PixelSearch Faster?

[layer]

hey again, is there a way to make PixelSearch faster so that it doesnt take a second before the other funtion takes place? besides making the place to search smaller, there must be a way to make it faster.

Nope sorry =/ Just shorten the area of the search.

Did you check the help file?

Hint:

Use the step parameter.

if the item you are looking for has a large area of color, you could use a checkerboard type search for it.

In other words, if you were looking for a Yellow circle that was 300 pixels tall, you could have pixelsearch a box 20x20 then skip the next 20x20, and search the next 20x20, ect etc.

basically this is what step does

or you could do a search of 2pixels x desktop hieght skip next 30 width and repeat as long as your item is larger than 30 pixels in width in that color. but that would have to be scripted.

try scanning every other pixel or every n th pixel. As you can probably guess, this increases excecution speed by a factor of n.
