how to use python code to set color management policies RGB "off"

Question

Hello, I am trying to use python script to set photoshop cc 2018 Edit->Color settings->Color Management Policies->RGB to "Off"

and Edit->Preferences->Plug-ins->Enable Generator "unchecked"

and then run some other code, when i those processes finished , I also need code to set these two settings back to what they were before.

Is that possible? Thanks very much.

If you can integrate JS into your proceedings this should work to set the RGB policy to »off«:

var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();

var ref2 = new ActionReference();

ref2.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), stringIDToTypeID( "colorSettings" ) );

ref2.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "capp" ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );

desc9.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref2 );

var desc10 = new ActionDescriptor();

desc10.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID( "policyRGB" ), stringIDToTypeID( "policy" ), charIDToTypeID( "Off " ) );

desc9.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "T " ), stringIDToTypeID( "colorSettings" ), desc10 );

executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "setd" ), desc9, DialogModes.NO );

One can use ScriptingListener.plugin to record the JS-code for many Photoshop operations.

Photoshop scripting information is here: Adobe Photoshop Scripting

Supported external scripting languages are AppleScript and VBScript. Perhaps Python can work in the required Apple Event/COM environment.
