Hi,

Is it possible to set the Working Spaces in Photoshop CS3 Color Settings directly? I have been using eg,

convert to profile “U.S. Sheetfed Coated v2” intent absolute colorimetric with dithering without blackpoint compensation

(Thanks to Mark Larsen)

I would like to be able to set Working Space for RGB and CMYK so that all new documents that I create from imported PDfs are automatically in my destination colour profile.

thanks,
Jamie

Hi

Is this what your after?:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS"
	activate
	set thisdoc to current document
	if (mode of thisdoc is RGB) then
		change mode thisdoc to CMYK
		--close current document saving no
	end if
end tell

Thanks for the reply, but what I’m after is a way to set Photoshop’s default Working Space profiles for RGB and CMYK. They are the one’s that you see when you go Edit → Color Settings… and into the area called Working Spaces.

Hi

You can create your own settings in edit>Color Settings then use the name of those settings in applescript to change.


tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
	set color settings to "Your Color Settings"
end tell

or use the name of any presets


tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
	set color settings to "Monitor Color"
end tell

Thank you, weedinner. This script does do the jobs perfectly but I wonder is there a way to use the applescript to set the profile directly? So that we don’t have to pre save the settings in the Photoshop.
Tks!
