Hi all,

Does anyone know is there any way to convert to a custom profile with parameters that I want ( for example set Dot gain to 20%) via PS api. The code above is not doing anything.

const photoshop = require('photoshop');
photoshop.app.activeDocument.convertProfile(Working SMYK - SWOP (Coated), 20%, GCR, Medium);

But if I am converting to Working Gray it works. ( convertProfile('Working Gray'));

Try this: substitute "Working CMYK" for "Working SMYK", I'm presuming that SMYK is a typo in your script?

By the way, Photoshop's "Custom CMYK" is pretty poor. it's definitely not making a proper CMYK ICC profile

Never used the API, only JS in Photoshop. Is this the best forum for API questions?

SMYK or CMYK?

Why does your example of a CMYK conversion specify parameters after Working SMYK when Working Gray has no parameters?

Good luck!
