How to Replace specific color to another color in Photoshop Action and Scripting

Hi All,

How to Replace specific colors to another color in  Photoshop Action and Scripting

[Chuck Uebele]

Are these shape layers? If so you can use scriptlistener to select get the code to replace a color in a shape layer. Other than that you just need to have the script specify which layer you want to change and select that layer with the color.

Try this using the Curves Adjustment Layer

var r = [[0,0], [0x1e,0x04], [0xda,0x8c], [255,255]];
var g = [[0,0], [0x25,0x06], [0x3c,0x1d], [255,255]];
var b = [[0,0], [0x26,0x07], [0x72,0x4c], [255,255]];
add_curves();
set_corner_curves(null, r, g, b);

thanks for your help

colour replace just a solid colour

example:-X,Y

colour X   RGB 255,255,255

to replace

colour Y   RGB 155,155,155

It's unclear what you really need.

If you only need to change the color 255,255,255, and leave 255,255,254 unchanged you can do so.

// stamp visible to a new layer
app.activeDocument.artLayers.add();
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "Dplc" ), true );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "MrgV" ), d, DialogModes.NO );
// fill 1 pixel with source color
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var c = new SolidColor();
c.rgb.red  = 255;
c.rgb.green = 255; 
c.rgb.blue  = 255;   
app.activeDocument.selection.select([[0,0],[1,0],[1,1],[0,1]]);
app.activeDocument.selection.fill(c);
// select similar color
app.activeDocument.selection.similar(0, false);
// fill selection with destination color
var c = new SolidColor();
c.rgb.red  = 155;
c.rgb.green = 155; 
c.rgb.blue  = 155;   
app.activeDocument.selection.fill(c);
app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();
