Colorguard

Having recently tackled a few Photoshop scripts (available here: https://github.com/joshrhode/design-tools/) I've spent a long night putting together my first panel extension — Colorguard.

Colorguard has two really neat features:

1. Select as many layers as you want (vector and text layers!) and automatically fill them all with the foreground color.

2. Find/replace all colors in a PSD file, or in an entire folder of PSDs. It's really simple. Enter the hexcodes you want to find, and hexcodes you want to replace them with. Click. Done. It will inspect every vector shape and text layer and update their colors based on your list.

Colorguard only works for Photoshop CC 2015, so upgrade if you haven't. Here's how you install it:

MAC
Run this command in Terminal or open the folder directly:
open /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions

Unzip into it. It should end up as /Adobe/CEP/extensions/Colorguard/

WINDOWS
Unzip to either:

Windows 64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\
Windows 32: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\

It should end up as \Adobe\CEP\extensions\Colorguard\

Here you go!
