      Hello. I am asking if it’s possible to create a script to change the color value of an object and swatch based on the existing value. For example, if an object or swatch is 15, 24, 33, 2, it would be changed to 15, 24, 33, 0. I know this sounds ridiculous but our RIP will bump up the value closer to 5 which often results in a more murky color. This is for offset printing and while manually adjusting the colors has given us great results, it’s very tedious and often easy to miss something. I really think a script would be great for saving time and keeping things more consistent.

      I have searched a lot for a script that may even be similar enough that I could adjust it but I haven’t found anything except replacing colors with pre-made values. I was thinking of something similar to if / then loops.

      Thank you for your time and I appreciate any help or direction you can offer.

      Sincerely,
      George

      I think this script might have an answer in your general direction:

      Michel – Thank you for the offer but this is something I’d like to use as a learning experience, so I need to stumble through it.

      Colin – I really appreciate the link you provided. It looks like a good starting point!

      Thank you both!

      George
