I had a look at the version that ships with CS4. There is a function named 'this.saveFile'. That function has an if statement 'if ( this.params["jpeg"] )' and finially in the if statement there is another if block...

Are you sure that is how the action records in CS3? On Windows XP if I crtl-click on a layer visible icon it toggles the layer. Right-click gets the popup menu to turn off other layers, and alt-click toggles the other layers on and off. With my system CS3 right-click records the layers names that are toggled. Alt-clicking does not. ... View more

Yes the guide is misleading. It says 'For this property, only COMPUSERVEGIF, JPEG, PNG-8, PNG-24, and BMP are supported.' It really should say 'For this property, only COMPUSERVEGIF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP are supported.' But if you look under SaveDocumentType you will not find PNG-8 or PNG-24 listed in the values. ...

You can turn that bit of scriptlistner code into a function that you can pass either a file object or string to for it to open the passed file. var f = '~/My Documents/angie/soccer dude [Converted].eps'; // or // var f = new File( '~/My Documents/angie/soccer dude [Converted].eps' ); openFile( f ) function openFile( file ){     var desc = new ActionDescriptor();     desc.putPath( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), new File( file ) );     executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Opn " ), desc, DialogModes.NO ); } But again I don't know if this will work with your app. It sounds like the app is not passing the arguments the script needs to work which is why you are getting the Script returned error"-message. ...

I'm not sure this will work with the app you are using but I think the problem is that if you tell Photoshop to open an eps file with options those options are used even if the file is a Photoshop eps. The function below will test an eps file to see if it's generic or Photoshop. If it's Photoshop it opens the file without options. If it's a generic eps it opens it with the supplied options function openEPS( file, options ){    var test = file;    test.open('r');    var str = test.read();    test.close();    var res = str.search('Adobe Photoshop');    res = !!res;    if( res ){ // photoshop eps so open without options        open( file );    }else{// generic eps so supply options        open( file, options );   } } var epsOpts = new EPSOpenOptions(); epsOpts.antiAlias = true; epsOpts.mode = OpenDocumentMode.CMYK;// other modes - GRAYSCALE, LAB, or RGB epsOpts.resolution = 300;// pixels per inch epsOpts.constrainProportions = true; // if constrainProportions == true you can only set the width // but if you don't set both Photoshop will throw a missing value error epsOpts.width = new UnitValue(7, 'in' ) epsOpts.height =  new UnitValue( 5, 'in' );// height is ingored unless constrainProportions == false var f = new File('~/Desktop/soccer dude [Converted].eps' ); openEPS( f, epsOpts ); ...

I guess that I do not understand what you are asking. Photoshop can open two types of eps files. Photoshop EPS and Generic EPS. Photoshop EPS files do not need open options because the raster options are in the file. You can't tell Photoshop to open a generic eps as a Photoshop eps because it doesn't know how to rasterize it. You can open a generic eps using the open options then save the doc as a Photoshop eps so you will not need to set the options again the next time you open the file. The code I posted opens a Generic EPS file and rasterize it using the open options. It sets the dimensions, color mode, and resolution. ... View more

Add these two line to Paul's script after rasterLayer(); and before saveJpeg activeDocument.selection.select( [[0,0],[activeDocument.width/2,0],[activeDocument.width/2,activeDocument.height],[0,activeDocument.height]]); activeDocument.selection.clear(); This will clear the left half of the activeLayer, hopefully that is where the watermark is on that layer. You may have to edit the selection bounds to clear the right side as it's not clear which on which side the watermark is on the activeLayer. You will also need to set the ruler units to pixels. ...

I don't use Mathlab so this is just a shot in the dark but you might want to try going to the Edit menu and choosing Assign Profile. In the dialog choose 'Don't Color Manage This Document'. I would think that would sent out values to Mathlab not adjusted to any profile. If that doesn't work you might try the sGray profile or one of the Gamma. As I understand it Dot Gain is how the ink spreads on paper when screened and printed. It has to do with how much ink is layed down by the press and the paper stock. ... View more

There is nothing really wrong with using scriptlistner code. Sometimes that is the only way to get something done. Some times it's better to use sl code even when there is a DOM version because it's faster. It's just in this case the DOM version is shorter, more readable, and as fast the the sl version. ...

I turned this into a function that works with gray, rgb, lab, or cmyk images. If the doc mode is not one of those listed the function does not return a color. There is no doc bounds check and at least with CS4 if try to make a selection off canvas the returned color is for the whole doc. Still expects the ruler set to pixels function getSelectionColor( x, y, sampleSize ){      try{           x = x - ( sampleSize / 2 );           y = y - ( sampleSize / 2 );           activeDocument.selection.select([[x, y], [x+sampleSize, y], [x+sampleSize, y+sampleSize], [x, y+sampleSize]], SelectionType.REPLACE, 0, false);           activeDocument.activeLayer.applyAverage();           var re = RegExp( '[123456789]' );           var sColor = new SolidColor();           if ( activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.GRAYSCALE ) {               var gv = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[0].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.gray.gray = 100 * (gv/255);           }           if ( activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.RGB ) {               sColor.rgb.red = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[0].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.rgb.green = re.exec( activeDocument.channels[1].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.rgb.blue = re.exec( activeDocument.channels[2].histogram.toString() ).index/2;           }           if ( activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.LAB ) {               var lv = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[0].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.lab.l = 100 * ( lv/255 );               sColor.lab.a = ( re.exec( activeDocument.channels[1].histogram.toString() ).index/2 ) - 128;               sColor.lab.b = ( re.exec( activeDocument.channels[2].histogram.toString() ).index/2 ) -128;           }           if ( activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.CMYK ) {               var cv = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[0].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.cmyk.cyan = 100 * (1-(cv/255));               cv = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[1].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.cmyk.magenta = 100 * (1-(cv/255));               cv = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[2].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.cmyk.yellow = 100* (1-(cv/255));               cv = re.exec(activeDocument.channels[3].histogram.toString() ).index/2;               sColor.cmyk.black = 100 * (1-(cv/255));           }           executeAction( charIDToTypeID('undo'), undefined, DialogModes.NO );           return sColor;      }catch(e){} } var c = getSelectionColor( -12, -12, 11 );// no selection is made and the whole doc is sampled var c = getSelectionColor( 100, 100, 3 );// selection centered at 56,56- odd sample sizes one pixel off centred var c = getSelectionColor( 500,500, 4 );// selection sentered at 250,250 ...

If taking multi samples are too slow you can do something like this to get the average.

Just so it's clear to anyone reading this thread. If the adjustment layer is the activeLayer the color will be from either the layer mask( default reading ) if there is one or the top most visible layer with a pixel at that point( no mask ). If there is a mask  the mask color is returned even if there is a visible layer above the adjustment layer If it's not the adjustment layer then it's the top most visible layer with a pixel at the point. That may or not be the activeLayer. To ensure the activeLayer is the one the color is from your script will need to turn off all layers above the activeLayer. ... View more
