Save As PNG script

Hello,

 

I'm trying to build a script (I don't know anything about coding in JavaScript) that grabs PSD from a folder and save them to PNG with color profile embedded, in a subfolder called PNG.

Like Image Processor does but for PNG.

I know you can do it with an action but I need more flexibility. I have tryied Image Processor Pro but do not give the option to set the compression.

 

Google can find a thread related to this argument but seams to be archived now.

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1511528

 

Any help?

 

var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process");
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles("*.psd");

   pngOptions = new PNGSaveOptions()
   pngOptions.compression = 0
   pngOptions.interlaced = false

   savePath = File(originalDoc.path + "/" + originalDoc.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.png'));
    
    newDoc.saveAs(savePath, pngOptions, false, Extension.LOWERCASE)
    
  
    newDoc.close()
    
    app.activeDocument=originalDoc

I just hacked a script that I previously hacked from another script... Hope it helps (there is both a save for web and save as version):

 

https://gist.github.com/MarshySwamp/597818a60c2210f849ccc21c0e5e30b7

https://gist.github.com/MarshySwamp/a5135a6281632ac3316b66546dc39775

 

In the save as version, I found very large file sizes using pngOptions.compression = 0

Any value from 1 - 9 was preferrable

It works but unfortunately this script converts everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. The PSD files I have are carrying different ICC Profile.

And seams that if I add this to the PNG expoert setting do not work as it should.

exportOptions.includeProfile = true

The sRGB conversation code block is clearly/obviously identified for easy removal.

 

I would be wary of a PNG file that was not in sRGB space.

 

Save as PNG does not support embedded ICC profiles, while Save for Web does.

You are presuming that the display software will honour the embedded RGB profile that is not sRGB, while I was assuming the lowest common viewer as sRGB. You obviously know your audience better than me.

I was jsut searching for a solution for my Proble saving as PNG but keep the icc profile embedded in any case. Unfortunatly this seems not possible with the PNGSaveOptions and it just uses the last manual used option (Which might be to no embed the icc profile).

Finally in v2022 Save As PNG now retains the ICC profile as well as the resolution metadata!

 

Export > Save for Web (Legacy) always embedded the ICC profile, however it strips the resolution metadata.

Thank you. Is it always including the ICC profile or is it optional if optional is there a new parameter for the PNGSaveOptions?

As far as I know, the last update to the scripting reference was in 2020, so there is no object model code for this.

 

In version 2022, one can use the scripting listener plug-in to record the PNG save process including the embedding of the ICC profile.

So I found this way around. It wokrs but you need to set Photoshop to preserve the embedded color profile.

                    function colorProfileType() {
                        app.activeDocument.colorProfileType = ColorProfile.custom;
                    }

The following script retains the original colour space and embeds the same ICC colour profile into the PNG, while saving to a subdirectory of the input folder named PNG:
