Hi everyone, i want to create photoshop script to set black point, white point, gray point on the curve from available color sample at specific position on image. set "black point" of curve from color sample at position x=1000, y=40 set "gray point" of curve from color sample at position x=1000, y=500 set "white point" of curve from color sample at position x=1000, y=960 i tried a program but it doesn't seem to work. my photoshop version is 25.12 please guide me, I appreciate your help. #target photoshop
function setCurvePoints() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Get color sample values at specified positions
var blackPointSample = getColorSample(1000, 40);
var grayPointSample = getColorSample(1000, 500);
var whitePointSample = getColorSample(1000, 960);
// Create a new Curves adjustment layer
var idCurves = stringIDToTypeID("Curves");
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putClass(idCurves);
desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
executeAction(charIDToTypeID("Mk "), desc, DialogModes.NO);
var adjustmentLayer = doc.activeLayer;
// Set the black point
setCurvePoint(adjustmentLayer, blackPointSample, [0, 0]);
// Set the white point
setCurvePoint(adjustmentLayer, whitePointSample, [255, 255]);
// Set the gray point
setCurvePoint(adjustmentLayer, grayPointSample, [128, 128]);
alert("Curves adjustment points have been set.");
}
// Get color sample at specified position
function getColorSample(x, y) {
var samplePoint = [x, y];
var colorSampler = app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.add(samplePoint);
var colorSample = colorSampler.color.rgb;
colorSampler.remove();
return colorSample;
}
// Set a point on the Curves adjustment layer
function setCurvePoint(layer, colorSample, targetPoint) {
try {
var idCurves = stringIDToTypeID("curves");
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("AdjL"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));

@Stephen Marsh luckily, i tried to create action for these options and when i looked at the details written there i was lucky to get 2 keywords. With option 2 "auto" for option 2 -> works With option 3 "autoBlackWhite" for option 3 -> works but when i tried to add checkbox "snap neutrals middtone" I combined keyword: "autoBlackWhitewithAutoNeuTrals" but it didn't work. With option 4: keyword "autoEnhanceBrightnessAndContrast" also didn't work Please help me fix the two keywords: autoBlackWhitewithAutoNeuTrals autoEnhanceBrightnessAndContrast

thank @Ghoul Fool At the moment, this code runs exactly as i want but unfortunately i dont know how to program in photoshop so this program is the result of patching together parts of code. i think it is not optimized. Goal: Apply auto brightness from "auto" Brightness/Contrast function in photoshop but keep only brightness value and remove contrast value. Step 1: Run the code to create "auto" brightness/contrast as default (not legacy). Step 2: Get brightness value and remove layer. Step 3: Create new Brightness/Contrast layer with brightness value obtained in step 2 and contrast value set to 0. Is there any way to set contrast value (set contrast = 0 or 1,2 ..) right after step 1? CODE: // STEP 1 - make Auto Brightness/contrast default // Apply auto brightness/contrast adjustment var autoDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); var reference = new ActionReference(); reference.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("adjustmentLayer")); autoDescriptor.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), reference); var typeDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); var brightnessDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); brightnessDescriptor.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("auto"), true); brightnessDescriptor.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useLegacy"), false); typeDescriptor.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("type"), stringIDToTypeID("brightnessEvent"), brightnessDescriptor); autoDescriptor.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("using"), stringIDToTypeID("adjustmentLayer"), typeDescriptor);

My needs were pretty simple, This program helped me turn off the layer that had less vibrant colors (which is a sign that less data was collected). So I kept the original program but I think you can definitely name the layer. So far it works pretty much like I wanted. For the action script I created two color samples from the source light and a midtone and overlaid them on two circles to select.

My need is actually just to hide the layer with less colors (usually more color than 808080 gray) automatically. For example in the image above I need to hide circle B (closer to grey), in other cases it could be circle A if it is less colorful than B, closer to grey than B.

I find the neutral gray point of an image using two methods: When the image is well exposed, neutral gray point A has more color and B has less color and is lighter. When the image is not well exposed, neutral gray point B has more color and A has less color and is lighter. Photos from birthday parties, graduations, or trips often contain many images with unstable exposure. so i have to click many times. I stacked them on top of each other and created an action in Photoshop to call the curve and used the auto click program to click exactly at the point where the two layers A,B overlap. But the new problem that arises is that when stacking, I even have to hide the mismatched layer manually. So I want to find a way to automatically hide the inappropriate layer (the layer with less color)
