How to align values of chart images by flip horizontal?

Report · May 23, 2023

I receive about 1000 chart images daily that following images are two sample of my images:

Now i want to align values of charts using flip horizontal and use photoshop action or script to apply on 1000 daily images like following:

The left side of the chart bars does not need any changes and photoshop action can divide the images into two parts (left side of chart bars - other sides of chart bars)

next step of action after dividing images, the values on the right side of the chart bars should be selected with Color Range (dark color)

Now i have problem after above step. I must expand selection of values (that i selected by color range) to only left side and selections must extend to the edge of the left border of the layer.

After extending the selections to the leftmost point of the layer, i can convert each selection to specific layer and every layer can filp horizontal.

Finally with above steps photoshop action can align all of my images values.

Does anyone have any ideas to solve my problem?

Please help me in any way you can. If I don't find a solution to this problem, I will lose my job. My only hope is God and this forum and I hope to find a solution for this problem.

»Flip_only_selected_layers_verticaly.jsx« also used DOM-code for the flipping and should benefit from using AM-code.

But I strongly discourage using ChatGPT for this.

The Scripts

Flip_only_selected_layers_verticaly.jsx

Flip_only_selected_layers_horizontal.jsx

seem identical except for the direction of the flipping, so if the horizontal AM-heavier version is faster just adapt the line

desc6.putUnitDouble( stringIDToTypeID( "width" ), stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" ), -100.000000 );

for the flipping in the other direction.

sir in chart images i want to select values like following:

and then convert that selection to following:

i can do this by photoshop action but the steps are complicated (i attach sample PNG and script here, you can check my method steps). do you have faster and simpler idea for steps after values selection?

note that i can do this by photoshop action but i don't want waste time for complicated steps after values selection. It is not wise to go through those complicated steps every time for every type of chart images.

my method for this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f9zwP3M39qB-W7LilapqvcCO5zKJmLvS/view?usp=sharing

If you can achieve the result you need for all the different graphics you have to process with an Action then that’s fine.

I am not interested in this anymore.

sir can you tell me what is the name of following feature? i mean open 9 number of images in a photoshop and run a script on them at same time. I remember you sent me this gif on this forum a few months ago.

I suspect it must have been a for-clause (referring to app.documents.length).

And the Script does not run its operations on them at the same time exactly, it selects each image in turn and runs on that, then the next etc.

Finally I found a method that works on almost all chart images.

The method I found is not complicated, but it takes nearly 2.5 hours to excute on 1000 images.

If I share the method with you here, can you help speed it up? Or you are still not interested in continuing this topic.

Thank you but if you have a functioning method then by all means use it.

When you have familiarized yourself with Photoshop Scripting further you may be able to improve the perfomance but as it is 9 seconds per image does not seem that bad.

Another thing:

If you have succeeded in automating the processing of images of so many different properties/appearances you should take some pride in that.

Maybe you will be able to improve the performance in the future, give it time.

Can you tell me how can i use your script on chart images that have not white background?

I mean following script that you provided me before:

That takes some specific changes and those might not work out on other images.
Also there is a dark line on the left edge and the colorful headline could become a problem.

By @c.pfaffenbichler

Therefore, isn't it better to create the script in such a way that in each type of chart image, I first select text on the left side with the color range and then execute the script?

Can you tell me how to increase space that must apply by following script between layers to 2X? (this is your script that shared with me before)

That takes some specific changes and those might not work out on other images.
Also there is a dark line on the left edge and the colorful headline could become a problem.

By @c.pfaffenbichler

If i get different image with different background color next time, can i modify your script by chatGPT for it?

If i want to modify your script for it, what i must request from chatGPT? for example i must get color code of background and text color code and provide them to chatGPT and what i must ask from it?

Report · Jul 24, 2023

Chat GPT is none of my business.

I think you should familiarize yourself with Photoshop Scripting, go through the operations to determine at which step the actual result does not meet the expected result anymore, figure out which of the preceding steps needs modification, change it and test again.

Or, if you are especially industrious, try to create a proper AI application for this task – which is not something I could do and that would exceed Photoshop’s current capabilities.

Hi, Can you tell me why following photoshop script that you provide to me why not working on attached sample JPG file?

Please tell me how you find problem too. for example with which tool you found that image have dirt

How can i run a script on only selected layer? (not all layers - only selected layer)

I have two question about your script.

1) can you tell me why your script not working on attached sample png?

2) how can i run your script on specific layer only and not all image layers?(both png and jpg format). for example in following i want to run your script on »Layer 1« only?

How to align values of chart images by flip horizontal?
