How to remove all layers except layers with range of height or width?

Report · Mar 12, 2023

I have multiple images with transparent background (about 1000 images) like this sample image:

and i can convert all components of images to specific layers using following script:

//Change any of the following 5 values to customize the default options for the script:

var showOptionsDialog = true; //Set to false to disable prompt to user.
var tolerance = 0;            // the largest gap of transparent pixels that will be ignored. Also sets default
var confirmThreshold = 20;    // If the script is going to make a large number of layers, prompt user to confirm that this is OK
var suffix = " - ";           // Add this to the Layer name of new Layers.  Set to "" for no additions.
var addCount = true;          // Add a numeral to the end of each new Layer

After convert components to layers, i need a script that i set range of height on it (Exa. 65-70 pixels) and script will keep only the layers with the height range that I set and delete the rest of the layers.

which code can do this?

Of course, the code I put to convert components into layers is not optimal and fast, do you know a more optimal code for this?

You can use this to collect the Layers’ bounds (from which you can get the height) and then use the layerID to delete the Layers that don’t meet your requirements.

Edited the code to collect the heights right away (the last element of the Arrays in the Array).

// 2023, use it at your own risk;

if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var theLayers = collectLayersBounds ();
    alert (theLayers.join("\n"));

I have removed all image components except words and numerical values from thousands of graph images using Photoshop Action feature and "Trace Contour" filter but result images have some stain that i must remove using photoshop action feature or scripts. for example this two sample image that have stain:

If you look closely, there are some stains in the pictures:

Do you have an idea to remove these stain from thousands of images automatically with Photoshop action feature or scripts?

Is it possible to select the space on the right side of numerical values? for example:

The red area

maybe i must select all numerical values using magic wand tool and copy to specific layer and fill by red color then scale or stretch bottom number to the top for create a boundary line and select the space on the right side with the Magic Wand tool.

Do you have an idea to stretch the bottom number to the top?
