Change spongeTool values

[Geppetto Luis]

I saw this discussion
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/script-call-dodge-amp-burn/m-p/10776697
where it is possible to modify dodge and burn by script

I would like to do the same thing for the spongeTool tool
 
Modify
starved / desaturated
flow
Vibrance.

Have you tried ScriptListener to see if it generates usable Action Manager code?

[r-bin · Accepted solution]

Try

// flow

options.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("flow"),50); 


// mode

options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("desaturate"));

// or

options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("saturate"));


// vibrance

options.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useLegacy"), true);

// or 

options.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useLegacy"), false);

r-bin in this topic and in this older one, you have performed magic!

Can you share where/how others can work this out?

[r-bin]

Use this code

var r = new ActionReference(); 
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool")); 
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum")); 
var options = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));    

The options variable is ActionDescriptor.

Use the methods and properties of an ActionDescriptor (see documentation, e.g. photoshop-cc-javascript-ref-2019.pdf) to access the descriptor keys.
Knowing these keys (the class, type and value of the key can be obtained using the ActionDescriptor methods), you can then change the ones you need simply using the ActionDescriptor.putXXXX() methods and the remaining code in that topic.

(for CS6, changing currentToolOptions does not work. You can only read the descriptor (options) and find out the values)

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Mr. r-bin
I tried the code
Nothing happens when I operate it
does not work and does not change values.

This is what I did
am I doing something wrong

var desc23 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref6 = new ActionReference();
ref6.putClass( charIDToTypeID( "SrTl" ));
desc23.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref6 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), desc23, DialogModes.NO );

var r = new ActionReference(); 
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool")); 
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum")); 
var options = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));  

// flow
options.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("flow"),50); 

// mode
options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("desaturate"));

// or
//options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("saturate"));

// vibrance
//options.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useLegacy"), true);

// or 
options.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useLegacy"), false);

There, at the Stephen_A_Marsh link above, there is still more code after options.put ...

Perfect
r-bin you are the best
thanks
