Script create curves adjustment layer with specific point

  • May 6, 2021

I want to have a script that creates the curves layer with specific point but in the channels too.

 

I found this script here, 

 

It works but i don't know how to then draw points on the red green and blue channels rather than just the composite?

Many Thanks

    You can use ScriptingListener.plugin to record the code and then wrap it into a function that takes arguments in a clearer form.
