Hi, Running app.activeDocument.activeChannels.forEach(h => console.log(h.color)); returns Uncaught Error: The operation is not valid for channels of type component. at CompositeChannel.get (uxp://uxp-internal:1) at eval (VM969 Demos.jsx:14) at Array.forEach (<anonymous>) at Demos…

Is it UXP you are talking about? I don’t see in the docs activeChannels for document at all :thinking: How did you find it? Also, is it just console.log(h.color)? I see error comes when you try to eval() something in Demo.jsx

Yes its UXP for photoshop, its there in properties activeChannels. I don’t understand what you mean by eval() something ?

name is accessible but not color

I keep forgetting how bad docs are :man_facepalming: Checked the right side and there’s only saveAs. Didn’t even notice the second Properties item in the menu :frowning: [image] Anyway… What if you try to access specific color representation ? Eg. .color.rgb or .color.cmyk?

Make sure that you use API version 2 on your manifest file. Here is info about this. Also, I found that for basic channels (RGM or CMYK) = “CompositeChannel” this doesn’t work.

How to read color values of the current channels?

Based on this How to get access to pixel data of the active layer? - #20 by Denyoze discussion, does not look like its accessible.
