: Script to change a color in all layers of a PSD file to another color? Is it possible to loop through all layers (there are too many layers) and replace one color with another. Need automated

Changing text colour A to X is straight forward (provided you have no groups than it get a bit more complex):

var colourA = "28bd98";
var colourY = "ff00ff";


changeFontColour(colourA, colourY);



function changeFontColour(X,Y)
{
var numOfLayers = app.activeDocument.layers.length;

// main loop
for (var i = numOfLayers -1; i >= 0 ; i--)
{
var thisLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];

if (app.activeDocument.layers[i].kind == 'LayerKind.TEXT')
{
var currentFontCol = getFontColour(thisLayer);

// alert(currentFontCol + "n" + X);

if (currentFontCol.toUpperCase() == X.toUpperCase())
{

var myColour = new SolidColor();
var RGB = HEXtoRGB(Y);
myColour.rgb.red = RGB[0];
myColour.rgb.green = RGB[1];
myColour.rgb.blue = RGB[2];

// replace text colour
thisLayer.textItem.color = myColour;
}
}
} //end of loop
}

function getFontColour(alayer)
{
var fontColor = alayer.textItem.color;
return fontColor.rgb.hexValue;
}

function HEXtoRGB (hex)
{
var c = 1
if (hex.charAt(0) != "#") c = 0;

var r = parseInt(hex.substring(c,c+2),16)
var g = parseInt(hex.substring(c+2,c+4),16)
var b = parseInt(hex.substring(c+4,c+6),16)
return [r, g, b];
}
