Getting RGB and CMYK values

[tpk1982]

Hi,

I am trying to get the RGB and CMYK values for all swatches list in document. It is working fine but it show unnecessary paper color. Could you please someone validate where I missed?

var len=app.documents[0].swatches.everyItem().getElements();  
for(i=3;i<len.length;i++){  
    myColor=app.documents[0].colors;  
    if(myColor.space==ColorSpace.CMYK){
        myCMYK (myColor.colorValue[0],myColor.colorValue[1],myColor.colorValue[2],myColor.colorValue[3])   
        }
    else{
        myRGB (myColor.colorValue[0],myColor.colorValue[1],myColor.colorValue[2])
    }
}
function myRGB (r,g,b){  
    var color = app.documents[0].colors.add({space:ColorSpace.RGB,colorValue:[r,g,b]});  
    color.space = ColorSpace.CMYK;  
    var RGBdummy = color.colorValue;  
    alert("Swatch Name: \t"+myColor.name+"\t"+"Swatch value: \t"+myColor.colorValue+"\nIts relevant CMYK: "+RGBdummy);
    color.remove();  
    return RGBdummy;  
}  
function myCMYK (c,m,y,k){  
    var color = app.documents[0].colors.add({space:ColorSpace.CMYK,colorValue:[c,m,y,k]});  
    color.space = ColorSpace.RGB;  
    var CMYKdummy = color.colorValue;  
    alert("Swatch Name: \t"+myColor.name+"\t"+"Swatch value: \t"+myColor.colorValue+"\nIts relevant RGB: "+CMYKdummy);
    color.remove();  
    return CMYKdummy;  
}

Thanks,

Hi Karthi

add before the for

var paperSwatch = app.documents[0].swatches.itemByName('Paper');

and after the myColor

if(myColor ===   paperSwatch) {continue;}

Hello Trevor,

Thanks for your reply. It will fix the problem but I am also getting Cyan and Magenta alerts. I am not said this in my previous posting.

1) Please open a new document. It contain default colors.

2) Add one RGB color

3) Run the script

Now you can see the results little strange. I am not sure where it went wrong.

FYI.. In future i am going to use this script with UI.. so if i choose a color from dropdown it will show RGB and respective CMYK valse viceversa.

Thanks,

K

So just make an object map of the swatches you don't want, you can use the names

myNotWantedSwatches = {Paper: true, Cyan: true, etc.... }

And then

if (myColor.name in myNotWantedSwatches) {continue;}

Hi Trevor,

Yes we can add whatever we need to eliminate. Jus curious to know why it is showing!!

Thanks,

Should be

myColor=app.documents[0].swatches;

and not

myColor=app.documents[0].colors;

Please mark as answered,

Thanks
