Applescript/Photoshop and reading sampled colour values . [LOCKED – Duplicate thread]

[mrectek]

Hi all,

I've used Image->Adjustments->Thresholds to sample the darkest and lightest points of an image with the eyedropper tool. This provides me with two, in this case,  CMYK measurements in the Info pane. What I'm trying to establish are the AppleScript commands to retrieve these CMYK values from either the points being sampled or those registering in the Info pane.

I have searched the interweb and haven't returned any useful information, although I concede that I may I've used incorrect search terms. I've also looked through the Applescript dictionaries too.

I'd be really grateful for any assistance.

First off you may want to abandon using AS for Photoshop automation, JavaScript as the platform independent language appears to be the majority’s choice wherefore you will likely get more timely and better help with that.

Secondly you may want to post over at:

Thank you for your response.

I've reposted in Photoshop Scripting as you suggested and opened the question to include Javascript too. apart from Adobe's Photoshop Javascript Reference PDF, could you recommend any further reference material?

Kind regards,

Ian
