Hello community, hope eveybody is doing great!
Can anybody help me with my code? I am trying to copy all the info in my alpha channels (spot colors maybe?) to create layer with it's name, I found this one:
and works good! but it creates things that... I don't know what are they like the ones I point in this screen shot:
The image is in "negative" if I explain myself good, the layers seems to be masked and I need it like a normal layer, I don't know what is that channel I am point which gets the name of the layer I choose, idk.... Here is a code I've been working but I honestly surrender, sorry about the spanish:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var channelList = [];
if (activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.RGB) {
alert("the doc is RGB");
for (var i = 2; i < doc.channels.length; i++) {
alert("valor de i es " + i + " conteo en la lista es " + channelList.length);
alert(doc.channels[i].name);
channelList.push(doc.channels[i].name);
alert("conteo en la lista es " + channelList.length);
alert("ahora se va a seleciconar el canal " + channelList[i-2]);
doc.activeChannels = [doc.channels.getByName(channelList[i-2])];
var lyr = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add();
lyr.name = doc.channels[i].name;
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
app.activeDocument.selection.copy();
app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();
app.activeDocument.paste();
}
}
if (activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.CMYK) {
alert("the doc is CMYK");
for (var i = 3; i < doc.channels.length; i++) {
alert(doc.channels[i].name);
}
}
I just need to copy all the info in the channels I separated from a picture, whether is CMYK or RGB to layers, please help, thanks.

I found a solution, i used the code in the following thread:
But adding some lines and actions in PS in order to make what I needed, BUT.... I will really appreaciate if somebody can tell me how to make it work from the top of the channels to the bottom of the channels, right now it creates layers from the bottom to the top. here it is:
//code by c.pfaffenbichler
if (a

@AntonioPacheco – OK, I think that you need to change this line:
for (var m = theChannels.length-1; m >= 0; m--) {
to this:
for (var m = 0; m < theChannels.length; m++) {
Full code with very limited testing:
//code by c.pfaffenbichler
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
if (activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.RGB || activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.CMYK) {
var theChannels = collectChannels();
activeDocument.selection.deselect();
// create layers;

Thanks for your answer! What I use the most is alpha channels with pantone colors (Solid Coated), when I create alpha channels with the information I need, I normaly select a pantone color here in the channel, the script has worked perfect all this time! I just was wondering if is possible to also get the color I chose and copy/set it in the new created layer (maybe as a color overlay in the layer?? not sure, I am not too familiar with photoshop script)
thank you!
