Question

Can I automatically color every subsequent letter with a different color selecting a swatch group?

Hello, 

 

I'm searching help for a task, I want to generate a batch of text images in which each individual letter is colored differently. If I create a text and then put a different color on each letter there is no problem but if I want to use variables to produce different text it applies the same effect of the first letter to the full text, this is forcing me to enter each file and re color each letter. I'm curious if there's a method or a script to automatically ensure that each successive letter in every text image receives a unique color. For example, I want the first letter of the text to be bleu, second to be orange, thirt to be green, and then it repeats, forth letter to be bleu, fifth to be orange, sixth to be green, etc

Also, I would like to color the text selecting a swatch group if this is possible.

 

For example:

The Bank

 

Thank you in advance

    DOM code cannot do that, that needs AM code. 

    Did @jazz-y ’s post already solve the issue? 

     

    If not please explain the Swatch Group issue with the help of screenshots. (I am not sure this is [easily] possible anyway.)

    Hi, this is not exactly what I am searching, it is a workaround but it has a "space issue" like I posted in jazz's answer, and also its not by selecting swatches (in illustrator to colirize by selecting the swatches group is possible with a script, dont know if in photoshop too)

    Like after select that swatch group, to run a script that will add the color to each letter

    Can you automatically give every subsequent letter a different color for a batch of text designs?

      Hi, this is not exactly what I am searching but it's a workaround, only that for this script I need to create a separated script for every swatch group that I want to use and, with this script it is taking in account the "spaces" as characters, so its trying to color the spaces, is there a way to avoid this "spaces issues"? To explain:

      This scipt do this:

      The Bank

      Instead of this:

      The Bank
