Script - Import Adobe Swatch Exchange File

Post by LeviFiction »

Script Name: Import ASE
Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e6Pf5L ... sp=sharing
Compatability: 9- 2018 (tested in X7, x8, X9, 2018)
Requirements: Place in Scripts-Trusted Folder
Video Demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F8gXkI ... mbhEu/view
Description:
ASE files are Adobe's Swatch Exchange files. It's a format that's specifically meant to be used to share color information between different Adobe products. They can contain any number of color swatches in multiple color formats: RGB, CMYK, LAB, Greyscale.

This script allows you to select any ASE file from your harddrive and import them as swatches into the currently selected swatch palette. If they have a name inside the ASE file that name is how the swatch will be named.

Currently, LAB colors are not supported and CMYK do not take the current colorspace into account so they may appear a bit off. So I can only guarantee the RGB, and Greyscale colors will be converted properly with this script.

Tested in 2018 and 2023 works fine.
I advise make a new folder in Corel_14. I named it AOC Files.
In PSP choose in palettes that one. You can also there make a new palette.

The script converts the choosen AOC file namely in the choosen palette.

The corresponding pspscript files coming in user - documents - Corel Paintshop Peo - YOUR VERSION number
(in my case 2018 - 2023)
Admin FB Paintshop Pro NLD for dutch users.
