Use Foreground Color In ColorChanger

[Pahrump]

I am trying to write a script that:
opens an image that is essentially a monochromatic chip or sample
crops a rectangle from that image
resizes the canvas around the rectangle
pastes a saved image into the canvas
uses the eyedropper to set the foreground color to the color of the rectangle
changes the color of the pasted-in image to the color of the rectangle (foreground color set by the eyedropper)
saves and closes the image

The problem I am having is I don't know how to change the script that I have saved after going through these steps so that the color changer uses the color from the eyedropper. I need it to be variable. But all that happens is the color of the very first image used when I recorded the script is used again and again.

I assume that this line needs to be changed, but I don't know to what:

'Color': (220,224,16),

Here is the entire script:

Thank you for any help

Pahrump,

From my experience, I've used the GetMaterial command to get the eyedropper color which is placed in the foreground color.

Code: Select all

    # Get color from Eyedropper which is in the foreground (IsPrimary: 1):
    material_dict = App.Do(Environment, 'GetMaterial', {
            'IsPrimary': 1,
            'GeneralSettings': {
                'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Silent,
                'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match,
                'Version': ((23,0,0),1)
            }
        })
    
    # The color is RGB:
    color = material_dict['Color']

    # Color Changer
    App.Do( Environment, 'ColorChanger', {
            'Color': color,
            'Tolerance': 35,
            'Antialias': 5,
            'PointList': [(303.5,357.5)],
            'GeneralSettings': {
            'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default,
            'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match,
            'Version': ((23,0,0),1)
        }
    })

Eyedropper to Color Changer.zip

The above code has been added to the script.

Thank you, that worked. I'd like to buy you a coffee if we can figure out how to communicate.

It was my pleasure. I'm glad it works.
