL'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
desc90.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref53 );
var desc91 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc91.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindCustom') );
var list9 = new ActionList();
var desc92 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc92.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('H   '), hue );
desc92.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Strt'), sat );
desc92.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Lght'), bright );
list9.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Hst2'), desc92 );
desc91.putList( charIDToTypeID('Adjs'), list9 );
desc90.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), charIDToTypeID('HStr'), desc91 );
try{
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc90, DialogModes.NO );
}catch(e){}
};

Your ScriptListener code works as it is (on every selected artlayer). This means the layer should be selected (and not a layer with a selection). And you don't need a new SolidColor.

Save you code as jsx and run from script menu in PS.

Here is the same code as yours, but only a little bit cleaned

var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc1.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindCustom') );
desc1.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('Clrz'), false );
    var list1 = new ActionList();
        var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        desc2.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('H   '), 80 );
        desc2.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Strt'), 0 );
        desc2.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Lght'), 0 );
    list1.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Hst2'), desc2 );
desc1.putList( charIDToTypeID('Adjs'), list1 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('HStr'), desc1, DialogModes.NO );

Have fun

I know that it works, script containing it worked just fine.

Now I have to include it in more elaborate algorhitm than before, and this block is very hard to properly maintain.

I hoped that there exists something shorter and more transparent, about 5-6 lines total.

How good is your Javascript knowledgebase?

You can work with functions. Rewrite the above code as function

function hueCorrection(hue, sat, bright) { 
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc1.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindCustom') );
    desc1.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('Clrz'), false );
        var list1 = new ActionList();
            var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
            desc2.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('H   '), hue );
            desc2.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Strt'), sat );
            desc2.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Lght'), bright );
        list1.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Hst2'), desc2 );
    desc1.putList( charIDToTypeID('Adjs'), list1 );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('HStr'), desc1, DialogModes.NO );
};

Call this function with this line whenever you need it:

hueCorrection(80,0,0);

Have fun
