- Thread-topic: Image Events can't see Gray color space
I'm working on a simple script to give me the color space of certain images.
I'm using the example scripts from the Apple site (
http://www.apple.com/applescript/imageevents/02.html) to get the
information.
The basic script is this:
set theFile to (choose file)
tell application "Image Events"
launch
set this_image to open theFile
copy the color space of this_image to theColor
close this_image
end tell
display dialog theColor as string
This works well on images that are either RGB or CMYK. However, any image
that is Grayscale returns an error saying "The variable theColor is not
defined".
If I get the properties of the image I see that the color space property is
listed as "missing value". If I open the image in Preview and do a "Get
Info" is says the color space is "gray". According to the Image Events
dictionary the color space "gray" is a valid value but it doesn't see it.
Is this a known issue/bug? Anyone have any ideas as to why Image Events
chokes on grayscale images? I've tried saving different images out as
grayscale in both Preview and Photoshop CS 2 in case PS was writing
something weird but they all get the same error. I've also tried it on
different machines and get the same error.
Many thanks for any advice!
