  getRedHistogramStdDev(); 

  function getRedHistogramStdDev() {

      var channels = app.activeDocument.channels;

      var red = channels[0].histogram;

      alert(getStdDev(red));

  }

function getStdDev(arry){

        var length = arry.length; 

        var tarry = new Array(length);

        var si = 0;

        var s = 0;

        for (var i = 0; i < arry.length; i += 1) {

            if (arry[i] > 0) {

                s += i;

                si += arry[i];

            }

        }

        var average = si / s;

        for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {

            var dev = parseFloat(arry[i]) - parseFloat(average);

            tarry = Math.pow(dev, 2);  

        }

        var powSum = 0;

 

 

        for (var j = 0; j < tarry.length; j++) {

            if (tarry[j].toString() != "" || tarry[j].toString() != null) {

                powSum = parseFloat(powSum) + parseFloat(tarry[j].toString()); 

            }

        }

        return Math.sqrt(parseFloat(powSum) / parseFloat(length)).toFixed(2);

}

This is my code, but the result is inconsistent with the histogram's StdDev data.Please help me, thanks.

Does this work more consistently? 

// 2018, use at your own risk;

#target "photoshop-120.032"

//#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0 && activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.RGB) {

var theR = histogramMeanStandardDeviation(activeDocument.channels[0].histogram);

var theG = histogramMeanStandardDeviation(activeDocument.channels[1].histogram);

var theB = histogramMeanStandardDeviation(activeDocument.channels[2].histogram);

alert ((theR[2]+theG[2]+theB[2])/3);

};

////// get mean of hist

Hi c.pfaffenbichler,sorry to disturb you.I want to get value of theMax and theMin in histogram not the the pixels,how to get this? Thanks

Does this work? (Edit: Otherwise I may have misunderstood your intention.)

// 2018, use at your own risk;

#target "photoshop-120.032"

//#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0 && activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.RGB) {

var theMinMax = histogramMinMax(activeDocument.histogram);

alert ("min "+theMinMax[0]+"\nmax "+theMinMax[1]);

};

////// get mean of histogram //////

function histogramMinMax (theHist) {

// the minimum;

var check = false;

var theMin = 0;

while (check == false) {

if (theHist[theMin] != 0) {

check = true

} else {theMin++}

};

// the maximum;

var check = false;

var theMax = 255;

while (check == false) {

if (theHist[theMax] != 0) {

check = true

} else {theMax--}

};

//

return ([theMin, theMax]);

};

It is that i mean, forgive me for not being clear,because i am not clear about the relationship with them which like "n * theHist" in histogram.Thanks again.

n being the index also indicated the luminance while theHist indicates the number of pixels of that luminance.

Will this work on 32 bpc floating point data?  If not, is there a quick workaround?

Thanks,

Well, would not be the first time the Forum software displays »issues«, would it?

Have you tried contacting an Admin or asking about the issue on

Forum comments

yet?

No that is no problem for me, it doesn't happen often, especially taking into consideration I forgot 's' at end of 'month' in last post. So once a 1,5 month something causing I'm alerted of new posts in certain topic.

Hello dearest people and @c.pfaffenbichler !

I don't get this script working. Gives me a spinning cursor and after that nothing happens. Then i fired it in ESTK and it gave me "theMedian is undefined". I tried to figure it out by myself but the best what i get out of it is "NaN" lol.
Is this again some typo error because of the glorious change of forum software? If yes, i don´t find it,

The first script from @raxby gives me "0.00" all the time btw.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I can also add that I can't get the script working in later versions either, looking for the Std Dev.
