Photoshop Increase Decrease HSB hotkey

Pabs · May 2014

like increase/decrease brush size [ ]
is there any hotkey that increases/decreases: hue, saturation, brightness?

That is an interesting idea. Not that I know of but it should be pretty simple to make a script for. I'll look into it!

EDIT: Might have spoken too fast

Yeah. Doesnt look like there is any option besides manually "setting" it which is useless as you dont have a preview of what that saturation was. Wish Photoshop scripting model was better.

Well that is unfortunate

Thanks for posting the info before I wasted a whole bunch of time trying to figure it out.

I guess the best option is to use a color wheel like Coolorus or the like.

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it may be a nice stopgap in the meantime:

With the brush tool selected, hold down Alt+Shift+RMB. You can then drag the cursor around to select a new color without having to go to the color palette or color picker.

thanks swizzle, but i think i'll just use autohotkey

O sorry I derped. Thought you meant HSB of the image. You can change the HSB on a brush

Example of decreasing brightness:

app.foregroundColor.hsb.brightness = app.foregroundColor.hsb.brightness - 1;

Ill try and make it as scripts with timers as right now if you run that you have to smash the the key to decrease

I've been on the hunt for a similar script recently, after seeing this pretty amasing youtube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8avdCe-w96g) , of a guy using a midi input device to control Photoshop sliders, I've been determined to find out how to do such a thing in Windows. As I'm not technically minded it's been a murderous challenge, but I have found some gold along the way that I can share with you.

Light/Darken Script:

Another script but in text form.

(Sounds like a more versatile script but I have no idea how to apply it, any guidance would be appreciated?)

Here is script I've developed hope it helps. If you have autohotkey installed you can use it with mouse gestures as well.

I'm having some trouble getting the scripts to work properly for me, both those listed in the linked adobe thread, and the one posted by buliarca. I've tried saving the script in the adobe thread as a .jsx file and then loading into photoshop, but nothing happens when I import it. Alternatively, buliarca's scripts have some success, but if I change the percentage that I wish to adjust the hsb sliders, they end up cycling in a small loop. I'm inexperienced when it comes to working with scripts, so if anyone has suggestions that would be amazing. Thank you.

Hi Miroanimates, for the script I've done it is
supposed to work like that, for instance if you are increassing the brightness with 5 procent after you will reach the 100 it will start from 0. Do you prefer it to stop? Maybe I can add an option to be checked so it will stop.

Miroanimates · Jan 2015

Hi Buliarca,
Actually it's doing something a little different for me, I changed the percentage to three, and then if I'm using the one of the increase hotkeys, and say I'm starting on 61, it will progress to 64, then 67, then 70, then 73, then 76, but then reverse and start going back down again, back to 70, then to 67, then to 64, etc. It will just keep looping in a small bracket. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hi Miroanimates,
hmm that's wierd, I've testd the script and it worked like it supposed to. Would you be willing to make a video screen capture, maybe I can spot the problem when you are using it?

c.buliarca · Jan 2015

I've updated the script, maybe now it won't make any problems anymore.
