    string

    Intent

    boolean

    The destinationProfile parameter must

    mode or Working RGB, Working CMYK,

    Working Gray, Lab Color (meaning one

    of the working color spaces or Lab color).

      I don't follow completely.  If you can embedded profiles how come you can't embedded brushes / tool presets ?

      Assigning a Color Profile from a Script

      The goal is save a custom ICC profile as a script.  Load this profile which is a script , no dependence on manually assigning the profile to the composition, speeding up workflow. Executing the script assigns the color profile to the composition, it does not convert the color profile that remains the same, for now.

      Loading and Saving Brushes & Brush ToolSets

      When I want to save a Brush or Tool Preset to the script (menu) I am given the option on wheather I want to save the Brush / Tool Set Preset to the location that photoshop would normally save the Brush / Tool Set Preset or to the menu. If the menu is choosen the Brush / Tool Set Preset would appear and a icon representing the Brush or the Tool Set Preset in which the preset was saved with.  Selecting the brush icon you could delete the brush if needed, all the brushes and tool set presets are saved in the script, they are not loaded externally from within a folder they are all saved in the script.  Re-locating or moving the menu to another computer keeps things organized without having to search for the brushes from photoshop and then copy and paste, this makes moving the custom photoshop workflow to another computer painless and your desired brushes and tool presets follow you no worry of loss if PC failure / photoshop re-install etc.

      I want to make this all a reality, if there are things that may have to be changed or routed differently please explain so it can be compleated, as I look forward to it.


      Can I get help getting both of these completed within a week as I need to complete my menu.
