Hi all,

I'm a Photoshop novice, using CS5 extended, and I'm wondering if there's any way to automatically record the coordinates of a color selection using the measurement and selection tool features.

For example, if I look at a photo over which a layer has been drawn containing nothing but colored dots, I would like to be able to somehow record the individual location (a la a cartesian coordinate system) of each one of those dots. I know that the Info bar tracks mouse location, but ideally I'd like to automate the recording of these multiple locations. I know how to count the number of these dots, but knowing exactly where they lie on the Photoshop image grip would be invaluable.

I'll be happy to provide more information if it's necessary - I'm also wondering if Illustrator has a function that might be able to help me.

Thanks in advance!

I doubt it.
The only thing I can think of is to create a blank layer on top of all your other layers.

Use a small hard brush and click a dot on the areas you want to mark in that layer.

You'll have a kind of map overlay to mark the areas.
