Set color replacement tool

[gionnyp9672044]

I would like to change the data of the color replacement tool brush

with a script
I know it can be done with a .tpl file
But I've seen somewhere in the past that it can be done with a script
can someone help me

Did you actually state what you want to change the settings to? 

I am not sure how well a Script could handle that anyway but it seems curious to me that someone serious enough about working in Photoshop to investigate Scripting approaches would even use the Color Replacement Tool – to me it seems useless for serious work.

And you know, for example, that I actively use this tool. But through the script, I only select it and set the color.

Mr. r-bin
I also use this tool a lot and every time I have to change all the settings

so if you can do it with scripts it would help me
more than anything else, it's a lesson in programming a script

thank you

What do you want to change the Tool’s settings to? 

How many different combinations of settings do you want to invoke via Script?

I do not set parameters for the tools, because it doesn't work in CS6. Only setting parameters for the brush descriptor works.

Here is the complete code for this tool. I think you yourself will figure out where and what.

var op = new ActionDescriptor();

op.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("CRTm"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("color")); // hue, saturation, color, luminosity
op.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("tolerance"), 30);
op.putInteger(charIDToTypeID("CRSm"), 0);    // sampling options: 0,1,2
op.putInteger(charIDToTypeID("CRCg"), 1);    // limits: 0,1,2 
op.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("CRAl"), true); // anti-alias


/**************  these parameters can be omitted, all or part 

op.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("revert")); // it is not known why 

var CRRc = new ActionDescriptor();
CRRc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"),   0);
CRRc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("green"), 0);
CRRc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue"),  0);
op.putObject(charIDToTypeID("CRRc"), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), CRRc); 

var CRTc = new ActionDescriptor();
CRTc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"),   0);
CRTc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("green"), 0);
CRTc.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue"),  0);
op.putObject(charIDToTypeID("CRTc"), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), CRTc); 

op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("usePaintDynamics"), true);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useBrushPose"), false);
op.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("smoothingValue"), 0);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("smoothingRadiusMode"), false);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("smoothingCatchup"), true);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("smoothingCatchupAtEnd"), false);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("smoothingZoomCompensation"), true);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("pressureSmoothing"), false);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("usePressureOverridesSize"), false);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("usePressureOverridesOpacity"), false);
op.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("useLegacy"), false);

// brush settings

var brush = new ActionDescriptor();
brush.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("diameter"), stringIDToTypeID("pixelsUnit"), 13);
brush.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("hardness"), stringIDToTypeID("percentUnit"), 100);
brush.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("angle"), stringIDToTypeID("angleUnit"), 0);

op.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("minimumRoundness"), stringIDToTypeID("percentUnit"), 25);
op.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("tiltScale"), stringIDToTypeID("percentUnit"), 200);

var prVr = new ActionDescriptor();
prVr.putInteger(charIDToTypeID("bVTy"), 0);

just what I was looking for
thank you.

I was not aware of that; in which context do you usually use it?

Which advantages does it offer to you compared to a Layer (or Solid Color Layer or Adjustment Layer) with the appropriate Blend Mode? 

[gionnyp9672044]

I work with images with a green background
unfortunately a green dominant remains on the outskirts
to remove it I use this tool
