Linked image color space

[Murali.M]

Hello guys..

Any script to ALERT linked image color space and resolution ?

Its possible without photoshop script or bridge talk ?

Thank you for your advice..

In this case, You can retrieve some information from XMP metadata.

Here is a sample code of manipurate XMP metadata.

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
}
var fNm = app.selection[0].file;
var xmp = new XMPFile( fNm.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ);
var obj = xmp.getXMP();
xmp.closeFile();
var result = [];
obj.serialize(XMPConst.SERIALIZE_READ_ONLY_PACKET | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC,"format"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP,"CreatorTool"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF,"XResolution"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF,"XResolution"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF,"YResolution"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF,"PixelXDimension"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF,"PixelYDimension"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF,"SamplesPerPixel"));
alert(result);

and result...

Thank you @ Ten A,

I need to display a alert to linked image colour space (CMYK or RGB) , and PPI.

I found a solution for color, but it's not working my system.

I don't know it's correct or not, but I just share this for your reference.

Thank you again...

if(selectList.typename== 'PlacedItem' || 'RasterItem')

var x=selectList.imageColorSpace;

alert(x);

had some update previous one.

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
}
var fNm = app.selection[0].file;
//var fNm = File.openDialog ("select target file");
var xmp = new XMPFile( fNm.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ);
var obj = xmp.getXMP();
xmp.closeFile();
var result = [];
var cm = ["GrayScale","","RGB","CMYK"];
obj.serialize(XMPConst.SERIALIZE_READ_ONLY_PACKET | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC,"format"));
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP,"CreatorTool"));
result.push(eval(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF,"XResolution").toString())+"dpi");
result.push(eval(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF,"YResolution").toString())+"dpi");
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF,"PixelXDimension")+"px");
result.push(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF,"PixelYDimension")+"px");
result.push(Number(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF,"PixelXDimension"))/app.selection[0].width*72+"(actual PPI)");
result.push(cm[Number(obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP,"ColorMode"))-1]);
//result.push(""obj.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_XMP_MM,"History[1]/stEvt:when"));
alert(result);

For the discussion, wouldn't XMPString property of the document return all needed infos ? Would avoid loading XMPLib ?

To retrieve XMP image is one of an easy way to get Images info. However, some images don't have this kind of information and old Illustrator doesn't have AdobeXMPScript library. In this case, We can get information from images directly like below link.

Dear Ten A,

You saved my day.

[Loic.Aigon]

You are right. I discarded the linked image part
