Script - select all pixels of specific color ?

Post by scottb613 »

Hi Folks,

I’ve recorded and used scripts for various repetitive tasks before - one task I cant seem to figure out is how to select all pixels of a specific color on various images I process... Similar to using the magic wand for color with 0 variation selected - by clicking on a pixel of a desired color - contiguous set to off... On any given image i dont know where the color i want will appear - but i do know the specific color... Anyway to automate this selection task with a script ?

Thanks...

Regard,
Scott

1) select all
2) selections->modify-> select color range
3) select the color you want and set it to remove that color from the selection
4) accept change
5) invert selection

Or

1) paint the pixel at 0,0 the color you want with a single pixel brush.
2) Then use the magic wand on that pixel, 0 tolerance, non-contiguous.
