Question

- i need to get hundreds of color swatech in tiff (Lab color) format.
- i have table with name of color and its Lab values (columns: name; L value; a value; b value) - table i can save as .csv etc.; script can ask for path to .csv file or can be fixed path and filename
- tiff document can be e.g. 10x10 px or 100x100 px.
- tiff file should be naming according to table value (column "name")
- files can by saved e.g. on disc C: (or user can be ask at the start of the batch)
I am not programmer and I will be thankful if somebody write this script (JavaScript).
I think that it will be useful for many graphic designers.
