  • Is it possible to control the Curves effect with scripting/expressions?

    Posted by Quba Michalski on October 6, 2014 at 9:00 pm

    In particular, I was hoping to be able to set the curves to the “max value everywhere” state as my script creates it.

    Something like this:

    …rather than the default “climbing up at 45 degrees” slope.

    Is there a way of achieving this via scripting?

    I think Curves is one of those properties where propertyValueType is PropertyValueType.CUSTOM_VALUE, which means scripting doesn’t have any access to the data. Maybe you could have the script apply a preset?

    I’ve wondered if it’s possible to embed a preset in a script the way you can a graphic element, but I’ve never tried it.
