Script call dodge & burn

[ANCHINGO]

Hello all,

Please help me write a script.

I want call the dodge & burn tool with setup:

1. Dodge: Range: Highlight, Exposure: 100%

2. Burn: Range: Shadow, Exposure: 100%

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank in advance!

Have you some design for how the script will function  dodge and burn are normally interactive  processes.

Dodge: Range: Highlight, Exposure: 100%;  Burn: Range: Shadow, Exposure: 100% ???

Have you written a prototype script?

Hello JJMack,

I just want simple:

Example case 1: current tool is Brush, I will run script -> current tool is Dodge with setup above.

[Chuck Uebele]

Just create a preset for the tool.

I know, but I need script for other project. 🙂

Raw AM code via ScriptListener for Dodge:

var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc561 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref203 = new ActionReference();
        var idDdTl = charIDToTypeID( "DdTl" );
        ref203.putClass( idDdTl );
    desc561.putReference( idnull, ref203 );
executeAction( idslct, desc561, DialogModes.NO );

Change "DdTl" to "BrTl" for Burn – and idDdTl to idBrTl for Burn.

AM code for Dodge (via Clean SL):

select();
function select() {
	var c2t = function (s) {
		return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var s2t = function (s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	var reference = new ActionReference();

	reference.putClass( s2t( "dodgeTool" ));
	descriptor.putReference( c2t( "null" ), reference );
	executeAction( s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}

AM code for Burn (via Clean SL):

select();
function select() {
	var c2t = function (s) {
		return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var s2t = function (s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	var reference = new ActionReference();

	reference.putClass( s2t( "burnInTool" ));
	descriptor.putReference( c2t( "null" ), reference );
	executeAction( s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}

I am not aware of an option for setting the actual tool settings, apart from calling a tool preset.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your help!

I hope there is a way to setting option for them.

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

As I said at the foot of my first post:

I am not aware of an option for setting the actual tool settings, apart from calling a tool preset.

Yes, Maybe someone will continue write it 🙂

dodgeTool:

var r = new ActionReference();   
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool"));   
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));   
  
var options = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));             
  
 
options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"),stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"),stringIDToTypeID("dodgeH"));   
options.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("exposure"),100);  
  

var r = new ActionReference();   
r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("dodgeTool"));   //dodgeTool    burnInTool
var d = new ActionDescriptor();   
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);   
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("null"), options);   
  
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);   

burnInTool:

var r = new ActionReference();   
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool"));   
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));   
  
var options = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));             
  
 
options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"),stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"),stringIDToTypeID("burnInS"));   
options.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("exposure"),100);  
  

var r = new ActionReference();   
r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("burnInTool"));   //dodgeTool    burnInTool
var d = new ActionDescriptor();   
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);   
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("null"), options);   
  
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);

Thank you so much!

The great! This is what I need.

Have a nice day!

Great job 龚亮g64532194 !!!

Can you please share where/how you found out how to do that?

[greless]

i also learned from r-bin's sample,such as https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/how-to-set-the-customshapetool-s-shape-name/m-p/10549976#M2...

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

Thank you!

Hello bro 龚亮g64532194,

I don't know why I used it yesterday but it can't be used today 😞

[ANCHINGO]

I resolved it. 🙂

[Geppetto Luis]

Very interesting this

You can do it with spongeTool for me it would be very useful.
